Anger and Energy.

A writer in Home and School, for
July, says:
The feeling of anger is not vice if
led in a right direction on the contra
~. it is the foundation of high courage
and energy of character, and where it
is deficient the character is marked by
imbecility and vacillatiOn. We can
not expect children to learn easily to
subdue the irritation Of temper they
feel when anything displeases them {;
but we should begin the discipline in
the cradle, and during infancy and
childhood cultivate diligently the NOR
al and reasoning powers TO oppose Its
undue exercise, for the bablt once
formed of giving way to it will be most
difficult Of subjection in after life
Everything that is liable to excite the
temper should be avoided, and when
once excited, instead OF leaving the
child to cry and wear its passion out,
its attention should be diverted and
its feelings changed. \ lady once
trod inadvertently on the toes of IA lit
tie ciIerub-faced girl the child pur-
sued her like fury, and would not be
appeased till she had stamped ON the
vlsitar's toes In return. From want
of proper caution and correction, in
small instances like this. child fire.
quently begins life with bias in the
temper and disposition not easily to be
remedied. Our great aim should be
not to rouse passion, for when once
aroused passion cannot be suddenly
stopped. but must have a certain sway.
The great desideratum then is to give
it as harmless direction as possible.
Ifa harmless direction can be found, it
is better that child should have its
anger and ill-temper out than that it
should nurse its wrath.

To Destroy Tobacco Worms.

The tobacco worm not only infests
the plant from which its name is de-
rived, but is very destructive to the
potato and tomato plants. The labor of
'worming tobacco" is best known by
those who cultivate the plant, but our
market gardeners and others who grow
the tomato extensively, seldom make
1t business to kill the worms but suf-
fer them to prey upon their plants and
arrive at maturity, and continue to
propagate and multiply their species
ad infinitum. We have somewhere
seen it stated that preparation of co.
bait, poisonous mineral, often used
to destroy house flies, may be employ
ed to kill the large moth or miller,
the parent of the potato or
tobacco worm. One Of these female
insects called horn blowers, will lay
several hundred eggs, each becoming
destructive worm, and the whole of
this army of voracious and repulsive
looking insects may be prevented By
killing the parent. These large mil
lers are seen just in the dusk of the.
evening flying around the sweet seen
ted honeysuckle, the jamestown weed,
and any other large honey producing
blossom, gathering honey just like the
humming bird, which it very much
resembles while on the wing.
The cobalt is prepared as follows
1t should be pulyerized in a mortar
perfectly fine, and three or four oun-
ces of this may be placed in a pint bot
tie, to which should be added mix
ture of honey and water; two or three
drops of the liquid is to be placed in
the freshly opened blossoms of the
jamestown weed, as the most cOnven-
lent. This being repeated occasionally
in the afternoon, during the season of
the moth, every one which partakes
of the substance readily dies. The
jamestown weed attracts the fly by its
large bell-shaped flowers, and is a
plant the worm delights to feed on

Financial Condition Ofthe South.

The enormous balance Of trade
against the South is thus explained by
the New Orleans Picayune The cot
ton crop of the Somth, this season,
was worth fully $500, 100000. The de-
mand has been so strong that despite
the large yield, prices have kept up.
Notwithstanding the remunerative
prices that planters have received, the
financial condition of the South does
not seem to be much better than last
year. Very little money has been
spent in permanent improvements, at
least in the valley of the Mississippi,
and there has not been even an average
outlay for tools, farming implements,
machinery, live stock, etc. The mon
ey has gone, and already the planters
complain that they have nothing left to
buy provisions and breadstuffs for. their
hands. This poverty is due in a great
measure, to the old evil of exclusive
staple culture, which puts the planter
to heavy expenses for articles Of food
and clothing, and burdens him with
enormous charges for transportation,
insurance, wastage, leakag, commits
sions, interest, profits Of middlemen,
etc., on everything he consumes.

Quantrell.

Probably no person during the late
war between the States" gained
more unenviable reputation than the
person whose name heads this article.
Up to the Spring of 1863 Quantrell
and his band made their headquarters
in jackson county, Missouri, and that
district was nearly devastated by the
Red Leg" and Jay Hawkers" of
Kansas, who were stealing themselves
rich in the name nf the Union.
Quantrells death has been publish
ed and republished for years by the
papers throughout the country, and
the fact of his death at the hospital OF
Louisville, KY, in 1865, is generally
accepted as true. Yet we have il from
a responsible gentleman in Texas, who
is widely and fayOrably known through
out Missouri, that less than year
since he saw and converted with Guam
trell at Rusk, Cherokee county, Texas.
Quantrell stated that at one time after
the war he was orderly sergeant" in
the Federal army on the Pacific coast,
and thinking he was recognized, deser-
ted and went to Mexico. He has trav-
elled all over the United States, visit
ing many of the scenes of his bloody
and terrible conflicts. Quantrell is
now in some of the South American
States, and will probably interview the
United States again atan early day

INFANTS.
How they should be Fed during the
Summer Months.
Mothers take Notice.

At recent meeting of the Public
Health Association of this city, a Sc
RES OF resolutions were passed request
ing DIR. A. Jacob TO furnish for the
use OF the association a schedule of
directions concerning infantile diet in
summer, and to present the same at a
future meeting. Last evening, at the
rooms of the Medical Journal Associa-
ton, DR.. Jocobi responded to the res
olution. prefacing his remarks by an
elaborate address on the physiology of
infant digestion and food. The fol-
lowing is the schedule:
Over-feeding does more harm than
anythin else; nurse a baby of a month
or two old every two or three hours;
nurse baby of six months aud over
five times in twenty four hoans and no
more.
When a baby gets thirsty in the
meantime, give it drink of water. In
very hot weather, mix teaspOOnful of
whiskey with tumbler full Of water
(no sugar)
Boil teaspoonful of powdered bar
ley grind it in the coffee -grinder) ard
a gill of water with salt for-fifteen min
utes. Strain it and mix it with half
as much boiled milk and piece of
loaf-sugar. Give lukewarm, through
nursing bottle,
Keep the bottle and mouth-pieee in
water when not in use.
Give babies of FIVE or six months
half barley-water and half boiled milk
with salt and lOaf-sugar.
Give older babies more milk in pro-
portion.
Wheh babies are very eostive take
oatmeal instead of barley, but be sure
to cook and strain it.
When your breast-milk is half
enough for the infant, alternate with
bread and food.
In hot summer weather, dipa small
piece of litmus paper into the food be-
fore feeding. If the blue paper turns
red add a pinch of baking soda to the
food.
Babies of six months may have beef
tea or beef soup once day by itself
or mix with other food.
Babies ten or twelve months NAV
have crust of bread and piece Of
beefsteak to suck.
When babies throw off and purge
give them nothing to eat for four to six
hours, but all the. cold air you can.
After that, you may give a few drops
of whiskey in teaspOonful of ice
water every five or ten minutes, but
no more until the doctoreomes. When
there is vomiting and purging give no
milk.
Give no laudanum, no paregoric, no
soothing syrup, no teas
A discussion took place, in which
a majority of the physicians present
and it was their unani-
nous opinion that if printed copies Of
the schedule could be distributed in
our tenement-houses much good would
result from it.-N 7. Times, Nay

Independenee Day.


John Phoenix, in his Fourth of July
Grafton delivered at Fort Vancouver,
Oregon Territory, in 1856, thus spoke
of the Bunker Hill fight.
| Eighty years Cor thereabouts) this
day, our respective ancestors marched
up the side of Breeds Hill by the
flank, and after getting there,
feeling sick at their stomaches
from fatigue, threw up a line
of breastworks and trenches that
took the British very particular
ly by surprise. Behind these breast
works our gallant ancestors stood
shoulder to shoulder, and received the
red coated minions of the British
monarch with CALLING and destruc-
tive fire. Three successive times was
the attack repeated, and three success
i've times were the British mercena-
ries repulsed. At the fourth attempt
our ancestors suddenly remembered
certain business engagements in the
country which could no longer be neg
lected, and they had no time to see the
matter through. They left, and a
mingled mass of cowhide boots and
shirt-tails futtering in the distance
was all the British could desery, when,
out of breath, perfectly exhausted,
they arrived ON the summit of Breeds.
This great engagement was named the
battle of Bunker Hill on account of
Its lot having occurred on a hill of
that name, etc.
Even the American boy celebrated
the Fourth in the days of Phoenix.
"a parsimonious merchant fourished
in Boston and kept his counting room
open on Independence Day. Looking
up from his ledger he perceived his
son perched upon high stool, engaged
in picking his nose, a practice that the
merchant had frequently reprobated
and taken him to task for. William,
exclaimed he, why will you persist in
that dirty practice? L don't care,
whimpered the unhappy boy. Its In
dependence Day, and its my own nose,
and I'll pick thunder out of it if L
please"
Phoenix describes George Washing
ton as one who was born of poor but
honest parents at Genoa in-the year
1892, and his mother was called the
mother of Washington. lie was twice
elected President, and drew his salary
with regularity and precision worthy
of all commentator. The ignorance
of Washington is something perfectly
incredible. He never travelled on
steamboat, never saw railroad or a
locomotive engine, was perfectly ignO-
rant of the magnetic telegraph, never
had a daguerreotype, Colts pistol,
Sharp's rifle, or used a friction match.
He eat his meals with an iron fork,
never used a postage stamp on his let
tiers, and knew nothing of the applica-
ton Of chloroform to alleviate suffer
ing, or the use of gas for illumination.
Washington died from exposure on the
summit of Mount Vernon in the year
1886. Upon the whole, General
George Washington was a very excel
lent man though unfamiliar with
Scots Infantry Tactics he was a toll
erable officer; though he married
widow, he was fond husband; and
though he did not know the Beecher
family (and would have despised them
if he had), he was sincere Christian"

CONE IN BEAUTIFUL DREAMS.
By GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

.. b. T..
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh, come to me Oft,
When the white wings of sleep
On my bosom lie soft;
Oh come when the sea,
In the moons gentle light,
Beats soft on the air
Like the pulse of the night;
When the sky and the wave
Wear their loveliest blue,
When the dew's on the flower,
And the stars on the dew.
Come in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh +! come and Well stray
Where the whole year is covered
With the blossoms of May
Where each sound is as sweet
AS the COO of the dove,
And the gales are as soft
AS the breathings of love;
Where beams kiss the waves,
And the waves kiss the beach,
And our warm lips may catch
The sweet blossoms they reach.
Come in beautiful dreams. love,
Oh! come and we'll fiy,
Like the two-winged spirits
OF love through the sky;
With hand ciasped in hand
On our dream-wings we'll GO,
Where the starlight and moonlight
Are lending their glow;
And on bright clouds We'll linger,
Of purple and gold,
Till the angels shall envy
The bliss they behold.
