A DELuGE IN DUNDEE.-The Ca
Bile gives an account of the occur
renee of destructive flood in Scot
land, in the valley Of the Tay, caused
by the sudden rising of the waters of
the Firth and the Tay. The food

swept everything before it, and ex-
tended from Dundee to Perth. Great
damage is reported in Dundee, as vel
as to valuable property between the
two places.

Deecher's Temper.

The Rev, Henry Ward Beecher, hay
ing exhausted all other subjects of dis
course, has come to the conclusion that
" A man never talks as entertainingly
as when he is talking about himself :"
and consequently delights his audience,
especially the younger portion of it, by
retailing "reminiscences of throwing pa
per pellets at his teacher and the con-
sequent fioggings, (which says the
speaker, g / bore like red Indian :"

Northwestern Horticultural Associa.
cIafIOn

The Northwestern Horticultural So
ciety met in the rooms of the State
Historical Society on Friday, to per-
feet a permanent organization. There
was a large attendance, and consider
able enthusiasm maintained. The CON
clusion reached was that in view of the
horticultural wants of the northern
part OF the northwest, now being rapid
~ settled and developed under the
stimulus of the extension of the rail
way system, and in view of the peculiar
wants of this section of the country in
the way of hardy fruits, and trees
adapted to its soil and climate; that
1T would be expedient to go on with
the work, and organize fully.
A constitution and bylaws were
adopted, and officers chosen as follows ::
President-G w. Miner, of Miner,
Farwell county, Ill.
Vice President-1st, 0. S. Wiley, of
Madison, Wis. I'd, l.. K. Scofeld, of
Freeport, ILL.,; Sd, James Mathews, of
Knoxville, Iowa 4th, q. S. Harris, of
La Crescent, MINI.
Recording .Secretary-F.S S. Lawrence,
of GAINESVILLE, Wis.
corresponding OecHeCary-hafk Mill
leE of Des Moines, Iowa.
Treasurer. Woodward, Marengo,
Ill.
Additional Members of the Executive
Board-A. G. futile, Baraboo, Wis. :;
d. b. Wier, Lacon, ILL.,, and Col T. II.
Stevens, of Minneapolis, MINI.
III. II. McAfee was desigated to pre-
pare an address to the people of the
Northwest, setting forth the objects of
the society, and asking for their Coop
Grafton to make it means for the ac-
QUESTION and dissemination of horticul-
tural knowledge.
The Association starts out with re-
spectacle working membership of
prominent hortIculturists. 1t is the
purpose of the organization to hold
joint exhibitions alternately with those
of the American Pathological Society :;
also annual meetings for addresses and
discussions. All persons who desire to
aid the workings of this association can
become members by renting 81 to L.
Woodman, Marenzo, ILL.,, which makes
them members for two years, and en-
titles them to future publications of the
Association.

How to Get Rid of a MGther-in-IaW.

During the recent smallpox excite
ment in indianapolis, an excited indi-
vidual rushed into the telegraph office,
hurriedly wrote despatch and handed
the same to the able and talented clerk.
The messenger bore the startling intel
hgence that the sender's wife was down
with the smallpox, and closed with the
request that his mother-in-law would
"come Immediately" While making
change, the telegraph man said: "My
friend are you not afraid your mother
in-law will take the small-poxl With
out vouchsafing an immediate reply to
the query, the doubtful son in-law re-
marked: "Sir, are you mrrried

Marriage i'm Russia,

A Russian marriage is always q
weighty affair, the ceremony at the
hurch consuming at least two hours a;
but that part being the climax of the
happy event, it is III nowise considered
irksome. Not so, however, with the
preparatory arrangements. The trous-
seau and the collecting of household
goods are affairs of serious moment to
the young ladys family.
Not only garments of every descrip-
ton by the dozen, or so to express it,
by the gross, are required, but all
manner of crockery, silver-ware, and
household furniture in the bargain.
For a young couple, as in this coun-
try, to wait until after their marriage to
furnish the house would never be coun-
tenanced. The bride must bring every
thing with her as nearly as she can.
Among the indispensable articles are ::
The house linen, kitchen utensils,
table services, and piano, and in Or
der to provide these articles parents of
limited means commence from their
girls earliest childhood to lay aside ar
ticles for that purpose, and often long
before any attention whatever has oc-
cured undergarments are made at odd
times and reserved for the hoped-f Tor
event.
Among the wealthy the outfit is ire
mendous, the quantity of clothing, linen,
and tableware being sufficiently large
to last throughout the lady's own life,
and give some of her daughters, when
their turn comes, a comfortable " setting
up"
The husband elect, however, contri-
butes his share in the way of Jewels,
ornaments, etc land not unfrequently, in
the old days of serfdom, with a maid
from his own estate.
After the marriage festivities are over
and the young pair retire to their new
home, the chattels follow in the
numbering wagons peculiar to the coun-
try. Eighteen for the bridegroom and
sixteen for the bride are the earliest
ages at which acouple may be married.
and eighty for a man and sixty for q
woman the latest.
Fourth marriages are not lawful, and
third is considered anything but
proper.
To belong to the Orthodox Church is
almost compulsatOry in Russia, and
consequently every act of a Russians
life is more or less connected with his
religion. Therefore a marriage must
be religious legal to be legal at all.
A second marriage places the parties
under penance of two years, and in
termarrying can only take place under
special permission from the Arch
bishop.
Marriage between kindred, however
distant, even unto so-called g forty
second cousins" is against the law,
and considered by all Russians as an
abomination. Neither may young
person marry a God parent, the latter
coming under the head of g spiritual
relations
Priests marry but once, and although
there is no law forbidding priests
widow marrying a second time, it is by
no means considered 1.-THE thing and
should the lady persist in becoming
engaged, she may be sure of making a
sensation among the clergy, if not in
society generally. Divorces are un-
heard of, and secret marriages, that
are in nine out Of ten cases bigamies,
are null and void, and also but seldom
heard of.

Magnetic Storm.

From the Cleveland Leader of Monday.
A very powerful magnetic storm pre-
vailed during greater portion of yes
terday over the whole United States.
Its effects were first noticed on the tel
egraph lines in this city, about nine
O'Clock in the forenoon. At times it
was with difficulty that any of the cir
cults were worked, and upon some, es-
pecially those running east and west,
no business could be done. Expert
ments were made with a delicate
Prussian galvanometer at the Western
Union office, by G. III. Summers and
Mr.. L. C. Stumm, who have charge of
the operating department, to determine
the strength and duration of these
currents of electricity, and the fire.

their strength at times equal to one

The intervals between each charge was
from a small fraction of a second to
two minutes, while their polarity, some
times once III a minute and again at
the rate of one hundred times per min

out easily. Season twenty pounds of
meat with half pound of salt, three
tablespoonfuls of sage three of pepper
and two of thyme For more or less
meat season accordingly. After season.
ing chop fine, pour the meat IN milk
pans, pack closely, and cover with
paper creased with melted lard, and,
lastly, cover with boards or plates
Hogs head cheese may be eaten cold,
with or without vinegar, or fried as
sausage.
For sausage meat, take all the clip
pings, portion of fat, liver and heart;
chop fine previous to seasoning and
packing. The number of pounds as
advised fer hogs head cheese is a good
precedent as regards seasoning and
packing. The middlings, if very fat,
pay best when the lean parts are con
verted into sausage meat, the fat into
lard, and the skins to increase the bulk
of hogs head cheese. Previous to pack
ing, fry small portion of the meat to
test the seasoning; If not satisfactory,
it can be altered by adding more meat,
or increasing a portion of the season

An Engineers Experience.

According to the Niagara Falls Ga
zette one of the night engineers in the
New York Central yards at Suspension
Bridge experienced two radically differ
ent sensations in very brief period Of
time few nights ago. While running
his engine he observed a man on the
immediate front, but too late to give
the signal of warning before passing
the spot. The ponderous machine was
stopped as soon as possible and the
trembling engineer took the back track
with gloomy forebodings to look up the
corpse His feelings can probably be
better imagined than expressed when
he met the object of his search coming
to meet him with fists doubled up, and
other indications not favorable to the
bodily comfort of the engineer. A
speedily executed right-a-bout-face
movement was made, and the engineer
understanding his wrathful pursuer,
reached his engine and fled vigorously
from the scene.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD,
Care of Wheat.

Care in the selection of seed wheat is
of the very first Importance. Discard
all idea OF mixing ingredients with it
to destroy smut, rust, mildew, or any
thing else for, beyond the mere opera
tion of washing, or the manure they
may furnish, it is questionable whether
they produce any good effect. Smut is
a fungold growth from a diseased grain
Of wheat, which,. by contagion will be
communicated to the mass, but from
which the mass may be purified by
washing with soap anG salt water. Mil
dew is parasitefungus upon the straw,
by which the seed is never affected 9th
erwise than by the destru ction of the
straw, and consequent shrinking of the
tiwhea tin the head. The mid ge Hessian
fly, and weevil, are insects the consider
ation of which should be introduced in :
any discussion on the subject of the cul-
ivation of wheat. The nudge, is small,
winged insect, the larva of which is an
orange-colored maggot, found be-
tween the skin and chatf of the grain of
wheat while it is in its milky state.
The egg is deposited between the chatf
and the kernel, and is so minute as not
to be discoyerable to the naked eye.
The larva extracts the milk and destroys
the gram. The Hessian fly deposits its
egg, which is about the size of the
smallest grain of clover-seed, upon the
blade of wheat, from which it falls in
to the crotch of the plants or upon the
ground if upon the latter it perishes,
and If upon the former 1T is Matched
into a larva resembling d hax-seed. AS
If grows, it lives upon the sap of the
straw, and destroys it at its point of
contract, which is usually in the first
joint, SO that is broken off by the wind
or its own weight The weevil is hard
shelled beetle, which preys upon grain
only after it is matured. The remedy
for smut and mildeW is careful cultiva-
ton, frequent rolling, and selection of
clean, pure, heavy seed. The weevil
may be driven from barns or bins by
any strongly smelling plant, such as
mint or bHrdock.
There are involved in this discussion
two simple principles of agr1culture-
the timely application of manure, and
the proper rotation of crops. 1t may
and probably will be said that clover
will not successfully grow in the South
ern States. With all due respect to the
little experience which Southern farm
crs have had in the use of this grass, /
must insist that such is the character
Of the cloyer-plant, with its deeply
penetrating tap-ToOt, which nature in
tended for the supply of moisture and
nourishment, no other grass will en-
dure more drought. Limeis one of the
largest constituent elemets of clover,
and, if it be applied to the land, clover
will grow almost anywhere, and where
ever it grows the soil is renovated and
enriched by it.

Manly Conduct of u Bride in Missouri
Under the Leap Year Code.
From st. Joseph paper, Feb. 3.
There was a nice little party Wednes-
day night, at the residence of one of the
most respectable families of South ST.
Joseph, and while the festivities We're
progressing, two charming young la
dies, sisters, took pair of young men
by the arm, remarking that as it was
leap year, they proposed to insist en-
their prerogatlves, and desired to at
once be married. A squire was called
for, and one was found in the company,
in the person of our worthy conserva-
tor of the peace, Gus. Saltzman. When
this official presented himself ready for
business, one of the couples forth
with ''backed out, =" but the other stood
their gronud. and the Squire proceed
ed with the ceremony, asking the high
contracting parties several times during
its progress if they were really in earn
est, to which question they gave each
time an affirmative reply. They We're
thereupon pronounced man and wife.
After the party commenced to break
up to go home, the impromptu groom
claimed his bride in all earnestness,
and insisted on taking her home
with him, but she demurred and tried
to treat the whole matter as a joke,
but as the young lady is of full age,
and the marriage appeared to be bona
tide to all the witnesses, they do say
that this young lady is legally and ire.
vocably the young mans wife, and the
best of it is that the parents on both
sides are willing to the match. Theyoung
man belongs to not only a good, but a
wealthy family, and the young lady's
people, though not SO well oft in pc
cuniary point of view, are comfortably
so, however, and are of the highest re-
spectability. How the affair will "pan
out" remains to be seen.
