Hogs in California.
Stockton Cali Independent.

lblONhtOh NNdi-J independently
The tule lands of this county are ev-
erywhere inhabited by droves of hogs
that have doubtless originally been
propagated for domestic stock, which
have escaped into the jungle and have
become as wild as the famous game in
testing the Black Forest, the hunting of
which affords so much amusement to the
German nobility. They live and thrive
on the succulent roots to be found in the
tules, and appear moderately fat when
ever they are seen. They are exceed
ingly shy, however, and it is only by ac-
cident that one catches a glimpse of
them, as they instinctively avoid the
haunts of men. They are trapped and
caught occasionally in aningeniousman
ner by the tule farmers, who build small
but very strong corrals or pens on their
stamping ground. A heavy gate, made
to drop perpendicularly, is fitted so as to
close the corral when down. This is
raised and held by a trap, to which a
string leading to the ground is attached,
Barley is then scattered on the ground
inside the corral, and in lines
for some distance in different directions
The corral having been built over the
trails of the hogs, they are not long
scenting the barley, and one inside the
corral they can scarcely fail to spring
the trap in eating the barley. A drove
of a dozen or more has before now beer
captured in this manner The young
ones are easily domesticated, but the pIt
ones are slaughtered at once.

Gold from the Roof of the Mint.

The Philadelphia Bulletin says: The
dust which has been allowed to accumu-
late upon the roof of the Philadelphia
Mint during the past twenty-five years
was collected recently, by order of Gov.
Pollock, for the purpose of ascertaining
what proportion of metal it contained.
The roof is of asphalt, and, as it softens,
the dust sticks to it tenaciously. Some
amount of difficulty was consequently
experienced in removing it, but finally
a quantity amounting to one thousand
seven hundred and thirty-two pounds in
weight was removed. This has Just
been submitted to the usual assaying
process, and the result shows that forty
two ounce of standard gold and ninety
six and a half ounces of standard silver
"a total valuation of about SS50-had
been conveyed in the upward flight of
the smoke of the chimney to the place
where it became located for a season. A
similar experiment was tried aquarter OF
a century ago, and out of $50 ounces OF
dust an ounce of gold was extracted
which is now exhibited as a curiosity in
the office of the Assayer. The floors Of
the Mint are swept every week, and the
accumulation preserved, and once :
year the woodwork of the refining
room and the gloves of the employee:
are burned, and the precious dust OBJ
tanned from them, while the residue il
sold to sweep-smelters,

SagacitY of a Connecticut Dog.

TUnionville Conn., Letter to Hartford Times.l
Our neighbor Chauncey Hart has a
dog that is remarkable for his apparent
knowledge of the English language, if
his owners statement is true-and as to
his veracity there is no question. Mr..
Hart is a blacksmith by trade, and has
al acre or SO of land whichhe cultivates,
and during the season of hoeing he rises
at about four o'clock in the morning to
subdue the weeds. His dog is always
with him. When the time arrives for
making a fire to prepare the morning
meal, Nh. Hart goes into the house,
makes a fire, and says to the dog: "Go
call your mistress" He goes immedi-
ately to the bedroom and wakes her.
If she does not notice the call, the dog
will pull the clothes off the bed, and will
not leave until she gets up. IfMr. Hart
sees a pack-peddler coming he says to
the dog: "Carlo, there is a pack-peddle1
coming" He will start off at once, and
prevent his coming on to the premises
On another occasion Mr.. Hart walked
over to a neighbours house Just as the
neighbor came home. with some bone:
he had procured for his chickens, and
threw them out of the wagon. Carlo
got one of them and brought it neal
where they were talking. When Mr.
Hart saw it he said: "Carlo, that bont
doesn't belong to you; go carry it bacl
where you found it, and go home
Carlo carried the bone back to the place
where he got it, trotted offabout ten rod,
towards home and sat down, waiting fol
his master. The neighbor also had
dog about the same size that was inhear
ing. Seeing Carlo where he had sa
down, the other dog picked up the BON
and carried it within a few feet of Carlo
there he laid it down and came back
little way. After waiting a while ant
seeing that Carlo did not take it, h
placed it a little nearer, and came bacl
as before, and waited for Carlo to tax
it, but Carlo would not. The third tim
the bone was placed nearer-very clos
to him this time-but he would no
touch it, but sat there until Nh. Har
went home. When he came, up to wher
the dog was sitting he said: "Carlc
you may have that bone now" Tn
dog Immediately picked itup and carrie
it home. Nothing was said to either do
but the order to carry back the bone
But both dogs seemed to know what wa
said, and the visited dog was determine
that Carlo should accept the proffere
bone as a pledge of friendship and as
h%ospitable entertainment.

FARM AND HONE BREYITIES.

Equal proportions of tu~rpentine, lin

In cleaning paint, put to two quarts

The iii Luck of Northampton. Mass.

For a peaceful old country town the
record of Northampton, Mass, for the
past half dozen years makes d most
amazing story. Back in 1870 the place
bonded itself for $400, 900 to aid the never
built Massachusetts, Central Road. This
is reckoned a dead loss, and the total
payment, interest and all, will be 5000
900 before the debt is extinguished. In
that year the Edwards church was
burned, with a loss of $4,000 above in
surance. In 1874 was the Mill River
disaster by which fifty-one lives were
lost, a great deal of damage done to man.
ufacturing establishments, several in
dustries driven away, and $4,000 worth
of town property lost. Then the town
had to pay $4,000 for the freeing of
Hadley bridge and $4,000 for that at
South Hadley Falls. Then came the
financial panic which has produced not
less than 50, 900, 900 of failure there, in.
Guiding one company whose capital Of
$500, 900 has been wiped out. Then the
old bank was robbed of about 81, 000, 600
and the old church, the pride of the
place, was burned. Now the Hadley
bridge has been carried off by a tornado
Every injurious influence either of design
or accident-malice, Ignorance, fire
wind and water-seems to have beef
spent upon the devoted town. By actua
computation it is reckoned that two
thirds of the amount of the grand lis
has been lost there in six years. Ye
the people are as far as ever from givinI

THIS is the way the Turkish soldiers
look, as seen on the march neal the
Danube: The soldiers looked very
wretched in their shabby and ragged
uniforms of coarse, discolored wooden
cloth, and most of them had their legs
wrapped up in dirty felt, tied with
strings, and wore goatskin sandals instead
of shoes and boots; but their polished
rifles shone brightly in the hot sun, and
the threatening, dark gray insolent eyes,
under bushy brows, gave the bronzed.
square-built fellows a peculiar expression
of energetic wildness. 1t is only fail
to conclude from their very aspect that
they are resolute enough in heart to risk
their lives for the Sultan and their faith

lows, bent on plundering their private.

DOMESTIC HINTS.

Peach CObbler.-Make a rich biscuit
crust; put it rolled thick around the
dish; put in a layer of peaches, then
butter and sugar, and a very little -four,
then peaches, and so on till the dish is
full; cover with thick crust, cut a slit
in the center, and pour in boiling water
till full; bake in a moderate oven.
Watermelon Cake.-White part-two
cupfuls white sugar, half a cupful of
butter, half a cupful soul milk, one tea
spooful soda, two of cream tartar, the
whites of eight eggs, and three cupfuls
-four. Red part-half a pound of red
sugar, half a cupful butter, half a cup
full sweet milk, one teaspoonful soda, two
of cream tartar, the whites of six eggs,
and two cupfuls -four. Put half the
white part in the pan, then the red, with
a few currants sprinkled in to have the
appearance of seeds, then place the re-
naming white part on top.
How to Sweep Carpet icely.-Take
the outer leaves of cabbage, chop them
fine, sprinkle on them a little water,
strew them we the floor, move them
about carefully with a clean broom (if
you have no carpet sweeper), then sweep
a breadth at a time, till every part is
gone over, and you will have little or no
dust, which is so annoying, and which
settles on the pictures and ornaments.
To sweep the stairs use a slop jar with a
little water in it Ito prevent the dust
from fying), take a whisk broom stair
by stair, and a small short brush, like a
%painters's brush, to dust out the corners,
then empty the dust-pan step by steI
into the jar; by this means you have nc
dust to settle on the walls, or fall on the
carpet below, and the troubles of horrible
sweeping days will be greatly alleviated
