Queer Quest for a Wife.

The Baltimore Sun says:-Quite SEN
sation was created at the Office of Bayview
trustees in the City Hall yesterday by q
seventy -year-old farmer, who applied for
a permit to visit Bayview Asylum for the
purpose of choosing a wife. The novel
wife seeker is German, living in Bslti-
more county, on the Belair road, and
speaks so little English that his wishes
were not fully understood until addressed
in his mother tongue by Colonel Snyder.
He then stated in a business-like way
that he wanted wife and wished to teke
his choice from the females at Bayview.
The sincerity of the old man in urging
his singular request caused his hearers to
smile, and he appeared annoyed at the
matter being treated with levity. He
said that seven years ago, wanting a wife,
the idea struck him that perhaps he could
find one at Bayview. He obtained per-
mission to visit the institution, made
known his request and was aided by the
superintendent in making ssuitable selec-
ton from the large number on hand. He
popped the question" without cere-
mony. The woman consented and the
marriage ceremony was solemnized,
the couple living very happily together
until her death three years ago. She
made him good frau, be said, and now
that he has revered her memory three
years, be wishes to try the Bayview lot.
tery once more. Colonel Snyder fur
nished permit to the institution, accom-
panied by a note to Superintendent Mitch
ell to accommodate the bearer, and fhe
old man went on his way rejoicing. In
the afternoon he returned to his home in
company with his wife, both of them as
happy as the circumstances would per-
NIT. Pureyor Hiss ungallantly suggests
that if it become generally known that
applicants go to Bayyiew for wives the
institution will have16o be enlarged.

Russian Leaders.

The Grand Duke Nicholas is fne-look
ing, tall, forty-six years old, brother of
the Car, as naughty aprince as the House
of Romanoff has ever produced, and
soldier as devoid of military history as
any review and parade guardsman. Alb
dull Kerim Pasha is the actual Comman-
der-in-Chief of his army. The Grand
Duke Nicholas is a mere fgurehead,
guided and commanded by his Chief of
Staff, Gen. Nepokoytchizky, the Moltke
of Russia. He has been in active service
since the age Of sixteen, or for thirty
years past; but he has had scarcely any
field experience. He spent few days in
Sebastopol during the siege, and was,
when quite youth, attached for some two
wears to the general staff Of the Army of
the Caucasus, where be took part in few
skirmishes with the Cherkesses. He was
brought up as a field engineer, and is at
present the chief of all the military en-
gineers of the empire, with General Tod
tleben as his assistant. The Grand Duke
is married to the daughter of Prince Pc
ter, of Oldenburg, and has two sons one
of whom, the Grand Duke Nicholas, IT,, a
youth of twenty, is with him in the ca
pacity of an aide-de-camp. The Grand
Duke is the third son of Gar Nicholas,
and is accordingly an uncle of the two
princely sailors at present in this country.
The chief of the general staff in the
Danubisn army, and the man who will ac-
tually lead and command the Russian
forces is a Pole. General Nepokoytchiz-
ky's origin has for long time been a
hindrance to his promotion, but his abil-
tiles are too great not to be ultimately
acknowledged. He was, during the war
of 1S53-54, chief of staff in 5th Army
Corps, commanded by General Luders.
Hewas the leading spirit in all the oper-
ations on the Danube during the war, and
has now the incalculable advantage of
operating on field perfectly familiar to
him. He has picked out for Brigadiers
and Division Generals men who served
under him twenty-four years ago as Cap
tains and Majors, and who, accordingly,
know the Danubian region just as well as
he does.-New York Sun.

The Sacramento Boiler works,

At No. Al Fremont street, corner Of Mission,
San Francisco, are busy at several jobs in
their line. In the shop now is q new patent
boiler which they think will be a first-class
thing. 1t is the invention Of Mr.. E. II. Thomp-
son, Of this city, and this is the first one made.
1t is claimed for this boiler that 1t is q great
economiZer Of fuel. 1t will raise steam in
about fifteen minutes, and keep up steam
with about one-third Of the coal used by an
ordinary boiler. This boiler will be used by
Mr.. Miller in grist mill in this city.
They are also making at these works a
small boiler to go into a launch TO be used
on Clear Lake. This launch is to be run by
jets of water forced from It's sides by the
steam, against the water in which it hoats !;
no propeller or wheel will be used. This
principle has lately been tried in England
with more success than when experiments
were made with 1t formerly. The boiler in
this case is quite small and is Of a new type
The same firm made the boilers for the
steamer Ldkeport, which made tWenty-one
miles per hour with her boiler under pressure
OF one hundred and twenty pounds. The
boilers were tested at two hundred and
twenty pounds.
Messrs. Hall & Kelshaw, proprietors Of
these works, inform us that they design, If
possible, to have completed for exhibition at
the next Mechanicsf fair an iron steam
launch, to show the people of this city that
such things can be made here as we'll as in
England. Both Of the proprietors have had
great deal of experience In this line in Eng
land in the large ship-yards, and desire to do
something OF the kind on this coast. They
are making also at present a number of iron
tanks for an oil refinery in Los Angeles
county. They are busiest at present how
ever, in making tanks for the new beet-sugar
mill. This is being built for the California
Sugar Manufacturing Company, an enter
prise which is about ready TO start up at An

American Grape Culture.

To many readers it may be of interest
to learn somewhat of the progress of the
grape culture in this country.
A little over a quarter of century has
passed when the acres devoted to grape
culture numbered barely one hundred.
True, almost every family had one or two
vines; but its growth, as a market fruit,
was little thought of. Time has passed,
and we now stand to-day, ranging from
Maine to Utah and California, with
over one hundred and sixty thousand
acres devoted to vineyard culture. p Add
to this the private gardens in which from
ten to fifty vines are grown; and we
think hundred thousand acres will not
more than cover the ground occupied
There are really no statistics from which
to found any statement, and the one
made has been from forty years OF
records, observations, and memoranda of
travel.
The writer who has been working this
up for the Wine and Fruit Reporter, OF
New York City, has taken all the States
from Maine to California. The southern
part of Illinois is well adapted to many
of the choicest varieties; and the means
of rapid transportation to paying mar
kets, as table fruit, has lately increased
the planting of the vine upon large
scale. In every part of Illinois and In.
diana all the varieties that ripen with the
Concord, or, say early in September, can
be successfully grown, and many Of the
late ripening kinds, such as Goethe, Ca.
tawbs, Wilder, &C., come to perfection il

The Dodge County Democrat, of Ju-
neau, Wis, reports that there are in that
county twenty cheese factories - ten
American, nine Limburger, and one
Switzer. During the season of 1875 the
ten American factories were supplied
with the milk from 2,52O COWS, and the
total number of pounds of cheese manu-
tactured were 49O,246, of which nearly
100000 pounds were made at the factory
at Juneau. The nine Limburger fac
tories were supplied with the milk of
725 cows, and during the season 10000
pounds of cheese were manufactured.
The Switzer cheese factory received
milk from 70 cows, and the total number
OF pounds of cheese manufactured were
6,OOO.-Prairie Farmer.

A New BREED OF DoMEsr1c Gait

A NEW BREED OF DOMESTIC CATTLE
1t is stated in the Turf, Field and
Farm, an agricultural journal, that the
farmers in Nebraska have commenced
the domestication of the buffalo. The
wild animals, while young, are introduced
among herds of the tame stock, of course
only one or two at time. Half and
quarter breeds are found to be very
hardy, and in the yield of milk, the cows
raised of mixed stock give even more
than an average yield of rich milk. The
experiment promises well, as the endur-
ance of the wild animals is impaired to
the domestic stock. In this way the ex-
termination of the species will take new
form, and when wild buffaloes become
legendary creatures the progeny of the
race will still exist in a modified, though
probably more useful form.

DUCKLINGs MORE PROFITABLE THAN
CHIcKENs.-The saying often applied to
young ducks that "they eat more than
they are WORTH" may be a very unjust
one. Several years ago we were
speaking with woman who raised
yearly large numbers of ducks and
chickens, regarding the comparative
amount of food consumed to bring
them to their full growth. She
stated that "ducks eat less in proportion
to their growth than chickens" Our
readers may be surprised at this, but
upon giving the matter a little thought
they will understand the reason. 1t is
because the ducklings reach maturity
sooner than the chickens, and, of course,
the longer it takes to bring a creature to
maturity, the greater the expense, not
only of food, but of time and trouble.
Experiment has demonstrated the fact
that, with the same quantity of food and
care, the ducklings in ninety days from
the shell, may be made to weigh nine
or ten pounds per pair, or over, while
chickens, in the same length of time,
come to weigh only six or seven pounds a
pair. Hence the remark quoted at the
commencement of this paper does not
apply when ducklings are properly and
inteAigently managed.-POultry World

To Force AsPARAeUs.-Am method of
forcing asparagus, introduced by NJ.
Jacquisson, of Chalons, a well-known
horticulturist, consists of an ordinary
wine-bottle with the bottom cut off.
These bottomless bottles, when we'll
corked, are placed over the asparagus
head just as it is beginning to rise above
the ground. The asparagus, being TINS
protected, not only grows fast, but is SO
tender that the whole of it may be eaten.
The air being kept from it, the develop
ment of the woody fibre of the plant is
retarded while that of the cellular tissue
is accelerated. Cultivated in this way,
asparagus is as expeditiously cut as when
grown in the ordinary manner, sufficient
light passing through the bottle to show
when the heads are ready for gathering.
In addition to this, the small amount Of
light which passes through the bottle
gives the asparagus a rosy tinge which
greatly improves its appearance.

OYsTERMEN FROZEN IN.
why the Price Of Oysters has been Doubled
since the Holidays.

The city is experiencing an oyster fam
Inc like that OF 1851 when for six weeks the
markets had no oysters for sale. Chesapeake
bay Is covered with thick ice, and the lne oys-
tiers OF York river, Va, are all frozen over.
In good weather at this season twenty csrgoes
day arrive. Now the average is about one In
three days. 1t Is said that In Boston oysters are
selling for a dollar quart, and Portland, Me-,
has no oysters.
Tim shea, the veteran dealer Of West street,
says. Oysters Is oysters these times, and deal
ers who will do 30 can get almost any price just
now"
The real sufferers are the hardy oyster fisher,
men. In the Chesapeake, two or three hundred
oyster schooners are frozen In. some OF them
are far from land, and In them everything has
been suffered from cold and hunger. In many
cases powerful steam tugs have crushed their
way for lies through the hick Ice, to carry re-
lief to the frozen, starving men. Many OYSTER
men are ice-Uound In the York river Most OF
them drift with IL as IT moves up and down with
the tides, rather than anchor and run the risk OF
being cut down by the ice. This necessarily in
wolves constant vigilance, and the men are be-
coming exhausted. The current price of oysters
is 100 per cent. higher than just before the holt
days.
