q Gov. DIX EXPLAINS THE DEFEAT IN AD-
VANCE The Albany Journal publishes the
following story told by Gov. Dix himself two
weeks before the election with hearty laugh
over its ludicrous aspects:
He had just returned from a brief visit to
his country residence at West Hampton on
Long Island. His farm lies near the eastern
extremity of the great South Bay, where
was formerly an outlet connecting it with the
ocean, AS there now is at the western extrem-
ity. But the action of the sea and the washing
in of the sand has recently closed the eastern
outlet, and, as consequence, the fishing on
the bay is not as good as it used to be. Dur
ing the visit in question the governor was told
by one of his farm hands of n conversation
with one or two of the fishermen. He had
asked them how they were going to vote.
well" one of them answered, II hardly
know; like Governor Dix; think he has
been good governor; but times are hard; !;
business is dull; we don't average now more
than half an eel to a pot and don't know but
there had better be a changed"
When men are disposed to lay to the govern
ment the fact that they don't catch more than
"half an eel to pot" the result, in view of
the times, is not surprising. There has been a
good deal of this talk about a change" and,
in most cases. the reasoning was Just about as
good as that of the eel catcher.

branch of commerce. Every German steamer
that arrives at New York brings, it seems, "a
thousand or fifteen hundred of the little, yell
low feathered songsters." The aggregate NUN.
ber brought over every year amounts to between
10000 and 100000, worth in money about $780,

Adelina was the object of quite a curious oya-
ton in Liverpool recently. At q concert In that
city she sang waltz, called 'sLa Diva which
was redemanded, and lo! when it was over, the
Duke of Edinburgh jumped on to the stage
and, taking both the great cantatrice's hands
in his, shook them heartily in the presence of
the whole audience, which was, of course trans
ported ''beyond the present." and shouted with
delight.
Miss Maggie Mitchell has play in her re-
pertory called ''Lorle." 1t originally terminat-
ed in death scene. Recently the piece has
been rewritten, another act being added in
which the former is explained to have been a
dream. When the death scene ended one night
last week in Syracuse, almost the entire audi
ence arose and began to move towards the
door. Nearly half the audience had passed
out when the manager appeared and assured
them that the entertainment was not vet over.
Those who heard the announcement gladly re-
sumed their seats amidst much merriment
For some time past Senator Jones of Neva-
da, has been annoyed by the reception of anony-
nous letters rejecting on the name of his
fiancee, Miss Georgiana Sullivan. The first he
tore up, the second he treated likewise and the
third which came to his hand he carried to Eu-
gene Sullivan, the father of the young lady,
with the view of obtaining his aid in detecting,
if possible, the author of these infamous COM
municatons. The San Francisco Chronicle of
October 23d says their efforts resulted in fixing
the offence on lawyer named Lee j. Ransom.

Good Receipt for Curing Meat.


The following receipt is from the editor Of
the Germantown Telegraph, who recommends
it after many years trial. 1t will be useful
to our readers, at this season of the year:
To one gallon of water take II lbs. of salt,
lb. sugar, OF. saltpetre, ] OF. potash. In
this ratio the pickle can be increased to any
quantity desired. Let these be boiled to-
gether until all the dirt from the sugar rises
to the top and is skinned off. Then throw
it into tub to cool, and when cold, pour it
over your beef or pork, to remain the usual
time, say four or five weeks. The meat
must be well covered with pickle, and should
not be put down for at least two days after
killing, during which time it should be slight
" sprinkled with saltpetre, which remains
all the surfaced blood, &C., leaving the meat
fresh and clean. Some omit boiling the
pickle, and find it to answer well, though
the operation of boiling purifies the pickle,
by throwing off the dirt always to be found
in salt and sugar.

Many readers, are, no doubt, in state o
doubt as to what plants to select for their
winter hanging baskets and vases. For this
purpose we would strongly recommend the
Trop@olums. None are much better than
the T. L0bbianum and T. Schulzii, though 1
have had good success with 7. Peregrinum.
One trouble with these plants is, that with
many they lose all their beauty when their
tiums. These plants need free supply of
water, and do best in large baskets where the
roots have room. A large basket or vase
may be well filled by plant, each of Thun-
bergia Aurantiaca, Tropeolum, Convolvulus
Mauritanicus and Scypanthus Elegans.
Some would like to add Barclayana, but we
find it too delicate to struggle with those
which we have named.-H0rticultur

Ro1le as n Manure

The bones of all animal creation are COM
posed of three substances, phosphoric acid,
lime and gelatin or glue-three of the best fer
tilizing substances to produce good seed. But
where do the bones of animals come from?
Certainly from the soil, through the grass,
fore, every horse, bullock, COW sheep and hog
sent off the farm without returning like
quantity of bone to the earth, causes our land
to yield less and less every year till the land
becomes what is termed worn out. Besides,
every load of hay and every bushel of grain
sold off the farm carries away the same ma
terial, as it is the hay and grain that make
the bones of our cattle, horses, etc
Five per cent. OF all plants are composed of
ten mineral substances of which bone forms
a large part, and which comes directly from
the earth while the fat of animals is COM
posed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen,
three of the gases that plants take exclusively
