RUSSIA'S PEACEFUL REVENGE.

The Russians have launched an
iron-clsd vessel in the Black Sea. The
event itself seems q trifiing one, but
it becomes of tremendous importance
when it is considered that the launch
ing of the vessel is q sponge which
wines out all the bloody triumphs
achieved by combined France and
England in the Crimean war. One
of the points which was secured by
that conflict was the vacation of this
sea by Russia, for the reason that its
occupation by that power was q con-
slant menace to Turkey, whose integ-
rity England and France were-and
are-vitally interested in maintaining.
But, to-day, r ance has ample oecu-
patton in caring for its internal affairs
and in securing the vacation of its
territory by the German troops. It
has far more interest in the doings Of
MscMahon than in those OF Alexan-
der and it has sufficient sickness de.
manding its attention at home with
out sitting up with and caring for the
sick man OF the Orient.
England is not given to fighting Of
late, except with powerful allies. 1t
has enough to do to watch the pro-
gress of Russia southwark through
Asia; and, however much it may
care can do nothing to arrest the
Russians re-oceupatiOn of the Black
Sea. And thus it happens that the
launching Of this irOn-clad reyenges
Sebastopol ,snd redesms all the defeats
and humiliatiOns which Russia sus-
tanned in the Cnmesn war conflict

TngrOWing YOe.NaiIs,

A correspondent of the British Ned
ical Journal takes the ground that no
cutting operation is at all necessary for
the complete and rapid cure of an in
growing toe-nail. If a small, thin,
fiat piece of silver plate be bent al
one edge into slight deep groove,
and, after the toe has been poulticed
twenty-tour hours, slipped beneath
the edge of the nail, so as to protect
the flesh from its pressure, and the
rest of the thin plate bent round the
side and front of the toe, being kept
II position with q small portion OF
resin plaster passed round the toe, q
speedy and almost painless cure viii
take place and the patient, alter the
first day, has the additional advantage
of being able to walk. This method
has been followed in numerous eases
with UNIFORM success
DR.. Bowes, of Liverpool, states, in
the same journal, that he has, for the
past twenty years, employed compress,
ed sponge successfully in the treat
ment of ingrowing nails. lie renders
the sponge compact by wetting and
then tying it tightly, until it is thor
oughly dry. a bit of the sponge, il
size less than a grain of rice, is placed
under the nail, and secured by strip
OF adhesive plaster. In this way The
point of the nail is kept up from tht
toe until the surrounding soft part.

LOST WOMEN"

The Currani,

There are few of the small fruits
more grateful to the palate, and per-
haps none so generally neglected, as
the currant. Its an exceedingly gross
feeder, and to insure the best results,
even on rich soils, liberal mauuFiDg
should be resorted to. Our plan, a.
with Strawberries, is to plant one third
of the area intended for this fruit each
year, grubbing up the old plants after
they have borne two full crops. When
you set the young plants which may
be obtained from cuttings OF the pre-
vious year, dig a good shovelful Of
compost manure in each place where
you set a plant, and when you cut out
the old wood after the fruiting season,
fork in an additional shOvelful of ma
nure about the plant.
The reason for removing the plant,
ings as heretofore noticed is that the
borers DO not seriously injure the
young plants, and, by this renewa
system, you always have young, thrifty
plants for fruiting. If the borers dc
not depredate upon your bushes, th'
surplus, if any, may be readily sold a
the nearest village, for, notwithstand-
ing, or rather perhaps becsUse of, the
general neglect of this fruit, the best
samples, as with strawberries, always
command a good price Western

RiDening of Fruit.

Professor Turner says, "preyious tc
maturity, fruits are formed of compact
cellular tissue, containing the elements
of woody fibre, and filed with liquid
containing very little sugar, a gummy
substance and large quantity OF free
acid. During maturation apart OF tht
oxygen of the air and the cellulose lis
sue diminishes and the proportion o
sugar increases, in so much that instead
OF hard, woody acrli fruits, if tn,
maturation has been complete fruits
yield a sweet syrupy juice
According to Prof Mulder, "hesGy
fruits and several kinds of berries ac
quire while ripening a much greater
proportion of sugar than they contain
ed before maturity, although full
grown. Ripe fruits have not an acid
taate because they contain a larger
quantity of a basis by which they are
saturated, snd not because they are
disguised by sugar.
Frenzy says, Sat the moment of ri
pening, the acids ofiruits are PARTIAL,
saturated, and form salts of lime Oh
potash

Homes Reduced by Dress.

ciety ruihietsly iieaps upon this dis

virtue, your character held as moth
ing against silk; TO be stung, TO be
outraged to be prescribed; to be
insulted; all this and much more for
the lack OF money ito dress"
Ii matters not whether this rule OF
society is right or wrong, the fact re
mains to blight and to ruin. The
fashionable lady thinks nothing Of
paying s75 for rmaklng a dress, made OF
40 yards of six, at from $4 to SO per
yard. These are the women who rule
the streets, drawing-rooms, theatres
dare we say churches. Alter such
the lesser lights take pattern. What
defense have the girls who work for
from 81 TO $40 per week against this
array
The rich can be fashionable, the
poor cannot be by honest means. The
poor, industrious shop girl looks upon
even $50 dresses, and they are beyond
her reach. There is a $40 gulf be-
tween her and them-between her and
the respect and attention of society.
Her virtue viii span the chasm. She
longs to lift the load of poverty, to
receive the caresses of society, to be
freed from bondage. She sells her
self to hell for dress. After the first
step is taken it is not long before all
useful labor is eschewed, and the foul
vice made TO be the only service of
of her income. This is no picture,
but what happens every day, and is
a plain stain statement of how the
recruits to brothels are made
This mania fol ''dress" is devastat-
ing our American society and demor-
alizing American women 20 an alarm
ing extent. The wives and daughters
Of the rich men, WHO lead society in
this fearful race of extravagance, are
responsible for great share of the
prostitution which curses the nation,
as well rs for thousands Of business
failures, scattered families, and the
long train of miseries among us under
the cover Of 'keeping up appear

cOurages take this lesson and act upon
it.

To Stop TIE RAvAGEs OF MoTus.
-Camphcr will not stop the ravoges
of moths in carpets after they have
commenced eating. Then they pay
no regard to the presence of camphor,
cedar or tobacco. a good way to kill
them is, to take a coarse crash towel
and wiring it out OF clean water. Spread
it smoothly on the carpet, then iron ii

the operation on all suspected plact s,
and those least used. 1t does not IN

SAVING SEED CoEE.-G. Snyder,
Scott Station, Kalamazoo County,
Mich, states there had never before
been such a failure of seed corn in
coming up as the present season. His
observations and those of his neigh
bors had shown that corn that had
been selected and hung away from all
heat had its vitality destroyed by
freezing. Corn husked and, thrown
on the floor, and covered with snow,
had (seven-eights of iDgroBn Corn
left in the shock in the field had pro
duced. Corn put in the crib had
failed. lie concluded from these OBJ
servalions and this experience, that al
seed corn, if husked, should be kept
from freezing during the winter that
if husked, It should never be allowed
TO lie on the ground over night; anG
that corn that is to bs hung up in /;
cool room for seed should never b.
husked until planting time arrives.

GEN. POPE AND TOM SCOTT.
[Chieago Tribune Letter.

| lChicagO Tribune Letter.
Did you ever hear the story told Oi
the first interview between Gen. John
Pope and Col. Thomas A. Scott,
during the second year of the re-
bellion ? Scott was then Assistant
Secretary of War, and had occasion
to see Pope, stationed at Cape Cir
ardeau, Mo-, on important business
As is well known, the General is, or
at least was, not remarkable for cour-
tesy, snd in regard to profanity, he
could have given the British army in
FlaIt'ers three points, and then have
beaten them st their own game.
Pope had his headquarters on a
transport, snd was seated in the cabin
smoking, one afternoon, when a rather
small, quiet.lOoking man entered and
said:
is this Gen. Pope ?'
"rhat's my name, sir > in loud
and hectoring tone.
II have some business, General"
"See my Adjutant, then. Ihave no
time to attend to you''
"But General, my business"
"D-your business See my Adju
tant. G-d-your'
You don't quite understand, Gen.
eral-n
Northumberland? H and d.!
It's you who do not understand, fol
have told you to see my adjutant
G-d--youl half a dozen times"
"My name, General, is Scott, and
"What the h do 1 care what your
name is? IT it's Pot or Rot or Sol
or Idiot, as / suspect, it's of no
consequence to me, G--d-it" it ="
all this while the stranger pre-
served his perfectly quiet, calm,
modest demeanor, and Pope, being
nearly out of breath from temper snd
excess of profanity, gave him time to
say, ss TRANQUILITY as if the General
had been polite from the first:
81 have the honor to be Assistant
Secretary of War, and the misfOr
tuHcJ OcHclSI, ~ Oc uuhuOnA ~ OAS
most urbane and best bred officers in
the service Of the United States"
The first part Of the sentence had
so overwhelmed Pope that it is doubt
ful il he heard the stinging irony OF
the remainder. His manner changed
at once, and he exclaimed: 81 beg
thousand pardons, Colonel. l did
not know you; and / am sure you
would pardon my rudeness if you
knew how tremendously l am bored
by fellows who insist upon seeing me
because they have lost a chicken, or
can't collect fifty cents from a Union
soldier
Colonel Scott made 20 further re-
marks, but entered upon the business
in hand at once During the remain
der Of his stay in Pope's department
be was treated with the most distin-
guished courtesy.
