The conception of the felicity posi-,
BILE to be realized by true home life falls
usually far short of true standard,
The means of happiness within the
reach of every household are greater
than they are aware of, and lie more
closely within their reach. Riches may
purchase luxuries, but can never buy
the sweet content and satisfaction that
flow over the humblest household where
affection aud order reign supreme. In
the world, the selfish principle gathers
depth and intensity from the very
nature of the struggle. But home res
cues us from utter selfishness. Here We
learn the beauty of generosity, the
depth Of affection, the selt-abnegation
that only love can teach Let us, then,
cherish our homes as the most sacred
treasures, guarding them jealously from
all that can embitter or defie, yet gen.
erously opening them to cheer and COM
fort those who are less highly favored j..

Our forefathers would have been
astonished and increduIous had they
been told that in 1871 men would have
imbibcd the habit Of making drinking
cups out Of old directories, or bread
pans out of obsolete hymn books. 1t
might even now surprise some OF the
publishers of the West to know that
the Sledge Hummer or the County
Bugle, which they publish is likely to
enter into the composition of a fancy
wash bowl, milk pan or pail, or even
spittoon, and return to them after
many days gaily enameIed and deco
rated, ready for other uses.
Yet these wonders are being per-
formed daily in our city, and We would
not be surprised to know that We are
destined tomorrow to eat dinner from
copy of the Reporter which had
strayed into the mills of Jennings
Bros, and had been ground, baked and
decorated into a frst>class household
utensil.
Messrs. Jennings, Bros have shown
great deal of enterprise in this mat
ter. Their japanese paper ware is now
selling in New York in such a lively
manner that the country will soon
know what it means.
The great advantage of the material
is that it is perfectly light aud easily
handled, has no rough joints or OBJ
structions, does not rust out, shrink,
leak or break, requires no repairs, and
is really superior to anything in wood or
metal, from the variety Of purposes for
which it can be used.
The process Of manufacture is kept,
of course, to some extent secret But
it is easily seen that the material is
tough, fibrous and elastic In the en-
ameling process the articles are SUBJ
jected to extraordinary heat, which
virtually glazes them and makes them
able to resist acids and other destroying
agents which SO readily enter the fibre
of wood or the pores Of metal, to their
eventual destruction.
The milk pals manufactured by the
ilousc WIN DC particularly popular, De-
ing perfectly inodorous and non-con>
ductors. These, as well as house pals
of all descriptions, are, it should be
stated, entirely without hoops, aud are
made from single piece or material
The paper, being pulped, is pressed to
shape, dried, enamelcd, and subjected
to heat which would destroy some
utensils of the kind Farmers will find
these goods particularly valuable flom
the fact that they can lay them aside
after the busy season, and find them
again as good as new. There Is no
moth to corrupt them, and nothing
upon which rust can fasten..-Ne0s-

THE BEST HOME MARKET,


We believe that any good farmer
can make more clear money and better
employ his time, one year with another,
by feeding the produce Of the farm to
such stock as cattle, sheep, goats swine,
chickens, etc, than by depending upon
the ordinary markets, and going to the
expense of shipping his grain, ETC., to
spectators.
This sort of farming will keep up
the fertility of the soil, and beets,
squashes and other vegetables can be
grown to feed with the barley, oats,
wheat, rye, peas, and hay and pastur-
ago. Corn, sorghum and grain all
make good green feed for soiling. The
various grains should be coarsely
ground together and fed in limited
quantities, The stubble fields will
make good pasturage until the rains,
aud y that time, or soon after, the
stock should be fatteued for the mar
kot. There is a better opening for a
business ot this kind in this State than
ia any other State or country that we
know of The following from the
american dgricuitarist. if We include
other grains with corn, is something to
the point:
"Rai!roads aud canal boats are excel
lent institutions, but have never yet
found 80 good a way to send corn to
market as on the four legs of well
iattened animal \ bullock or a hog
will pack away a few bushels of corn
more snugly than any freight master
could do, aud it brings better prices,
after they have worked 1T over into
pork aud beef than in the raw state
With the exception Of wheat, aud per
haps rye, | would not sell peck of
grain from my farm, except for seed
Along Ia the summer, when pasture -
scarce, aud plenty OF cattle are TO be
picked up, / secure enough 10 consume p
all the corn eau spare over what w'll
be needed IL ia,teu my hogs (thc~e

weather commences, set the beet fac

profits in the shape of manure, enough
tn make the operation pay, even If |
could only get the price oil grain as
| before feeding it out, but there is a
| gain here, too. )"

A gentleman in SwanhilI, Mass, has
recently imported from Europe a sclec-
tion of poultry noted not only for their
serviceable and game qualities, but also
for their remarkable intelligence. At
the sound of a bell they skip up lad
der, and while awaiting their meal on
the second floor, preserve the utmost
deeorum, standing in file, awaiting
further orders. The meal being placed
before them one at time, is considered
inviolate until all are served, and even
then they remain abstinent until a
second sound of the bell gives the sig
nal. During the meal there is no in
reference with each others portion
the utmost .propriety is observed, and
as each finishes his repast, he stands
quietly awaiting the bell which an.
nounces that the meal is over, when, in
military style, the fowls proceed in
single file down the ladder to disport
themselves as they please.

Thirty three Whaling Vessels Crushed
In the Ice.

The steamship Moses Taylor arrived
from Honolulu aud Australia, reports
having boarded the water-logged brig
Shelchoff, from San Francisco to Callao,
and found all dead except the captain,
who was saved, though hardly breath-
ing. He also reports terrible disaster
to the arctic whaling fleet, caught in
the ice Thirty three vessels were
crushed or abandoned. The captains
of the whalers Arctic, Gayhcad, Mi

the loss of the whaling fleet:
The vessels commenced arriving,

the lst of June the ice opened aud let
the fleet up within sight of Navarino,
the fleet working northward Found
some whales crossing the sea Of
Anadeer, and in Behring sea more
plenty, but experienced much trouble
from the ice, aud when the fleet arrived
at Cape Behrine and Flower Bay, the
whales had passed through into the
Arctic Ocean, whittier the fleet fol-
lowed, meeting with fair success, until
about the lst of September, when ice

Fifteen women were indicted last
year in Prussia for poisoning their hus>
bands or other relatives. Nine were
convicted, but none of them were exc
cuted. In France, in 1869, twenty
nine married women were tried on sim :
liar charges, and fourteen convicted.
These fourteen were mostly sentenced
to very long terms of imprisonment. In
Sweden, seven were prosecuted IN the
year 1870, for numbering persons by
administering poison to them five OF
them were convicted and sentenced to
the State-rrson for life. The most
atrocious case Of poisoning in Russia,
in the year 1869, was that Of the widow
of a wealthy Russian landed proprietor
near Azow, who was prosecuted for hav-
ing caused, by administering poison to
them, the death Of no less than eleven
persous, mostly relatives of her husband
She was not convicted, but ordered to
leave the country.

There is explosive material in every
husbands disposition, and the wife
knows we'll whore it lies. yet often
persists in dropping spark just in that
very spot, aud yet ailirms that she is
not to blame That very ammunition
might have been defense against for
eign enemies, aud the safeguard of the
home which it has destroyed, had it
been wisely guarded. The wife who
does not give her husband kindly
welcome after his city toll, does not
deserve any of the blessings which that
toll brings her But they viii say,
" The children and the servants worry
our lives out, and our husbands don t
know anything about what We have to
go through. Their work is easy com
pared with that" etc But stop my
dear friends-the troubles Of household
affairs are Of very temporary nature.
Oh, wives ! if you wish your husbands s
intellect to be clear and sound in busi-
ness, keep them free from worry at
home, You have alleviations you
have nurseries and nnrsemads. The
children are out Of doors great part
Of the time, and often sleep during the
day; you arc quite at liberty to inaict
the non>chcrubic punishment upon the
refractory little ones, and to give your
domestics scolding if they really de-
serve 1t, or to dismiss them If they will
not mend; bnt Tor mercy's sake don't
vent your reasonable or unreasonable
irritation upon him who has to bear the
real burden and heat OF the day. Il
you do, you are filing away the chief
corner stone Of your home, and will find
too late that you have been female

Home Life.

One marked difference between ami
mate and inauimate objects is the need of
the former for home. Even the most
minute insects have their homes, the
birds their nests, the beasts their lairs
every animal left to itself, finds home
in which it enjoy happiness. Most of
all is this necessity manifest in the
human race. and the greater the civil
ization, the more tenacious is this
clinging to home, aud the more profuse
are the means brought to bear to per-
feet ITS arrangements. The wandering
Arab may content himself by pitching
his tent from time to time but the
civilized man longs for some permanent
spot, however humble, sacredly guarded
from the outer world, where he may
gather his family around him and eu>
Joy the blessings of home life.
When the young are suddenly re-
moved from the restraints and iDfiu-
euces of their early homes, and are no
longer under the eye of those they have
been accustomed to respect, then comes
their chief time of trial aud danger
Travel, with all its advantages of en-
largipg the mind is not without its
risks in the character. Many who are
exemplary at home are reck less and
dissipated abroad While expansion of
mind is gained, the powers of concen>
tration are often impaired and though
useful as an exceptional reireshment
and inyigoration, a life of constant
travel would be no more beneficial to
the soul than the substitution of tonics
for food would be for the body. The
effects of hotel life are equally injuri-
GUS and all experience proves that the
true family resting place, the home,
where parents aud children blend in
loving unison, is indispensable to the
well being of society, and the happiness
of the individual.
II this need of home be so inherent
In our natures, and so important to our
welfare, it becomes the duty of all to
see to it that they contribute their
share to it's establishment and perpetu>
alton. This obligation, in some of its
many forms, rests upon everyone The
father who mainta aims the household,
the mother who directs it, the children
who are its JOY, are all active and re-
sponsible agents in making home the
centre of their truest life, the birth
place of noble aspirations and generous
affections, and the spot to which the
memory of future years will cling most
fondly. These blessings need not be
confined only to those who are near Of
kin. There are many who, from vari.
GUS circumstances, have become tempo
rarily homeless. They have, perhaps,
cut loose from family ties, and have
come to the city to engage in the eager
struggle of life; but they have nc
haven of rest for their moral and social
refreshment--they have no home. Ii
is q noble and worthy deed to vel
come them to some degree of partlclpa-
tion in the pleasures of our own house
holds. Many young person. has been
saved from ruin, and rescued from evil
companions, by the simple welcome oi
friend, to share in the innocent enjoy
ments of the family freside. A home
. Jess life is a desolate and sorroWful thing.

PROSPEROUS TIMES.

The average yield Of wheat in the
Willamette Valley this year is about
thirty bushels to the acre. and the total
yield will be about one third more than
it was last year. The springrsown wheat
has not been as productive as during
some former years.
The present season will be one of un-
usual prosperity for the farmers OF Ore
gon, who have heretofore sold their
wheat for from % to 60 cents per
bushcl, while this year they will aver
age more than s bushel oats that
formerly sold for - cents now sell for
10; wool that IN previous years sold for

80 to 10 cents This advance in the

of soil may be taken from one part of
field which will differ materially from
that taken from another part. The blow
ing down of timber by storms, the ac-
emulation of vegetable matter in low
places, the situation and exposure of the
land, all exert q modifying influence upon
the character of the soil. Were two
chemists required TO make analyses OF
the soil of 3 particular field, and one
should, by chance, get his specimens
from the subsoil exposed to the surface
by blown down tree, and the other
should get his from the spot where the
body of the tree decayed, they would
make quite different reports as to the con-
stituent elements of the soil. And yet both
would be strictly accurate as regards the
elements of the soil which they analysed.
The difficulty arises from the impossi-
bility of getting a specimen of soil that
represents correctly the average quality
of an extended tract of land. Hence,
farmers have learned to distrust, to some
extent the teachings of men of science,

ORCHARD GRASS IN ORCHARDS.

A correspondent from Cumberland City
desires to know if it will be injurious to
fruit trees to SOW Orchard grass cmong
them, and if injurious, why is the grass
called Orchard Grass? All species of
grain and grass is hurtful to orchards.
ANY growth in this latitude that reflects
back the sun upon the trees (Which grass
and grain always do when ripening) will
not only make an orchard unfruitful but
will produce assures in the bark of the
trees. which furnish lurking place for
good many insects, and in the end pro-
duce death to the trees. An orchard may
once in six or eight years be sown in
clover, and turned under, when green,
but should never be put permanently to
grass. If you have apples you cannot
have grass from the same land and Vice
yersa. The nature and constitution of
the soil are incapable of bearing such
burdens.
The reason why this grass is called
orchard Grass, is because it will grow
better in the shade than any other kind.
The trees in an orchard do not materially
interfere with its growth, but its growth
interferes greatly with the fruitfulness of
an orchard.
