A Smart Female Smuggler.

The Custom House detectives are
searching for dashing beauty who
was sent to New York few days since
from Buffalo, there having been con.
victed of smuggling across the Niagara
frontier. She was sentenced TO eight
months in the Albany Penitentiary.
The court surrendered her TO a Deputy
Marshal, and she started for Albany.
She was accompanied 10y gentleman
with a plethoric wallet, and the trip was
glorious. Arriving in Albany after mid
night, the party went TO a hotel, and
champagne was ordered. When the
Marshal awoke after sunrise he was
alone, and felt that his champagne had
been drugged.

4 Reminiscence OF Keats.

A Rome correspondence of the London
telegraph writes
The house in which poor Keats
died is No. 20 in the Pi22z. di Spagna,
and stands Immediately 10 your night
hand Is you ascend the famous steps of
the Trinta di Mont. Now, the CORES
that every English visitor to Rome
should subscribe half franc toward
purchasing marble tablet TO be let in
to the front of the house; but / think
that there are many admirers of Keats
who would willingly subscribe their
mite, in order to mark by some endur-
ing memorial the abode where death
fed on the mute voice Of the singer of
Adonais. Apropos of Keats, let me re-
peat little anecdote which was told
me of him, the other day, by Mr.. Severn,
the late much respected Consul here,
in whose arms the poet died. Like or
binary mortals, even poets must cat !;
and Keats was intensely Disguised at
the horrid food each day put before
him. The dinner was always sent in
from a neighboring 'trattoria.' Day by
day it grew worse and worse, until the
patience of the poet was quite ex-
hausted. He would willingly have
abused the landlord, but there were
difficulties in the way, so at last he hit
on the following expedient. one day,
when Mr.. Severn was TO dine with him,
and the dinner was brought in as usual,
Keats deliberately took up one dish
after the other and emptied them ali
out of the open window into the Piazza
di Spagna. This eloquent silence had
the desired effect, and from that day
forward the dinners 1Nnrn excellent

AnecdOte Of Horace Il. Claflin.

Horace b. Claflin, prominent men,
Der Of the bald headed club, is as quaint
and humorous as he is keen-witted and
rich. They tell the following good story
about him. On the 18th of February,
about 5 o'clock, Clafiin was sittin alone
IN his private Office, when young man,
pale and careworn, timidly knocked and
entered. "Mr. Clafin, said he, - ana

meet certain payments, because certain
parties have not done as they agreed by
me, and would like to have $4,000.

Farm and Garden.

The American Agriculhrist for April
gives the following hints for farm work
the present month:
Start the PloloS the moment the ground
is dry enough, but not before; and
where it can be done, harrow and SOW
a fast as you pillow. Do not wait to
finish the field We know there is some
loss of time in changing work so often,
but ii is nothing compared with the
extra time and labor required to pre-
pare plowed land that has been exposed
TO heavy rains, and then had TO lie for
several days until the surface was
crusted over before il was dry enough
to harrow Our springs are so short,
and the weather so uncertain, that our
rule should be never TO leave the field
until all the land that has been plowed
is narrowed and sown.
Pigs.-Last falls pigs should have a
liberal allowance Of corn-mesl and
mangolds, to keep them growing rapid
ly till they can get clover. Breeding
sows should be kept in good thriving
condition. Succulent food, and bran or
fine middlings. are better than corn. 1t
is desirable 10 keep the bowels some
what relaxel I. Daily exercise is very
desirable. The young pigs should be
taught to eat from a small trough, sep
arate from the SOW, as early as possible,
or at any rate when three weeks old.
. Rainy Days are usually numerous this
month, and there is also abundance OF
work to be done indoors, such as oiling
harness, picking over potatoes, painting
implements, machines, wagons, etc.
Clean out the CeHar.-As health is the
greatest of earthly blessings, cleaning
the cellar from all decaying vegetables
and other impurities is the most inn
portant work to be done in the spring.
Give not sleep to your eyelids until 1t IS
done.
Pick Up the old Hron-There has been
a great advance in the price of iron, and
it is a good time to dispose Of all the
pillow points, horse-shoes, etc.
Make the Whole Premises Clean.-We
have "house-cleaning" every spring
let us have stable, barn, and barr-yard
cleaning also. Leave not a particle OF
manure scattered about the yards.
Either apply it to the land at once, OF
pile il in heap.
Horses, after their winters rest, should
be worked only moderately at first
Look to their shoulders, and wash them
frequently with cold water. Poor
fitting collars are the chief source oil
gals.
Working Cren should be well carded
every day, and be literally fed. They
have a much larger stomach than 9
horse, and do not need as concentrated
food, but they require more time TO eat
Cut the hay into chatf, moisten it, and
mix little corn meal with it-say one
quart of meal to a bushel of chail
Horses may have two quarts land al
noon three QUARTS OF meal to bushel
Coaos need much care and extra feeC
this month. They are longing for greer
grass, and he is a fortunate farmer whC
has plenty of mangolds for them. Blu
bran and good hay, with good cardint
every day, to keep open the pores, vii
keep milch-cow in good condition, anc
prepare her for giving large mess o
milk when grass comes.

Comfort for Tea Drinkers.

In the life of most person. period
arrives when the stomach no longer di-
gests enough Of the ordinary elements
Of food 10 make up for natural daily
waite of the bodily sustenance. The
size and weight Of the body begin to
diminish more or less perceptibly. At
this time tea come. in as a medicine to
arrest the waste and to keep the body
from falling away so fast, and thus
enable. the less energetic powers Of di.
sestion still to supply az much as is
needed TO repair the we.r and tear Of
the solid tissue. No wonder, therefore,
that tea should be the favorite, on one
hand, by the poor, whose supply Of sub
stantial food is scanty, ana OH the other,
with the aged and infrm, especially of
the feebler sex, whose powers of diges-
ton and whose bodily substance have
already begun to fail. Nor is IT surpris-
iug that the aged female, who has barely
enough of weekly income to buy what
are called the necessaries of life, should
spend a portion of her gains in purchas-
ing her ounce OF tea. She can live quite
as well on less common food when she
takes her tea along with it, while she
feels higher, at the same time more
cheerful and filter for her work, because
OF the indulgence.

need five per cent. more, or say 3,700,000
bales, to feed it this coming season. and it
may fairly be presumed that this quani.'y will
go into consumption at the average o-'ce Of
the last two years, say 9dd., and there. IRE we
do not think crop of even four millions will
be able to reduce the average price below Sd.
to 93d. for middling Orleans, nor do we think
that such price can be reached Till the weight
of it Ia felt in European markets. We regard
63d. to I'd. for tair Dhollerah as the proper
relative price for Surats, with American at Sd.
to 9sd. per To-, for the present unusual depre-
clation will gradually disappear as the season
advances, and therefore we see no reason TO
dread even tour million crop, with the pres-
ent price of Surats.
It may be argued that these are remote con-
sideratlons to Introduce into commercial cir
cular, but it Is necessary to Introduce them
and grapple with them, as they do In reality
exert a great influence over The course of
trade. Our general conclusion is that the
question of cotton supply, when closely ex-
amined, appears more favorable to the mainte
nance oil existing prices than when looked at
in q asuperfcial way; the elements of weakness
have been in great measure discounted,
whereas there are elements Of strength which
are concealed at present, but which may come
Into the foreground as the year advances.
We have rarely known the whole question
to wear 30 perpleXed an appearance, and that
is our apology for discussing It at such length.

A Tediuu US but Harmonious Session.

claiming to be the regular delegation from

ings of the convention were tedious but not
dlsorderly. 1t remained In session until near
ly midnight, but the delay was caused
rather by the Ignorance of the mejority
Of the members upon oil points of par

possible incurslon OF tho Mackeyites, the pre-
caution was taken to keep the iron gates OF
the hall securely boiled, allowing lhe admis=
sion of but one delegate at a time, and each
delegate was required to produce ticket of
membership; but the precautions proved un-
necessary as the Mackeytes proved too busy

POLITICAL NOTES.

body lies but Grant, and he can't lie. How Is
that for hatchels and cherry trees?

of New England and her institutions, but With
out any special reference to politics.
The st. Louis Republican publishes let
ter from Governor Gralz Brown, In which he
alludes TO certain statement made by a New

Official returns determine the election Of
Maglnns, Liberal candidate for delegate 10
Congress from Montana, by fair majority.
The contest has been close and was disturbed
By local Issues, but the result shows that the
voters of Montana, though not directly pGrtici-
paling In the Presidential canvass, largely
sympathize In the Liberal cause.
"A letter was received al Washington from
Horace Greeley, dated Bradford, N. H., Au-

to work to the end, but that end Is certain.
We shall carry New York heavily, with NeW
Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New
Hampshire. That Is our share at The East.
The rest will be done south and west OF MS"
There are dlssenslons among the Grant
Republicans of Iowa, and new enthusiasm In
the Liberal camp. The defeat OF Senator Har'
Ian was substantial blow against the Office
holders party at the outset; from this they
have not yet recovered, and the handful OF
Liberals who began the campaign have be-
come formidable host. The prospects ior
Liberal victory are brst-rate 10 Iowa.
That the notable letters of Senator sumner
and General Banks should cause commotion
in the old Bay State, we must expect. But
these letters reflect, in some particulars, the
increasing Liberal sentiment of Massachusetts
people. There Is growing strength of Libe-
ralism in Buffers district, as we'll as new lorce
and lie in the ranks of the party generally and
throughout the State.

The philosopher Of Chappaqua has very
good reputation for getting up In the world,
but, as an Alp expert, it must bs confessed
his light has been hid under his white hat
until now. A correspondent gives the fol-

Mount Kearsarge, New Hampshire, a few days
ago: -

was through wood on The hillside, where

rocks were so smooth Ia some places as TO be.

trlbuted in the hall, and the balloting CON-

SHIDOWS OF THE FRAY.
The Coming Event In PennsyIvanta-
Republican Plans-Thc Election in
North Carolina.
WASHINGTON, August II.

WASHINGTON, August IL.
The administration party 10 Pennsylvania,
as Is learned by advices at hand In Washing
ton, have under consideration plan 10 break
somewhat the effect OF the election of Bucka-
lew, the Democratic candidate for Governor.
Falling 10 conciliate the Republican opponents
of Hartranft, or secure the atters Withdrawal
from the head of the Radical State ticket, they
propose to appeal TO the party 10 unite on the
rest of the ticket, and, If possible, elect that
portion and save the Legislature.
They seem TO be confident that If the Demo-
Gratis elect The Governor and auditor-general,
the Republicans may be able 10 share the rest
of the houors. In other words, IL is proposed
TO reverse for Pennsylvania the political sina-
tion in North Carolina. The adoption of such
a policy-a most extraordinary Que, 1t must be
admittedly Is assumed by those who seek TO
enforce 1t, will save the Republican party in
the former State from decentralization and
give It an opportunity to unite on Grant and
Wilson in November.
Letters have been received here from North
Carolina which state that the frauds In the
recent election there have been so glaring
that even honest Republicans do not deny
them. A legal official count will give herri-
mon the majority by quite TWO Thousand, and
no doubt Is felt that al The proper time the SlI-
preme Court of the State and the Legislature
will install him into office.
