tures.

From the ~. Louis dlObo.l
More than two thousand people have
visited Pettes a Leathes fine art rooms
since Bierstadts great painting was
placed on exhibition. A reporter OF the
Globe has mixed with the crowd occa
sionally, and gained so much knowledge
in regard 10 good breeding and the
proper way to look at a fine picture in q
small room that he ventures TO embody
his newly-acquired social wisdom in a
set OF rules for the benefit Of future vis-
itors.
First general rule)-If the room is
full, all stand about confusedly, change
position often, talk loudly and take es-
pecial care to finish up all the colloquies
which we're begun in the street just be-
fore entering.
Second-lf you come in when some
are sitting, take your places directly in
front Of them; and, il you are lady,
give your skirts an ingenious expression
sideways, so as to intercept as much as
possible OF the view.
Third-If you are a pretty young
lady, sweep once around the lroom, CIV
ing scornful glance at each small pic
ture and bit Of statuary in it, then take
your place directly in front OF the pic
ture and about four feet from it. Don {
for a moment allow yourself to forget
that you are the object which everyone
has come to see.
'Fourth-If you are two yeung ladies',
one OF whom has pug nose, and both
of whom wear feathers taller than the
plumes OF hearse, stand in front OF
everybody, that the modest gentleman
in the background, who admires art for
its own sake, may have an opportunity
of observing the latest style of paunier
and the newest fashion of dressing the
back hair.
Fifth-If you are an ancient maiden
lady, stand by yourself in the most
prominent position attainable, and run
up the gamut of admiration until you
end triumphantly on G sharp above the
lines. II is not necessary that your
voice should be loud but it is absolutely
esse ntial that it should be penetrating.
Sixth-If you are the gentleman from
the country you cannot possibly get toe
near the painting to see it to advantage
Use your umbrella freely in pointing
out it's beauties. If you puncture the
canvas no matter.
Seventh-Ifyou are two young men. .siA
footers, and very broad of shoulder, follow
the rules given for two young ladies
as nearly as your sex will permit. If yor
provoke profanity in others, it will be o.
the mental kind, aud by secret curses
no one is disturbed, not even the record
Jag angel.
Eighth-Never think of the conve
uience of others; it distracts the atten
tion.
Ninth-(General rule, but trivial, ant
not to be observed). Form semi-circl
at distance from the picture; remem
ber that others wish to see it is as wei
as yourself; 60 away quietly when yol
are done.

A NOVEL WEDDING TOUR.
Romantic and Practical.


Mr.. Newbury of Davenport, Iowa, like
Burns of Gettysburg, is practical man,
under which guise he won the heart OF
Miss Zamie Severance, a brilliant lady
and deservedly popular school teacher,
and about five weeks ago they were
made man and wife.
1t had been the custom OF Mr.. New
bury to take an annual barge trip to
New Orleans, and he conceived the
novel and romantic idea of making a
wedding tour in the same way. The
subject was broached to his friends, and
also to the friends of the bride, and as 1t
met with much favor on all sides he de-
cided to carry the plan out. A barge
was accordingly fitted up in shipshape
order for the reception OF the newly
married couple. In addition to the lux
uries of life cargo OF onions and pota-
toes we're slowed away in the hold, to
be disposed of on arrival at New Or
leans. In this manner was profit com
bined with pleasure and common sense
with romance.
In addition to Mr.. and Mrs. Newbury,
the craft carried fourteen passengers,
three of whom were ladies. Mr.. Hall,
an experienced Mississippi navigator,
piloted the barge and commanded a
crew of four men, all told. The balance
of the party was composed OF ambitious
followers Of Nimrod, who had pledged
themselves to keep the cuisine well sup
piled with wild game.
Immediately after the wedding cere.
mony had been performed the bridal
marty and their retainers were escorted
to the barge, which was pushed out into
the stream, and slowly foated past the
city on the way to the gulf. The only
steam on board was that which issued
from the mouth of the teakettle, and
hence dreams of boiler explosions did
not haunt the dreams Of the yoyageurs.
After a highly enjoyable trip OF four
weeks duration, the barge, with ITS
novel cargo of onions and bride, reached
st. Louis on Saturday night. AS the
Journey was only continued by daylight,
the length of time was longer than an
ticipated, but it passed only too quickly
for the happy passengers. When game
was sighted landing was effected, and
the hunters of the party were gwen q
CHANGE to amuse themselves.
The animated Aoaters spent three or
four days in the city, calling on their
friends and visiting places of amuse,
ment. On Wednesday they continued
their voyage, and expect to reach New
Orleans in about two months. Ihey
propose to remain in Cairo week, and
also a week in Memphis. The vessel
log will be an interesting document 70
ueruse when the trip is completed, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Hewbury will doubtless
carry it back to Davenport with them
on their return next spring. .,
Taking all circumstances into consid'
GRAFTON, this wedding tour can be safely
classed as the most practically romantic
one on record.

In the London record Office concerning
Chanoer. 1t was already known that he
was one of the household of Edward III.
In 1866 the name of Geffrey Chaucer
occurs among the "thirty-seyen esquires
of the king who were each to receive a

Chaucer was a valet Of the king in 1861.
We knew also that be vas in the service
of Prince Eonels wife, and vas taken

did between 1860 and 1867, nothing was
certain. except that be was busily in
love. Another year, 1866, is thss dis.

Rain md Milk.

The Live Stock Journal says that a
correspondent writes that the fact has
often been observed at cheese factories
that, after even moderate rain. the
quantity of milk from the same COWS
would fall off very materially, and he
wishes to know if there is any explana-
ton of it. We do not remember to
have seen any attempt at explanation
of this decrease in the quantity of
milk; but we think the obvious cause
is to be found, first, III the cows get.
ting wet and thereby losing so much
heat by the evaporation of this water
from the skin. This extra supply of
heat must come from the food, and
thus must lessen the milk And, Sec
ond, the grass being wet when eaten,
gives the COW too much water in the
feed, and thus lessons the amount of
nutriment taken, and consequently the
milk. We have often observed the
effect of feeding wet grass to COWS in
summer soiling. 1t has always occur
red when wet grass was fed to COWS in
stable, the cows being sheltered during
the rain, that they gave less milk than
when fed upon grass in its ordinary
condition. We have observed the same
effect when cut and fed with a heavy
dew on it. Grass contains from SIS to
so per cent. of water in its natural
state, and when large amount of water
is added to this, it becomes too much
OF a good thing.

My Plan with Pigs.

A correspondent OF the New York
Tribune says {" have studied the
nature of the hog, and, after many
trials and disappointment, have come
TO tho following conclusions First,
have the pigs dropped about the first
of May, thus avoiding the cold winds
of March and April and the OVERLAPPING
occasioned by penning in early spring
/ save by this plan about ten per cent,
and sometimes more especially of a
wet, cold spring. Second, have a good
blue grass or clover pasture for them TO
run in, with plenty of fresh water, aud
feed literally on corn. Third, the fol-
lowing year have good field of rye TO
turn on as soon as it begins TO harden,
and, If possible a good clover lot. feed
no corn while they are on the rye. Ia the
meantime / have four or five loads of
coal ashes from the steam-mill, or
refuse from the brick yard, and mix
with salt OF wood ashes. BY the first
of September they are ready for corn,
not fat, but healthy and sleek as
moles. / then commence feeding, each
day increasing the amount until they
are on full feed: never overfeed, but
as much as they will eat up clean. /
give plenty of fresh water, and in six
weeks | am ready to market pigs that
average over 300 pounds each. / am
not particular about the breed, but
prefer q cross of Berkshire and Byfeld.
A person may do better with a few, but
this plan is for these who keep from go
10 100 head, and feed no cattle.

Want of Care.

Want of care is the prolific cause of
accident and disease among stock. The
masters eye or the owners solicitude
are proverbially preventives against
trouble or waste; but if the master or
the owner will not trouble themselves
TO exercise the watchful care needed,
we may be sure no one else will. A
careful shepherd will never brin,, his
flock home at night without counting
them, and passing among them, OBJ
serving carefully any suspicious change
or defect. In the dairy, the least fall
ing off in the yield of COW should be
the cause of inquiry or observation I'M
til the reason is found for that there
is reason we may be assured. A limp
or suspicious failure in the team
should also be source of uneasiness
until it is accounted for; and if this
habit of close scrutiny and observation
becomes the rule instead of the excep-
ton, there will be much less trouble
and loss for farmers to complain of.

A New Way to Kill Mosquitoes.

A wet towel is the simplest engine
known to science for killing musqui
toes. Consequently il has become
popular with the masses, and generally
supersedes the naked hand i'm cases
where long reach and extraordinary
vehemence are required. Nor can il
be denied that it combines very many
advantages. Convenience, cheapnt SIS,
effectiveness, all belong TO the wet
towel IN skillful hands. Moreover IL il
picturesque IN ITS consequences. If
suddenly snatched away from life
while standing on perfectly white
ceiling trying to digest drop of fresh
captured human gore, full grown
mosquito may be made by the wet
towel process to present the spectacle
OF Chicago, after the fire, in panoramic
detail.
But there has been recently discov.
cred a method by which the wet towel
will be completely thrown into the
shade and superseded in the public
affection. II is IA marvel of simplicity
and thoroughly efficacious. The com
ponent parts are nail, broomstick,
and the cover of tin blacking-box.
Nail the latter TO the broomstick, hol-
low side up, and smear the bottom OF
the tin with kerosene oil Then clap
the thing over the nearest MOSQUITO
dlscoverable upon the wall or ceiling.
and hold him prisoner for an instant.
Upon removing the machine his dead
body will be found adhering to the oil
at the bottom of the lid. intoxicated
by the fumes he has been
overcome almost instantaneously
and succumbed. Occasionally
particularly strong headed individual
will delay his demise long enough to
mike his will. aud exhibit unmistak-
able signs of drunkenness. He will
reel about The bottom of the cover in
the most inebriated fashion without
any apparent respect for the surround
ing corpses, sometimes even standing
on his head and making faces at dead
relative. Then, with gyratiou and
hiccup, he will keel over and die. IL
is a demoralizing spectacle, and illus.
trates the depth of depravity to which
u mosquito can descend.
1t is TACT that last evening a New
ark man destroyed one hundred and
fifty mosquitoes within an hours time,
in single room, by this device. He
spent the remainder of the evening in
an artistic disposal of his victims, ar
ranging their remains in order upon
sheet OF white paper He formed the
wold Mosquitoes, aud he intended
to cover the design with pane of glass
tor preservation in frame, but an ac-
cidental arrangement of the paper
spoiled the symmetry of the thing, and
as the labor of Encouragement was
hardly an equivalent to the satisfac.
tion of future contemplation, the task
was abandoned, --NoWdrk AdUor tiscr,
