WIZ THEY OFTEN FAIL.

Young men often fail to get on in the
world because they neglect small oppor-
tunities. Not being faithful in little
things, they are not promoted to the
charge of greater things. A young man
who gets a subordinate situation some
times thinks it is not necessary for him
to give it much attention. He will wait
till he gets place of responsibility, and
then he will show people what he can do.
This is very great mistake. Whatever
his situation may be, he chould master it
in all its details, and perform all its du-
ties faithfully. Tho habit of doing his
work thoroughly and conscientiously is
what is 'most likely to enable young
man to make his way. With this habit
a person Of ordinary abilities will out
strip one of greater talents who is in the
habit of sighting subordinate matters.
But after all the mere adoption by a
young man of great essential rule OF
success shows him to be possessed of SUI
periOr abilities.

A MURDEROUS SEA FLOWER.

One of the exquisite wonders of the
sea is called the opelet, and is about a.
large as the German aster, looking, in
deed, very much like one. Imagine a
very large double aster, with a great
many long petals of light green color,
glossy as satin, and each one tipped with
rose color. These lovely petals do not
lie quietly iu their places, but wave
about in the water, while the epelet
clings to a rock. How innocent and
lovely it looks on its rocky bed! Who
would suspect that it would eat any thing
grosser than dew or sunlight? But
these beautiful waving arms as you call
them, have Use besides locking pretty.
They have to provide for large, open
mouth, which can scarcely find it.
Well do they perform their duty, for the
instant foolish little fish touches one
of the rosy tips, he is struck with poison
as fatal to him as lightning. He imme-
diately becomes numb, and in moment
stops struggling, and then the other
arms wrap themselves around him and
he is drawn into the huge, greedy mouth,
and is seen no more. Then the lovely
arms unclose and wave again in the wa.

1t is caused by parasitic fungus, which
may be seen with powerful microscope,
first inside of the freshly opening leaves,
and afterward covering the surface. The
best remedy is promoting vigorous
growth. We see a statement in one of
our exchanges, that coal ashes densely
spread around the treesis good remedy,
which is doubtless true, so far as it pro-
notes vigorous growth by acting as a
useful mulch. Some years ago, when
this disease prevailed, many of our trees
were badly injured, but one which stood

the manure, the leaves were free from it,

The sovereign remedy for all all
ments is shampooing, and he who inner
its the trade is blinded in his childhood
for the sake of modesty. Shampooers

Crime is speedily and severely re-
buked. The capital punishments are
haru.kiri, beheading, and, for parricide
and the gravest o6enses, cruci6xion.
The haru-kiri has been much modified of
late; it is reserved for state offenders, to
whom some consideration is due, but
death demanded. Ordinarily the execu-
ton takes place in temple at the pal
ace of some Daimio, who is ordered to
superintend the ceremony. A friend or
second is selected, who stands by the
offender with drawn sword, the katana !;
a salver is then offered the principal, in
which lies the knife for disemboweling,
and as he seizes it the second cleaves off
his head at q blow. This is a humane
modification of the method requiring the
principal to cut into his abdomen before
decapitation. This form, without inter-
position Of a second, is quite popular as
a method of seeking death when over
powered by grief for lost friend or
patron, or to oppose sea of troubles.

SPRING AILMENTS.

The remedy for spring diseases, 10y
whatever name, is: Eat less. We do not
mean that you will starve yourself. or
that you shall deny yourself whatever
you like best, for, as general rule, what
you like best is best for you: you need
not abandon the use of tea or coffee, or
meat, or any thing else you like. but
simply eat lessOf them. Eat all you did
in winter, if you like, but take less in
amount. Do not starve yourself, do not
reduce the quantity of food to an amount
which would scarcely keep a chicken
alive, but make beginning by not GO
ing to the table at ALL unless you feel
hungry, for, if you once get there, you
will begin to taste this and that and
the other, by virtue of vinegar, or
mustard, or sirup, or cake, or something
nice. Thus fictitious appetite is walked
up, and before you know it you have
eaten hearty meal, to yeur own sur
prise, and perhaps that, or something
else, of those at table with yJu.
The second step toward the effectual
prevention of all spring diseases, summer
complaints, and the like, is: Diminish
the amount of food consumed at each
meal by one-fourth of each article, and
to be practical it is necessary to be
specific: if you have taken two cups of
coffee or tea at meal, take a cup and
half; if you have taken two biscuits or
slices of bread, take one and half; if
you have taken two spoonfuls of rice, or
hominy, or cracked wheat, or grits, or
farina, take one and half; if you have
taken certain or uncertain quantity of
meat, diminish it by quar- ter, and keep
on diminishing it in proportion "a the
weather becomes warmer, until you ar
rive at the points of safety and health,
and they are two: l. Until you have no
unpleasant feeling of any kind after
your meals. 2. Until you have not
eaten so much at one meal but that,
when the next comes, you shall feel de-
cidedly hungry.

that is, the cause being first removed
nature next proceeds to work off the
surplus, as the engineer does unwanted

The white clover is an indigenous plant
and was found in Louisiana when dis
covered b. the whites. It grows spon-
taneously among all the cleared and
drained land in Louisiana. We have
known it propagated from seed, carried
from one point to another with great
ease. To do this it ia necessary to gather
the heads of the ripe clover in the field,
as, unlike the red clover at the north
and west. q sufficient quantity does not
ripen at once to make it convenient to
secure seed by moving. The seed must
be sowed in good dry ground, which
should be broken up, narrowed, and then
the seed should be sown and lightly
brushed in. II seed is scarce, and one is
apt to find it 90 in this climate if he
undertakes to gather it, We have known
excellent pastures made by sowing here
and there small patches, which, in year
or two, cover the whole ground. Under
any circumstances, all stock, and espe-
cially hogs, shoald be kept off white
clover pasture the first year. Once we'll
set, pasture will last life time, and if
needed for hay, tcp-dresSing Of manure
or plaster should be given to it every
year, and stock kept from it most of the

WASHINGTON, June |, 1877.


WAR DEPARTMENT, !
WASHINGTON, June l, 1877.
GENERAL-The report of William
Shafter, lieutenant-c colonel of the Twenty
fourth infantry, commanding the dis
trict of Nueces, Texas, concerning the
recent raids by Mexicans and Indians
from Mexico into Texas for marauding
purposes, with your Endorsement of the
twenty-ninth ultime. has been submitted
to the president, and has, together with
numerous reports and documents relating
to the same subject. been duly considered.
The president desires that the utmost
vigilance on the part Of the military
forces in Texas be exercised for the sup
preston of these raids. 1t is very desira-
BILE that efforts to this end, in so far at
least, as they necessarily involve opera
tons on both sides of the border, be
made with the cooperation of Mexican
authority, and you will instruct Gen
eral Ord commanding in Texas, to invite
such cooperation on the part of the local
Mexican authorities, and to inform them
that while the president is anxious to
avoid giving oAense to Mexico, he is
nevertheless convinced that the invasion
of our territory by armed and organized
bodies of thieves and robbers to prey
upon our citizens should not be longer
tolerated. General Ord will at once
notify the Mexican authorities along the
Texas border of the great desire of the
president to unite with them in efforts to
suppress this long-oontinued lawlesness.
At the same time he will inform those
authorities that if the government of
Mexico shall continue to neglect its duty
of suppressing these outrages that duly
will devolve upon this government, and
will be performed even if its performance
should render necessary the occasional
crossing of the border by our troops.
You will, therefore, direct General Ord
that in case the lawless incursions con.
tinue he will be at liberty to use his
own discretion when in pursuit of bands
of marauders, and that when his troops
are either in sight of them or upon fresh
trail to follow them across the Rio
Grande and to overtake and punish them,
as we'll as retake The stolen property
taken from our citizens and found in
their hands on the Mexican side of the
line. I have the honor to be, very

Il Couple Of Gases of WOmen Being Buried
Al,re- HOrrible Details.

4 Couple Of Cases of Women Being Buried
Ai,re-HOrriJle Details.
Two stories OF burying women alive
have got into the papers recently. The
most horrible case, and one too brutal to
believe, is that reported from Towson-
town, Nd, where farmer named Sta
pies is accused of entombing alive a
young woman in his employ, with whom
it is supposed he had been criminally in
innate. 1t is said that the girl was being
buried in the presence of Staples, his
son-in-law, a negro, Mrs. Staples, and
two other ladies, and when the coffin,
which had been rudely constructed of
pine boards by Staples himself, was low
cred to the grave, the two ladies heard a
voice from the coffin crying out, go
Lord" They demonstrated against the
burial being proceeded with, but without
effect. The next day the corpse was ex-
humed, and it was found that the body
had turned, the arms were abraded and
blood had issued from the nose while
the hands was clutched in the hair. AZ
ter the exhumation Staples complained
to the states attorney that the grave had
been !esecrated, and wanted the parties
prosecuted. And now the whole affair is
being investigated by the authorities.
The other case of questionable death is
that of Mrs. Caire, French woman of
Jersey City. Upon her supposed death
two neighbors, Mrs. Calhoun and her
daughter, prepared the body for burial.
81 laid her on blanket" said Mrs.
Calhoun, "and was washing her hands
when her head, which was turned to the
right, turned up and looked at me. l
said to those about me, 'this woman is
not dead, and some one answered, 'Oh,
yes, she is. | went to work again and
found that the body was warm and linn
Der, although she had been reported to
have been dead some two hours. While
1 was washing her her eyes closed and
suddenly opened again hallway, and her
left foot twitched violently. Again
said this woman is not dead, and asked
them to send for doctor, believing that,
if she was bled and rubbed and given some
hot restorative, she would be revived.
DIR. Watson had already been there and
her dead. We sent for him
again, but he would not come. l told
her husband that she was not dead. He |
felt her and said that she was very
dead She was on the ice three days |
and 1 helped to take her off. We rubbed
the body dry, and while doing so heard
her snore, and again put my hand to her
face and felt a breath. My daughter,
Mrs. Jacobus, cried out, they are going |
to bury live woman!' They put her
into a coffin and took her away" The
doctors, however, laugh at Mrs. Calhoun's
story, and are disposed to give no credit |
