Last autumn persons who wished to observe
"the propreties" inquired ofus whetherit was
according to good usage to gnaw the corn
from the cob, or if it should be cut into the
plate. Generally, though not always, mat
ters OF table etiqnette are founded in common
sense. A bird can only be- properly enjoy ed

use use Vi nngefs IN removing the flesh from the
vohes o' oird, while one who should take
,no oohe OF beefsteak or muttOn-chop in
NE MS nhSers would he looked upon as iIl-bred.
Ihe only way to get the full satisfaction out
Oh green corn Is TO snaw 1t from the cob, and
though the operation, especially to a foreign
er VINO knows not corn, is not an elegant one
to witness, Is it performed at the best-ordered
tables so generally it is conceded that corn
should be eaten from the cob that silver
smiths now make silver green corn handles ::
these are thrust into the large end of the cob
and allow ii to be held without soiling the An
gers. 1t is rather an awkward matter to cut
the corn from the ear at the table, especially
il the knives are not sharp. If it is to be eat
en- in this way, it should be prepared before it
IS sent to the table. The operation of eating
from the cob is much facilitated by drawing
sharp knife lengthwse OF each row, in such
manner that the hull of each kernel will be
split When this is done, the digestible nutri-
uous contents of the kernels will slip out, aud
the often tough hull left upon the cob.

BoRAx FOR EXTERMINATING Cock

tions of borax recently made, one of The latest
is in the determination of cockroaches, which
purpose il is said to answer perfectly
although we are inclined to doubt it. Half a
pound, finely pulverzed and scattered about
where these dlsa9reeable pests frequent, will,
1t is said, clear an infested house so thorough
ly that the appearance of one in a month is
quite novelty. 1t is not known upon what
peculiar influence OF the borax this depends;
but we are assured that the facts are as stat
ed. One advantage OF this application IS the
harmless nature of the borax, SO that there is
no danger to the household from its being ex
posed. The use Of borax, in Europe, Tor
washing, is we'll known, the addition OF u
tarSo nanurui OF Dorax, instead of soda, to ten
gallons of water, beng sufficient 10 save half
The quantity of soap ordinarily required. For
light fabrics and cambrics moderate quanti-
ty is to be used; but for crinolines, which re-
auire to be made stiff, a strengthened solution
is necessary. Being a neutral salt, it does not
affect the texture OF linen in the slightest de-
gree; and as it softens the hardest water, it is
much used in washing generally. 1t is also
said to be unsurpassed for cleaning the hair.

But for the presence Of two capable officers
of our Navy-Lieutenant Commander Schou
Ter and Lieutenant Schetky--on board the
steamer City of Houston, that vessel would
have gone down at sea with all her passengers
and crew. Commanded by drunken Cap
tain Zone Partridge), the steamer was rapidly
drifting toward the reefs on the Florida coast,
when the prompt measures taken by Schouler
and Schetky saved her from that danger.
Then she was beaten about by furious hur-
ricane and heavy seas, and for three days all
on board were in imminent peril. The
good seamenship and invineible pluck
of the naval officers, however, sa-
we'd ship, cargo, and human life
and the incompetent drunkard who had been
entrusted with the command, reappeared on
deck after the steamer had been moored in
the port of Fernandina. Partridge will lose
his place, of course, but no further punish
ment can be expected; we are mercIful peo-
pie iii this country, and so Partridge will go
free. Let us hope that he will never be per-
mitted to command another vessel. The
brave officers, through whose courage and
skill the City Of Houston aud her ass engers
have been presered, deserve to be rewarded
by promotion in rank, or by some ether tangi-
bic token OF appreciation. 1t would grace
full and proper recognition OF their services Tor
the Secretary of the Navy or the President to
advance them a grade or two in the profess
on which they have honored by their brave
ry.
Lieutenant Commander John Schouler was
born in Massachusetts, entered the Navy in
| September, 1861, and has been actively en-
| ployed on sea or shore duty since that time.
In 1869 he held the rank Of Lieutenant; in
March OF this year, promoted to Lieutenant
Commandershlp, he was assigned to ordnance
| duty at the Charestown Navy YARD; and on
the 18th instant he took passage Oh board the
City OF Houston to proceed to Key West.
Lieutenant Charles A. Schetky was on
board the City Of Houston in command of a
draft of ffty-Dine sailors, sent from the re-
ceiving ship at Brooklyn to Key West.
These two officers, fortunately having at
command sufficient force OF good seamen,
and being themselves clear-headed and capa-
Bile, worked together nobly, and performed
heroic acts. Let them not tail of their re-

Bernard, listening to bpth sides, did
not know: how to decide, when suddenly
he recollected the lawyers paper. ''Stop

Mon here; it is from o famous man, and

as with ray of light. "Come, get the

Still his wife tried to mako objections,
but he declared that people did not buy
an ''opinion" for three francs for no.
thing, and they must follow the lawyers
advice. He himself set the example at
the head Of his laborers. and worked
until oil the hay was got in. The event
seemed sent on purpose to prove the
wisdom of his conduct, for the weather
changed during the night, sudden
storm burst over the village, and the
next day at dawn they perceived the
river overfowing the meadows and car
rying off the new ont hay. The har-
vests of all the neighboring farmers were
completely destroyed. Bernard alone
lost nothing. This first experience gave
him such faith in thu lawyers opinion
that from that day he took it for the
rule of his conduct. and became, thanks
to his regularity and diligence, one of
the richest farmers of the country. He
never forgot, either, the service Nj. Ger
mondaie had rendered him. but carried
him every year, from gratitude, couple
of his fattest fowls, and was accustomed
to say to his neighbors, whenever they
spoke Of lawyers, that 'after the laws of
