WASHINGTON, April 28.-Col John 8. Mosby,
of Confederate guerrilla fame, 1t appears ls one
.of the most influential men in Virginia with the
Administration. As 4 consequence, he finds
himself overrun With applications for Office, not
only from Virginis, but from other Southern

md not few Of the ofice-holders, have m idea
that Moeby is man Of power, and they there
fore seek to cultivate him. He receives large
mail every day, from peraons begging him TO
give them letters OF introduction to President
Grant. Mosby himself has declined haf-a-dozen
good Offices.

ALCOHOL IN BREAD.-It has been

ALCOHOL IN BBEAD.-It has been
generally stated that the alcohol formed
in dough during the process of fermen-
tation is all expelled in the baking, but
some earnest teetotalers may be panied
to learn that Mr.. T. Bolas finds that a
perceptible amount of the Intoxicating
fluid may be obtained from SO small q
quantity as two ounces of bread. From
the report of his Investigations pub
lished in the chemical news, it appears
that six samples of new bread, bought at
shops in London, yielded from POI to
.401 of one per cent. of alcohol. After
the bread had been exposed to the air
in moderately warm room for a week,
two-thirds of the alcohol had evapora-
ted. Mr.. Bolas remarks that "The
amount of alcohol contained in bread is
too small to be of any dietetic impor-
lance, but it may be, perhaps, worth
while to notice, that forty-two pound
loaves are about equal in alcoholic
strength to bottle of port. He hopes
soon to determine the amount of alcohol
which dough loses while baking. Our
reade. probably recollect that some
years ago attempts were made in Eng
land to save the large amount of alcohol
supposed to be lost in bakers ovens. A
good deal of money was sunk in the ex-
pertinent, but it was found that the
amount and quality of the spirit OBJ
tanned were not such as to make the
process remunerative. -LO7ldon Med5-

Shoeing a Camel.

A traveller from Pekin to Siberia,
across the great desert of Cobb, tells us
that whenever a cancels feet have be-
come very tender and sore from long
marches, the poor creature lies down.
hurt him, and looks to find out if the
thick skin of the feet is blistered.
Whenever a blister is found, two or
three strong men, usually Mongols,
keep watch of the camel until it is not
noticing them. At just the right mo
ment they make a rush all together
upon the camel, throw it over upon the
side, and make it fast. Then, with a
needle made for that use, they sew a
square piece of leather large enough to
cover the hurt place over the cancels
foot, the skin of which is quite thick
enough to sew through, without hurt
ing the animal. With his new shoes on,
the camel is quite ready to get up and
march on. The pieces of leather are
very carefully prepared for this use. It
sometimes happens that camel lies
down in the midst of his long march
across the wide desert and dies. The
natives takes the thickest part of his
skin to make shoes of. These bits of
skin they take out day after day, when
on the march, and pull, until they be-
come so soft and yielding that camel
with blistered feet seems grateful to
have shoes made of it, although he
would resist the shoeing until the last,
were he not held so that he could not
move.-RurGL NeCO Yorker.

FRUIT PUDDING.-Make a crust of
graham -four, sour cream, soda and a
pinch of salt. Pass the -four through a
coarse sieve, so as to relieve it of the
larger bits of bran. For family of six
persons line a quart basin with the
crust, a quarter Of an inch thick. Fill
the basin thus lined, with fruit-plums
or peaches are best. Let the fruit be of
the choicest variety. Cover the whole
with rather thick crust, and steam
until the crust is thoroughly cooked
Serve with white sugar and thick, sweet
cream. This is the queen of buildings
and can be eaten with Comparatively

The widow of Charles Washington
of Washington county, Ark, has raised
silk on her estate for the last twenty
five years. She feeds the silk worms
upon the leaves Of the mulbury, which
grows wild there, and states that size has
never known any disease among her
worms, and never received any instruc-
tions in careing for the worms or in the
art of spinning the silk, except what she
obtained from an old almanac more than
twenty-five years ago. She spins the
silk upon common wheel, such as is
used by families for spinning fax, and
for a quarter of a century has manu-
featured all the sewing silk and floss for
embroidery needed in her own family,
besides more or less for sale to neigh
bors and to stores in the village Mrs.
Washington's experience would indicate
that Arkansas is healthy climate for
silk works.

The Piutes in Utah occupy their
leisure moments in catching flying liz
ards with sticks curved like the handle
of cane, and eating them. When a
Piute sees one he extends his stick, and
by dexterous twist spins the lizard in
the air, catching him in his hands as he
comes down. The flesh of these lizards
resembles the meat of bull-frog, and
they are said to be even more delicious.
As fast as the Indians catch them they
string them around their waists and
necks, and toast them one by one, as
thew become hungry.

HE National Life Insurance company
of the United States of America is in
no respect affected by the recent suspen-
sion of the large clearinghouse of Jay
Cooke & Co. It's securities are such as
are proper to a conservatively conduc-
ted life insurance company, all being of
the most substantial description. Tt
holds, invested in mortgages and in
government bonds, a much larger
amount than its total liabilities, and all
of its other assets are worth all that
they are claimed to be. It has not, and
never had, a dollar of its funds invested
or secured by the Northern Pacific rail
road bonds or stock. It did not even
have deposits with the clearinghouse of
Jay Cooke & Co., or any other private
clearinghouse. The policy holders and
friends of the company need entertain
no shadow of apprehension as to its per-
manent ability, and of its future pros
perity and success.

Manure for Fruit Trees.

It is clear that animal manures are
not what is wanted for fruit trees, in
Guiding grape-vines, berries, etc. There
may be benefit, and usually is at first,
but the quality of the fruit will suffer,
and the wood and foliage are not of that
healthy character which is desired.
This has been noticed by Liebig and
others. We have known prolific grape
vines to bear more fruit, but at an ex-
pense of quality, where the contents of
the privy were freely used for manuring.
We have always found the best success
when the leaves, the weddings of the
garden, chip-manure and forest-mould,
either singly or combined, have been
freely applied. These seem to contain
the different materials in proper pro-
portion, that is, the organic, the car
bonaceous, and heterogeneous, the mine
raj needs to be supplied, and nothing
does this so satisfactorily as wood ashes.
It supplies largely potash. which is
needed. The best success. and it has
been fully achieved, which we ever at
tanned, was bS applying coat of leaves
in the fall, worked into the soil in the
spring, followed by weddings from the
garden, clippings of the vine with other

over with wood ashes, teaching or I'M
Teaching; if the latter, more were re-
quired. This made healthy, not ex-
cessive growth, and increased both in
quality and quantity of the fruit. 1t
makes a sonndel and better keeping
fruit. This was variety of soils, but
particularly clay soil. There should
be good drainage and exposure to air,
or else, with green mulch kept moist
by the ashes there might be too much
humidity. For grapes this will not do.
Nor will it for fruit trees if there is a
close, heavy top, reaching well down,
holding thus the moisture which evapo-
rates, and inviting parasitic Judgments,
which will appear in masses, mildew,
rusted fruit, etc. Herbaceous material
and ashes, with occasional bone-dust,
we have found the best application for
fruit trees in general, for berries, and
for the grape. Apply yearly where the
soil is not rich and in the spring when
the ground is dry enough to spade it
well. Use sparingly, if any, the strong,
heterogeneous manures.- Utica Herald.

THE Emperor Francis Joseph of Aus

Vienna, August 221, and was much interested

An important change in the wearing
apparel of the king of Dahomey is re-
ported. Seated on his throne, he re-
ceived a scientific commission, not long
ago, his body profusely decorathe with
the blue, gold and green labels which
had been carefully peeled from the
medicine bottles brought by Europeans
into his dominions. In such q pictu-
rescue garb, the African prince must
have equaled even the Offering costume
