The New Postmaste General.

The new Postmaster-G General, Marshall
Jewell, comes of family noted in New
England for their energy and success.
He was born i'm Winchester, N. H., Oc-
tober "a, 1926, but early in life accom-
panied his father to Hartford, CT, where
the greater part of his lifo has been
passed. His father, Pliny Jewell, was a
tanner and currier, and into the myster-
les of this trade young Marshall was put
to work at an age when most boys are
pursuing their elementary studies at
school. The boy worked faithfully and
we'll, but as he grew to mans estate
there grew up within him desire to EN-
bark in business on his own account.
Accordingly he learned the art of tele-
graphing, and was engaged as an opera
tor at Rochester and afterwards in con-
structing and experimenting telegraph
lines between Louisville and New Or
leans. At this time, when he had
reached the grade of General Super.
intendent, an offer of partnership was
made by his father, and he removed to
Hartford, and in 1850 began the bust
ness of manufacturing leather betting
Success attended him here as elsewhere
Ills encTpy anu Sklil WcIc lclJ ds sOOh ~
he had put his shoulder to the wheel
The business and reputation of the house
rapidly increased, wealth poured in, and
Marshall Jewell became recognized
power in the community in which he
lived.
Mr.. Jewell was nominated and elected
Governor of Connecticut in 1869, ant
again in 1871 and in 1872. Thrice elect
ed to this high Office, he discharged hi
responsible duties with universal accept
ance, and quite unexpectedly to himsel
the President nominated him on the 20tl
of May, 1873, to succeed James l.. Orr a
Minister to Russia.
In personal appearance Mr.. Jewell i
one of the handsOmest men of the day
and no one can exceed him in courtes,
of manners. He has travelled exten
sively in this country, Europe and tn
far East, and has availed himself thor
oughly of all advantages thai offered 70
education and culture. Though not
college graduate, he is well informed OF
all subjects and makes an admirabl
after-dinner speech. The appointment
of Mr. Jewell to position in the Cabine
is as gratifying to the people of Ne'
England as it is acceptable to the natio
! at large.

Cork is the bark of small evergreen
oak which grows in Spain, Portugal,
the south of France, and north of Africa.
This tree lives to the age of one hun
dred and fifty years. The cork is first
taken from it when it is from fifteen to
twenty years old: :.
A cut is made around the trunk at
the surface of the ground, and another
Just below the branches.
Several perpendicular cuts are then
made from one circular cut to the other.
The cork is obtained by inserting blunt
instrument underneath it. If the inner
bark of the tree is injured the tree will
die.
When taken from the tree, the cork is
slightly charred or scorched. This inn
proves il by closing the pores and causes
h to be more easily fattened by pres
sure. This scorching also gives the cork
dark color and burnt odor. Cork is
light, compressible, elastic, and imper-
vious to liquids.
Cork is used for making life-boats,
cork-iackets, corks for bottles, and some
times for the inner soles of boots and
shoes

Mixing with Strangers.

The effect of mixing with new people,
who have new ideas and new methods of
thought, is very salutary. Always to see
the same people, do the same thing, feel
the same way, produces stagnant con-
dition of the mind and heart that is very
distressing to behold. There are
thousands of invalids who might be
greatly benefited by getting away from
home, if only for a short time, to mix
with strangers, and be touched with the
magnetism of the great world as it
courses in its accustomed rounds. And
there are mental and moral invalids who
need the same change, to get their minds
and hearts enlarged, and let in a little
more of the lights of life. Outside in
Auences are very valuable by healthful
influences in early youth, so that they
can avoid the SHARES and pitfalls into
which those who go blindly often fall.

jar; these must be corked and sealed
to make them alright, and it is good
plan to turn the jars bottom up oc-
casionally, for few days, after they
are first put up.
PUDDING WITHOUT EGGs.--Rice, large
pearl sago, and tapioca, are best made
without eggs. Sprinkle little of any
one of the above at the bottom of q
pudding dish add little sugar, and
fill up with milk. Stir well before
placing in the oven. To the sage add
small piece of cinnamon, broken up.
The rice must cook for four hours, the
sago and tapioca about three. Skim.
milk will do if you can not spare new
milk.
CRACKED WHEAT.---Rinse thoroughly
with cold water two teacups of wheat
add four cups of cold water, place the
basin in steamer and cover closely. In
half an hour or SO, stir and salt to taste
Let it steam four or five hours, stirring
one or twice. Good hot, warm or cold
for breakfast, dinner or tea. Eaten
with milk, or cream if you are FORUM
ate enough to have it. Many use lit
tie sugar with this and with the Graham
pudding.
MUTTON CUTLETs.--Take a piece o
the best end Of neck of mutton, saw
of the bones short, trim off all super
fous fat, then cut out the outlets
again trim them one by one, removing
spurious fat, ETC., and beat them gentl.
on both sides with a outlet bat dipped
in water. Place them in a dOubl,
gridiron, and grill them on or in from
of a fierce fire, turning them twice
during the process. When done sprinkle
with salt, and arrange in circle will

A Sure Thing Perhaps.

Another cure of hydrophobia is re-
ported to-day. This was in the case OF
a young woman of Hoboken, who having
been bitten by mad dog two weeks pre-
viously, was taken with the very worst
symptoms of the rabies A physician
was called in, who found her in convul-
esions. He at once inserted the lancet,
taking from her no less than sevepty-five
ounces of blood. This was the only
treatment, and it is asserted that in five
days thereafter the patient was conval-
escent. If this statement beaccepted as
true, we can no longer regard canine
madness a blood disease, since there
must have been more poison left in her
retained circulation than she received in
the bite, and the disorder should have

verse is the 9Th verse of the 111th Psalm.
The 21st verse of the 7th chapter of Ezra

except the letter j. The finest chapter
to read is the 26th chapter of the Acts of
the Apostles. The 10Th chapter of H.
Kings and the 37th chapter of Isaiah
are alike. The longest verse is the 9th
verse of the Sth chapter of Esther. The
shortest verse is the Both verse Of the
18th chapter of st. John. The 9Th,
18th, 21st and 31st verses of the 10th

Impeaching a Landlord.

During the winter in which An
drew johnson was impeached cat
the bar of the House," Z. p. Whip.
pie, of Boston, was on a lecturing
tour in the west, and, among other
places, he spoke at Bay City, Michi-
gan. Havingno engagement for the
following evening, he spent the day
in viewing saw mills and salt works,
in company with the editor of the
Republican paper published at that
place. Returning to the Fraser
House at dinner time, they met the
landlord, of whom Mr.. Whipple in
quired if any news from Washington
had been received in the forenoon,
to which negative answer was re-
turned. The lecturer turning to the
editor said, "Let US impeach the
landlord"
Gall right" responded the editor,
"where shall we impeach him ?"
"At the bar Of the house, of
COURSE" was the reply.
The impeachment was promptly
entered upon, and with comforting
success.

Much Married and Divorced.

Andrew Robbins, seven years ago
a prominent and respected citizen of
Chicago and doing good business,
has since, through drink, had a
queer experience. His wife about
that time began to suffer from his
abuse, and got a divorce from him.
She was reconciled by his promise,
and married him again, and second
time was divorced. And all this actu-
ally happened third time-married
three times to the same woman and as
often divorced He then married an
other woman, and she got a divorce.
A year ago he married again, his
fifth marriage, and celebrated last

Robbins should be put where he
can't marry any more women, as he
may rise to explain that he never
was wicked except when married.

STOP AND THINK.
BY. P. T. DoDsON.

Oh, how often are we thoughtless,
And how little do we care!
For the fate of those around US,
Or the burdens they may bear.
We forget, that some are treading
Here perdition's awful brink;
And that we may help to save them,
IF we will but stop and think!
If we'd think before we utter,
Words of censure, casting shame,
We might save ourselves from trouble,
And not cloud another's name.
We could make our lives much purer,
And from pleasures cup oft drink
If we were not quite so selfish,
And would only, stop and think
We must wage cor slant warfare,
With our passions and our pride;
Never yielding to the evils.
That beset on ev'ry side
To the right, we must be faithful,
Aud from duty never shrink;
And when things cross our pathway,
We must learn to stop and think
We can plainly see the atom.
That obstructs our brothers. eve;
While our own great faults and failings,
Seem to pass. unnotlced, by.
Though our sins may. be far greater,
Yet we pass them with wink;
And are often found complaining,
When we ought to, stop and think
If we'd meet the Judge with pleasure.
We must choose the path that's straight
II we'd have eternal favor,
We must watch, and think, and wait.
We must learn to trust In Jesus,
And our own base nature sink;
And when tempests gather round US,
We must learn to stop and think!

it is the one great curse of man. But

is nothing but braggard at the best,
and has doubtless forgotten the whole
conversation with your father, or if
he has not he has probably thought
better of it, and very lil'ely will be

"Oh! no, Charlie. He will never
do that. He is lost to all respect and
decency. No | fear he will yet give
us trouble, But promise me, that

will not get in his way. If he should
