The Currency.

WASHINGTON, May 3l.-The confer
ence committee on the currency bill
Senator Morton, Sherman and Merri-
mon, and Representatives Maynard,
Farnell and Clymer) had a session
of several hours yesterday but did not
complete the consideration OF the bill.
1t may be stated with confidence,
notwithstanding the secresy of the
committee, that nothing positive has
been so far agreed upon, but that there
is now considered to be good chance
for final agreement. 1t is probable
that the rate of retirement will be
fixed at or above 33 per cent. rather
than below that figure.

A large black hump-back whale,
about forty feet in length and thirty
feet in central circumference, assembled
the Raritan River last week. and ran
on the shoals about two miles above
Perth Amboy, where the receding tide
left him high and dry. In his efforts
to get ailoat, the whale dashed the
water furiously with his tail and flip
pers, attracting the attention of num-
Der of men employed in the surround
ing fields, who attacked him with guns
and pistols, without, however, produc-
ing much effect. Sharp iron rods were
then procured, with which the eide of
the whale were punctured, and he bled
slowly TO death.

Shelter for Tools.

The Farmers Union says: "Now
that harvesting is over, take care Of the
tools. A harvester that costs $500 is
too expensive piece of machinery to
lie out in all weathers, expose! to wind,
sun and rain. One Of our correspond
ents some time since made the startling
announcement that on an average they
did not do over two months work be-
fore they were worn out,-estimating
that two weeks labor was got out OF
them each year, and that in four years
they were used up. Now this
ought not 50 to be, and yet it is or
par with much Of the farming in the
West. Build shelter, be it ever so
cheap, and store your machinery in it
the first thing after getting your grain
in the stack. Take out the sickle, oil
it, and lay it away for safe keeping in
your house. Clean thoroughly all the
metal work and rub it over with tai
low, to save rusting, for this not only
destroys your machine, but causes fric.
ti,>n, which will rack it to pieces when
it is next needed for use. And as soon
as you can, paint it over. Paint pre-
serves your wood and keeps it from sun
cracks and rot. If it is sheltered and
painted, and kept from rusting, and the
nuts properly screwed up when in use,
q good harvester will last dozen years
with occasional renewal Of the sickle. y

1slsnd. His son, William Cobbett, has
long been endeavoring to introduce the
growth of corn into England, and it
seems that he claims to have succeeded.
We learn that upwards of three acres
of this acclimated corn is now growing
at Houndslow, near Lopdon, and that it
has successfully withstood some severe
frosts with great hardihood, and is now
very promising. If our neighbors in the
East have really produced frost-proof
corn so prolific as it is made to appear
by the sounding title given to it, and
which we have quoted, it will go to
shake our faith in our permanent de-
pendence upon Europe as market for
our surplus crop Of this cereal, and on
the contrary, cause us to look thither
for supply of seed of so valuable a
plant. But we are somewhat doubtful
as to the truth Of this statement.

A Polish Wedding in Wisconsin.

When Polish maiden gets married,
the more noise and excitement there is
gotten up for her amusement, the bet
ter she likes it. Yesterday, wedding,
after the Polish style, was celebrated in
the first ward at St. Hedwig's church.
A procession was formed and marched
through the principal streets of the To-
cality to the tune of national airs and
the firing Of guns. First came the band
(which, in some cases, ranks according
to the old gentleman's purse); second,
the bride and groom, followed by the
bridesmaids and groomsmen; then the
parents, relatives and invited guests
followed in couples. A number Of bows
were scattered from the house to the
church, and they kept up continuous
firing of guns and pistols. When the
procession arrived at the church, the
band stepped aside and the party en-.
tered and was seated according to
marching order. The bride and groom
then took their places in front Of the
altar, attended by the bridesmaids and
groomsmen. The ceremony was

sible, in new scenes and occupations, his
fraulein. Several years followed in
giddy, fashionable Paris, in which the
self'exile gained some knowledge Of the
world, as well as made acquisitions to
his studies in music and languages.
After time as he developed into
larger manhood, and his native abili-
ties, adorned by culture, drew him into
q refined and intellectual society. he
outgrew his love for the simple girl at
home, and came to consider his old. at.
tachment as mere boyish passion.
This would have been all we'll enough If
the '.girl h. left behind had only
shared in this growth and change. So
far from that, the years only strength
ened her affection. Her life had been
quiet and uneventful, and she had.
plenty Of time to brood over the image.
Of the absent one.
A few years m,re spent in France,
and then the young man came to Amer
lea to try his fortune as a teacher in
our schools. A year or two more pass
ed, in which he was successfully en-
ployed in the Berkshire boarding school.
His ability, good looks and address
made him favorite in society, and he
on his part found the American girls
quite as interesting as their German sis
ters had been. Just here, and a little
more than year ago, he received let
ter from the father of his early fame,
informing him that his daughter was
still deeply in love, that she was indeed
utterly disconsolate and miserable with
out him, that she was likely to die of
disappointment if she couldn't marry
him, and, most astounding of all, that
she was coming to America that she
would embark alone in few davs for
New York, where she hoped to be met
by her old lover. Probably quite diff.
ferent conclusions would be arrived at
by different persons as to the duty of
the young man in this most painful
dilemma. The girls father had de.
nounced him, utterly refusing him for
a son-in-law; forced to separation, he
had gradually outgrown his love, com.
ing finally to rejoice in the circum-
stances that had forbidden him to ally
himself with woman untitled to be
his life.companion. What was he to
do? The girl was already on her way
to New York. Unattended, totally
ignorant of our language and customs,
the steamer on its arrival at the city
would turn her adrift. 1t took our
hero but short time to decide. Obey
ing conscience that most would call
over.sensitive and morbid, he went to
the metropolis to meet the. solitary
German girl at the wharf where she
landed, and, in a few days more the
long.separated and strangely.met pair
were married. Several months follow.

ignorant wife gained some practical
knowledge of English, and then the two
sailed away for the old world, the hus-
band to fulfill an engagement to teach
in German institution, and the wife to
share her fortunes with his. 1t is to
be hoped that the bride is as happy as
she had dreamed, and as for the fine.
grained and chivalrous groom, our best
wishes alone can attend him. J.M.B.

Milk rs Well as Beef.

During recent discussion at meet
ing of English breeders on the manage
ment Of short horn cattle, the chairman
said: Zone great fault of short horn
feeding had been that they had looked
too much to beef and too little to milk.
He hal been grievcd to see short horn
heifer unable to bling up her calf and
to require an inferior animal to be used.
Mr.. Thomas Bates and other breeders
used to boast about the milk as we'll as
the beef producing qualities Of their
animals, but this was not so now. The
object of the carly breeders of short
horns was not to have fashionable herds
but animals in the best condition. The
miners and we'll paid artisans would not
buy those great Jumps Of fat, but as
prime mutton and beef as could be had.
What the farmer now wanted was the
class of stock fit to bring into the mark
ct as early as possible, and which
would bring the greatest profit. What
was wanted was to produce two year
old brllocks as prime as they formerly
were at four years." Our own breeders
would do we'll to need the above obser-
vation; for too many of them, m,especially
at the west, have latterly greatly neg.
lected the milking qualities of their
short horns, paying almost exclusive at.
tention to them for beef. We have re-
peatedly seen the first prizes at our cat.
tie shows awarded to cows that had but
two or three serviceable teats, and to
others whose uddcrs and teats were 60
small they could not produce half milk
ENOUGH to bring up calf. It was not
thus with the early short horns--they
were almost universally great mixers.

Washing.

Muslin dresses, even of the most del.
icate colors, can be cleaned in ten min.
ates or quarter Of an hour without
losing their color. Melt half q pound
of soap in gallon of water, empty it
into washing-tub; place near two
other large tubs Of clean water, and
stir into one a quart of bran. Put the
muslin in the soap, turn it over and
kneed it few minutes: squeeze it out
we'll, but do not wiring it, lest it get torn !;
rinse it about quickly y in the bran for
couple of minutes in clean water.
Squeeze ou: dry and hang it between
two lines. A clear, dry day should be
chosen to wash muslin dresses. Half a
dozen may be done this way in half an
hour. The last rinse may be prepared
in the same way as the rinses for wool.
en- fabrics. A colored pattern on a
white ground must not be blued.
The bran. may here be dispensed
with. When the dress is dry make the
starch; for colored muslin white
starch, and unboiled, but made with
boiling water, is best for muslin dresses.
Stir the starch with the end of a wax
candle; dip the dress; hang it again to
dry. When dry rinse it quickly and
thoroughly in clear water hang it to
dry again; sprinkle and roll it up; af-
terward iron it with very hot irons.
Hot irons keep the starch stiff. This
rinsing after starching is called clear
s:arching; none of the stiffness, but
much Of the unsightliness of the starch
is removed in this way. The advantage
Of thus cleaning dresses instead Of
washing them is, first. if colored, the
process is so rapid that there is no time
for the colors to run; secondly, the
fabric is not rubbed, and therefore not
strained and wern out; thirdly, the
|,process saves nearly all labor, and is SO
quickly done that any lady may man
age. it for herself in the absence of a
