Alexander, charged with forging cot.
ton warehouse receipts, made q full
confession of his affairs, to day, for the
benefit OF the public, as we'll rs his
creditors. he says the first forged
receipts were made last December, to
prevent his suspension or failure in
business, and that none have been
lssued since April. The whole amount
OF spurious receipts issued cannot be
ascertained, for it appears he made
new ones to take up old ones. In
July, he had nearly 1000 bales OF cot.
ton. with the proceeds OF which he
intended to take up the forged certifi-
Gates. The proceeds o; the cotton sold
to Phelps Brothers &c 90. would have
reduced the bad receipts one.half.
The total amount OF forged receipts
now out, he says. is $l67. 900, distri-

Island. His son, William Cobbett, has

Island. 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.prool
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.

Shelter for Tools.

The Farmers Union says: Snow
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,
a good harvester will last dozen years
with occasional renewal of the sickle. y

A Polish Wedding in Wisconsin.

When a 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
short, and at Il the close the
young man put his arms around
the young woman's waist and gave her
squeeze and kiss. At that moment
some one inside gave warning to the
boys outside, and fearful discharge CT
light artillery ensued just as the kiss
was given. The band began to plav,
and all marched out of the church and
through the streets to the place from
whence they started, the band playing
and the boys firing during the march.
All of these weddings are alike. The
bride is generally dressed in white, and
if there is not veil in the family she
buys or borrows one. The men wear
long serge coats, doubtless made dur
ing the reign of John Sobieski, and
some of the women wear dresses of the
same material. The young married
man, if he is able, has store coat,
After dinner the drinking of beer com.
menccs, and then dancing ensues. On
table in one corner Of the room is a
dish, into which every one who dances
with the bride is expected to deposit a
small sum of money, generally twenty
five or fifty cents, which is the BRIDE
dover. The fun is usually kept up till
morning. This was the case with yes
terday's ceremonies.-Milwaukee Wis

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 we'll 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
refined and intellectual society, he
outgrew his love for the simple girl at
home, and came to consider his Old, at
tachmcnt 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 uneventfui, and she had
plenty Of time to brood over the image
Of the absent one.
"A few years m,rc spent in France,
and then the young man came to Amer
lea to try his fortune as 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 a 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 little
more than a 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 days 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
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

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 few days more the
long.separated and strangely-met pair
were married. Several months follow
ed in the seminary, during which the
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 t.
share her fortunes with his. 1t is te
be hoped that the bride is as happy az
she had dreamed, and as for the fine
grained and chivalrous groom, our bes
wishes alone can attend him. J.M.B.

Milk as Well as Reef.

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 ha been grieved to see short horn
heifer unable to b, ing up her calf and
to require an inferior animal to be used.
MIR. 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 early 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 behad.
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 bullocks 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,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 So
small they could not produce half milk
ENOUGH to bring up a calf. 1t was not
thus with the early short horns--they
were almost universally great mixers.

waShinR.

Muslin dresses, even of the most del
icate colors, can be cleaned in ten min.
utes or a quarter of an hour without
losing their color. Melt half a pound
of soap in gallon of water, empty it
into a washing-tub; place near two
other large tubs Of clean water, and
stir into one 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 in the bran for a
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 a 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 ly 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
rinsins after starching is called clear
starching; none Of the stiffness, but
much Of the unsightliness of the starch
is removed in this way. The advantage
Of thus cleaning dresses instead o.
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, thu
process saves nearly all labor, and is s<
quickly done that any lady may man
age it for herself in the absence of :

Il Romance Of Real Life..L0ve,s
Ste0dfastnes~.

Every once in a while passage in
the history Of life is brought to light
viii IN is strange and more romantic
than any fiction. Notwithstanding the
industry of the Jenkins family, these
do not always find their way into the
newspapers. The announcement in the
New York papers, a few months ago, OF
the departure of certain vessel for
England recalled to those who were &C.
quainted with one of her passengers an
interesting story. This person was a
young German under 30 years old, who
had just completed period of teaching
in Berkshire county seminary, and
who was now with his newly-married
wife on his way to the Fatherland.
Some years before, in his native
Germany. this young man had fallen
in love with one of the blooming maid.
ems in the place where he resided, and
his attachment was ardently returned
by the young woman. A speedy mar.
riage would have been consummated
had not parental authority interfered.
The father Of the girl objected to the
bans, AMI did everything IN his power
to keep the lovers apart. In this dis
tracing state of affairs they did moi
elope, after the usual fashion, but the
young man, forbidden the house of his
beloved, bade farewell to his
country and passed owe,
into France, to forget, if pos
