Tho Joint ma Conu,ssso...

Theflrst week Of the deliberations Of this
august body has passed, and there does not
appear to have been much work dons. There
was full and satisfactory amount Of social
discussion, dining and visiting, and otherwise
silver-lining the cloud of more earnest delib-
Grafton before them; but as to any progress in
the direction of,a settlement Of the fishery
question or the Alabama claims, there is as
yet no visible evidence. Our people must be
patient, however. The popular ultimatums of
both sides have been faithfully laid before the
tribunal by the NEW YORK HERALD and the
London Times, and the members understand
what is wanted of them. But there is y good
deal of underbrush to be cleared away

Some apprehensions are still expressed in
Washington, we see relative to the result of
the Commissions deliberations. 1t is,thoughkI
that nothing will be offered on the part Of
England better than the Johnson -Clarendhu
treaty, which left the subject of England's liz
bility for the damages by the Alabama anii
the liability of the United States for damagas
done to English citizens during our war eadh
to arbitration. 1t is not likely, however, that
the English Commissioners win do anything so
useless and so dangerous as to offer us for
ratification treaty which our Senate, sup
ported by the strongy-expressed sentiment Of
the people, rejectsd two years ago by vote
of all but one member. No; we think the
High Commission has its duty and its obliga--
tions plainly marked out, and that there willa
be no further hitch eithef in the deliberations

TIE ST. DOMINGO COMMISSION From
Kingston, Jamaica, March IL, we are informed
that the United States steamers Tennessee and
Nantasket had arrived at that port with the
members Of the st. Domingo Commission on
board, and that the Tennessee in four days
would start for New York via Key West. The
Commissioners respectively were engaged in
making up their reports, and it seems to be
understood that they will make a strong case
in favor of annexation. We presume that the
Commission will return in the Tennessee,
and that in eight or ten days we may look
for her arrival. The two houses of Con-
gress, meantime, seem to be anxious to get
away from Washington; but before they leave
they had better have some understanding with
the President on this St. Domingo Commission
and the Joint High Commission, or before the
summer is out he may find it expedient to call
them together again.

and Russia is again held to her responsibilities

other Powers found that France may again
become the free pivot centre of Europe.

A Missing Man with Remarkable
Career.
From the Newark Advertiser.

MIR. Charles w. Moller, of jersey
City, left his residence on the 18th of
January last, since which time nothing
has been heard of him, and the most
dilgent inquiry and search have failed
to find any trace of his whereabouts or
of his fste Mr. Moller's life has been
an eventful one, full of varied Incl
dents. He was born in Copenhagen,
Denmark, first sailed as cabin boy with
his father, in a vessel of which he was
captain was a1terward educated in
Copenhagen and sailed from London
as carpenter and superintendent IN the
vessel that took emigrants to New South
Wales. This vessel also took the first
frame buildings exported from Eng
land
Mr.. M. was in the East India Squad
ron three years, and sailed around the
world three times. In his last voyage
round the world the vessel was wrecked
on one of the islands in New South
Wales, and three of the crew were kill
ed and eaten by the cannibals; Mr..
Moller, with six of his comrades, es-
capped, after eleven months OF captivity.
In the East India Squadron he was an
officer of rank He was on an English
scientific expedition to the Arctic Re-
gion previous to Sir John FrankIn's
loss. He first came to New York when
the great fire of 80 was raging. After
wards employed as draughtsman and
carpenter in the shipyard of Messrs
Brown and Bell New York City, and
assisted in the construction of the first
clipper that sailed around Cape Horn
to China. Subsequently he lived at
Bergen Point, as house builder, archi-
tect and painter, and some of his mar
inc views, &c, show good ability as an
artist. and being practical sailor, are
remarkable for their accuracy of de-
tail. In 1866 he purchased large farm
in Somerset county, Nd, and removed
to Jersey City in September, and was
making arrangements to patent a new
style of octagonal cottage He had
buried favorite daughter in Maryland,
and this in connection with being re
moved as executor of an estate in which
large amount of property was involv-
ed, may have been the cause of some
m entail arrangement, which led to his
disappearance.

Vandalism.

1t appears by statement in the last
number of the Bulletin Monumental
that the new Project of the Landes. in
France, has consented to the demoli-
ton of large portion of the magniti-
cent Roman walls enclosing the town
of OAK, which for years have been
watched over by the French Archeolo-
gical Society, and by some of the most
eminent men in France aud England.
To representation made from the lat
ter country, the Emperor paid such
prompt attention, that the walls
were commanded to be LETT, untouched.
But the present Mayor, in order, as is
asserted, more etfectually to exercise
ELECTORAL influence favorable to the
Government, has induced the new
Project to consent to this uniustitiable
course.

Purifying Dairy Utensils,

The Country Gentlemen gives the
following method of purifying dairy
utensils:
stand on end in convenient place
for use an open-ended vessel of suitable
dimensions for the size of the dairy,
say from half barrel to hogshead
In thus Stake some good quicklime,
enough to make a thin whitewash when
full OF water, and cover to keep out
dust and dirt. The lime will settle,
leaving a saturated solution of lime
over 1t, as clear as spring water. After
using the milk pans, etc, wash them
as other utensils are washed and rinsed:
then dip them in the adjoining cask of
hmewater, giving them a quick turn.
SC that every part becomes immersed
therein; set them to drain and drv.
and the publication is complete, with
ont any scaldlng process from the new
pan to the old worn out one
Iie lime in the clear water instantly
neutralizes the acidity of the milk vet
remaining III the cracks or seams, etc,
of the milk vessels, to destroy which
the process OF scalding has been per
formed.
In the case OF very small dairy or
of one COW, the clear water may, if pre-
ferred, be dipped out for the time be-
ing and poured gently back again, the
lime purifying the water and keeping
1t good all summer. OF course there
VIII he little waste and evaporation,
which will be made up by adding clean
water as needed, the lime settled in the
bottom of the cask keeping up the
strength Of the saturated solution.

Singular. il True.

The Bridgeport Farmer tells remark
able story in regard to what, not many
years ago, would have been considered
a miracle. 1t says that in the ''old Di-
vision street graveyard y at Bridgeport
there is marble slab marking the grave
of Robert Linus Backus, who died on
the 10th of February, 1884, aged II
years and months. On the reverse of
the stone is stain which represents a
woman grasping club with which she
is in the act of striking; all attempts
to obliterate this stain by scraping are
Intellectual, and eve are told y that this
is the fifth stone which has marked the
spot, the preceding ones having been
removed on account of their inveterate
tendency to represent the same scene.
The legend connected with this singu-
lar circumstance is that the child was
killed by it's mother.

The Most Profitable Fowls

1t is a well-conceded fact that there
is great advantage in improved stock
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs. A thor
ough, progressive farmer aims to secure
and propagate these If we examine
the various reports, we will learn that
poultry is great interest III this coun-
try; and to secure the most profit on
tins species Of farm stock, our farmers
should obtain improved varieties. In
stead of bringing to market long legged,
Small-bodIed chickens, of the shite-
poke model, weighing, say, two pounds,
they should supply our markets with a
stock weighing four or six pounds, and
these should be sold by weight.
The little, lank, scrawny chickens
that many of our farmers have now,
and which furnish eggs about the size
OF pigeon eggs, should give place to
chickens laying eggs weighing twice as
much, and the eggs should soon be rid
OF the degenerate race of fowls and
small eggs now brought to market.
With the same feed and better care.
the farmer might realize more than
double what he now does for his chick
ems, and more for his eggs. Few real

The produce OF ole hen viii pay for

pay for your tea and cotfee-and so on.
And hence no farm should be without

4 New Harvester.


The Madison Journal gives the fol
lowing description of a new harvester
recently perfected and patented by DR..
Rice, of that city:
1.-The Harvester carries two men to
do the binding.
The grain first falls upon compound
cloth rake. This rake is composed OF
two endless aprons, the first apron ten
inches wide Immediately back of the
sickle, runs one-eighth faster than the
back apron thirty-four inches wide.
The elevator is constructed IN the same
way and the grain is thus delivered
squarely upon the binder tables. This
compound rake was successfully tried
last year, and remedies an evil in the
Marsh Harvester, viz, that the heads
of the grain strike before the butts
Especially is this evil troublesome in
short grain.
The tables are provided with high
rim to prevent the grain from scatter
ing while being bound They are so
constructed that they can be coupled
up in passing through gate and I'M
coupled without stopping the team.
The arrangement for raising and
lowering is most commendable fea-
ture of the Harvester.
The dividers are so made as to en-
able the reap or to cut as low as may be
required. The sickle bar is raised and
lowered by lever wheel, and screw in
stead OF spring bolts and Stats COM
monty used.
The elevators are driven by a tiange
chain belt, which we believe superior
to the leather belt, as it is not affected
by weather, nor liable to slip. The
machine is light, well balanced, and has
no side draft
1t is well spoken of by machinists,
especially those posted in harvesting
machines.

To PURIFY WATER A little dissolved
alum is very effective IN clearing muddy
water. If thrown into tub of soap

led by the muddy particles, sinks to
the bottom, leaving the water clear and
pure. In times of scarcity of water,
this may be used second time for

gallon of water add one and half
