ALUM BASKETS The framework OF alum
baskets is usually made Of thin wire, woven
in and out, and wound over in every part, to
produce rough surface. Dissolve the alum
in rather more than twice the quantity Of
water that will cover the basket, handle in
cluded. Put in as much alum as the water
will dissolve, and when it will take no more,
filter it through piece of brown paper into
saucepan. If you wish the basket to be CO.
lored, the dye must be added before the pro.
cess of 6tering. TO produce crimson, use an
infusion of cochiueal and madden; for bright
yellow, boil gamboge, muria!e Of iron, or
turmeric 10 the solution. Blue crystals may
be obtained by preparing sulphate Of copper,
commonly called blue vtriol, in the same
manner that alum is prepared. For pale
blue, equal portions of blue vitriol and
alum and for green, add to these last ill.,
gradients a few drops of muria!e of iron.
The solution being filtered, boil it gently
until it is reduced to half the quantity put
it 10 vessel large enough 10 admit of the
basket; suspend the latter from stick laid
across the top, SO that both basket and ham
die are entirely immersed. IL must then be
put 10 u cool place, where there will MOI be
the slightest motion to disturb the forma-
ton of the CT, stals. 1t Is well TO bear in
mind that the colored baskets should be kept
quite out Of the reach of children, as
they look very tempting, but are decidedly
poisonous.

Der will not let it pass out" 81 will take

A MAJOR G ESERAL's POvERTY.-Tbe Gin
cinnat Inquirer says: Last evening tall.
hasgard, and ragged.lookinS individual
found bis way into the Cumminsvi!le station
house and into cell for Safe-keepiDg. He
had all the marks of dissipation about him
bloodsbot eyes, inilamed skin, and bruised
face. lie had what was still worse and stu
more convncDg-a violent attack OF that
terrible man.killer disease delirium tremenS.
He claimed to be homeless, triendness. and
moneylcSs, and to have walked all the way
from indianapolis. lie said he was Msjor-
General William II. Wheeler, of the late
Confederate Army, on bis way TO his ole
home and birthplace at Cu!peper Court
house, Va, where be wan cd to die.
General Wheeler will be remembered as
dashing officer VINO figured so brilliantly
during the war in tue ctvalry service. The
story of this poor tramp, claiming TO be this
famous general, Is sad one, if true, and an
interesting one any way. He says he is sixty
two years old; that he graduated at West
Point in the class of '32; that while COM
mapding at the battle of Shiloh his son was
shot and killed that in less than two weeks
after intelligence came OF the death OF his
wife, then the escape Of all Of bis slaves
numbering nearly twenty-and, lastly, his
Virginia farms that he had signed over
to his brother to escape conhscation,
had been seized or sold by that brothers
creditors, leaving him a pauper. AT The
close of the war be alleges be drlited from
one place to another, finally bringing up IN
Mississippi, where until few weeks since
he has lived. He journeyed up the river to
Evansville two weeks ago, landed there ano
went to Terre Haute. where he expec'ei TO
find couple of uephews; Was disppointed
went to indianapolis, and from there tramp
cd to this city.
He claims that his mother was sister O
Governor Trimble's wife; that his only sis
ter is Mrs. Colonel Martin, of Hamilton
Ohio. and that his only surviving child is /
married lady living in Baltimore. His Who'll
story is very straightforward, and in bis con
yersatiou he betrays an intelligence aud II
mliarity with public men and things whicl
one would scarcely look for in an ordiuar.
tramp. Whiskey seems at last to har,
wrecked him, and it will probably be his fal(
to spend his last days in the Cincinnati Hos
pital, where he will be taken to-day.
