The Portland Transcript tells of wo-
man Of Revolutionary times who, while
her husband was in the army, lived in a
log house on the banks of one of the riv-
ers of Maine, with only her baby, six
months old for company. The following
ing is given as a specimen Of the incl
dents OF her lonely life:
Near the house was stye, also made
of logs, and in it was fat hog. One
dark, rainy night she heard unmistaka-
BILE sounds of distress proceeding from the
hog stye. She was courageous woman,
as became soldiers wife, and, softly
laying her sleeping babe in its cradle,
she lit candle, and putting it in rude
tin lantern, wrapped herself in cloak
and went boldly out. She was miles
from neighbors. The solemn woods be-
hind, and the dark river before, not a
star to be seen nor sound to be heard
but the drip, drip of the rain and the
terrible cries of the fat porker, her win
tershope. "F
The pen was of logs without a roof,
and there was monstrous bear standing
on his hind legs, in the act of lifting the
frightened hog from his nest of straw.
She gave loud scream, and opening the
door of her lantern threw the burning
candle in his bearship's face. He let 60
of his prize and ran of in alright at this
singular mode of warfare, and she made
her way back In the darkness TO her log
cabin, there to await with fear his return.
But the morning sun shone on herself
and babe safe, and had 1t net been for
the deep wounds in the poor hogs fat
sides she would have thought it all a
| dream.

German House.

A Stuttgart correspondent of the
Louisville C0miey-voundt writes of house
keeping there as follows: "The noise of
uncarpeted floors is at first unbearable to
Americans. Ofcourse some of the very
wealthy use carpets, but several reasons
prevent their prevalent adoption. The
doors fit so closely that they would re-
quire to be planed off at the bottom to
admit carpet beneath; but perhaps the
most important consideration is the utter
absence of furniture-rollers. In such sim
pie matters as these, Americans miss
many little contrivances for household
comfort that are accessible to the hum
blest at home. The floors are ofdiferent
colors of oak wood accurately fitted to-
gether in small blocks to intimate mosaic.
The waxing is renewed every few weeks,
and the sweeping of such floors is follow
ed by frequent wiping with buckskin.
Large rugs in handsome patterns arc laid
in the most exposed places. White floors
are easily disfgured by every drop OF
water, and requires fortnightly scrub.
bings This involves whole days dis
comfort, TO say nothing of the herculean
task of moving the rollerless furniture,
and the annoyance Of having detachable
pieces wrenchcd off by clumsy cleaners
Then we miss the warm, dry climate that
so speedily effaces all traces of the scrub
bing brush. A days cleaning is follow
ed by a cold night, through which the
dampness is pcrceptibly felt"

Remarkable Tree Growth In San Ber.
nardinO.

We give the following from the Santa
Barbara Guardian, of December II, 1874:
awe are not going to exaggerate. We
went into DIR. Barton's champion nursery
with pole in one hand and tape in the
other. We made the measurements
can vouch for their correctness; and in
vite the skeptical to 60 and satisfy them
selves that we simply give the bare facts.
In this wonderful nursery arc Sicily
lemon trees which have grown from bud
since last spring, nine feet eleven inches
high each, and three inches in circumfer-
ence. And yet those trees have been
"clipped" off over two feet of stop"
each. In the orange nursery we measured
several trees over five feet high and
three inches in circumference each. And,
in general vigor and luxuriance of limb,
we know those trees are unequalled for
their age. Fig trees budded on other fig
stocks last March show an astonishing,
nay, incredible growth. Scores of them
are each over six feet high, with splen-
did yield of figs, and good figs, too. The
two-year old fig trees average about nine
feet in hight, and ten and half inches
in circumference, planted from six inch
cuttings. Slips planted last March have
borne excellent fgs-we tasted them
and average probably about five feet six
inches in hight and three inches in cir
cumference. These from eight-inch cut
tings. Several are over seven feet in
hight. Pear trees are of this years
growth. many of them seven feet high,
each. Almond buds grated on yearling
peaches have, since last spring, produced
trees many of which are each over six
inches in circumference, with from seven
to ten strong limbs in proportion. Hun
dreds of almond trees from seed last
spring are each over eight feet high and
about three and half inches in circum-
ference. There are $500 Of these splen-
did trees in all. We were shown peach
budded on another peach last spring,
which has grown from the ground to the
incredible hight of eight feet and two
inches, and strong and vigorous, too. Of
the two years walnut trees, many of
them are each over 13 feet high and
about ten inches in circumference. This
year alone, hundreds Of them average
eleven feet and six inches in hight.
There are about 1000 in the nursery.
We have not space to notice the remain
ing varieties in detail, but we can hon.
estly say with Baillie Sampson, that their
general growth is prodigious. Altogeth-
er, we doubt If there is q nursery in
Southern California that can make such
a splendid showing by rule and tape.

A Moral Well Pointed.

Our fire record for 1874 shows a loss
during the year of about $60, 0,000, 900 by
fire. 1t is not claimed that this record is
a complete one, having been compiled
from the daily papers as they came to
hand, and of course missing more or less
of the smaller fires of which no record is
made anywhere unless it be in some
local newspaper. $70,000,0 900 would not
he an exaggerated estimate of the losses
by fire in the United States for the year
1874. AS the Journal has before called
attention to the extent of this yearly
waste, so it desires to again, not that in
surance officers and agents can do any
thing about it except to exercise care in
selecting risks and in keeping rates up to
a paying standard, bat that the p,j bic
shall understand, so far as that public
may read this paper, that something be-
sides insurance is needed to protect
property. We are thoroughly careless
people, and from the time we lay the
foundations of building until we burn
il down from careless cigar or pipe or
defective fue, or other cause, we place
implicit trust in Providence. hoping
against hope that our carelessness will
not be visited upon us as we can not
help knowing ii should be. We hear
merchants and business men talk of high
premiums, and the premiums are high
Do those who complain ever stop tc

high premiums than can the country tc

His indecision saved our lives. The

Reaching stream, unbridged, running
between steep, rocky banks, he doubtless
halted not moment, but drove over
the brink, and was probably instantly
killed by the crash and ruin which fol-
lowed. His body, once so grand and ma

COOP manners, as has been pithily

They are doing to others as We would
wish to be done unto. A thoughtfulness
for the comfort of those about us,
pleasant smile, kind word, these are the
ingredients of which good manners are
chiefly composed.
NoTHING on earth can smile but hu-

A face that cannot smile is like bud that

Laughter is day, and sobriety is night,
and a smile is the twilight that hovers
gently between both, and more bewitch-

IT is related Of Frenchman, Count
Jaubert, who died recently, that he once
attacked Marshal Soult with number of
epigrams. The Marshal, meeting him at
reception ofthe Court OF Louis Philippe,
turned his back on him just as the Count
was coming forward to speak to him, and
in the presence of thirty people. Mons.

are not in the habit of turning your back
to the enemy" The Marshal held out
his hand, and the Counts success was
