BORDER PASTIMES.
Cne Hundred Thousand BuHn loes
PcnNed Up by storm.
The Kansas City Times says:

The Kansas City Times says:
On Tuesday morning last party of
our prominent citizens availed them
selves of an invitation extended by
Superintendent G.. II. Nettleton, of the
A. T. Il S. +. r. r., to take Il little
hunting excursion to Fort Dodge, about
three hundred and fifty miles from
this city. The party proceeded via the
Kansas Pacific to Topeka, Kansas,
where they were switched off and start
ed down the Santa Fee Railroad, resch-
ing Fort Dodge the following night.
There they met with the terrific
northwestern storm, which has
swept the country during the
past week. The country around
Fort Dodge was perfectly black
with buffalo. They had run before the
driving storm to the Arkansas river,
which being frozen over and very slip
perry they refused to cross. The herds
accumulated by thousands until every
bond by the river became gorged with
the black moving mass of butialoes,
The Kansas City party shot between
thirty and forty without leaving Fort
Dodge They report more fun and
more game than they could attend to.
On Wednesday night the people at
Fort Dodge had a dance, at which three
men were shot and thrown out into the
frost. One of these men was brought
to this city last night to be forwarded
to his friends IN New Orleans. They
make no trouble about killing few
men at Fort Dodge. 1t is mere pastime
at n dancehouse fandango.

The Old Mans Funeral.

| saw an aged man upon his bier,
His hair was thin and white, and on his brow
A record of the cares OF many year
Cares that were ended and forgotten now.
And there was sadness round, and faces bowed,
aloud.
Then ros, another hoary man and said,
In faltering accents to that weeping train,
"Why mourn yo that our aged friend is dead2
Ye are not sad TO see the gathered grain,
Nor when the mellow fruit the orchard casts,
Nor when the yellow woods shake down the
Iipened mast.
Ye sigh not when the sun, his course fulfilled,
His glorious course rejoicing earth and sky,
In the soft evenings when the winds are slilled,
Sinks where his islands of refreshment lie,
And leaves the smile of his departure spread
Der the warmcoored heaven and rudy
mountan-head.
Why weep We, then, for him. who, having won
The bounds of mans appointed years at last,
Iifos blessings all enjoyed, life'S labors done,
Scrcnely to his final rest has passed;
While the soft memory OF his virtues yet
fingers like twilight hses when the bright sun
is sot2
His youth was innocent, his ripper age
Marked with some act of goodness every day;
And watched by eyes that loved him, calm and
sage
Faded his declining years away.
Cheerful he gave his being up and went
To share the holy rest that waits life well
spent.
That life wa, happy every day he gave
Thanks for the fair existence that was his
For sick fancy made him not her slave,
To mock him with her phantom miscrios.
No chronic torturcs racied his aged limb,
For luxury and sloth had nurtured none for
him.
And I'm glad that he has lived thus long,
And glad that he has gone TO his reward;
Nor deem that kindly nature did him wrong
Softly to dscngage his vital cord
When his weak hand grew palsied, and his eye
Dark with the mists OF age, it was his time to
die

FRUIT TTEEs.-To make fruit trees bear
largely for many years in succession the soil
under them should be powed summer
aud fall, and MANFRED every year; it is said
THAT the best manure are bushes and
twigs; these should be gathered in heap
every autumn, mixing Herewith some
barnyard manure, dampensd occasionally
to keep the leaves from getting dry and
being blower away; than spread out in the
early spring; in addition, bushel of lime
mixed well with two or three bushels of
wood ashes, spread under each once year,
would add greatly to their frui,fuluess.
The reason fruit trees die in few years, or
begin to bear less fruit and of an inferior
quality, is because the trees, not being
MANFRED, exhaust the quality of the soil
about them, necessary for their susten-

How TO Mix Observation-Disclosures
should be mixed with water that has been
boiled aud allowed to cool; hot water de-
staoys its essential propertes. and, law
cold water might cause it to terment. Put
the mustard in cup, with a pinch of salt
and mix with it very gradually sufficient
boiled water to make it drop from the
spoon without being watery. Stir and
mix we'll and rub the Jumps we'll down
with the back of spoon, as mustard
properly mixed should be perfectly free
from these. The mustard pot should not
be more than half full, or rather less, if it
will not be used for day or two, as the
mustard is SO much better when fresh
made.

q new method of washing. wh.th Las been
extensively adopted in Germany, and in-
troduced into Belgium. The operation
consists in dissolving two pounds Of soa?
in about three gallons Of water as hot as
the hand can bear, ami adding to this one
tablespoonful of turrent;nc aud ,h.ee o.:

be- we'll stirred, and the linen >iscped in

usual way. The soap and water may be
reheated, and used second ;snH. but IN
tia, case half tablespoonful ot turpentlne
and tables pooniul of ammnuia mus, be
added. The process is said to cause a
great economy o! time, labor. aud fuel.
The linen scarcely suffers at al Us there
is little necessity for rubbing, and lis
cleanliness and color are perfect. The am
monia aud turpeniine, although their de-
ter>iye action is great, have no injurious
effect upon the linen; and While the
former evaporates imme lately, the smell!
Of the latter is said to disappear intircly
during the drying of the clothes.

WORTH KNOWING. A pound Of green
copperss costing seven cents, dissolved
10 one quart Of water, and poured down
into the water closet, will eiFectually con-
centrate aud distroy the ioulest smells.
On board the ships and steamboats,, about
hotels and other public places, there is
nothing SO nice to purify the air. Simple
green copreras, Dissolved under the bed in
anything that will hold water, will render
a hospital, or other place for the sick, free
from unpleasant smells. For butchers
stalls, fish-lnarkets, slaughter houses, sinks,
and wherever there are offensive putrid
gases, dissolve copperas and sprinkle, it a
about, and in few days the smell will
pass a way. If cat, rat, or mouse dies
about the house and sends forth an Of
fcnsive gas, place some dissolved copperas
in an open vessel near the place where the
nuisance is, and it will soon purify the at
mosphere.
