A custom which the French women
will not adopt, but which the Russian
ladies affect, is that of communicating
in white dresses. Working-women in
the Empire of the Gar attend the
communion service in black dresses and
white wells, but for the richer classes
the most magnificent white toilets are
prepared for these religious ceremonies.
The monument recently erected to
Sir John Franklin in Westminster abby
has been mutilated in some mysterious
way, about one and one-half inches of
the chief mast of the Erebus having
been bl oxen off, This is said to be not
the only act of vandalism committed in
the abby, the head of Maj. Andre having
been removed no less than three times.
Phebe Townly-she that was Phebe
Higgins, darter of old Deacon Daniel
Higgins, and wife of John Townly, who
was capting in the drefful war-is the
lady who has eloped from Elizabeth,

KEEP company with her afore she was
married. The deacon he gave the
young man his walkin' papers, and
Miss Higgins, they do say, was married
agin her will.

Potatoes for Horses.

Nearly every winter, when | have
my horses up in stable, think | will
call the attention of your readers to
the practice of feeding potatoes to their
horses. / once came near losing a
very valuable horse from feeding him
dry hay and oats with nothing loosen
ing. / have never believed in dosing
horse with medicine, but something is
actually necessary to keep horse in
the right condition. Many use pow
ders, but potatoes are better, and safer,
and cheaper, if fed judiciously. If
those who are not in the habit of feed
ing potatoes to horses will try them,
they will be astonished at the result.
| have known horse changed. from a
lazy, dumpish one to a quick, active,
headstrong animal, in five days, by
simply adding two quarts of potatoes
to his feed daily. If very much clear
corn-meal is fed, they do not need so
many potatoes, Too many potatoes
are weakening, and 50 are too many
apples. When | was a lad, [ was
away from home at school one winter,
and had the care of one horse, one yoke
of oxen, and one COW, every one Of
which | had to card or curry every
day. The horse had three pals of
water, four quarts of oats, two quarts
OF corn extra every day he worked,
with what hay he wanted, and a
stronger and more active horse of his
inches i have never yet seen.-C0r.

The Spirit of Servia and Montenegro.

Perhaps the Servians are blind to
the better qualities of the Turks.
But wherever we find Turkish rule in
Europe there we also find resentments
too deep, too passionate, too unreason-
ing to be soothed by the craft of diplo-
macy. Those animosities, whether we
like them or not, will prove to be
political forces of the highest import
ance. They would of themselves
suffice to render the position of Turkey
untenable. AT present they make it
peculiarly difficult for Prince Milan to
hold his subjects in leash. The Ser
vians have rude democratic temper,
and they have already shown how
cheaply they rate the sanctity of any
sovereign who thwarts their will. The
representatives of the rival dynasty
are also ready to bid against him for
popular favor. On the other hand,
he cannot be expected to fly in the
face of positive demands from Vienna,
since he is largely dependent on the
support of Austria. A fierce and
willful ruler like Kara George might
have dared everything rather than
Herzegovina to continue under the
rule of Turkey, and he might have
had good reason to believe that Austria
or Russia would lend helping hand
rather than allow him to be beaten
down but it would be unreasonable
to look for so bold stroke from a
mere lad like Prince Milan, untried
alike in council and in war.
The position of Montenegro is pretty
much the same as that of Servia. Its
people have been battling with the
Turks for centuries, and they have
never yet been conquered. When
Turkey claimed dominion over them
at the congress of Paris, their ruler
was able to reply that they had always
been able to defend their freedom. As
our special correspondent says: the
one object of their life is to fight the
Turks" and they are soldiers to man.
There is not more warlike race in
Europe, and it would be difficult to
find better guerrilla troops. The
mountain businesses enable them to
defy such masses of regular soldiers as
would over-run fiat country of the
same size, and hence war with
Turkey does not fill them with any
fnrrnr

health in the family Bad cooking

cause for the employment of two-thirds
of all the divorce lawyers in existence.
Flowers nearly always begin to fade
and droop after being kept for twenty
hours in water. a few may be revived
by substituting fresh, but all may be
restored by the use of hot water. For
this purpose place the flowers in scald-
ing water, deep enough to cover about
one-third of the length of the stems.
By the time this is cold the flowers will
have become erect and fresh. Then
cut off the shrunken ends of the stems
and put them into cold water.
WITHOUT a doubt the old, senseless
fashion of dressing babes in garments
with low necks aud short sleeves is
now qnite passed away. Pretty as the
bare, plump necks and arms were,
common sense told us they were a
fruitful source of cramps, colds and
other complaints of the little ones,
swelling to fearful proportions the list
of infant mortality Ii may well be Il
source of rejoicing that the absurd and
really wicked custom is abjured, and
the entire limbs and bodies of our
precious little ones incased IN comfor-
table clothing.

The sea islands and the whole coast
region of South Carolina are fast re-
verting to barbarism or becoming a
wilderness. A semi-tropical climate,
fertile soil, railway facilities i'm some
parts, and fine rivers, inlets and bays
everywhere, render this region one of
the most attractive and desirable in
the whole country. 1t formerly brought
wealth to the owners of its soil, and rev.
enue to the State. 1t is being grad
ually abandoned, because the system
under which it was formerly cultivated
has been broken up, its people impov-
erished, and its labor demoralized.
Those who own the lands can not now
cultivate them with profit, and find
them but burden which they dislike
to lay down, but can not much longer
carry. Small areas are cultivated in
a most rough and shiftless way by
negroes, with little profit either to them
selves or to the owners of the land. The
plantations are generally large They
can not be brought under the small
farm system of the north and of our up
per country, because this system re-
quires resident white population, and
to such large part of the country is I'm
healthfnl in summer. What can be
done! There is one way in which this
fine region can be restored to pros
perity, and made the garden spot ofthe
State We have indicated this i'm pre-
vious numbers, as have others whose
views are entitled to more consideration
than any unsupported Recommendation
of our own. Its embraced in the sim
gle word ''Co-operation. The owners
of the large plantations of the sea islands
and coast regions would gladly put their
lands into stock in properly organized
and efficient joint stock agricultural
companies, and the money capital which
such companies would require can readi-
ly be obtained in our cities and at the
north. Nothing is wanting but organ
ization under the management of gen

argue tnat modern INSTITUTION, Wnetnef
it be good or bad, should be preserved
simply because it is an institution, this
Is not surprising. But it is to the last
degree absurd:: that men should greet
with bowls of eXecration veiws of things
which do not coinside with their notions
and appear calculated to revolutionize
Il great deal of what they are accustom-
ed to- The spirit which led to the
persecution of Calico and impeded the

as ever, in spite Of the fact that expert
ence tells lis that the hated theory to-

morrow Thus it happens that clever
people frequently fail to reap the re-
ward of their labors, unless they can
be said to be rewarded when, after
their bodies have crumbled into dust,
statues are erected to their memories
and other honors paid them. They
scatter the seed while the winters blast
blows about their heads; others reap
the harvest in the warm summers

OUR FISHERIES. = Mr.. Ham
mond, a gentleman running u her
ring fishery at Port Madison, and
who has followed the business for
years, has kindly furnished US
with some valuable information
in regard to the herring and cod
fisheries of the Sound. He says
that he came to the Sound six
years ago to engage in the fish
ing business, and after expert
menting for two years found that
our naturally fine cod fisheries
had been entirely destroyed by
seining on the spawning grounds
during the spawning season.
Besides catching the female fish
the seines would drag the spawn
high above the low water mark,
thus entirely destroying this val
liable fishery in the space of four
years.
He found the herring fishery
profitable, and endeavored to
preserve it by not seining on the
spawning ground, but he now
finds that this branch is likely
soon to be destroyed also, as the
Chinese and Indians seine there
constantly during the spawning
season, for few perch and floun-
ders. The spawning season is
from the goth of February to
the 1st of June, and steps should
be taken for the passage of a
bill prohibiting seining on spawn
ing beds during that season, OF
one Of the most valued sources
Of wealth to our Territory will
soon be destroyed.
Mr.. Hammond says that he
would introduce Holsters into
these waters if laws could be
passed protecting them until they
had time to increase.

MISSISSIPPI STEAMBOAT RAClNa.- In
the flush times I" of steamboating, .
race between two VIGOROUSLY feet
steamers was an event of vast import
ance. The date was set for it several
weeks in advance, and from that time
forward the whole Mississippi Valley
was in state of consuming excitement.
Politics and the weather were dropped.
and the people talked only of the COM
ing race. As the time approached. /. the two
steamers stripped and got ready.
Every incumbrance that added weight.
or exposed resisting surface to wind
or water, was removed, if the boat could
possibly do without it. The spars. and
sometime even their supporting derricks,
we're sent ashCrs, and no means left to
set the boat ahoat in case she got aground
When the Eclipse and the A. L. Shot
we'll ran their great race % years ago,
it is said that pains were taken to scrape
The gliding off the fenciful device which
hung between the Eclipse's chimneys'
and that for that one trip the captain
left off his kid gloves and had his head
shaved. But 1 always doubted these
things.
If the boat was known to make her
best speed when drawing five and half
feet forward and five feet aft, she was
carefully loaded to that exact figure
she wouldn't enter dose of home-
pathic pills on her manifest after that.
Hardly and passengers were taken, be-
cause they not only add weight but they
never will "trim boat" They always
ran to the side when there is anything
to see, whereas a conscientious and ex,
perenced steamboatmah would stick to
the center of the boat and part his hair
in the middle with spirit level. Mayk
