A Durable Paste.

-Four parts, by weight, of glue are al
lowed to soften in fifteen parts of cold
water for some hours, and then moder-
ately heated till the solution becomes
quite clear Sixty-tiye parts of boiling
water are now added, with stirring. In
another vessel thirty parts of starch
paste are stirred up with twenty parts
of cold water, so that Il thin, milky fluid
is obtained without Jumps. Into this
the boiling 6 lue solution is poured, with
constant stirring, and the whole is kept
at the boiling temperature. After cool
ing, ten drops Of carbolic acid are added
to the paste. This paste is of extraor-
binary adhesive power, and may be used
Tor leather, paper, OF cardboard, with
great success. 1t must be preserved in
closed bottles, to prevent evaporation
OF the water and will, i'll this way, keep
good for years.

A MARVEL or SURG ERl.

The Baltimore SIN, in reporting the
proceedings of the Medical and Chirurgi-
cal Society, describes the subioined
case ::
The patient who was exhibited to the
society had had both the lids of the left
eye diseased for twenty-seven years
with what had been called cancer by
many surgeons. To remove the entire
disease, both lids as well as the skin
from the side of the nose had to be re-
moved, leaving the left eye (his only
good one) exposed to Il friShtful gap.
To protect the eye, and at the same
time to remove the hideous conformity,
Prof. Chisolm undertook the delicate
surgical operation of manufacturing two
lids-the upper lid from the skin of the
forehead, and the lower lid from the
skin of the cheek. So very successfully
had this been accomplished that it re-
quired very close observation to detect
the difference between the left side of
the face with the manufactured lids tina
nature had made. The case had been a
very satisfactory one to both surgeon
and patient.

Closc-ScttinS Hens.

There are some hens oyer-anxious
about the chicks within the shells, whose
cry for deliyerance they can distinctive
ly hear; and they do not rise from off
the eggs during the process of chipping.
This is an operation we have continually
observed with hens that are very sue
ccssful i'll Matching, while those which
sat too closely at the last stages are
those whose excess of kindness has pro
duccd the non, or limited, success in
Matching out good broods. The only
good we have observed arising from any
sprinkling of the eggs with the water is
from their having received an increased
and lifesaying supply of air during such
process, without which, i'll many in
stances, the chicks would either have
been sutlocated or glued to the shell.

What the Farmer ,Ius, Kno,

The farmer, like the business man,
must know what he is doing he must
have some pretty decided ideas of what
he is to accomplish-in fact, he must
calculate it beforehand.
He must know his soil-that of each
lot; not only the top, but the sub-soil
He must also know what grain and
grass are adapted to each.
He must know when is the best time
to work them, whether they need sum
mer following.
He must know the condition in which
the ground must be when plowed, so
that it be not too wet nor too dry.
He must know that some grain re-
quires earlier sowing than others, and
what these grains are.
He must know how to put them in.
He must know that it will pay to
have machinery to help him as well as
muscle.
He must know about stock and ma
nures, and the cultivation of trees aud
small fruits, and many other things in
word, he must know what expert

sure of success. Then he will not guess
will not run such risks.

EDITORIAL NOTICES are so common
that it is almost impossible for an editor
to express his honest opinion of the
merits of any article without being sus-
pCctcd of interested motives. This fact,
however, shall not deter us from saying
what we think of new addition to the
Matcria Mcdca to which our attention
has been recently directed. We refer to
Dir. j. WALKER's CALIroENIA VINEGAR
BrrrERs, IL remedy which is making it's
way into more families just now than all
the other advertised medicines put to-
gcthcr. Its popularity, us far as we can
Judge, is not based on empty pretcnsion.
There seems to be no question about
the potency of its tonic and Alternative
properties, while it possesses the great
negative recommendation of containing
neither alcohol nor mineral poison.
That it is specific for Indigestion,
Biliousness, Constipation, and many
complaints of nervous origin, we have
reason to know; and we are assured, on
good authority, that as Il general invlg-
GRANT, regulating and purifying mcdi-
cine, it has no equal. 1t is stated that
its ingredients obtained from the wilds
of California; are new to the medical
world; and its extraordinary effects GER
tainly warrant the conclusion that it is Il
compound of agents hitherto unknown.
If popularity is any criterion, there can
be no doubt of the efficiency of the VIM
EGAR Buffers, for the sale of the article
is immense and continually increasing.

THE BRITISH REP UBLIGAN PLA r.
FORM

We were briefly advised by telegraph,
some days ago, that the Republicans of
Great Britain had met in National Con
vention at Birmingham and adopted a
platform of principles. We present
below the full text of the platform. 1t
was adopted with unanimity, except in
the case of the last plank, which gave
rise to a long debate, and which was
adopted against the votes of some of the
delegates, Mr. Bradlaugh among them
The convention was largely attended by
delegates from every part of Great
Britain, and i, represented to have been
unusually orderly and harmonious in its
deliberations. All of the delegates gave
assurances that the Republican feeling
was rapidly growing in every part of the
United Kingdom. The following is the
platform
l. The republican form of government is
the only form worthy the support of civilized
people.
@ Every human being should have the legal
right to vote for the election of all public
representatives. unless ncapacitated by homage
or privation of reason.
g. The special affairs of England Scotland
and Ireland should, if tho people of those
countries 40 desire, be managed by separate
local Parliaments, and all imperial questions
be decided by the Federal Government.
/ 4. All persons should be equal before the
law, and therefore justice should be so admin
stcrcd AZ not to cause invidious distinctions
between rich and poor through the costliness
of its operation, as now so severely fell.
5. The furthest extension of local self-gov-
ernmcnt is desirable conducive to political
education and integrity.
g. The tenure of land should be subject to
considerations of general utility and no sup
posed right of private ownership therein
should be allowed to stand against the economi-
cal and social requirements of the nation; and
all legal causes of land monopoly should be at
once removed, and the land tax be equitably
apportioned, first step III the direction of
land tenure reform.
7. The present electoral system is extremely
faulty, end should give place to distribution
of representation according to the population,
by which adequate national representation
may be secured.
! S. The House of Lords being a mere relic
of feudaism, and founded upon the exploded
hereditary principle should as soon rs possible
be abolished.
9. A state church is antagonistic to princi-
pies of religious equality, and u standing
insult to all outside its pale and ought there
fore to be assailcd as SUCH with view to
ultimate disestablishment and abandonment
10. Standing armies are inimical to the
moral and industrial welfare of the state and
perpetual menace to its safety and should
therefore be abolished.
II. The various colonial dependencies should
be, as soon as possible, self-governed, and
bound to the mother country only by fedora
tive tie.
r. There should be established national
system of compulsory gratuitous, secular and
industrial education.

SERIING 1T TIRLE.

The habit that obtains in many famil-
les of heaping" food and giving little
and considerable more than is asked for,
has nothing to be said in its favor, and a
great deal against it. Unless one has a
strong firm appetite that only an earth
quake or tempest could effect, a large
quantity of food is appalling. 1t is much
pleasanter to send ones plate and have
it replenished, than to be obliged to
leave food upon the plate. In order to
clear the plate one is prone to overeat,
from an idea of saving the food.
Economy does not signify a lack of
plentifulness nor stinginess. 1t means
enough for each and all, and nothing
wasted, and when food is served in over
abundance, waste must be the result, I'M
less, indeed, the surplus is gathered to-
gether again-the simple idea of which
is disgusting. Moreover, it is a comfort
to get just what one asks for-if half
cup of tea" that much and no more.

CART. JACK INTER VIE WED-PER
.SONAEL or THE SAVAGE HEAD
ERS.
[Tnle Lake June 81 Cor. San Francisco Bulletnl
BY permission of the officer of the
guard, | had an interview with Jack
through the medium Of an interpreter
At first he was rcticent In fact, he did
not deign to notice me. His sister Mary
intcrceded in my behalf and persuaded
Jack to talk. His remark was in rela-
ton to the shackIcs He said it made
him feel mean to be habited like horse.
He was not afraid to die, and had no
idea OF running away. AS he spoke his
eyes snapped and he looked very lion
in rage. All questions pertaining to his
fight he declined to answer. When
asked his age, he gave me to understand
that he was 36. He then voluntarily
started upon statement of his griev-
ances against his race at the time of the
Ben Wright affair. He said that the
white men murdered Indians years ago,
and that what he did was only paying
old debts. He did not enter into details,
but left the interpreter, Scar-Faced
Charley, to patch up the story.
\ critical study of Jacks face cor
roborates the impressions received at
first sight. He is Il thorough Indian.
His head is large, quite square, and for
the present sets firmly on his shoulders.
His eyes are black and bright, his face
broad, with prominent cheek-bones.
His nose is symmetrical and slightly
aquiline. His lips are thin and clean
cut and, combined with his chin, indi-
Gates that resolutcncss of purpose that
has won for him such remarkable
notoriety. His complexion is dark, and
his face has pleasant look. Take him
all i'll all, he is Il striking man. Place
him among thousands, he would be
taken for Il chief by any observing
stranger. Those who have seen him
marvel not that he is leader of the
Modocs. Though in chains and on the
brink of eternity, he is yet feared and
respected by the Indians about him.
His nearest companion i'll chains,
Sconchin, is 30 years of age, and
wrinkled, and has the villain depicted i'll
every line of his face. He wears his
hair short, and stands about five feet
nine in his moccasinS.
Boston Charley is about % years old.
His face is expressionlcss. He, Nose
and Sam are very ordinary looking In
dams. Jack would attempt to escape if
he had a chance, even at the risk of
being shot down. Probably he never
realized that death was inevitable until
the irons were placed upon his feet

About > o'clock Sunday afternoon a
man named George Watson, IL carpenter,
was strolling around the Passaic Falls
half drunk, when he suddenly took it
into his head to Guido Sam Patch's ia
nous leap from the Falls. So he de-
Gberatcly climbed up on the iron bridge
which crosses the chasm, and before any
body could prevent had jumped off the
dizzy height, and sped through dist
ance of fully so feet to the boiling flood
below. A number of persons saw the
fearful leap and hurried to the spot, ex-
pccting to see dead body floating on
the water, but to their astonishment
Watson came up safely but ober, and
hastily clambered up the large, square
rock below the bridge, where he sat
covering and shiyering with alright at
his foolhar,liness. He was too much I'M
strung to swim across the basin to dry
land, and so had to try to Chamber up
through the narrow crevicc near by. A
large crowd soon gathered, with every
appliance to extricate him from his pre-
carious situation. Watson was COM
pleteIy exhausted when drawn out by

Stakes for Tomatoes.

Thomas Meehan, the horticulturist of
Germantown, Pa, says he has for sew
eral years noted the relative advantages
of the different ways of cultivating to-
matoes, and he concludes that the best
practice to adopt is to proceed as with
the Lima beans-that is, set the stakes
before the plants are put out These
stakes need not be over six feet high,
and may be set set about four feet apart
each way. As the plants grow, tie them
up to the stakes but that will not be
required over half Il dozen times during
the season. Twenty plants in this way
will yield as much fruit as double the
quantity on any other plan, and i'll quail
ity there is no comparison.
The common field plan of leaving to-
matoes grow as they list, spreading
everywhere over the ground, may be, as
truck-growcrs say it is, the way i'll which
the heaviest weight of fruit can be had
in proportion to the labor spent; but i'll
this way the fruit is more acid. But
whatever system is adopted, do not set
the plants until the soil is warm, or they
will be stunted and time lost.
Planting Evcrgreens and Forest Trees.
A light, sandy soil, underlain with
some porous sub soil, furnishing album
dant drainage, is the best adapted to
the growth of trees, particularly ever
greens. If the soil is clay, or if hard
compact texture, it should be thorough
ly underdrained. The roots of nearly
all trees will very soon decompose if
they are surrounded with water, in the
soil, if only for Il short time. Any good
rich surface soil is all right if the sub
soil admits the requisite drainage. Ar.
Dor vitae, American larch, and some
other varieties of trees will thrive reas-
onably well in low, wet ground, where
the roots can penetrate to standing
water, but no better than on dry soil.
The worst place in the world for trees
is a light, sandy soil, with a hard, i'm
permeable sub-soil, such as is found in
many portions of the West.

MANSFIELD TRACY WALwoRTH, who
was murdered by his son in New York
hotel, the other day, was the son Of the
late Chancellor Walworth, one of the
most distinguished citizens of that State,
and man identified with the great tenn
perance, tract and bible societies. The
Chancellor died in 1867, aged so years.
a brother of the deceased is popular
and eloquent mission preacher of the
Paulists. Mr.. Walworth was born i'll
Albany, i'll 1880. He was educated for
the legal profession, and, after being
admitted to the bar, assisted his father
for short time in his office at Albany,
but, his profession becoming distatcful
he turned his attention to literature
He was married some years ago to Miss
Nellie Hardin, a daughter of the famous
Col. John Hardin, of Illinois. Col.
Hardin was one of the most distinguished
lawyers in Illinois, and formidable
rival of Stephen A. Douglas, 50 much so
Hardin to be the only man i'll the State
whom he feared to meet in debate.
Walworth has been separated from his
wife for some years, and that lady is now
keeping a seminary for young ladies on
the estate of the late Chancellor Wal
worth, at Saratoga Springs, where she is
living in elegant style. He has lived
what was generally described as a fast
life, was fond of loud dress, good sup.
pers, and was addicted to unreasonable
extravaganza. Mr.. Walworth's con.
tributions to the literature of the day
are embodied in five novels: =" Hot
spur" Lulu" WARWICK della
PLANE and "Bevcrly.' At the time o.
his death Walworth was publishing ;
serial story i'll the New York Weekly
and had another novel in press.
