The f~avorite steamer A. J. White, in
command of that popular officer and ex-
perienced boatman, Captain George Ma
lone, leaves this evening for Vicksburg
and the bends. in place Of the Illinois,
giving strict attention to all way bust
ness and making close connection at
Vicksburg with packets for New Orleans.
The White, during her retirement, has
been newly embelished from the pilot
house TO the hull, and is now one Of the
staunchest, best and most beautiful
packets hat plies the Western waters.
Her cabins are painted snow.white, with
the exception of the m~ouldings, which
are handsomely -gilded, presenting a
pleasing contrast; her new velvet carpet.
ing. of the finest material and most at
t%ractive patterns; the magnificent furni-
ture with which the cabins and state
rooms have been supplied; the uphol-
stering, done in the latest style, aud the
fine new linen all combine to make the
White one Of the most comfortable as
well as magnificent passenger packets
that runs the Mississippi. Her machi-
merry has also been overhauled and put
in the best Of condition, and with such
careful and experienced engineers as are
always employed on the White, passen-
gers need apprehend ut danger Of acct.
dents. Captains Cheek and Malone have
spared neither labor nor expense in
bringing the White up to every reasona-
BILE requirement of a travelling and ship
ping public. Captain A. L. Cummins,
who by his courtesy and prompt atten-
ton to business, has endeaFed himself to
the people in the bends, is her chief
clerk, and is assisted by one Of the beat
clerks on the river in the person Of Char
ley Smither. No steward on this or any
other river can excel Morris Herman in
his line of business, and he has labored
industriously to improve the appearance
of the cabin Of his pet steamer, and
with what success, we leave the travelling
public to judge. He assures us that his
tables shall always be supplied with
the best Of everything to be had in the
markets. The A. ]. White is now ready
for the fall and winter campaign, and we
bespeak for her a large increase in the
liberal patronage she has heretofore re
ceived.
The beautiful appearance Of the White
is due to the taste and skill of that &C
complished artist, Mr.. Thomas Demmons
who designed aud executed this magni6.
cent job of painting. Whenever a boa
is to be painted or otherwise ornamented
Tom Demmons is always engaged, as il
is well known to all stsamboatmen that
he is par excellence in his profession
We have frequently had occasion to make
mention ofthe elegant style Of work dom
by this gentleman, but in this instance
we must say that he has surpassed al
his former efforts.

Another Unjust

On Wednesday last Superintendent
Barrett discharged two of his street car
drivers upon the charge of permitting
ex~-pstrolman W. S. Rogers to ride free.
Mr.. Rogers is canvassing the city and
distributing bibles, and has to ride con-
sidersbly upon the street cars, but be
always purchases tickets and puts them
in the box. Some one having falsely re-
ported the drivers to Barrett, the latter,
with his usual style of injustice, dis
charged the men and threw them out of
employment. Mr. Rogers denies en-
phatically that he ever rode in these
a r without paying, and be so informed
Barrett, but the latter has failed to rein
state the drivers. Such acts deserve
public censure, as it is oppressive on
Woodworking and poor men.

When the Chipmucks go to Work.

About Aug. Is they commenced to work
in real earnest. Instead of the playful
careless creatures that lived from hand to
mouth they became very busy and sober
indeed Instead of keeping comparative
ly near home they wandered quite a dis
lance for them, and filling both cheek
pouches full of corn, chincapins dwarf
chestnuts) and small acorns, home they
would hurry, looking, in the face, like
children with the mumps. This storing
away Of food was continued until the first
heavy white frOsts, when the chipmucks,
as member of Congress once said, went
"into state of retiracy"
The food gathered, we believe, is con-
sumed in part on their going into winter
quarters, they spending some time in their
retreats before commencing their hiber-
mating sleep. This belief on our part, is
based on result of digging out third
nest on the Sd of November. The last
time we noted down seeing chipmuck
belonging to certain nest was Oct. %.
Twelve days after we very carefully
closed the three passages that led to the
nest and dug down. We found four chip
mucks very costly fixed for winter in a
roomy nest, and all of them thoroughly
wide-awake. Their store of provisions
was wholly chestnuts and acorns, and the
shells of these nuts were all pushed into
passages so that there should be no litter
mingled with the soft hay that lined the
nest How long this underground life
lasts before Information readily COM
mences it is difficult to determine; but as
this torpid state does not continue until
their food supply is again obtainable out
of doors the chipmucks, no doubt, store
away sufficient for their needs throughout
the early spring, and until berries are ripe.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

Picked Plums.-To every quart Of
plums, one pound of sugar and one pint
of best vinegar. Melt the sugar in the
vinegar: tie spices of all kinds in fine
piece of muslin and put up with the
vinegar and sugar. When boiling put
in the plunis and give them one good boil.
If you wish to keep the fruit whole prick
with a needle before cooking.
The ideal dish of raw tomatoes is
thus prepared: Choose only those which
are large, comparatively smooth, firm, and
thoroughly red-ripe-it is an absurdity to
offer small or immature specimens In a
salad, and if you can't find such as here
recommended you must not attempt to eat
raw tomatoes. Put them in tin pan and
pour over them boiling water, pouring it
off Immediately. This so loosens the
skins that they can usually be pulled off
easily without any violent application of
the knife. Then with very sharp knife
slice them across, discarding the first
piece, which has the hard base of the
stem, and the last piece, which is too
small. Make the slices thin rather than
thick, keep them large and whole, and
pile them carefully in layers IN pretty
dish, delicately sprinkling salt and pepper
over them. Then put them away to get
thoroughly cold in your cellar or refriger-
ator. Prepared thus they are simply am
brosial and only pagan could scorn them.
If anybody wants to add sugar and vine
gar to the seasoning that can be done at
table by the eater. Slices OF the large
yellow tomatoes scattered among the red
sometimes make the dish look very tempt
ing.--I7ater- Ocean.
The Physiological Journal says: If
the only good that a boy ever did about
the farm was to repair the pump, hang
gates, make mole traps, put in rake teeth,
file the saw and hang the grindstone, and
he did these things we'll, obviously the
farm is not the place for hin-but a ma
chine shop is. If boy will walk half
dozen miles after the days work is done
to hear political speech; if he takes
time from play to attend trials before a
Justice of the Peace, and sits up half the
night when he is going to school to learn
declarations which bring down the house
at spelling schools, most likely he will do
the world more good if you put law
book and not manure-fork into his hand.
If he earn more money in trading jack
knives and fish-lines on rainy days than
he does in hoelng potatoes and cutting
grain in fair weather, give him chance
at the yard-stick and not have him around
troubling the other boys who are handling
horse-rakes and pitch forks and the like
employments. Again, if boy is sklllful
in SHINING small animals and stufing
small birds; if he practiced making pills
of mud when he was child and extract
ed teeth from the jaws of dead horses with
pincers when he got older; if he read
physiology while his brothers are deep in
Robinson Crusoe," he will be far more
likely to succeed with lancet than with
a scYthe.

THE farmers as class do not desire to
mar the recreation of any class of men,
and do not object to honorable sportsmen
killing off a portion of the game if they
are only met in a proper spirit. The rule
is that the man of genteel leisure starts
out into the country, armed and equipped
with all the modern appliances for killing
game, and with the idea that he is going
among class of men who are beneath
him in point Of intelligence and import
ance. Instead of passing in at the front
gate and asking permission to shoot over
the stubble and pasture-felds or uncalti.
waited portions of the farm he skulks in
from the rear, travels through the growing
crops, leaves gates open and fences down
where cattle may enter, and if game is
found, shoots in all directions, regardless
of frightening horses at work or of injur-
ing the men engaged in cultivating the
farm or gathering the crops; and when re-
monstrated with these men of leisure re.
taliate with profane and insolent language
and threaten violence to any person who
dare stop them in their pastimes, and not
unfrequently fill their game bags with
poultry that may have strayed from the
barnyard.
Now let us see how farmers are treated.
When they have occasion to go to the city
or village they are frequently scoffed and
sneered at by the same genteel idlers, who
sit with heels elevated upon hotel or tav-
ern stoops, their turnout, dress and per-
sonal appearance subjected to the most
ungentlemanly criticism
If they should attempt to trespass upon
private property an officer has them by
the neck and marches them off to the sta
tion-house like a convicted felon. If he
comes for the purpose of selling the prod
uce of his farm, he is made to pay rental
for standing his wagon in the filthy gutter
of some narrow street, as is the case in
New York city, where they pay market
fee, but are liable to be removed by an
officer upon complaint of any huckster or
curbstone speculator who may choose to
set down a few barrels or crates upon the
sidewalk.
After such treatment as this, it is but
natural that hostile feelings should be en-
gendered. and if the sportsmen desire to
enjoy the sport of the field unmOlested,
they should interest themselves and see
that the farmers are treated with some
consideration, rather than attempting to
pass arbitrary laws in our legislative halls.
/ hope that the sporting men may adopt
milder measures to secure the enjoyment
they so much desire, and interest them
selves in having those privileges accorded
to the farmer which in justice he is en-
titled to.-Jo2t'a O'D0nneU, IN IugT, Field
