Cabbage.

To Boil CaJbage.-Wash very thor
oughly in cold water look between the
leaves, where insects and worms are
very often secreted; then put into boil
ing water-some say without salt-we
prefer to add salt when half done boil
quickly till tenders then take out with
skinner, into colander or sieve, and
drain free from all water. Season with
a little butter and pepper.
TO Boil Cbbage t0M Meat.-Select
small, white, firm heads cut in quar-
ters; examine carefully then lay the
quarters an hour in cold sailed water,
to drive out any insects that may have
escaped your observation; Skim all the
fat from the pot, in which the pork or
beef is boiling, and put in another ket-
tie and boil the cabbage in that, as it
gives dlsagreeable taste to meat when
cold.
another Way to Boil Cabbqge.-After
washing and examining the cabbage, put
it into kettle of fast boiling water,
which you have put some salt and a
small bit Of soda. Press it down into
the water then let it boil quickly eight
minutes have on hand another kettle
OF fast boiling water prepared as above,
and transfer the cabbage to that; press
it down into the water, then let it boil
twelve minutes more meanwhile throw
away the first water and prepare more
like the first after the second boiling
remove the cabbage once more to the
last water, and boil ten minutes if the
cabbage is small, twenty if large; then
take it up in colander, lay plate
over, and drain well; dish on toasted
bread that has been dipped in drawn
butter, and pour a little over the cab.

A Talk with Garibaldi.

Professor Lazzarini, editor of the Cor
riere al Sdvdegna, who lately visited Carl
baldi in Caprera, has just published an
account OF his conversations with the
General. Among other things he
says /;
After we had chatted about the polit-
ical and natural position of Italy, Carl
baldi returned to the atfai of DUon
(January II J, and gave me some parti-
culars about the combat, doing justice,
at the same time, to the heroic courage
and firmness of the Prussans. We

pieces of cannon, and yet, in spite of a
terrible fire, the Prussians advanced a

corpses."

it will be long before the French par

selves, whatever happens, for if they
again fail in the task set before them,
they may take sponge and wipe out
the name of Italy from the map of

Feeding Hogs Oh Cooked Wheat.

A farmer of Ohio tried this expert
ment with fifteen hogs, and commune
Gates the results to the Cincinnati Times
as follows: On the 4th of August, 1870,
| put up ID hogs weighing 2,4OO pounds,
and fed them 5! bushels cooked wheat
the first week. On the llth their
weight was 1900 pounds; gain, 200
pounds, or gain of l3B pounds to the
hog, being nearly two pounds a day.
The next week fed them six bush
els of cooked wheat, producing an in
crease of 2l5 pounds, or l4a pounds to
the hog, being a gain of over two
pounds head day.
The third week | fed them ten bush
els of cooked wheat, resulting in a gain
of go pounds, or III pounds head, or
2 1921 a day.
The fourth week | fed them IL
bushels of cooked wheat, the gain be-
ing $40 pounds, or 81 pounds head,
or fraction over three pounds day

The admirable registration system Of
England gives the best opportunities to
study the social questions now exciting
so general interest. The returns of ten
years on the extent of pauperism and
insanity in England have just been pub
lished. 1t appears from these tables
that the number OF paupers in England
and Wales increased from $50, 92l in
1861, to l,032,S00 in 1870. The per-
centage of pauperism increased from
A TO 4.05. The returns show on the
whole a steady increase, although in
1862 the number of paupers were larger
and in 1864 but slightly smaller than in
1870 but this was owing to the cotton
famine. The increase was steady dur
ing the last five years. The paupelism
Of London has shown an increase so
large that it accoucts for more than one
third of that in all England. There
We're in 1851 but 1866 paupers in Lon
don, or "a per cent. of the population.
In 1870 there were l50,S27 or 40 per
cent. The returns Of insanity are much
more alarming. In 1861 there were
1922 lunatic paupers in the asylums Of
England and Wales, being one to every
1903 of the population. At the same
time the lunatic paupers in England
and Wales, of whom 5, 949 were the in
sane poor of London, being one to every
700 for the kingdom. and one to $40 in
London. AS these figures by no means
include all the insane, the prevalence
of mental disease in England is shown
to be frightful.

A Quiet Hour.

The sunlight is past and the dusty air
That filled the day in its prime
OF all the hours there Is none so fair
As the dim white eyen-time.
The wind, that blew like breath OF heat'
Is cooler and fresher now;
OF the winds. there is none so sweet,
Soft evening wind, as thou.
An hour like this is soon forgot.
And never recalled again
The peace and rest we remember not,
Only the JOY and the pain. -.
Were we content with such pleasure as thls'
We might be happy in rest:
But. in the pursuit of more difficult bliss,
We scorn to be easily blest.

Starvation On ShipbOard.

August Pechler, master OF the Ger
man steamer Europa, bound from Ber-
man to this port, was charged before
Commissioner Shields recently with
starving his passengers on the last voy-
age of that vessel. Frederick c. Hen
dorff, the complainant, stated in his
affidavit that, from the first day of the
trip until the arrival OF the steamer
here, the Captain kept the passengers
in a starving condition, and that what
little food he did furnish them was I'M
wholesome. One old man and one young
man were actually starved to death
during the passage. The United States
laws (act of March 3, 1859 provide that
all vessels engaged in carrying passen.
gers shall have on board for each per-
son twenty pounds of good navy bread,
fifteen pounds rice, fifteen pounds of
oatmeal, ten pounds of wheat flour,
fifteen pounds of peas and beans, TWEEN
ty pounds of potatoes, one pint of vine
gar, sixty gallons of fresh water. ten
salted beef, free of bone, all the provi-
sions to be of good quality. 1t is also
required that no less than eleven and.a-
half pounds of food shall be allowed to
each passenger every week, while the
German laws require only four and-a-
hat pounds to be distributed within the
same period. Counsel for Pechler con-
tended that the latter could not be held
amenable, because he belonged to Ger
man vessel and complied with the laws
of his country. The prisoner was held
for examination in $1,000 bail.-New

The SHIPBUILDERs on the Clyde, Dur

On January lst, 1871, there were in pro-

FEARS are expressed in some quarters
that the cholera may be introduced into
the United States in circuitous man
ner. 1t has spread from Russian Poland,
where its ravages were great, to the
Baltic ports, and has even passed the
Russian frontier into Germany. The
British authorities are much alarmed.
and have taken precautions against the
visitation of the dreadful malady. But
cases of the disease have already APP
peared at Hull, among the emigrants
from North Germany en- route for Amer
lea. We hope our authorities will be
on the alert for immigrants who may be
affected by it, and by timely and vigor-
Gus action preclude the possibility of
the spread of the chole ra in this coun-
try. The Russian Government has been
powerless to arrest its progress or keep
the knowledge of its ravages concealed
from the public.

TALK AT HoNE.-Let parents talk
much and talk well at home. A father
who is habitually silent in his own house
may be in man respects wise man, but
times see parents, who are the life of
every company they are in, silent, un-
interesting at home among their chill
dren. If they have not mental activity
sufficient for both, let them first provide
for their own household.
