PROFESSIONAL INCOMES.

Some one has been guessing ut and

~wcll-kuown professional men. Charles
O'ConOr, it IS said, has Il larger income
from his practice than any lawyer i'll

him Il million and Il quarter i'll money.
Sir Rounded Palmer, who was opposed
to EyartS at Geneva, makes S1J0,0OO a
year, which is more than Evarts' average
receipts for his New York practice. For
defending Johnson, Evarts received
S10,0&0, and it is not thought that he
will be paid a greater sum for worrying
Tilton. Mr.. Sergeant Ballantine, of the
London bar, who has gone to India TO
defend the GuicOwar of BariOra in a
prosecution for murder, gets $1,000 for
this case alone. Beach, of TiltOn's
counsel, is thought to be working for a
contingent fee. jeremiah Black is said
to trouble himself more about his case
than his fee, preferring to win and get
nothing than to lose and be paid liberal

Charlotte Cushman's lingering farewells

cault, between his royalty as playwright

\ very singular case is reported from

Il Servian nObilman. had been forced to
leave his OWL country because OF Il
strange tale to the effect that in his family
The eldest son WAS invariably II vampire,
always returning from the grave, after
death, to suck the blood of the living.
Singular as it may appear, the noble
man, though educated and intelligent,
actually believed this remarkable story
himself, and previous to his death, which
occurred recently, requested that his
heart should be taken from his body TO
prevent him from leaving the grave-it
being supposed that a vampire cannot
get along without a heart. This moma-
lous incident would seem to indicate that
We are not so far removed from the dark

is this special weakness is one which it

FIN FOE YOUNG FOLHS.

Here's a ley parlor game /: Twoplayers
are blindfolded with Il bandage made
of their Observation-Disclosures Each
one is provided with a saucerful Of cake
or cracker crumbs, which is held in the
left hand, and a spoon, which is held Ill
the right hand. \ sheet is spread upon
the floor, upon which the players sit,
and at a given signal they begin to
feed each other. Their efforts to find
each others mouths with their
spoons never fail to afford much
sport. Another amusing experiment is
to try to blow out a candle blindfOlded.
The candle is placed on a table, up to
which the player is first led he then
walks back six steps, turns around three
times, and walks forward as nearly in the
direction of the candle as possible, and
tries to blow it out. If he happens to
wander to the wrong part of the room,
the effect of the blowingis very funny.

mankind, by the introduction of a Bit

superseding all others, and is becoming
a bitter dose indeed for the charlatans

sale and universal popularity. Not only
are these VINEGAR BrTLERs, az he calls
them. an invaluable tonic and Alternative,
but they are acknowledged rs Il standard
MEDICINE, and the astonishing rapldlty
with which they cure diseases hitherto
declared inrurable, seems almost 1ncredl-
bic. After having been carefully tested,
they are kept ON hand i'll thousands OF
households, and used for any and every
form of disease, many relying upon them
in preference to the most celebrated
physicians. They have become a recog-

The Late Empress of China.

THE China mail brings news of the
death of the Empress Dowager, Kea
Shun, widow of the late Emperor Tung
Chih. 1t was reported, soon after the
late Emperor's death, that his young
widow had committed suicide, but ac-
cording to the Pekin Gazette her death
did not take place until the 27th of
March. The China MaH says: "Her
fate has been indeed an unhappy one.
Welded at the age of fifteen she became
widow at seventeen, and since the
death of her husband has, if native re-
ports are to be believed, led most mis-
cradle life. She is said to have refused
all food for some days previous to her
death, and to have sunk from exhaustion.
Whether these reports be true or not, we
can easily believe that her position was
most unenviable one. At best she was
condemned to perpetual seclusion for
many years to come, while she was ex-
posed to intrigues which, in view of her
expected confinement, might have had
her death and that of the possible child
as their object. Death was probably a
merciful relief" The Shanghai Courier
and Gdzette says that the early death of
the Empress is entirely in accordance
with the national idea of what is most
highly fitting for a wife SO bereaved. 1t
is not impossible that her memory will
acquire a sanctity in Chinese eyes, from
the fact of her having followed her lord
within so short a period; the event is al
ready attributed to her regrets, as it is
said that she suffered from no definite
disease.

Transporting Butter.

A GOOD way to carry rolls of butter
over rough road or any other is to make
tin boxes to suit the size of the rolls,
cylindrical in form Qike pill box), but
dividing near the middle, SO that the
cover will constitute one-half of the box.
Wrap each roll in fine bleached muslin,
and insert one end in the box and Glide
the cover over the other end, pressing it
down till the end of the roll will touch
the inside of the cover. 1nclose the tin
boxes in wooden one. Make the
wooden box of sound one and half
inch boards, fastening the corners firm
ly with sheet-iron straps. The outside
should be planed and painted; the inside
may be rough. Line the inside of this
box with two thicknesses of felt and cover
the felt with thin but sound boards,
mailing them right through the
felt snugly to the outside boards.
The felt is non-conductor, and
will keep the heat from striking
through into the butter. Line the inside
of the cover to the wooden box in the
same way, Cheating the top of it to pre-
American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1875-06-26
Hen Manure.

AS A FERTILIZER, for garden purposes,
few persons are aware of the value of
the droppings of the hen-roost. We see
many farmers neglecting to make use of
this h aterial, year after year, until the
quantity has accumulated SO as to make
it worth while, as they think, to haul it
away like other manure.
How to use hen manure to the best adj
vantage is also not generally understood.
In its natural state it is usually dry and
lumpy, and in this form is liable to do
it needs to be pounded and broken quite
fine, then mixed thoroughly with the
soil; or if first moistened it should be
mixed with three or four times it's bulk
of mellow earth till we'll incorporated,
and in either case used quite sparingly
and only for such plants or vegetables as
relish high manuring.
A handful of this dry mixture put into
each hill Of sweet corn, Lima beans, Gu
cumbers, melons, squashes, ETC., will be
found to have an excellent effect, espe-
cially in giving the plants good start
early in the season, and helping them to
resist the attacks of bugs. But l find it
most economical to use this fertilizer
chiefly in liquid form. In q barrel
nearly full of water l put two or three
shovelfuls of the manure, let it stand
twelve hours or more, and give it a STIR
ring, then after settling it is ready for
use; and as the liquid is carried off daily
add fresh water and manure to keep
up the supply. With this water occa-
sionally in dry weather such plants as
seem to need moisture or little stimu-
lating. For transplanted articles. at this
season, such as cabbage, cauliflower and
tomatoes, it is very beneficial. also hills
of melons, squashes, etc. and the women
will find it of great benefit to flowers of
all kinds where the soil is not rich.-Cor.

vent warping or splitting, and attach it
to the box by strong hinges on one side,
and hold the other down firmly by two
straps and staples. Stout handles should
be put upon each end of the box for
convenience in handling. Rolls of butter
in tin boxes inclosed in such a case will
neither get out of shape nor feel the heat.
Upon arrival at the end of their journey
the rolls are easily removed from the tin
boxes, which can be returned in their
case. Boxes four and a quarter inches
in diameter and eight inches long hold a
roll of four pounds, and cost from 81 so
TO Sc per dozen, according to the quality
of tin. The whole outfit is cheap, dur
able and convenient, and will secure an
attractive form to the butter upon its
Uision ReUieao.

Ingenuity Of Smugglers.

ALI kinds Of devices are often brought

society, ind themselves in strange pre-
dicaments as the result of these searches.
The only safe rule, say the inspectors, is
TO search every piece of baggage thorough

FARM AND HOME.

To clean lime out of the tea-kettle,
boil in the kettle fresh Irish potatoes
with the skins on. This softens the
lime, which is easily washed out; or an
oyster shell put into the kettle will &C
complish the same purpose.
Brewis.-This is made of pieces of
dry bread. Place the pieces in a spider
or other convenient vessel, pour ON cold
milk, sprinkle in little salt and pieces
of butter, rs much or as little as you
wish, set it over the fire; when it boils
up 1t is done. This may be made with
white or with brown bread, and is very
good.
The Pacific Rural Press says: Take
large head of cabbage, strip off the
outer leaf and slip off the bud found at
the root of the leaf. Take this bud and
simply set it in rich dirt, like any other
plant. The result will be fine growth
of early cabbage plants with heads
larger and sounder than can be raised in
the ordinary way"
Apple or Prune Pudding.-Crust to
be made same as for cream tartar biscuit,
to be cooked by steam in a covered tin
boiler; roll the crust to the required size
and half an inch thick; use first
layer of crust, then sliced apple and so
on, having the top layer crust, leaving
room for the pudding to SWELL if prunes
are used swell them first by soaking
them in warm water; don't let them boil,
as that breaks the skin. Cook the pud-
ding an hour and a half or two hours &C
cording to the size. Make sauce same
as for the dumplings. You can make
these buildings with peaches, both fresh
and dried, and with dried apple always
swelling the dried fruit. with black
berries, and with whortleberries Tor
huckleberries).
-Frosting.-One pound of pulverized
sugar and the whites of two eggs is my
rule. Sometimes the frosting stitfens up
so that 1 do not use all the sugar. The
above is enough for large cake. Roll
the sugar or sift it, as there may be small
Jumps, stir gradually into the whites this
sugar; when nearly stiff enough squeeze
in the juice of half lemon, when all the
sugar is in that is required; give it good
stirring, put the frosting in the center of
the loaf of cake, dip broad-bladed knife
in water and spread the frosting, dip
ping the knife in the water often enough
to prevent sticking; when spread, put the
cake on the stove hearth or under the
stove for half hour, perhaps, till it gets
firm. 1t takes but few minutes to
make the frosting and it is always good;
it is much better than to beat the eggs
to froth; only try it. The lemon juice
gives pleasant flavor, while the acid
acts upon the frosting, making it whittier
and nicer to cut. Always have the cake
cold.-COr Household.
