During all the panic Vanderbilt has
been soundly traduced. Yet when
the history is written up il viii be
found that he never had deserved As
well of the citizens of New York Is
now. he relieved the Lake Shore
road when he was under not the
slightsst Obligation so 20 do. He did
not owe the Union Trust Company
dollar, and yet by his liberal advances
he relieved the pressure, and probably
saved the depositors from utter loss.
In quiet way he is exercising bis
great influence TO ease the market and
effect settlements between parties, net
only to keep them out of litigation,
but to save them from immense loss
es. Men who have been accustomed
to speak Of Vanderbilt as a monopc-
list, as hard hearted, cold blooded,
tyrannieal man are changing their
opinion Of the great railroad king.
He is Disappointing no one who has
claims upon him. A Thousand Tnen
on the street would have been utterly
ruined but for the consideration, for
bearance, influence, aud liberality of
the Commodore.

Why, asks the Indiana Farmer, do
farmers wear such hard, heavy boots
The msjority Of these and otner out
door labOreTS wear coarse, heavy cow
hide boots, usually termed iistogss."
These are exceedingly clumsy when
they are new, and every time they
are worn in wet weather they become
harder and sitter, until they are as
unyielding as so much wood. / fre-
quenny read in agricultural Journals
directions for rendering boots water
proof such as giving them coating
of rosin, beeswax, taliow, ETC., all Of
which make the leather hard and
stiff, when the great necessity Is to
make IL soft and piiable. Ifyou want
TO have vet feet, wear thick, heavy
boots coated with this mixture. and
my word for il, you will be successful.
In my younger days I followed this
plan, and always had cold feet, and
my boots were 50 stiff and hard that
it was necessary to warm them before
the fire each morning before / could
get them on, but for some years have
followed different mode, and avoided
this trouble. Get pair of boots made
from what shoemAkers term a nrun-
ner,D have good, thick, double soles-
put on them. You may not be able
tofind q pair ready-mede with soles
thick enough, but you can have them
made to order. They should be as
heavy in the soles as ordinary stogas.
Before wearing the boots, give the
bottoms good coating Of tAliow, and
dry it In then oil the ''uppersS with
castor oil, shout one tablespoonful to
each boot; then oil them twice aWeek
with the castor oil, when one tes-
spoonful viii be sufficient '-'',
II the weater should be rainy, or
youare compelled to work in water
during the day, wash your boots dean
at night, hold them by the fire until
quite warm and oil them while wet,
and you viii have no trouble from
your boots getting hard and shrinking
up, 50 that you cannot get them on.
II the leather should become red give
acoat of ordinary shoe blaeking be-
for oiling. The effect of castor oil is
to soften the leather while II fills the
pores and prevents the water from
entering. a Cc viill = sE -sEl ]
{, I have stood in mud and water two
or three inches deep for ten hours
day for week without feeling any
dampness, or having any difficulty in
getting my boOt on or of. OF course
if they are kept constantly wet, they
must be oiled every night. Some may
think castor oil too expensive, but as.
go Little is required each time, the cost

The following curious story of lot
terry ticket comes from Viepns . In
1857 an army physieisn bought a lot
terry ticket which was subsequently,
stolen from him. The loss was i'm
mediately made known at the lottery
office, and the ticket was retired for the
prescribed period. Afew days ago this
lime expired, the number was drawn,
and, Strange to say, drew the prize of
600 fofins. The physician came
for his money, andat the same time
the original ticket was presented by
another man. He declared that he
had bought IL from banker in Wien
ma, a statement which was coon yeri-
fed. The banker said that he had
bought the ticket In 1870 from the we'll
known banker Schnapper, in Vienna.
This was found correct, and they de
cIared that it had been purchased in
1855 from a wDmang together with
uine other lottery tickets The wo-
mans name is not known. 1t would
seem that the declaration Of theft hav-

In his exhaustive work upon Nor
way and Sweden, Mr. Lloyd gives a
novel mode for attracting ducks,
which to the sportsman will prove a
most valuable hint. The fowler in
Norway, observing the birds, walks
as near to them as he can with safety,
when, falling on his hands and knees,
he approaches cautiously. At the
same time he causes his Well-trained
dog, who should be Of q reddish color,
to gambol before him, which he ef-
feets by now and then throwing the
animal a cTumb Of bread. The ducks,
attracted by the antics of the dog,
gradually approach the strand, and
thus the man is enabled to fire with
effect. The idea was taken from
watching the movements of the fox.
This shrewd and willy fowler prom
lenades near the waters edge, some
times vaulting high in the air, and at
Others crawling on his belly, his
brush meantime trailing on the
ground. These maneuvers so excite
the curiosity and tickle the fancy of
the duckhngs that they gradually
swim toward him, occasionally so
near as actually to seize hold of his
tail with their bills; but they paw
dearly for their temerity, for the
crafty fellow seizes his opportunity,
and Immediately pounces on one or
the other of them. ''To the devices of
the fox,n says aSwedish gentleman,
II have been an eyewitness, and it
was only last autumn that my bailiff
shot pne of these animals in the very
act. OF Oeguiling young ducks in the
manner described" The plan might
be tried with good results by some of
