The oldest living poet of America is
Richard Fl. Dana, now almost IS years of
age Bayard Taylor, who lately visited him
at his summer home on Cape Ann says ::
''Here he sat before me, his long white
locks streaming in the wind, his eye I'M
dimmed, his voice unbroken, his intellect
evidently as clear. calm and sound as ever.
It seemed almost Incredible. Dana was
born before Byron, Shelly, and Keats he
was old enough to have remembered Mo-
Fart, Burns and CoWper, had he met them.
He was eighteen when Schiller died he
was the first matured man who recognized
the genius of the boy, William Cullen
Bryant. Age has only given to him it's re-
pose and dignity, not its lines of ruin, and
trust some artist may be found to perpe-
tuate for US his noble and venerable head"

Anyone might guess it the first time that the fl
owing lines were written by a woman who has hs
lore than one to WOO her in the days when 81
would have men WOoing come:
did not love him. Long ago
Instead OF Yes, gave him No.
did not love him; but today
read his marriage notice. Pray,
Why was sad, when never yet
Has my heart known the least regret
Over that whispered No and why,
Reading the notice, did sigh
No analyst can guess the cause;
A wOman's reason laughs dt laws.
Sure am glad to know the wound
1 gave is healed, that he has found
Loves blessedness and peace; and yet
A woman never can forget
The man who once has loved her; and yet
To-day seem to see him stand,
With every glance mute caress,
Still pleading for the ionged for Yes.
His early love for me is dead
Another lives in that loves stead,
And if he loves her well, as men
Should love their chosen ones, why, then,
He must be glad that long ago,
Instead of Yes gave him No.
Perhaps that is the reason why
read the notice with sigh.

FARMERS CLUR NoTEs.-An Ohio
member recommended for the publication
of the water of cistern that has become
foul the letting down into it of bushel OF
pounded charcoal Enclosed in coarse sack;
the process to be repeated with fresh char
coal if necessary.
An experienced dealer said to those far
mers who intend setting out trees the COM
ing season: ''Buy small thrifty trees, not
the largest ones to be had" as the small
ones are not only more liable to live, but
will soon overreach the larger ones and
give in all respects better satisfaction.
Among suggestions given for the present
season was: s'Give all fruit trees white
wash coating to keep off and destroy the
bark louse," etc; also: nip the new
growth of currants, raspberries and black
berriees," and "watch newly set trees and
rub off the small sprouts and buds, which
are liable to form branches when branches
are not desired.''
The treatment given for cow suffering
from sprain of the fetlock was: Thoroua1-
ly battle with water as warm as the hand
can comfortable bear, and then bandaga
with a flannel cloth, wet in a mixture of
one part vinegar to three parts OF water;
keep the bandage wet, and prevent the
COW from ranging about until strong again
as rest is essential to cure.

The INFANT WATCH-MAKER.-T
Commercial office was visited yesterday by
Samuel b. G. Nixon, the ''infant watch
MAKER" in charge of his grandfather,
Mr. Edwarn Gillian, Of Allegheny. The
child is only two years and seven months
old, and has developed most remarkable
skill and deXterity for one Of his tender
years. His grandfather is one of the old
est watchmakers in the country, and it
Was at his bench that the child first ex-
hibited his precocity. BY very little train
ing, he learned the name and use of every
tool, and he can now take apart and re-
adjust the works OF a watch, putting every
pin and wheel in it's proper place. The
operation was performed in this office, I'M
der the direction of Mr.. Gillian, in the
presence of a number of spectators, much
to their surprise and qualification. Little
Samuel seems destined to make his mark
in the world. --Pittsburg Commercial.

VALUABLE RECIPE.-The following
was given us by a mother whose infant
infant child, she is sure, has been cured Of
wasting diarrhea by its use In many
cases of this. kind it has been found an in
valuable remedy when all others have
failed. In one pint of port wine dissolve
half pound of loaf sugar; mix with
tablespoonful of flour three or four of wa
ter; stir till smooth; add this to the wine
and sugar, and scald all together. Keepin
a cool place. For dose give teaspoon
full three or four times day. The port
wine must be genuine, not mixture of
logwood and bad whiskey.

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

| THE WAR ON CORN WORMS" Mr..
A. Brewster, West Ossipee, N. H, sends
| the following communication to the Boston
| Cultiuator In my experience On the farm
have observed four different worms which
prey upon the growing corn. The first of
these is what the farmers call the ''Wire-
worm,'' Of a yellow color, and when full
grown is not over one and one-fourth
inches long and about the size of a knit
ting needle It begins its mischief, as soon
as the corn is planted, by burrowing in the
kernel and eating out the chit. They are
most numerous on cold, wet land. The
best remedy l know Of is to put in larger
amount of seed, with broken cob for
every hill-instead Of attacking the corn,
they crawl into the pith of the cob, and
thus are harmless,
The second kind is the ''cutworrn,' be-
cause it cuts off the. growing stalk Of corn
Just level with the surface of the soil. This
cutting down of the small blade is but a
slight injury, for it keeps on growing and
in few days all the traces of the wound
that remain are the shattered tips Of few
of the lower leaves. If hunted for
soon after this cutting has been done
done the worm will be found III the hill,
about an inch below the surface. It is Of a
very dark brown color, blunt at each end,
about the bigness of q pipe stem, and from
one to one and one-half inches in length.
Remedy-Hoe the corn early, hunt ne
worms and kill them as you go. You may
think. this is a hard task, but it can De
done both rapidly and rapidly and thor
oughly after few hours practice.
The third kind is what farmers demo
inmate the 'grubworm, because he gnaWs
off the growing spire of corn, close down to
the kernel, and kills it as effectuallyas if it
had been grubbed up by the roots. It IS
about the size and length of the cutWorm
color white, or nearly so; hind part Of the
body tapering toward a point with rings.
If this kind be at work on YOU corn, a
single glance at the hill discloses the fact.
The farmer knows that there is only one
remedy, and that is to get right down and
dig it out. have known them to kill the
corn after it had attained the height 70
more than two feet.
The fourth species is the ''Hl.i.o worm,''
which is so familiar to the eye of every far
mer everywhere. They are produced from
the eggs of the June big black beetle; ev-
cry third year they come by the acre; this
season they are sweeping clean many thou
sand acres Of tillage land in Carroll coun-
ty, it matters not what the crop may be.
They devour the corn roots below the ler-
mel, and will attack it any time while it
stands in the field. Remedy-Preserve
their natural enemies; there is no other
within the reach Of man. Their most for
midable foe is the crow, which will fly
many miles for feast on their fat bodies.
The skunk destroys great numbers Of these
beetles and thus prevents the laying Of
eggs which might produce an army Of
worms. Gradually as the farmer and the
crow become more intimate friends the
of all kinds Of worms will be-
come lighter.

To PRESERVE BooKs.-The bindings
may be preserved from mildew by brushing
them over with spirits of wine A few

braries from the consuming effects of mold
and damp. Russia leather, which is per-

SANTA ANNA.

The following is taken from City of
Mexico letter to the Cincinnati Enquirer:
Having, with other Americans, ex-
pressed desire to call upon Gen. Santa
Anna, the Hon. Mr.. Foster, our Minister
here, kindly arranged an interview for
us at II o'clock yesterday morning. AT
the hour appointed an interpreter was
sent to join our party, and we proceeded
but single block from our hotel to find
the General He lives in a third rate
house of two stories, with courts of not
more than twenty feet square, the pave
ments out of repair, the whole telling the
story of poverty. He was seated upon a
much worn sofa, attended by smart ap-
pc ring Mexican of middle age, and rose
with some difficulty, in receiving us. He
complained considerably of his wooden
leg, and also of blindness. He is an old
man of eighty years, very decrepd, yet
in full command of his faculties; has a
good head and face, not unlike the pic
lures of Humboldt in old age, with broad
temples and an abrupt, square nose, and,
at one time, good eyes. He had little to
say, but appeared pleased at our visits;
and as we told him of the four or five
General officers Of the Mexican war still
living, he listened with interest, but
showed no special recognition until the
name of Pillow was mentioned, whom
he remembered perfectly. Upon com,
plimenting him as the greatest historical
character of Mexico now living, and that
on my return more interest would be
manifested concerning him than any
matter ofmy entire visit, his eyes bright
ened, and in gracefully acknowledging
the compliment, he remarked that he
never permitted an opportunity to es-
cape of expressing his sincere thanks for
the kindness shown him in the United
States during the entire time Of his So
journ there. We then took our depar-
ture, and not without many reflections
upon the instability of human greatness
Over the sofa where Santa Anna sat was
the picture of beautiful oman in her
fullness of youth and loveliness. This
was his wife when both led the fortunes
of Mexico. AS we passed out the court
our attention was called to the figure Of
woman of fifty in the window opposite
in plain dress, md devoid of anything
interesting This was she whose picture
had so interested us, Mrs. General Santa
Anna,

Especial Dispatch to the Pittsburgh COMMERCIAL
1t is ascertained, from an authoritative
source, that the sequel to the whisky
trials, in the manner in which they have
been conducted by the Treasury Depart
ment, will not be as hattering as the open
ing promised. 1t is stated that the turn
in the tide will soon have been reached,
and inquiry into their management will
demonstrate that the movement has not
gained much. Since the beginning OF
these trials the Government has been the
loser to the tune of not less than nine
million dollars in taxes on the whisky
seized or accounted for as having eluded
the tax, and the losses on the reduced
manufacture incident to the ill-consider-
ed programme of the Department and
the short-sighted manner of carrying 1t
out. The most serious results from this
course is the prospect of a considerable
deficit in the revenues from internal
taxation, so largely dependent upon spir-
its. In the State of Missouri alone, where
the revenue from this source amounted
to fully two million dollars, the receipts
of the Government from the whisky
tariff is now literally nothing. 1t is be-
lieved in high official quarters that a
much wiser and more profitable course
pecuniarily would have been to have
compromised these whisky cases by re-
questing the payment of the duties on
the bulk of the Illicit whisky known to
have been manufactured. This would
have turned very large sums into the
Golfers of the Government, whereas the
plan carried out has yielded nothing eX.
Cept the sums realized from the sale OF
distilleries, machinery and material.
This has not amounted to the smallest
fraction of what would have been real
lied from the other course. These dis
tilleries in a sale might bring ten thou
sand dollars each, in all probability bought
up by or for the former owners. 1T is
further stated that when all the accounts
of money expended in the trial OF the
four persons convicted come in, Judging
from those already received, it will be
found that these trials have cost the gov
ernment not less than 100000 apiece.
To these may be added the expense OF
the unsuccessful trials and those being
carried on in Chicago, and we have an
aggregate outlay which will appal the
public when they learn the facts. After
all the halo of glory which has invested
the demonstrations against the whisky
ring, it will soon have to be admitted
that the government paid dearly for the
whistle, and that a judiCious compromise
would have turned money into the vaults

A HARVEST FOR THE BANKs.-The ma
tional banks, in the belief that the Re-
sumption act will not be repealed, are
reaping the benefit of an advantageous
moment to withdraw their circulation
and realize on their bonds. About $780,
600 bonds will realize $500,00O, which
would enable many to pay off their bad
debts. Having disposed of their bonds
when al maximum under the law. they
can secure circulation whenever they
wish. In addition to this, it is believed
that in q few weeks they can buy four
and half per cent bonds at less money.
The largest withdrawal of circulation is
at the cities of New York, Chicago and
St. Louis; Pennsylvania and New Eng
land but little. 1t will be seen that the
banks, as a matter of interest, are carry
ing on contraction. Upwards of S25, ,00O,-
600 contraction of circulation has been
carried on in the past year, and for a
single week in March it was over two
millions, at that rate amounting to over
eignt millions month, or twice as much
as was attempted by McCulloch.
