Fresh Grapes at all Seasons.

The Stockton (Del.) Republican says
" We once knew gentleman who sup
piled his table with fresh grapes from
one season to another. His plan was to
gather. when quite ripe, the largest and
finest lunches of grapes, and pack
them in ,aw.dust, using in place of
boxes common nail kegs, which he pur
chased for trtle at hardware stores.
AEer carefully packing the desired
number OF kegs, he buried the lot in a
trench dug in high ground beneath a
.hed where the water could neither fall
nor soak in. Before using the sawdust,
he carefully dried it, either in the sun
or in an oven, until it was entirely free
from moisture We never witnessed
the packing process, but we know he
always had the grapes, and in this way
he told us he preserved them. After
being buried Tor months the grapes were
as sweet and finely favored as if just
catered from the vines. The process is
cheap and may easily be tested. 1t will
preserve the grapes anew, and profit
able business may be built up. Bunches
of fresh ripe grapes in the spring would
be novelty, and beng that would COM
mand high price. We hope that some
of our grape growers will try the expert
ment

An Awful ShiDWreck.

Ilarbor Grace Nova SCOTIA papers
contain details of fearful disaster
which occurred at Labrador on the til
of March last. The brig Euntsman,
Captain Robert Dawes, sailed for Har-
Dor Grace with crew of sixty-two men
on sailing voyage. When off Cape
Charles, Labrador, on Saturday, April
20, in company with the Rescue, Vesta
and Lord Clyde, and near Battle Ha
Dor, the Huntsman forced ahead, a gale
from the northeast suddenly sprung up,
and she was driven upon the rocks.
The night was pitch dark, and before
the vessel struck three seaman saw the
rocks and jumped overheard to try and
save themselves, but were instantly kill
ed by rush of floating ice. The re-
naming tifty-nine took to the rigging,
and in five minutes afterwards, both
masts went over, and only seventeen of
the crew escaped. Of these seventeen
all but three were variously hurt by hav-
ing arms and legs broken and bodies
bruised. They managed to reach the
Rescue by crawling over the ice, dis
lance of half mile. Fortyfve men
were lost, most of them leaving families
at or near Harbor Grace. The other
vessels escaped with but little damage.

They don't set up mites busting, and

They don't waste emmy time in the

The woRKINGMEN, in various parts of
the country, appear to be in earnest
about the establishment of the eight
hour rule, and are settling the matter
by stopping work until their employers
shall see fit to give them full days
wages for eight hours labor In New
York City the carpenters and painters
have been generally successful in their
late strike for the eight-hour rule. At
present writing, the stair-builders and
cabinet makers are on strike with the
same object in view the plumbers and
bricklayers threaten similar action, and
the shoemakers are said to be ready to
" strike till the last armed foe expires"
Thus by actual experiment this question
of "A working day of eight hours is likely
to be solved. A great deal has been said
for and against the theory of it, without
much advance towards a settlement of
the question. Now we shall see how the
reform will work in practice.-Hearh

HENRY WARD BEEcHER says an illus
tration is never to be mere ornament
to a sermon, although its being orna.
mental is no objection to it. If a
mans sermon is like a boiled ham, and
the illustrations are like cloves stuck in
it afterwards to make it look better, or
like a bit of celery or other garnish laid
around on the edge for the mere delec-
tation Of the eye, it is contemplate.
But if you have real good use for one
that has real and direct relation to
the end you are seeking, then it may be
ornamental, and no fault should be
found with it for that.

A FEW days ago Il man in Washington
county, Kentucky, named Lowell,
placed "a pistol in the hand of his little
son, OF about ! years, and ordered him
to shoot his stepdaughter, who is an
idiot, and had been much trouble to
care for and attend. The boy shot at
and missed his idiot sister, but struck
another sister, intlicting mortal wound.
There is great excitement in the neigh
borhood against Lowell, who made his
escape.
A STEER broke loose in Pittsburg,
about noon the other day, and in his
mad career upset several of the worthy
Pittsburghers. The upsetting was as
much the result of the prevailing dark.
ness as anything else, the steer being a
stranger, and unaccustomed to the pc.
culiarities of the place.
