A PARTY of Icelanders. numbering
twenty-five adults and eight children. ar
rived at Portland, Maine, from Kin
mount, Ontario, last Saturday, and left
for Halifax on the same evening. Last
fall they immigrated from Iceland, but,
finding little to do, concluded to join
the Icelandic colony near Picton, Nova
Scotia, to work in the mines.

TEGETABLES COOKED WITH SALT.
Vegetables which are cooked In clear
water are quite different in taste and
smell, and particularly in their degree of
tenderness, from what they are when
cooked in water and salt. This may be
especially remarked in the case of onions,
which, when cooked in pure distilled
water, are comparatively tasteless and
odorless, but which, when cooked In
sailed water, possess quite different,
somewhat sugary flavor, and decided
onion smell. The reason of the differ
ence is that salt diminishes the solvent
qualities of water SO that more of the
soluble substances of vegetables are re-
tanned through cooking them in salt
water. Vegetables are also rendered
more tender by the salt, and their proper
taste is often improved. Water contain
ing 1-423 of its weight In salt is much
better adapted for boiling vegetables
than clear water.

The PROPER Cultivation Of Corn.

Illinois is Il typical corn growing
state, and the following statements of
the regular correspondent of the Coun.
try Gentleman Will be read with inter
est at this critical time
Corn cultivation has been vastly i'm
proved within the last ten years
nearly twice the amount of work now
being done than formerly. To pillow
deeply; to harrow smoothly to plant
with eheck-row planter to roll after
wards, if the ground is dry to 90 over
with a sharp toOthed harrow, Just as
the corn begins to show above the sur
face; to go once in the same way a see
ond time, to begin blowing as soon as
the young shoots are from three to four
inches high, and to keep on blowing,
first in enc direction then the other,
till four or five plowiDgs have been ac-
complished, or till the height and heat
half smothers and drives the team out
of the field; these operations, all and
singular, are now looked upon and
practiced as necessary, in order to Sc
cure a successful and paving corn crop.
If June is as favorable as May has
been, by the LIST of July the corn crop
of the west will, in the estimation Of
farmers and business men, be considered
as pretty well assured, and from that
date business viii revive, and by the LIST
of september will be unCer such q
headway as to suggest and realize the
flush times of ten years ago. BY the
LIST OF July, too, our tax paying trials
will be over for the year, and we shall
get SIX or eight months relief from that
curse of corrupt local governments, ex-
brilliant taxation, laid for the purpose
of giving them an opportunity to steal,
and collected to continue and perpetuate
the fraud.

The parson steered the lunatic and the

Albeit she was a tough customer, the

and the quenchless birthstone fire
until she wilted and made an open con-
fession. She had several times worn
these boys clothes on the late masters
business. In fact, he had procured them
for her. She had worn them the last
time on Sunday night, when she deliv-
cred the note to young Carleton. She
wept violently when the parsOn said he
did not believe her story, and threaten
ed to have her arrested.
a. assure you, sir, it's all true, !" she
said, weeping violently " L haven't
told no lie, sir, here is the very letter

THE BROKEN DOLL.

Blue eyes. with their long, dark lsshes
Half yelled in q fearful mist,
And o. such pitiful culver
On the sweet little mouth kissed;
Twas only childish sOrrows
And yet how keen WIS the smart
As she held up her precious dolly
BrOken-the pride Of her heart.
In my arms folded her closely
AS I whispered in confident smile,
" Don't cry, dear. IN soon have 1t mended ;"
But her tears fell faster the while,
And she sobbed. 80, thank you, dear suntie,
But that won't do for you see
If you menGed i5 ever so nicely

She had spoken, that sorroWful baby,
And deeper truth than she knew,
And thOuRht, with her head on my shoulder,
OF its meanings as sad as true;
1 thought of the shattered treasures
We prize in maturer years,
OF the hopes, the loves, and the friendships
We mourn with such bitter tears.
I thought how we gathered the fragments
With labor as fond as twas vain,
just TO find that the MARKS of the mend1ng
Could change all our Pleasures to pain;
Just 10 learn that the patched-up treasure
Could never be precious again;
And sighed as thought of the hesrtaches
Our broken dolls left in their train
All mel what a dismal story
Our lives would tell at the best,
If, content with our fair, fraii playtbinRs,
We made them our stay or our rest;
If we looked not above for our TIRE asures,
UnEhadOwed by time or decay;
And this is the lesson our Father
Is teaching us day by day E. T. @.

maj New Motor.

The new motor, not only as a fact,
but as useful and enormous addition
to the sum-total of human happiness, is,
1t is claimed, almost within the limits
of realization. 1t is confidently pre-
dicted that, within thirty days, a train
of Pullman cars will be drawn from
Philadelphia to New York without
steam, electricity, hot air, or any other
motive power. This, indeed, is a sub
stantial promise, the basis of which can
easily and soon be examined. The new
motor, as We took occasion TO explain
some weeks ago, was invented, or dis
covered, by John w. Kelley. Since
our frat statement sOue new develop
ments have been made. The whole
matter, it appears, is in the hands of
stock company composed chiefly of
Philadelphia and New York capitalists,
who have paid in $3.50, COO. and hold
stock to a nominal value of 81 ,0O0, 600.
They are perfectly sanguine of the sue
cess of the enterprise, bu' ere not them
selves in possession of Keeiey's secret.
There is reason to fear therefore, that
possibly the ingenious Kelley may not
be a public benefactor after all and

$4,000 pounds which has been attained

COUNTERFEIT TELEGRAMs.

Ingenious Device TO Obtain a Mans
signature and Raid His bank Ac-
count.
For ingenuity and holiness combined,
st. Louis records an instance which
stands way up in the first part of the
class. The swindle in question was
detected by Mr.. J. K. Cummings, pro-
prietor of the st. Louis glass-works.
At an early hour young man of bust
ness-hke air called at the house of Mr.
Cummings. Next the early visitor
brought forth a book. He gave the
book and the two envelopes at the door,
telling the servant to deliver the book
to Mr.. Cummings and have him sign
for the kilograms. AS the kilograms
we're prepaid, he had no hesitation in
signing on page, where, the book was
made to open by means of an elastic
band. The numbers on the kilograms
were written, and opposite each of these
numbers, further toward the edge OF
the page, was rectangle enclosed IN a
black border, of sufficient dimensions
to admit long signature. Over each
of these rectangles was printed the word
signature" in large black letters. Mr..
Cummings unsuspiciOusly wrote his
name within the first rec!anRle, and was
proceeding to do likewise in the one be-
low, when he noticed that that part OF
the paper touched by his pen appeared
to move slightly, while the rest of the
leaf remained stationary. This looked
queer, and Mr.. Cummings looked closer
at the book, and discovered an ingenious
fraud. That part of the leaf which was
enclosed in the lower portion of the
rectangles had been carefully and
smoothly cut out, and with a white
n Il IA 1
discover that the leaf was not perfect,
That part in the interior of the upper
rectangle had been cut above and below,
leaving the ends intact, 80 that piece
of paper could be slipped in through the
slit on one side and out at the other,
thus filling the space with a counterfeit
blank for the reception of the signature,
A blank check of the Butchers and
DrOveIs' Bank, in which institution
Mr.. Cummings keeps his bank account,
had been very ingeniously folde aud
placed under the leaf, so that while the
line for the signature of the check came
directly into the lower rectangle, the
other end of the check passed through
the-slips above in such a way as to
present to the signer Just that portion
of the check where an endorsement is
usually written. When MIR. Cummings
signed the first blank he endorsed the
check, and, had he signed the other, he
would have given his signature to the
check. Had the check been fastened
by little mucilage, so as too keep It's
place, it is highly probable that the dis
covery would not have been made. Mr..
Cummings, as soon as he saw the fraud,
ran to the door and called to the servant
girl to hold the messenger for moment
till he could get down, but the young
man. who was, of course, eagerly watch
ing for any signal of danger, dashed out
| IN the street anu made his escape.

The Mexican Border.

Wholesale and Barefaced Robbery
Twelve Raiders Killed by Texan
Troops In "A Battle above Brownsville.
A Brownsville dispatch of the 18th,
says q IN. Ste ele and Maj. Dryer left
yesterday for Rio Grande City. Capt.
McNeely and part of his company are
below watching for raiders now on this
81 e. The Mexicans report the crossing
of fifty beeves below here Wednesday.
Sergeant Hall went to Bagdad to see
the beeves Gen. Oortina is shipping to
Cuba. Many of them have American
brands. A large pile of bides with
American brands await shipment. The
man assis ting to ship them saws the
beeves were stolen from Texas. About
100, 900 pounds of dried b eff are ready
fer shipment, undoubtedly American,
as the Mexjcans do not raise enough
beef to supply their own market. Hall
was closely watched, and succeeded in
taking only about twenty brands. Sun
day morning Gen. Cortina left Bagdad
with seventy-five men. Above here the
cattle stealing is terrible. Oxen are
driven off almost daily. It is reported
Gen. COrtina's resignation has been
accepted. The supreme government
has determined to remove him from the
frontier. Cortina don't intend to go.
1t is reported Gen. Steele gave orders
for rangers not to cross the Rio Grande
on account of the e1asperated feelings
of the Mexicans and the danger that
they would lay waste the country be-
tween Neuces and the Rio Grande
before force could be sent there to
protect them. The war feeling is strong
on the Mexican side.
Capt. McNeely, of the state troops,
with few of his men, puFsued and
after a forced march OF twenty-five
miles overlook band of twelve cattle
thieves about twelve miles above this
place. They showed fight, and in the
engagement which ensued the whole
band of raiders were killed. McNeeIy
lost one man killed, Berry Smith, two
horses killed and one wounded. He
recaptured $50 head of stolen cattle.

A BEwITOHED CLoCK.-They have a
clock bewitehed on exhibition at Paris,
Ky. The clock is q remarkable one
from its manner of construction alone,
but it has one popularity which even
its maker does not explain. 1t requires
no mending, being run by electricity,
and will run for an indefinite period.
The Oddity about the thing was discov-
cred by Mr.. Clark, the maker. Point.
ing the fore finger of his right hand at
the clock, he was surprised to note a
cessation of It's m tor, and about
equally surprised TO see it start running
again when the fore finger of the left
hand was pointed at It. The expert
ment has been repeated a great many
times with the same result. Even ut
the distance of six or eight feet, with q
plate-glass window intervening, the
effect by the motion is the same. The
electricians can send in their explana-
tons of the phenomenon to MIR. CLARK.

SWEEPING CARPETS Floor coverings
are great source of discomfort, and
often of disease, on account of the dust
they continually give off when disturbed.
The lungs become irritated with these
particles of dust, which often result in
disease. But carpets we will have, and
the best thing is to keep them as clean
as possible with the least raising of
dust. Tea leaves are excellent, if moist,
to segregate, the dust in pellets without
spottin9 the carpet. Indian meal is ex
cellent to scatter over the cloth before
sweeping. But the most effectual plan
is to take equal parts of meal and salt,
sweeping off Immediately, before the
salt becomes Dissolved in a moist atmos-
phere. Salt Is a great absorber of
water, and becomes quickly moist, thus
entrappipg the minute particles of dust
and preventing them from rising. Dur
ing these house cleaning times when
carpets are taken up, revealing a great
amount of fine dust, it is well TO sprinkle
the floor thickly over with damp salt
before sweeping. In any case where
sprinkling is usually employed before
sweeping, damp salt is far better to use.
