A Noble Sacrifice.

Among the first who fastened
to tho relief of the Shreveport
Sufferers was a beautiful young
lady Of Philadelphia, who was
willing to brave even the terror
of death to give aid and comfort
to the helpless victims OF ter
rible scourge. She was Agnes,
the daughter of a United States
naval officer deceased, and was
adopted by S. and Agnes Arnold
of Philadelphia, when scarcely
three years old. AT Shreveport
her noble energy and devotion
gained tor her the title of Angel
Agnc', o.: Q night Nhle walking
with a sick child in her arms,
she fell down a stairway and
fractured her spine, and died in
great agony. Only few days
previous her intended husband
who had folio wed her to Shire, e.
port, died with the fever. Both
bodies will be brought to Phila-
dclphia for burial. -.4.r

Anecdotes Of LaldSeer.

more anecdotes of Landseer. In
one Of the artists early visits to
Scotland he stopped at village
and took d great deal Of notice Of
the dogs, jotting down rapid
sketches of them on q bit OF pa
per. Next day, rcsuming bis
journey, he was horrifed to find
dogs suspended in all directions
from the trees, or drowning in the
rivers, with stones around their
necks. Lie stopped a weeping un.
chin who was hurrying of' with a
pet pup in his arms, and learned
to lis dismay, that lie was sup
posed to be an excise officer who
was taking notes of all the dogs
he saw in order to prosecute the
owners for unpaid taxes; SO the
people were all anxious to get rid
Of their dogs. Another time he
went to Portugal, and the King
sent for bim to express his ad-
miration. "Ah, Sir Edwin" said
the King, 81 am SO glad to see
you; I'm so fond OF beasts"

LeaChed Wood Ashes.

following in regard to the value
Of soap ashes: "My opinion Of
soapcrs' ashes is confined TO the
application Of it as top dressing
on pasture land. About twelve
years ago l agreed with soap
boiler for 1900 tons Of soapers'
ashes. l used to apply about
twenty wagon loads per acre, and
a single bushing would let the
whole in. | was laughed at and
abused for my folly; the wise ones
alleging that my land would be
burnt up for years and | applied
my soapers' ashes every day in
the year, .reeking from the vat,
without any mixture whatever. l
tried six acres mixed up with earth,
Lut | found it only doing things
by halves. My land never burn
ed, but from the time of the sp.
plication became a dark green
color, bordering on black, and has
given me more, out never less,
than two tons per acre since.

PRESERVED fruits often either
ferment, mould or candy, unless
they are placed in air tight cans,
and these are not always within
reach of the housewife. Now
these three effects are produced
by three separate causes they
ferment because they were not
boiled enough; they mould from
being kept in a damp place; they
candy from being boiled too long.
If papers dipped in whisky or al
cohol are laid directly ever pre-.
serves aud iellies, it will often
prevent them from spelling. Pre-
serves should be kept in u dark

"A CORRESPONDENT of the
Springfield Union writes from
Rio Janerio: A few days ago a
most ridiculous affair happened in
the harbor, An ice ship from Bos-
ton entered the bay, commanded
by Capt, Green in the South
American trade. Fort Santa Cruz,
not recognizing his homo flag,
hailed him, and ordered him to
"heave to-" But the worthy
skipper didn't speak Portuguese,
aud the simple statement of the
name Of the vessel, which he hur-
led at the fort, was not at all salts
factory; so a blank shot was fired
as mild suggestion for him to
stop. But he called for his revol.
yer. and pointing it skyward, fired,
six successive shots. Then solid
shot from the fort skipped across
lis bow, and another better aimed,
passed through his foresail. The
fort and two shore batteries open
ed fire upon him,and several of
his light spars were cut away-But
he held on his course rejoicing,
loading and firing his revolver,
Finally be reached quarantine,
aud canc to anchor just as his
flying j bboom went by the board.
He was then so near the other
shipping that they dared fire on
him no longer, aud the police
boat, the Custom House boat, aud
the health boat, all boarded
him together with the Captain
of the port, who with more
vigor than politeness, wanted
to know "Why hc didn't lleave
to?" "lIeave to!" calculated
the astounded skipper,"w "was that
what you wanted. thought
you was salulin' the American
fag!"
