AN AMERICAN DISH.-An amusing story
is told, Of which 1t is averred that no less
a parsonage than the late George Peabody,
the celebrated American banker, was the
hero. 1t appears that Mr. Peabody had
invited three Englishmen to meet two
Americans at dinner, and on this occasion.
having received rs gift ten cars OF green
corn, determined to renew the recoilee-
tions of his youth, astonlah his English
and please his American guests by having
it served up in the weIl-known American
style. Accordingly, at proper time,
plates OF butter and salt were placed before
each guest, and the banker, with some
thing of an air Of mystery, announced that
he was now about to treat his guests to
well-known and delicious American dish
Of food, cooked in the American manner
1t would be no novelty TO his American
guests, but the Englishmen must watch
how it was disposed of By them, and toll
low their example and manner OF dlspos-
ing of it. Then. at a signal, entered a
stately butler bearing a large covered dish,
which he deposited solemnly before Mr.
Peabody. In moment more, IN obedl-
ence to the bankers nod, he whisked off
the cover, and there, before the astonish-
ed guests, was displayed a pile Of 10 boil
ed corn-cobs. The banker gazed for an
instant in mute horror and dismay, and
then found voice to demand an explana-
ton, which WIS finally reached when the
cook was summoned-a fellow who had
never before seen an ear of Indian corn in
his life He replied that he had followed
his masters directions TO strip OH all
the outside before boiling" which he had
done most faithfully, not only the husks,
as was intended, but the kernels also, Sc
that the banker had only what is, II
America, the plate evidence OF the feas'
to indicate what were his good intention.

D,sFr,SCRISING THIEVES - The Walla
Walla STATESMAN makes very strong point
when it favors plank III the state constltu-
t;on to disfranchise any and every person
convicted of any grade of larceny. 1t says
Faithfully that "thief has no moral right
to vote" Certainly, The man who dehes the
law should have no Voice nor vote IN electIng
those who make or administer the laws OF
the land. 4 conviction for larceny should
put it beyond the executive clemency to re-
store TO all the prerosatives OF citizenship,
the convict who has feloniously appropriated
his neighbors property. The suggestion is
uuouestionably good one and We hope thai
the fundamental law of our future state will
so or,lain. Puuishments which are OF pre-,
veutive nature are more enobling 10 great
state than those of vindictiye character.
And if sueh provision in the constitution
serves as "an ounce of prevention, thers
can be no doubt but it will be better than "a

ADrLrERArIoy PENALTIES English mag
istrates do not allow pubiicans to tritie with
the tipple of their customers. An act OF
parliament forbiis the adulteration of spirit
uous and malt liquors, and heavy fines, OF
from 500 TO 500, are imposed for watering
gin or putting sugar or molasses in ale and
porter. The adulterated liquor is also seized
by the government. Were similar law en-
forced in this territory there would be a
seizure of six-tenths of the abominable DIS
tillations and poisons which are dealt out as
whiskey, brandy, gin and wines, and the
fines, at low figure in each case, would
support the insane asylum, and lnebriate and
reformatory institutions, until those who
deal in such base stuff should cease the CON-
pounding and sale of it. And the weekly
average Of insane commitments, suicides and
murders-to say nothing OF assaults aud dis
turbances of the peace-would be largely d.
minished.

made one praising reserve forces He de-
ciare,t his success in the Vicksburg campaign
was due TO the volunteers who, without spe-

bridge two thousand feet long, and did it.
1--WE don't find that intelligence in the rank

They can do manual labor; but among the
volunteers you have mechanics and men OF
every profession and every capacity, SO that
with them built two thousand feet or bridge

Fruff ns "a Medicine.

The irregular eating Of unripe fruit Is
well known to be unwholcsome. The
regular and moderate use of welI-ripened
fruit is not so widely appreciated as con
tributine to health Residents in regions
where more or less malaria prevails have
discovered that nothing is a more sure
preventive of its deleterious effects than a
regular supply Of fruit.
Bot fruit will not only prevent disease,
but in some instances it has proved to
be one Of the best medicines to cure it.
Many years ago a chronic cough, which
had excited a good deal of uneasiness,
was cured by daily eating ripe raspber-
ries, recommended by medical writer OF
high authority as an excellent expecto-
rant. Severe colds are more apt TO oc-
cur on the first cool and damp days OF
autumn than at other seasons. We have
often cured these diseases on the first at
tack, by eating copiously of ripe water
melons. The beneficial effects of drink
ING freely of cold water on such occasions
are we'll known Watermelons supply a
much larger quantity than one could
easily swallow in any other way.--Coun-
try Gentleman.

The Model Farmer.

Is one who thoroughly loves his bust
ness. He regards it as one OF the nobiest
OF callngs, is wide awake to all its inter
ests, and takes an active part in enterprises
10 push them forward. But our model
farmer has no hatred Of honest workers
in other lines of industry, and knows full
we'll that every pursuit IS made prosper
Gus through the harmony and prosperity
of the rest
HEIsA SKILLED MANAGER.-He uses
all labor-saving instruments, but keeps
them in perfect order and housed when
not in use. You find on his tools neither
rust nor rot lie does everything IN ITS
proper time-loves thoroughness, hates
weeds, hates sloyenly farming, gives his
stock good shelter and abundant food, but
knows and practices the art of feeding
for specific purpose-whether for
growth or fattening, butter or work. He
knows also the fitness Of particular pro-
ducts, and plants accordingly.
He rs AN ECoxoMIsT-He wastes no
time. You will not find him loafing in
groceries or whiting the dry goods boxes
of the nearest town. His time Is part OF
his capital, and he invests it so as to get
the greatest profits. He is also an econo-
mist Of labor. He seeks constantly to
accomplish results with the least possible
wear and tear Of MUSICALE, and every gen
une appliance for shortening process IN
labor frds favor with him. Being far
from market, he condenses his products
50 as to transport the highest value IN
the least bulk. Consequently he raises
the best stock, keeps it III condition, and
cultivates the best.
HIGHER CULTURE DEMANDED.-Pro-
gressive husbandry implies intensive cul-
tivation. It's aim is to get more pro
ducts from less land, and also at les:
cost than the experience Of the past ha:
developed. 1t proposes maximum crop
because it is mainly in this direction tina
a reduction Of COSTS to be found. When
ever farmers can be brought to see anC
believe this, their progress and prosper
ty are at once insured. To bring then
to this view the first thing to be done II
to talk and write about them, and make
people either angry or inquisitlve.

Market Strawberries.

VIM. Parry, of New jersey, says there
are now several of the newer strawberries
that are larger, better and handsomer
than the Wilson and that last summer,
when this fruit was abundant in the
Philadelphia market, as many as 200
crates Of Wilson were thrown off the
dock every day for want of purchasers,
while large, sweet berries, like lucinda,
Monarch Of the West, Seth Boyden,
Charles Downing and Cumberland Tri-
nmph sold at good prices. This was in a
discriminating city mar ket; in many
places the prices would be more nearly
the same, and the Wilson will be raised
for some time to come.

Diseased Poultry.

Half a century Of experience in breed
ing poultry extensively convinces me
that it does not pay" to spend a great
deal of time in "doetoring" them. The
following states the case clearly: ''The
diseases of fowls are so numerous, and
their origin SO various, that doctoring
them is worse than useless. This being
the case, the best thing that can be done
is to put all sick fowls in roomy box,
placed in a cool spot if the weather be
warm. They should be fed just what
they relish most, and plenty of good, pure
water should be kept supplied. If the
disease is durable, which is often the
case, the bird will die and the rest of the
flock will not be endangered. Sick fowls
should always be removed from the flock
as soon rs possible. Promptness, in this
respect, may be the means of saving the
entire flock from contagion."

Color for IBHIIcr.

The best colori G for butter is q good
mess Of corn chopped with cut hay. My
butter is rich yellow the year round,
from this feed, and have no Alderney
or any other fancy stock, but common
East Shore cattle, which give an abund-
ant supply of milk and butter; good feed
is the secret If farmers feed on dry
fodder and straw, and want yellow butter,
they must use what some of my Attorney
friends do-a small quantity of annatto,
costing ten cents an ounce, enough for
several hundred pounds of butter. Dis
solve it in little warm water add few
grains of super carbonate of soda, which
develops the peculiar yellow principle of
the annatto, which think is the base OF
all the eoloring matter for butter.-A. 2
