Salt and Cabbage.

A New Jersey gardner considers salt
necessary to the development of cabbage,
especially in places far from the coast.
He finds them more crisp,of better t1avor,
and to keep better when salt is used
than without. He used it as follows
"a i1f few days after setting out the plants,
and when they are damp, either after a
rain or when the dew is on, l take small
dish of the salt and walking among the
rows sprinkle a little pinch of salt on the
center Of each plant when the leaves be-.
gin to grow. I repeat the sailing, and
when the center Of the leaves begin to
form the head, apply salt again, scat.
tering it over the leaves; after this I look
them over occasionally, and if find
plants that do not head we'll and appear
diseased. sprinkle the salt over freely !;
this will save all such plants A quart
of salt is sufficient for five hundred plants
in season, although more can be used
with safety" - u

A Touching Eastern Story

The Paris correspondent of the DAILY
Graphic tells the following:
A very touching and beautiful story
comes from the East concerning the
Princess Marceline Czartoryaka who re-.
Gently died in Gallicia. Her little grand.
son fell very i'll and his life was despaircd
Of. The dowager in sublime prayer
asked God to take her life in place Of that
of her grandson. By sort of miracle
the child was saved; almost Immediately
the Princess was attacked by malady of
languor of which it was impossible to
ascribe any natural cause.
sit is debt I owe to heaven" she said
family. A few days later, upon radiant
afternoon, she had herself rolled out in
her easy chair on the lawn, and gave or
ders to have all the doors and gates of
the garden opened so that every body
might enter. When the villagers heard
Of it they at once left their tasks. Old
men and women, young men and maidens
and little children pressed about the dy-
ing Princess, who had long been like a
mother to them, for she held the old.
fashioned notion that the people are the
family of the sovereign.
Then began a most touching ceremony.
The children came first, Drawing the
youngest one into her arms, she EN-.
braced it, saying, t'Let this kiss fall again
upon you all, my dear friends Then
she gave each child medallion bearing
the evangelical words ':Love one anoth-
en-"
After the children came the young
girls and women. 10 each of them she
gave little case containing implements
for needle work and chaplet and an
image of the Blessed Mary. To the men
she gave an ebony cross, and for each
gift and recipient she had appropriate
words. When she had extended her last
present she was so exhausted that her
son and daughter.in-law, who stood by
her, wished to have her wheeled back in
to the house, but she said no. She then
begged the people to recite in a loud
voice the Dominica orison. Then, at a
sign from her hand, they all kne!t, and
their voices in fervent tones broke out in
the recital of the Lords prayer.
As the amen still echoed in the air she
felt death invading her heart, and whis-
pering ''Mareel," the name of her grand
I son, the child was brought, and as he
was being carried to her lips her head
dropped upon her breast, and without a
sigh she rendered her soul to God. So
much for scene that seems taken from
a poem-an Ideal state of society that
one can hardly reconcile with the pre-
sent.

Breckenridge and Greeley.
from the Baltimore Baltimorean.1

An incident of Breckenridge s latter life,
never before published, was related to us
day or two since by the Hon. Hester
Clymer, ut his charming home in Reading,
Penn. Mr.. Clymer had just received his
newspaper mail announcing the death of
Gen. Breckenridge as we entered his dwell
ing. and remarked upon the sad intelli-
gence, the relations Of these gentlemen in
Congress and elsewhere, having been ever
cordial and intimate. Said he: ''The last
time saw Gen. Breckenridge was few
years since. We we're sojourning at the
Clarendon Hotel, New York, a favorite
resort for prominent members OF the
Democratic party. I had been reading
the morning papers, and as Gen. b. en-
tered the breakfast room I remarked:
We'll, General, see you were down yes
terday to see Mr.. Horace Greeley, at the
Tribune Office His response was
instant and full of emotion"
eyes, SIR said he, 81 went down to see
Mr.. Greeley, and never have l made
visit that afforded me more genuine
pleasure, for never was a visitor more
cordially received. After the late unfor-
tunate war between the Northern and
Southern sections of the United States,

safety. While in Paris, cherries, friend

sions of regard and sympathy, and urged

tunes of the South and your country, and
I will be responsible for your safety, and
assure your immunity from molestation

Clymer, could have done otherwise than
call upon Horace Greeley, or shall I ever
cease to respect and cherish him :"

A Bankers Theory.


From the National Republican June ~
There is much sympathy felt for Mr..
Spinner among the banking fraternity,
but we do not think he will be compelled
to make the amount good; and, though
deprecating the serious loss to the de-
partment, we are not sorry that some
thing has at last called the speciel atten-
ton of the Treasury detective force to
the fact that there is some employee in
the neighborhood Of the cash room who
ought to be in Jail, or else there are sew

which $40, $40, $50, and 800 bills most
mysteriously disappear, and which ought

with red tape. For fully five or six years
back the banks in this city and else
where have had occasion to complain that

the Treasury. During the past two or
three years this has become more fire.

extra precautions have been taken by
some banks, and, in several instances
known to the writer, packages destined
for the Treasury have been counted and
verified By three different clerks these
same packages have been reported short

for the bankers. They have no choice
but to make good the reported deficit. 1t
is noteworthy fact that these packages
are never found to be over by the Treas

who have any dealing with the Treasury

Love for Love.

Ragged, dirty. ugly. He had fallen in
Che muddy gutter; his hands and face
were black, his mouth wide open, and
sending forth sounds not the most mu.

placed him against the wall. There he
stood, his tears making little gun.ers
down his begrimmed cheeks. Men Is
they passed laughed at him, not caring
for moment to stop and inquire if he
were really hurt. Boys halted moment
to jeer and and load him with their in

he did not deserve one; but if none but
the deserving had friends, how many
would be friendless!
A lady is passing; her kindness of
heart prompts her to stay and say kind
word to the boys who are joking their
companion and laughing at his SORROW.
Then she looked fxedly at the dirty,
crouching lad against the wall.

He removes one black fist from his eye
and looks up. He recognizes her. She
has taught him at the ragged school.

She had him examined. then taken to

kindly and frequently.
A year passes by.
There is fire one night. A dwelling
house is in flames. The engine has not
yet arrived. The inmates cannot be
rescued. A boy looks on. Suddenly he
shouts:
ooh, she lives here! -
Then he climbs up the heated, falling
stairs. He fights against the suffocating
smoke. He hunts about till he finds
what he sought. She has fainted-is dy-

Frank Carpenter Interviewed.

New YORK, June ll.--As to why he was
not called as witness, Frank Carpenter con-
firms the statement made by Mr.. Beach yes
terday.

that, without any shadow Of doubt, there
is somebody somewhere around there who
''hooks'' money, and who generally pre-
fers large bills. He may not be the
guilty one in the late bonanza steal, if,
after all, it should turn out to be steal:
but he ought to be unearthed neverthe-

will show perfectly clean hands in this
trying situation, we are satisfied that
their Jealous efforts to place the guilt
where it belongs will ultimately rid them
of an undesirable associate, and do the

How to Treat Wounds.

Every person should know how to treat
a flesh wound. Every one is liable to be
placed in circumstances away from surgi-
cal and veterinary aid> where he may
save his own life, the life IF friend or
beast. simply by the exercise of little.
common sense. In the first place, close
the lips Of the wound with the hands and
hold them firmly together, to check the
flow of blood, until several stitches can
be taken and a bandage applied. Then
bathe the wound for LONG time in cold
water.
SHOULD it be painful a gentleman
writes, ''take painful of burning Goals
and sprinkle upon them brown sugar and
hold the wounded part in the smoke. In
minute or two the pain will be allayed,
and the recovery proceed rapidly. In my
case rusty nail had made bad wound

The New Motive Power..tsCold
Steam.s9


OF late there have been frequent men,
tons Of new motive power, said to have
been discovered in Philadelphia, which is
to revolutionize the worlds industry.
The most ineligible statement that has
appeared Of the nature of the discovery
was recently published in Philadelphia
paper. The inventor, Mr.. Kelly, claims
to have discovered mechanical process
by which water can be converted from an
inelastic into an elastic fluid without
the aid of either fire or chemicals; and
this fluid which, for want Of better
name, is called cold steam, exerts force
greater than that of steam.
Mr.. Kelly first made his discovery
some years ago while experimenting upon
a power saving water wheel. TO test the
power that he had thus accidentally OBJ
tanned, Mr.. Keely made cylinder of
drawn copper; this he encased in wrought
iron, and around both he placed strong
steel bands, making cylinder Of
very great strength. The power was
then applied, and the cylinder was torn
III pieces instantly. Next a three-horse
power engine was built, and atterward one
of fifteen horse power. 1t is asserted
that these engines have been run every
day for year i'll the city of Philadelphia
without fuel, without chemicals, and at
cost of not one cent. It is further as
serted that scientific experts who have
seen the power tested pronounce it prac.
ticable, and say that it accomplishes all
that Mr.. Keely claims for it.
If all this is true, it is hardly possible
to cxaggeratc the Importance of the. dis
coyery. Among the advantages pos.
sessed by the new motor are these: First,
it is non-explosive. Second, it obviatcs
danger of fire, which, in navigation
especially, is matter of very great i'm.
portance. Third, it costs nothing, except
for the mechanism by which it is applied.
Fourth, it saves space as we'll as expense;
ocean vessels using it will not have halt
of their space occupied by great boilers,
and great heaps Of fuel. But it is not yet
established that it is all true.
