The BenderS OutdOne.

The Pail Mall Gazette says: can
interesting little establishment has just
been broken up at Trebizond, under
circumstances which have created, if
not scandal, at least a sensation in
that place. 1t appears that for some
time past Trebizond has been kept in a
ceedings of this household, which con-
sisted of a father, six sons and one
daughter. Delightful as was the charm
which reigned over their domestic circle,
it did not extend beyond the hearth, for
unfortunately the family weakness was
murder. In brief space of time the
eight persons composing the family
managed to get through no fewer than
235 murders. Out of this number the
gentlemen of the family were each re-
sponsible for thirty murders, while the
young lady committed twenty-five,
though, but for the premature interior
ence of the authorities, it is considered
probable that she would have completed
an equal number. The predecessors of
the present Governor most ungallantly
caused her to be arrested, together with
her amiable parent and four of her
brothers. It is not stated what became
of the remaining brothers, but the poor
old gentleman was hanged about three
months ago, and two of his sons met
with similar melancholy accident on
the 25th of last month. The other two
and the young lady are still languishing
in captivity, and much anxiety is felt on
their beha ali; for, unless the local Judges
take lenient view of their offenses on
account OF their youth, they have but a
poor chance of resuming their position
in society. Altogether it is sad story,
and it is not surprising that these young
people and their misfortunes have of
late been the talk of Trebizond.

The First Grapeyine-A Grecian LIE
gend.

When Bacchus was boy, he Jour-
neyed through Hellas to go to Naxia /;
and as the way was very long, he grew
tired, and sat down upon a stone to
rest. AS he sat there with his eyes
upon the ground, he saw little plant
springing up between his feet, and was
so much pleased with it that he deter
mined to take it with him and plant it
in Naxia. He took it up and carried it
away with him; but, as the sun was
very hot, he feared it might wither be-
fore he reached his destination. He
found birds skeleton, into which he
thrust the plant, and went on. But in
his hand the plant sprouted so fast
that it started out of the bones above
and below. This gave him fresh fear
of its whitening, and he cast about for
a remedy. He found lions bone,
which was thicker than the birds skele-
ton, and he stuck the skeleton with the
plant in it into the bone of the lion.
Erelong, however, the plant grew out
of the lions bone likewise. Then he
found the bone of an ass, larger still
than that of the lion; so he put it into
the lions containing the birds skeleton
and the plant, into the ass's bone, and
thus he made his way to Naxia. When
about to set the plant, he found that
the roots had entwined themselves
around the birdie skeleton, and the
lions bone, and the ass's bone and as
he could not take it out without damag-
ing the roots, he planted it as it was,
and it came up speedily, and bore to his
great Joy, the most delicious grapes,
from which he made the first wine and
gave it 10 men to drink. But behold a
miracle When men first drank of it,
they first sang like birds; next, after
drinking little more, they became
vigorous and gallant like lions (; but
when they drank more still, they be-
gan to behave like asses.-NeO York

Advice to Wisconsin Reformers.

DIR. 0. W. Wight. of Milwaukee, to
whose efforts more than to those of any
other individual in the State the success
of the party at the last election is due,
has issued an address to the Reformers
and Changers of Wisconsin. In the
main, the suggestions he offers are
timely and wise. He holds that the
principles on which the party was formed
must be maintained, and cautions the
members against being led away from
them by the cunning devices of artful
politicians. He especially counsels the
nomination of good men as candidates
for the Legislature.
every candidate" he says, "should
be of unquestionable character
suspicion of venality. Send no man to
the Legislature next winter whom you
would not intrust with the administra-
ton of your estate. Look out for the
agents of monopolies and venal politi-
clans. Admonish your legislators, when
you have chosen them, to act with pru-
dence, caution and justice, and do not
encourage them to indulge in vengeance
for past injuries and to act with the
recklessness of property-rights from
which communism is born" "AbOve
all, ;" he adds, "do not wait for outside
managers to come in and run the cam
paign for you. Go about your political
work in every town, village, county and
city as though it belonged to you alone.
Dependence on leaders begets helpless
ness and destroys all independence of
action" This address is worthy of the
most careful consideration by the Re-
formers of the State. If they pay heed
to the counsels volunteered, they will
carry the State by an overwhelming
amioritY

Buel street was the greatest, the hand
OF a man was seen projected above the

Lobster.Canning at Mount Desert.

The process of canning Holsters at
Mount Desert is thus described by the
Boston Traveller: "The factory at
Southwest Harbor, Mount Desert, when
running at full capacity, puts up 1000
cans day, employing about fifty hands.
Until within a short time plenty of lob
sters have been taken about the ha. Dor,
but now smacks are used, which cruise
round and purchase of various parties.
The price paid at this time is about 81
per 100 pounds. The smacks bring in
10, 900 or II, 900 pounds at time. The
vessels are built with two decks, with
perforated bottoms, so that the fish are
preserved alive and fresh in their native
element. Upon the arrival of the
smacks the Holsters are dumped upon
the wharf in big piles. They present a
curious appearance, biting and clawing
at each other, until they are shoveled
into great kettles of boiling water. They
are then dipped out, broken up, and
the meat taken for canning. The big
claws and tails are the only parts used.
The cans contain one pound. A liquor
is made of the contents of the body OF
the lobster, strained, and prepared with
salt and cayenne pepper, and small
portion put in each can. After solder
ing, the cans are boiled two hours and
a half, when they are taken out, a little
hole made in the top to let the steam
out, then tightly sealed and boiled
again. The cans are then vanished
labeled, and boxed for market. Lob
sters are not now very plenty, and are
rather small. The parties who set the
nets Gull out the large ones for Boston
and other markets.

A Good Lesson

If your boys revolt from study, give
them an opportunity to test the
pleasure of manual labor, and then let
them follow the occupation they prefer.
In nine cases out of ten, books will
carry the day. "When I was a boy"
said the elder Adams, 81 had to study
the Latan grammar, but it was dull,
and hated it. My father was anxious
to send me to college and, therefore, l
studied grammar till could bear it no
longer, and, going to my father, I told
him did not like study, and asked him
for some other employment. It was
opposing his wishes, and he was quick
in his answer. well, John, if Latin
grammar does not suit, you may try
ditching, perhaps that will. My
meadow needs ditch, and you may put
by Latin and try that This seemed a
delightful change, and to the meadow l
went. But l soon found ditching harder
than Latin, and the first forenoon was
the longest ever experienced. That
day ate the bread of labor, and glad
was / when night came on. That
night I made some comparison between
Latin grammar and ditching, but said
not a word about it. I dug the next
forenoon, and wanted to return to Latin
at dinner, but it was humiliating, and I
could not do it. At night, toll con-
quered pride, and I told my father
one of the severest trials of my life
that if he chose, I would go back to
Latin grammar. He was glad of it ;
and, if / have since gained any dis
tinction, it has been owing to the two
days labor in that abominable ditch.

A PrecOciOus Heifer.

Mr.. VIM. R. Warren, one of our most
substantial and intelligent farmers,
living near Madison, gives us a remark
able case of heifer in his possession.
She is two years old this spring, and he
began to notice in the fore part of May
that she was "making a bag" and
feared that the swelling was the effects
of hurt, but thought he would milk
her. Ever since the 10Th of May the
heifer has been giving a fine mess of
good, Iich milk, and she seems to be
veritable mich COW, to all intents and
purposes, without ever giving birth to a
calf, or exhibiting any signs of bovine
maternity. She is a mixture OF the
Durham and Devon breeds, and bids
fair to make a most excellent mixer,
though she could not just now be re-
commended for breeding qualities.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Driving His Clover TO Market.

DftElnS his 0lOtcI 10 rlaThCss
The following extracts appeared IN a
recent number of the San Francisco
Bulletin :
jackson Wilcoxen, of Yolo county,
lately sold 100 fat steers for $50 head.
We met him while driving about one
third. the first installment, to Sacra-
rnento. The purchaser received them
at Mr.. Wilcoxens's farm, but Mr. Will
coxen helps drive them to Sacramento,
where they will be put on the cars for
Oakland. The cattle bring the seller
the nice little sum of $3.50, and the
delivery will cost him three trips to
Sacramento on horseback. In these
cattle Mr.. Wilcoxen was driving his
alfalfa to market. He was for the last
ten years been raising Alfalfa and driv-
ing it in this way. His trips to Sacra-
mento will probably cost him about s.
each, making the expense of getting
$50 worth of alfalfa to market but S15.
eff we reckon his alfalfa at so ton,
the steers viii carry, in condensed
form, 635 tons to market, at a cost of
S15. 1t would have cost to deliver the
same III its original bulky condition at
least So per ton, or 50, IT'S, half of what
the steers came to. We mention the
fact as an illustration of the great adj
vantage of reducing bulky materials
produced on the farm to more COM
pact form before marketing the same,
and another consideration while these
steers have been growing up, they have
been enriching and improving the land
from which they have obtained living.
The man who sells his hay in bulk, car
ries away with each crop part of the
fertilizing properties of his farm, and
will finally exhaust the fertility which
alone makes it valuable. Let our farm
ers reflect on the lesson conveyed In the
above facts"

Beet Sugar i'm California.

1t has been announced that the Alva-
RADIO sugar-works have been removed to
Sequel, near Santa Cruz. The object
was to get Ia III a. S15, and to sell their
Alvaraao r properly for 5000 per acre.
The company has always found good
profit IN making sugar from beats.
Another company is being formed by
Mr.. Dyer, a landowner, to put up new
and improved sugarie of equas capacity
on the same grounds.
The Sacramento sugarie has over ],
900 acres OF beets in luxuriant growth.
The yield Will probably be 20 tons to
the acre, equal to 1000 tons of sugar,
valued at profit of $500, 900, including
the molasses for distillation and the
cattle feed. No industry can show so
good return fer the capital invested,
with so little work or complication.
Negotiations are being made for the
construction of a one-hundred-ton beet
sugarie by capitalists of Portland, Ore
gon. The works are to be of the Rob-
ert Diffusion Process. The Sacramento
company has this process but Mr..
Robert has made great improvement.
by which nearly one-third part of the
heavy machinery is dispensed with, and
the cost of making SUGARS reduced.
We hear that it is the experience of
our two sugaries that there is no profit
to the companies in raising their own
beets. Farmers can do it cheaper.
They are well paid at $3.50 per ton
delivered at the mill, which is cheaper
than the factory can raise them. By
this division of labor, sugar making is
simplifed, and less capital is required
To cultivate 1000 acres of beets re-
quires considerable capital, which, by
this division, is furnished by the farm
ers. They ask no pay till the beets
are delivered and the sugar is being
made. Then the terms offered are hal
cash and half at 60 and 80 days.-Sa'

the vines by worms is not nearly so
great as has been reported. Mr.. Sacket
thinks that, from present appearances,
the crop will be five times as large as
last year, and that, in all, probability,
10000 barrels will be shipped from Ber-

single or Double Lines I'm Flowing.


Thousands of farmers have never
seen horse or pair of horses driven
in another way than with the ordinary
double lines. Other thousands have
never seen anything else than single
line used in blowing, either with one
or two horses. Recently a correspond
ent of an agricultural paper asked how
this was done. In the South we have
seen teams driven with rope tied to
one side of the bit of one of the mules
or horses, but usually the line is fast
ened to rein somewhat longer than
the usual check rein. A loop at the
other end is provided for greater con-
venience in holding the line. With a
little training a horse learns to be
guided by this as readily as with the
double lines. A steady pull turns to
the left; light jerks to the right. A
person accustomed only to this line
finds the double reins an inconvenience.

Sketch from Dickens Life.

A letter from London to the Arcadian
gives little news about the separation
of Charles Dickens and his wife, the
story being revived by the mention that
Wilkie Collins was about to rewrite his
drama of 1.-THE Frozen Deep into q
story. This was acted in 1859 at Free
Trade Hall, Manchester, in aid of the
Douglass Jerrold fund. Dickens, Col
Inns, Shirley Brooks, Mark Lemon, and
many other celebrated writer's took
parts. The ladies' characters were in
terpreted by professional actresses.
Among these was Miss Ellen Ternan.
She was fresh, pleasant Hooking girl,
not especially pretty, but possessing a
good figure and an extremely agreeable
manner, and at first sight she and
Dickens were mutually infatuated.
Their love was Platonic one, of course,
but Mrs. Dickens didn't like Platonic
love under such circumstances. Miss
Ternan left the stage at Dickens re-
quest, soon after the Manchester tour,
and short time after the party returned
to London, Mrs. Dickens went into a
fashionable jewelers. at the West End,
where she was in the habit of dealing,
and was asked by one of the firm, who
knew her well, how she liked her new
bracelet. She said that she did not
understand him, as she had not received
any such article. The gentleman then
explained that it was one Mr.. Dickens
had ordered for his wife, with a like
ness and some heir in it. This was
Platonic love of the wrong kind for Mrs.
Dickens, and she speedily withdrew
from the firm"
