A Courageous Chief.

LETTERS from st. Petersburg speak of
Il remarkable feat of determination on
the part of Gen. Trepoh, the head of
the st. Petersburg police, who had given
in early life extraordinary proofs of per-
sonal courage. \ fearful double muir
der was recently committed at the mill
tary academy of the city by police
man, who, being attached to the female
servant of the doctor of the establish
ment, fancied he had cause to suspect
her of intidclity. Having entered the
doctors quarters to upbraid her, he
ended by taking up Il carving-knite and
killing the unfortunate woman on the
spot and then Staying the doctor himself
with it in his study. Here he locked
himself in with the instrument of his
crime and vowed he would dispatch the
first man with it who attempted to ar
rest him. The police summoned to the
spot were awed by his apparent de
termination, while some proposed to
shoot him us wild beast, and party
went in search of a fire-engine with u
view of drenching him into surrender
\ report of the occurrence reached Gen.
Trepoh. Springing into. the droschky,
which is kept ready for emergencies, the
General was on the scene in Il few min
utcs. He ordered the door to be burst
open, and then entered, unarmed. As
he expected the murderer rctreated into
corner prepared to sell his life dearly.
The General approached him unhcsitat-
ingly, with the words: Well, my friend,
you have committed pretty pair of
murders, and l hear you are going to
stick any one who tries to- take you.
Now stick me; for | have come on pur-
pose to take you myself" The wretched
man was so awed by the quiet and au
thoritative manner of his former SUI
perior that he lowered his weapon and
made no reply to the challenge, and two
of the police officers who had followed
Gen. Trepotf sprang on him and secured
him without further resistance. 1t is
not surprising the ST. Petersburg police,
in relating the story, declare their chief
to be the bravest man in Russia.-PM

Where meadows are composed of
mixed grasses, or, as is very commonly
the case, red clover and timothy, stock
will always eat out the best, leaving the
poorest They will seldom touch the
clover so long spear of grass can be
found, and of the latter the very best
species usually suffer most from late
pasturlng.
Upon very rich soils, where the after
math appears vigorous and thick, pas
turing for IA while in the autumn may
not cause any considerable injury to the
next years crop, but there are very few
meadows. and especially in dry seasons,
that will long Withstand the cutting of "A
crop of hay and close pasturing the same
season.
As general practice it would be a far
preferable system to top-dress Il meadow
soon as the hay is removed, and then
cut the aftermath, if sufficiently strong,
instead of pasturing. If dry weather
follows haying, the second growth will
be none too vigorous for giving strength
or protection to the roots in winter, and
if wet weather follows, the trampng of
cattle will be more or less injurious ac
cording to the nature of the soil and
kinds of grasses cultivated.
Thousands of acres of good, profitable
meadows are annually severely injured by
the greedincss of their owners in trying
to secure little ezra food for their
stock in autumn. If pasturage is likely
to fail during August and September,
better SOW corn, Hungarian millet, or
some similar plant to come in at this
time than to resort to the meadow for Il
supply of food.-N. \. SIN.

Best Organs on Most Favorable Terms.

The new terms offered by the Mason &
Hamlin Organ Company for the sale of
their celebrated instruments create dis
satisfaction with many dealers, who de-
clare that they will greatly injure the
business of selling other organs, espe
cially by peddlers. By these terms per
son is allowed to hire an organ, paying
only Il reasonable rent for it-having the
privilege, of course, of returning it at
any time after six months, or of pur-
chasing it at any time. If the purchase
is completed within a year the whole cost
of the organ is only ) to 10 per cent
more than if all cash had been paid
at the beginning.
Dealers say this is much too small a
difference for the accommodation in
time, and privilege of returning, given.
The Mason Il Hamlin Company are
determined to try the experiment thor
oughly at least, being confident that
their organs will prove so attractive and
satisfactory in use that scarcely any will
ever be returned to them. Circulars
with full particulars can be obtained by
addressing them in Boston, New York or
ChicagO.-Erch.

Now Eat Grapes.

GENTLE reader, do you know the value
of the grape2 We are not speaking of
the juice, nor of the wine which may
become mocker," nor of the brandy
which (still worse) may come to be Il
fatality; but our topic is the fresh, lus
cious, health giving grape. For the
elderly or the young people there is no
more hcalthful fruit. No fruit now in
market is cheaper; none is ever in finer
condition at any season of the year than
the ripe grapes of autumn. The various
small fruits, such as straw berries, cher
ries, raspberries and blackbcrries, often
get stale before they reach the hands of
many of our city consumers. Grapes
keep well for days and days. During
many coming weeks they will he album
dant and cheap.
Flour and meat we think we must
have; but for the bilious, for persons
troubled with the various difficulties of
the stomach, the liver and the kidneys,
grapes are grateful fruit, and at the
same time valuable medicine. For
children, for the delicate and for the ro-
bust, also, what autumnal food is equal to
nice, fresh, ripe grapes? And emphatic
ally we say that grapes are strong food;
that in them we have not only the most
healthful and the only naturally adapted
sugar, called by the chemist grape sugar
Infinitely superior to that chiefly exotic
product, cane sugar-being more digesti-
bic, more natural and more healthful,
especially for sedentary persons in
temperate climatcs), but we have also the
beautiful acids and a notable amount of
those heterogeneous essentials which are
blood makers, not to speak of the various
salts which have also become necessary
constituents of the blood.
We say again, now eat grapes. In the
country the writer of these paragraphs
has few grape-vines; one, an entirely
wild and natural vine, which bears grapes
as large as small plums. But he does
not raise onc-fourth so many grapes as
the mouths dependent upon him gladly
consume; probably not one-tenth so
many as they ought for their health, and
for a true domestic economy, to con
sumo. We write this to promote a double
interest. Our city people could cat
twenty times as many grapes as they do;
our country friends could find forty
times the encouragement which they
now have to send grapes to market; and
both classes would be Il great deal better

l don't want to boast, but there is
poetry in the way | make Dutch cheese,
and III tell you how to do it. | take
some sweet milk and stand it on top of
the stove in new tin pail or pan, shak-
ing it occasionally that the forming curl
may not settle to the bottom. / turn the
edges gently, that the curd may. form
evenly, taking care not to break it, and
not to let it cook too fast. If the heat
is about right it will be done in half an
hour Then / drain off the whey slowly,
pressing down upon the curd until only
whey enough remains in it SO that the
cheese will not be too dry, just moist
enough to mix well. ThenI salt to taste,
add good lump of butter and work
well with my hand, then pack it down in
Il crock, leaving all the moisture in it.
This is better than to press it into dry
balls. Set away in the coolest corner of
the cellar or springhouse. The poetry
comes in when preparing it for the table.
Take it out into Il deep white dish and
very carefully dip out and lay over the
top of it Il few spoonfuls of thick cream,
sweet or sour, but the sour is preferable.
Lay clean, bright spoon beside the
dish and your wholesome poem is
ready for criticism. Cold and white and

tie girl, barring the quantity of salt water
she had swallowed, was none the worse
for it. The wind now, as if by magic,
lulled To almost II calm, and just at this
suspicious moment two boats were
launched manned and successfully
landed at the bathing house.
All the inmates were now safely
brought over amid the cheers of the null
tiludc. With equal Suddenncss the wind
started up again, but now from a quar-
ter directly opposite to that which it had
been blowing, and for Il half hour con
tinued With fearful force. This sudden
change brought down the left wing of
the house, and n few minutes later the
right wing sank back and settled four or
five feet under water.

POPULAR FAILACY AND DECEPTIoNs.-
1t is an infirmity of man to cling to the
teachings of a past generation and to stub
bornly resist the light of rJorm and
progress. Uealth-reform and Temper
ance growth are jealousy watched over
by the Poison Bitters compounders. One
great prevailing deception of the present
age is the impression that every human
biped of either sex must be stinuldted,
and the poisoned chalice is labeled
" Medicated Bitters," the better to palli-
ate their use and prolong the epidemic.
One of the most Jealous workers to cure
this malady, DIR. JOSEPH WALKER, In
ventor and Proprietor of the famed CAL
IFoRNIA VINEGAR BITTERS, believes in
making Bittcrs that are . true medicine"
and advises the sick man to swallow Il
draught that will wash out the Leprosy
of his disease In this ,ftiM he is stead
fast, and his VINEGAR BITTERs, though
Il contradiction to the general character
of all other Bitters, are, as Il greW succ@ss
and Life Titalizer, evidence of one pop
ular fallacy and corrected.

sands suddenly swept into eternity by
this fatal maady. This disease generally has
its origin in impure blood filled with irritat-
