The Disinterment of King Charles the
First.

In some remarkable instances, where
the location of the burial-places of
celebrated personcges has been in
dispute, the work of Identification has
been accomplished by the discovery
of what were plainly perceived to be
the remains of the individual in ques-
ton. In other instances the body has
been completely identified by the close
resemblance of the face of the corpse
to extant pictures, busts or coins. The
Identification of the remains of Henry
~. in Canterbury Cathedral, after the
halt, is an example Of the first class of
cases; the Identification of the remains
of Charles l., after 165 years, of the
second class. The remains of Charles
I. were completely identified by the
striking resemblance of the counten.
ance, Notwithstanding its disfigure
ment, to his portrait, and by the fact
that the neck was found smoothly
divided across. We have the following
particulars of the excellent condition,
after 1865 years, of body suddenly de-
prived of Life, elnbalmed and inferred
in lead:
On removing part of the lead coffin
an inner coffin of wood, much decayed,
was exposed, and within this the body,
wrapped in cere-cloth, into the folds of
which an unctuous matter mixed with
resin had been poured to exclude the
air. The coffin was quite full, and on
removing the covering from the face
the skin was found dark and discolored,
the forehead and temples we'll preserv-
ed, the cartilage of the nose gone, the
characteristic pointed beard perfect,
the left ear entire and the left eye open
and full, though it vanished on ex-
posure.
The head was found loose, and was
easily taking out and held to view. It
was heavy, wet with liquid which
gave to writing paper and linen green
ish-red tinge, the textures of the neck
we're solid, and the back part of the
scalp was perfect and of remarkably
fresh appearance. The hair of the head
was of beautiful dark brown, that of
the beard of redder tint. The divid
ed muscles of the neck had retracted
considerably, and the smooth surface
of the divided vertebrm was visible.
In the same vault in which Charles I.
was inferred Henry VIII. had heen
deposited. The leadcn coffin, which
had been inclosed in thick elm case,
appeared to have been beaten in, so as
to leave an opening large enough to ex-
pose mere skeleton of the king, with
some beard upon his chin. The body
of the king had then been inferred 266
years.

PuSSy'S Dream.

A correspondent of Land and Water
tells the following about a cat: She
was very still, and appeared 70 be fast
asleep, when suddenly she sprang into
the middle of the room, where she
fixed her feet on limited spot on the
floor, to which her nose was applied,
and closely grasping something she
held in her claws. This continued for
short time, when the nose was gently
raised, and the visible attention was
directed to the feet, which still contin-
ued their grasp; but after time one
of them was gradually removed and
then the other, at which puss appeared
greatly at loss to imagine whittier
the imaginary object could have gone;
SO as to escape her grasp. She looked
IN various directions along the floor
with foolish face of confusion; and
then again her attention was directed
to the spot on which the feet were first
closely pressed, as if to examine close
~ whether the presumed escape had
been ysinking through the floor; and
when this seemed unsatisfactory, the
disappointed animal, now widely awake.
retired slowly from the spot but she
returned more than once to re-examine
the place, as if she found it impossible
to comprehend how an object she had
so plainly seen and grasped should
have sunk into nothing. Many min
utes elapsed before the cat appeared to
he reconciled to the conviction that
what had been Il dream was not IN
truth u reality.

Dairy Bree6s.The Avr.h,re..

The Ayrshire is the type Of a dairy
animal, and it is very proper that those
who rear them should make the devel-
opment OF the milking powers their
main object. Let them go as far in
this direction as they can, SO that we
may see what sort of animal will
emerge from the continued cultivation
Of this special object. The origin of
the Ayrshire breed is not exactly
known. It seems to have arisen by a
process of selection made with a view
to the production of milk and hardness
of constitution, without much regard
to anything else. Very likely there
has been q mixture of various elements.
for We learn that there were importa-
tions of Durham cattle by the Earl of
Marchmont in 1850. OF Dutch COWS
by Mr.: Dunlop, of Dunlop, about the
year l76O. There has probably also
been an infusion of the Attorney, or
breed of the Channel Islands, for
Qualye, who wrote the Agricultural
Survey Of Jersey, stated that the Ayr
shire was a cross between the Short
Horns and the Alderney; while Colonel
le Contour informs us that General
Andrew Gordon. then Governor
OF Jersey, about the end of the
last century, sent some of the best cat
tie to Scotland. A veterinary book.
published at Glasgow in 1854, likewise
states that the Dunlop COWS, which
were considered the best mixers, had
been produced by crossing the native
cows with bulls brought from the Is
land Of Alderney. The general re-
semblance of the Ayrshire and Alder
ney cattle has been noticed by Prof.
Low and Colonel le Contour. Youatt.
however, seems to think that the AYR
shire breed has originated from cross
of the Holderness with the Highlander,
the former giving the milk properties
and the latter the hardness of consti-
tuition and small size. The prevailing
color of the Ayrshires is red and white
in various mixtures; sometimes they are
wholly red, but believe never wholly
white, which is rather curious, for in
the Short-Horn, which is also red and
white in all proportions, pure white
animals are constantly occurring, as if
there were an innate tendency to that
color.

The Alden trait Preserving Process,


A Committee from the American ILL.,
stitute Farmers Club recently visited
an establishment in New Jersey where
the Alden Fruit Preserving Process is
made use OF on large scale, and made
q very eulogistic report. It is proper
to say that on the Committee were men
in whose good judgement we have con-
fidence. The Committee close as fol-
lows:
To sum up, the advantages of the
Alden process of preparing fruit so as
to keep in any climate and oil seasons.
are: First, the fruit retains its natur.

the fruit cannot change color, because

belief that it viii seriously interfere

the stock holders, who believed that
the introduction of railroads would
destroy the demand for horses and
mules, and the insurrection among
the needIe-women, who positively

you will always respect your future
mother.
John, with a quiet smile, assured
him that he was pleased with his
choice. This pleased the general
nightly, for he had been a little
afraid John would object to a step
mother younger than himself
The next morning the general or
dered Powhattan brought out and
led over to Mrs. Fauntleroy's. Call
ing John, he requested him to call
upon Mrs. Fauntleroy.
The Wing party has disgraced
itself IN Mr.. Clay's district, sir, and
[ am compelled to part with the
finest blooded horse in the State to
pay my wager with that lady, sir.
The black boy had led Powhattan
to the hitching rail in front of Mrs.
Fauntleroy's yard, and, having tied
him, had gone into the quarters to
tell his brothers and sisters of their
mistress's great good luck in having
won the famous horse Powhattan.
When General Peyton and John
arrived, they found the pretty widow
and two young lady friends in the
yard admiring Powhattan.
The ladies were in high glee, and
after the usual salutations, the gen
tlemen were invited to take seats on
the porch, which they did.
Madam" said the general to
Mrs. Fauntleroy, "I have come
here, like a true Kentucky gentle
man, to pay the wager I have lost.
Powhattan, madam, is rightfully
yours"
"But, general said she, 81 be-
Iieve the wager was conditional. It
was the horse or anything else on
the place, was it not ?"
Madam" he replied, "you are
correct. But there is nothing on
my place one half in value of Pow
haitian. I cannot permit you to Sc
lect an inferior animal"
The pretty widow blushed to the
tips of her fingers when she said:
" You have another and superior
animal here-yOur son John; if he
would but use his tongue, [ think I
shall choose him"
There was a moment of dead ST.
Hence, then laugh, in which the
general did not join.
He rose, and in the blandest man
ner, bade the ladies good night.
To John he said: "Sir, you will re-
main"
And that was the way John Pey-
ton came to marry the pretty widow
Fauntleroy.
General Peyton never forgaVe his
pretty daughter-in-law her practical
joke. In after years he used to say:
81 Sir, she is the finest lady in the
Blue Grass district, but she lacks
taste"

Curing Pork.

Some thirty years ago 1 lodged
from Saturday to Monday with an
inn-keeper in the country, who was
also farmer. On the table for Sun
day dinner there was q nice piece of
picked pork, boiled the day before.
On tasting it [ thought it the most
delicious I ever ate. I requested
"mine host" to give his recipe for
curing pork. He replied as follows:
GAS soon as my hogs are dressed
and cool enough to be cut, [ pack
the side pieces IN barrel or cask,
with plenty of salt on all sides of
each piece, and when my barrel is
full I Immediately roll it to my
pump and pump in water until I can
see the water cease to sink III the
vessel or to moisten thu salt on top
of the cask. 1 then lay fat stone
as large as the vessel will admit on
the contents, SO as to keep the pork
always under the salt or pickle. I
put it in my cellar, covered so as to
exclude the flies, and there it re-
mains until a piece is wanted. Care
must be taken to keep the meat
under the pickle, otherwise it will
rust.
Here is the whole secret of max
ing good picked pork for family use.
We have used the above method, and
we want no better, easier, or more
economical plan. 1t has often hap
pened that when we wanted to put
down new pork there remained some
of the old pork in the bottom of the
cask. In that case we poured of
this pickle, took the undissolved
salt, packed the fresh pork on top of
the old, using the salt which had
been in the cask, with the addition
of fresh salt if necessary, and then
poured on the old pickle or water.
In this way we have had pork three
or four years in the bottom of our
pork barrel, and when used it was as
free from rancidity as it was three
weeks after it was put down. In
deed, we seldom omptied our pork
barrel, except when it wanted hoop
ing. We believe that boiling pickle
is useless, if not injurious. Pork
ought not, if it can be prevented, to
be frozen before it is put down.
The best pork that we ever saw
was that from some pigs under the
charge of lad, who took as much
care of them as some people do of
their children. Every day he used
to give them a dinner of hot pota-
toes, for he said that he didn't see
why his pigs Shouldn't have their
'taters hot as well as himself. " Then
he used to scrub them several times
a week with brush and soap, rinsing
them well with clear water. The
animals seemed to enjoy their lava
ton, and used to press quite eager
" toward him as he came in sight
with his pail and scrubbing-brush
Their sty was also kept perfectly
clean, and their troughs washed out
frequently. In consequence the
pork was perfection.
As a general thing it is a good
plan to reject pork made from hogs
that have been kept by distiners OF
butchers; but, if possible, get porl

Egyptian Brick.

A German savan recently subject
ed a brick taken from the Pyramid
of Dashour to the microscope, and,
it is said, discovered many interest
ing particulars connected with the
life of the ancient Egyptians. The
brick itself is made of the mud Of
Mite, chopped straw, and sand, thus
confning what the Bible and Hero
dotus have handed down to us as to
the Egyptian method of brick-mak-
inc. Besides these materials, the
microscope has brought other things
to light, among them the debris of
river shells, of fish and insects, seeds
of wild and cultivated flowers, corn
and barley. the field pea, the COM
mon fax, and the radish, together
many others known to science. The
irrepressible savan is indefatigable,
and it is thought he viii yet find
some means of extracting the seeds
from the bricks, and after planting
them treat his countrymen to pea
soup and radishes from the py-
ramidsi
