TRIMMING TIP All farmers no,

TRIMMING UP.-All farmers, per-
haps, are not aware of the great i'm
proyement in trimming up in the gen
eral appearance of their farms, and
especially when done in the immedi-
ate vicinity of their buildings, which
can be accomplished by cutting and
clearing worthless bushes from the
roadside. Besides affording clearer
and better view of "verdant field and
pasture green" on the other side to
the passcr-by, it is an unmistakablc
evidence Of the thrift and enterprise
Of its owners. This may seem to
them of small consequence when
there is so much other :. necessary
work to be performed; yet we can as
sure them that people passing by al
ways notice and comment upon the
appearance of their premises, and
judge the man by his immediate sur
roundings, and are generally pretty
correct in their Judgment. If you
wish to sell your farm, the expense of
brush cutting vii! prove Il paying in
vestment; if you wish to keep it, it
will pay still better in the pride and
satisfaction it will bring you. Il GER
tain amount of pride should be tos-
tered by all classes, and we think it
more becoming among farmers than
most others, as they have greater
opportunities and inducements to cx-
crcise it.-Psterborough Transcript.

Queen, is being cultivated in France.
In good soil, from twelve to fifteen

Their flavor is said to be very

Useful Hints.

Many persons destroy their window
sash, endeavoring to remove old put
ty. This may he obviated by apply
ing a hot iron to the putty, which
will then yield to the knife and leave
the sash clean.
In case Of poisoning, stir into y
glass of water 4 hcaping teaspoontul
each of salt and mustard, and drink
Immediately. One or more doses
will cause vomiting, and clense the
stomach. TO overcome the effects,
swallow the whites Of two or three
eggs and drink Il cup or two of strong
coffee. Sweet oil, taken freely, is
excellent in poisoning.
Ink spots on floors can be extracted
by securing with sand wctted in oil
of vitrol and water. When the ink
is removed, rinse with strong pearl
ash water.
To stop leaks around chimneys,
take dry sand, one pint; ashes, two
pints; clay, dried and pulverized,
three pints; all to be mixed into
paste, with linseed oil. Use while
soft, and when it becomes hard wa
ter will have no effect upon it.
For the benefit of those persons at.
fected with freckles, we would say,
that powdered nitre moistened with
water, applied to the face night and
morning, will soon remove all traces
of them.
A convenient method Of cleaning
jar, bucket, tub, or barrel, is to
place small quantity of lime on the
bottom, and then slack it with hot
water, in which as much salt has been
Dissolved as it will take up. 1t will
purify it like charm. The vessel
should be covered to keep the steam
in.

CITY OF PANAMA.-The steam
ship City of Panama arrived
here from up-Sound last night
at about half past eleven. There
had been much conject ure as o
what was keeping her SO long,
but a glance at the amount of
freight she has on board will
satisfactorily explain it. She
took on at Steilacoom the follow
ing freight: 657 ship-knees, l
stem, 60 bundles of hoop-poles
and II empty casks. At Taco
ma: 65 cords Of cottonwood bolts
and 81 pkgs. of merchandise
She is coaling at the Talbot
bunkers and will take about 300
tons. She will take as freight
from here 100000 feet of lumber
from Colman's mill, as well as a
quantity ofmiscellaneous freight.
The officers extend an invitation
to the public to visit the vessel
while she is lying here. Fare

SKAGIT CoAL.-A quantity of
Skagit coal was brought up by
the Libby to this city to be test
ed. Some of it was so tested
this morning by Mr.. J. II. Mat
thews, Chief Engineer of the
City Panama, who reported that
it was the best steam coal ever
found on the coast and for all
purposes fully equal to Cumber-
land. Some six or seven sacks
will be taken down to San Fran
cisco to be tried and if the result
OF the experiments proves the
coal to be what is claimed, the
mine will be speedily opened up.
The seams are very large and
the mine is practically lnexhaus-
tible, though being situated
some 20 miles from tide water
it will be rather expensive to
open.

FROM DALEY OF FRIDAY,

BURGLAR. - AS a gentleman
who occupies a room in the
American Exchange Hotel was
retiring last evening, he betho't
himself to look under the bed.
1t was we'll he did so, for there
snugly ensconced was a man ap-
parently waiting for the oecu-
pant to retire before making a
clean sweep of his valuables.
The supposed burglar was ar
rested and this morning exam
ined before Justice Scott. His
story was that he was sick and
broke, and as he had no place to
sleep he tried to obtain a nights
lodging in this manner. AS
there was no proof Of criminal
intent, no complaint was prof
ferred againss him and he was
discharged. He appeared to be
quite a respectable looking old
man, but had evidently been
drinking heavily and was prot
able suffering from momentary
alteration of mind.

ROTARY ENGINE.-The rotary
engine invented by Mr.. Van
Dorm and built at Jones ma
chine shop has been finished and
steam was let on for the first
time yesterday. 1t worked very
we'll, though a little stiff1y at
first from some parts not fitting
well. 1t was taken apart to be
readjusted and tomorrow it will
probably be running again. It
is thought by competent ma
chinists that the idea is very
good one. Whether the subse-
quent working of the machine
will come up to expectations re-
mains to be seen.

THEATRE. The Theatre last
evening was even more slimly
attended than on the previous
evening. Notwithstanding the
decidedly small audience, the
performance was far superior to
anything ever before heard in
this city. Miss Gayton as Thisbe
took the character with start
ling force and spirit and was re-
peatedly applauded. Mr.. Herne,
as the Spy, showed himself as
good at tragedy as he generally
is in comedy. AS Felix O'Calla-
han, in the afterpiece of'On His
Last Legs" it was that Mr..
Herne shone, bringing down the
heuse repeatedly. His portrait
ure of the decayed Irish gentle
man was perfect. Too much
credit cannot be given to the
manageress, Mrs. Phelps, for the
organization of such an able
company and bringing them
here and it is great pity that
she had not a more satisfactory
house.

is now being developed by ex-

formed, is proving satisfactory.
The vein is increasing in size
and the coal is becoming better
the further the shaft is driven
down. 1t is the intention of the
company to run a tunnel into
the largest vein as soon as pos
sible. The coal brought down
by Mr.. Stevens is on Yesler's
wharf, and blacksmiths and 9th
