kept the good dame pretty busy, she pre-
scribed for any of her household that we're
indisposed, compounded her own remedies
and made stores Of scented bags TO lay
away among her linen, manufactured rose
mary and violet water, herb water for weak
eyes, and plasters and lotions and oint-
ments of all kinds.
The author of John HALIFAX, Gentleman,
in her recently published volume says:
"If we want really good servants we must
make them such. We must bring them
up, even as we bring up our children, with
the same care and patience, making allow
ance for the nice distinctions of character
in every human being, and, above all, hay
ing the same sense Of responsibility, though
in lesser degree, that we have concern
ing our own family. TO this end, 1t is ad
visable 10 take young servants, which
most people object to. They prefer domes.
Tics ready made-tha is, made 10y other
people, who have had all the trouble of
training them. But these can never suit
us so well, or have the same personal al
tachment for us, as those we have trained
ourselves. For l hold-strange doctrine
nowadays-that personal attachment is the
real pivot upon which all domestic service
turns. II may sound very ridiculous that
lady should try TO win the hearts Of her
cooks and house maids, and gentleman
trouble himself as 10 whether his coach
man or gardener had a respectful regard
for master Yet otherwise little real good

The Boston Commercial Bulletin tells the
story of retired dry goods merchant Of
that city, distinguished for his "deport-
ment," who is said by The boys TO have
been equally distinguished when in "lhe
trade" for selling apparently unstable
goods, upon which the statesmen of the
house had exhausted their efforts. II is
related that at one time large lot of alpac-
as hung fire badly and could not be placed
by anybody. At last "tha old man. took
them In hand, and, waiting the arrival Of
the buyer of a large retail house in one OF
the New England cities, blandly proposed
to sell Mr.. Tradewoll himself. Tradewel
was complimented by this mark of distinc.
ton, ard started of briskly on his hill Of
goods. Presently the head Of the house
laid his hand clrelessly on piece Of al
pa3a, and said:
"Mr. Tradewell, We have got three or
four cases Of these fine a'pacas, small lot,
Boston trade have not taken them yet !;
rather too fine perhaps for your city, but If
you would like TO monopolze the line of
goods think we might place the entire
three to you al fOuy-twO cents. There are
three cases of these goods, Edward, are
there not?" ITO an attendant youth)
Now the boy had witnessed the old mans
craftsmanship with open muuthed adnira-
ton, and, when it came TO placing the hard
old alpacas at forly-two cents which had
failed TO find acustomer at thiry-hve cents,
he eagerly responded:
Eyes, Sir, there's three eases here N ten
more up stairs"
Tradewell "Iumbled" 10 the boy at once,
and srinned quietly while the old man,
settling his stock and swallowing an imas-
mary mouthful, said blandly:
every well, Edward, very well; but
another time you need not tell me things
that do not wish 10 know. Mr.. Terms,
will you take Mr.. Tradewell now ?'

Many people who contemplate moving
to the Northwest are not aware that thous-
ands of acres of the richest government
lands, near line of railway, too, may be
had by simply occupying them, under the
Homestead or Tree-planting Act, or OF the
railroad companies on almost as easy con-
ditions. The st. Paul and Pacific Railroad
penetrates one of the richest paris of the
State, and is doing great work in OPEN
ing up 10 settlement those vast prairies and
woodlands, furnishing land and homes 10
thousands of settlers almost without price,
certainly requiring very little ready mon
ey. All the time required for payment is
given, and al a low rate Of interest. One of
the objections-perhaps the only One--to
habitation on the prairies west Of the tim
Der belts has beenth they are without
timber. This disadvantage is being over
come by planning -uees-an enterprise
which was initiated in that section by Pres
ident Becker, and is now under the super
vision of Hon. l.. b. Hodges, who intro
duced tree-planting into the State twenty
five years ago, and has demonstrated its
entire feasibility by repeated experiments.
1t was commenced along this railway in
1870 for the primary purpose OF creating u
snow break, the trees being set IN rows on
either side of the track in places most liza
BILE to drift, two rows 10 form a more eff
ieclive break. The experiment has proved
a decided success, and the work is now
prosecuted with Iigor. The company has
set out over 100000 trees 100000 have
been pisuted on thetreeless prairies of the
Slate. air. Becker, 10 encourage private
enterprise, opened farm on The prsiries,
and is planting on large scale at his own
expense. Many kinds of trees grow very
rapidly-often fifty TO sixty feet high, and
twenty-five to thirty inches in diameter, In
from fifteen 10 twenty years time hard
woods, six TO eight inches in diameter, in
from seven TO ten years. time. 1t is claim
ed by Mr.. Hodges that trees can be planted
at cost of less than one-third of a cent
each the first year. This device will pre-
vent the snow drifting on the track, sup
ply timber aud fuel for the use of the road,
besides enhancing the aslhetic effect.-L.

The FIRST BABY IN CALIFoRNIA.--It
was the Fourth Of July, and Downievillc
celebrated. The stars and stripes floated
from peeled and lofty pine, and the cho-
rus OF the anvil had re-echoed through the
hills. The house was crowded with the
miners poet, reader and orator had per-
formed their parts, and the RI Gently -organ-
lied brass band was giving in bosterous
resonance some popular national anthem,
when suddenly there burst out the feeble
wall Of an infint-tirst low, then swelling
out In all the defiant strength of baby
lungs. The band put forth its loudesl
strains the baby melted TO renewed exer-
ton, ledoubled its vipor. II was nip and
tuck between band and baby. The young
mother did her best to divert the child and
hush him, when from the audience there
uprose brawny miner, aud shaking his
list at the music cried: FLUSH that id
internal baud aud give the baby a chance -
The band stopped its playing, and never
did stalwart men listen To sweeter music
than those exiles flom home aud women
Us they drank in the tones of the wailing
child. There were tears in many an eye
The child was pushed upon its mothers
breast, and at the word there went up three
rousing cheers Tor the first baby of the
northern Sielras.

A LITTLE MISTAKE ABOUT THAT OLD
WINDSOR BANK RoBBRRY. The papers
have been telling what some of them call
very romantic story, to the effect that some
forty years ago Thomas Emerson, Prcsi-
dent of the Old Windsor Bank, in Yer
mont, was suspected of robbing the bank
of about $50, 900, and was tried, found gull
ty, and confined in Windsor Jail r many
years. A few days ago, as Col. II. Harlow,
of Windsor, was removing an old brick
oven in his house, which was formerly oc-
cupied by the Cashier, Klltredge, he dis
covered somewhere between $4,000 ard
$1,000 of the missing money in brick
vault under the oven. The inference nat
urally drawn from this imperfect lnforma-
ton was that the Cashier stole and conceal
edthe money, and that Emerson was i'm
prisoned without cause. But the Burling-
ton Free Press quietly spoils the whole
story by giving the facts, which are these
"Mr. Kittredge never was Cashier of the
bank; Mr.. Emerson was never accused OF
robbing the bank, and was never tried
found guilty, and confined in Windsor
jail for the oilense; and finally there is
no jail in Windsor. Thomas Emerson
was President of the Windsor Bank, and
his nephew, Rnfns Emerson, was Cashier.
The senior Emerson was also member of
the firm OF Emerson & Lamb, formerly
Emerson, Lamb & Harvey, the junior
member being Peter Harvey, the famous
merchant aud friend of Daniel Webster,)
of Boston, who acted as redeeming agents

Some good mothers fly TO the camphor or
peppermint bottle on the slightest provoca-
ton. Camphor is the more dangerous drug,
but both are capable ofdestioying life. AS
generally used, in The form OF an alcoholic
tincture, their potency is in no wise dmin-
ished, but rather increased by the addition
of another olson.
Peppermint oil, from winch the essence
is made, is powerful stimulant, and its
capacity for harm is by no means incon-
siderable. liberation of the stomach has
been induced by it, and many diseases
have followed its habtual use.
Camphor is poisonous gum.r resin, capa-
BILE of readily inducing great nervous irri-
tation. When taken in small doses it has
much the effect of alcohol or opium. In
large doses it occasions spasms and death
In any appreciable amount it irritates The
mucus membrane of the stomach, and
leads to constipation and liberation. Even
few doses of this drug may lead 10 incu-
rable dyspepsia. Yet thousand of families
fly TO the camphor bottle for relief from
every variety of pain.
1t were thousand times better that ev-
cry camphor bottle in the land should be
broken rather than that its contents should
be unfortunately employed. The po-
tent drug ought never TO be administered
internally, except by a competent person,
familiar with its power.
1t would be good thing If mothers could
learn to depend upon water-cold, tepid or
hot-to relieve a very large percentage of
all bodily pain. There is nothing so inno-
cent; nothing so effectual. Copious
draughts of very hot water, aided, If need
be, by hot water enemas, and hot water ex-
ternally applied, will speedily relieve nine
cases in ten. Cold water is the most pow
erful local anesthetic known. The pain of
a sprained limb is quickly relieved by ice
cold water. The ierriblo pangs of whitlow
or felon are cut short by intense heat. A
large proportion of all cramps and spssns
may be relieved by wafer OF "a proper tenn.
perature and intollgently applied. We

and nurses up TO a moderate comprehen-
sion of the advantages OF wafer, as an agent
