DAME, webster and Edward Everett.

The following anecdote Of these two
eminent men is from the "Reminisce-
ences Of Daniel Webster" by his friend
Peter Harvey, recently published: 81
well remember, in the year 1S47, when
riding with Mr.. Webster to the Dedham
Agricultural Fair Ground. on pleasant
September day, he said: Il have been
thinking over what l propose to say if
called upon to make speech. Mr..
Everett was born in the county of Nor
folk; and, although it is not always
wise to say complimentary things TO a
mans face, still 1 may never have a
better opportunity, and I shall tell the
Norfolk county people to day what l
think of their distinguished son. When
was appointed Secretary of State the
first time, by General Harrison, one Of
the very first things l did, in the way
of foreign appointments, was to select
Mr.. Everett to represent the govern
ment at the Court of st, James. In such
appointments, it has always seemed TO
me that we should choose men Of char
acter, who would represent the country
at large, rather than be influenced by
the bias of our party; for foreign nations
Judge of our people by the representa-
| tive men whom we send out to them.
Since that time have had many letters
from eminent statesmen abroad, thank
ing me for sending Mr.. Everett; for, in
choosing him to represent us in the
presence of the English people, L sent
them a man as we'll versed in their own
history as any man living, with the ex-
ception of Macaulay. l am going to
tell these people to day just what think
of Mr.. Everett, for honor him and love
him.
"In the address which he delivered
upon this occasion, he carried out his
intention formed in the carriage; and,
greatly to the surprise of every one,
and to the astOnishment of Mr.. Everett
himself, pronounced noble eulogy
upon his friend. Though he was to
come in town in the afternoon, and the
carriage was at hand, he waited, saying.
''Let US stop a moment, and see what
Mr.. Everett says"
"Mr. Everett unconsciously flushed
rose and said: st would not be be-
coming in me to handy compliments
with my illustrious friend, He has seen
flt to compliment me upon my attain
ments in international law. l should
not dare to say here how much personal
friendship may have had to do with the
picture he has drawn; but this | will
say, take from that knowledge of inter-
national law what we learned at his
feet, and there would be nothing lett
worth mentioning.

TOMATO SAUCE.-Take half a canful
of tomatoes; put in a stew pan, adding
half an onion, sliced, little thyme,
bay leaf, a head of celery, a tablespoon
full of sugar, a teaspoonful of salt and
one of pepper, piece of butter the size
OF a large egg, and small piece of ham ;
let these simmer slowly until the celery
is tender. then add tablespoonful OF
Hour moistened, and little cayenne
pepper; boil five minutes, and taste to
see if it is highly seasoned; strain

stew pan until 1t adheres rather thick

Mohair was originally a stuff made of
the hair of wild Minor-Asiatic goat,
called ''mo;" whence mohair, abbrevi-

Palestine, whose gates Sampson carried
away, for gaze, or gauze. GAIA means
treasure; and precious to the fair is the
tissue which covers without hiding
their charms. Voltaire wishing to de-
scribe some intellectual but perhaps
dressy woman, said: ''She is an eagle
in cage of gauze." Muslin owes its
name to Mossoul, fortified town in
Turkey, Asia. Tulle is a city in the

A Nep Erplosire.-Heracline is the
name of a new explosive agent, alleged
to have been invented by an Austrian
manufacturer. 1t is said that 1t cannot
be exploded by blow or by friction,
but only by contact with flame i'm a
CLOSED vessel, and that it can be made
at one third the cost of dynamite. For
mining purposes the new explosive acts
with much greater energy, and pro-
duces greater effect than either dyna-
mite or gunpOwder, but it would be
advisable to await furthe details, as the
inventor Is stated to have patented it in
Austria.

HOOP USED to tell a story of hypo-
chOndriac, who was in the habit, two
or three times a week, of believing him.
self dying. On certain occasion he
had one OF his terrors while riding out
in his gig, and happening to see his
family physician he applied the whip
TO the horse to overtake the old doctor.
The doctor applied the whip to his own
horse, and they had a close time of it
for about three miles. The. hypochOn-
driac finally came alongside the doctor
and exclaimed, "Hang it, doctor, pull
up! Pull up instantly! 1 am dyingr'

PLANTING PoTAToEs.-Somep persons

them to lie few days and dry, before
planting A few years ago | had just
the eyes taken out singly and left 10 dry,
and then planted one eye every ten
inches in the row by pressing it down
with any finger to a depth of nearly four
inches. The ground being level, was
so kept until the second cleaning, when
the plow was run to throw the furrow
toward the row of potatoes and leave it
about one foot level across the top.
From the single eyes | gathered larger
crop than from potatoes cut in halves
and whole ones, the land and culture
being The same.

SHEEP KILLING DoGS.-The dog that
once kills sheep can never be broken
of the habit. They kill them by tearing
open the large veins in the neck and
sucking the blood. A dog who is ad-
dicted to this habit will teach other
dogs They gen rally travel in pairs,
a large dog and small one, although
sometimes single dog will kill sheep.
They are very cunning about it, and
none but green dog will kill sheep
in the daytime, while they often go
long distances from home instead of
killing a sheep near by. The first time
dog kills a sheep he will suck the
blood and eat some and be satisfied. He
will soon learn 10 kill several, sucking
the blood until he is full. eating no
flesh the first night.
When your sheep are killed by dogs,
say nothing about it, but skin the dead
sheep, cut four or five gashes in the
shoulder, put small amount of first
class strychnine in the gashes, and let
them lie in the place in which you found
them. The first night after the killing
there will be no dogs on hand, but the
second night they will come and in the
morning you will find them severely
punished for their depredations.

AGRICULTURE.

SWEET PoTAToEs.-Tothes spot chosen
to bear sweet potatoes the coming year,
Mr.. Jones hauls out in the fall the ac-
cumulated manure of the season, and
spreads at the rate of something like
fined, dissolved and mellowed by expo
sure. In course of the month Of April
he plows the patch, but not more than
three inches deep; and day or two
before putting out the sets, late in May
he casts the land into shallow ridges
by turning the burrows together, being
careful the loose earth is not more than
six inches deep, and at the top of the
ridge sets the plants and cuitivates in
the usual manner. Mr.. Jones' theory
is that the sweet potato is gross feeder,
but its roots feed only near the surface,
and that in order to have the tubers de-
yelop to their smoothest and largest
proportions, there must be a certain
amount of resistance in the soil, and
they find that in the undisturbed clay
loan below.
Whatever the soil and depth of plow-
ing, the land must be thrown up into
ridges just previous to setting out the
plants. A Virginia grower recommends
making these ridges only twenty-eight
or thirty inches apart, from centre to
centre. Some growers prefer them three
feet apart, for ease of cultivation after
the vines have made considerable
growth. When the ridges are close to
gether the plants are set at the same
distance apart from each other, thus
making rows both ways, and allowing
cross cultivation when the plants are
Young. If the rows are three feet apart
the plants are set eighteen or twenty
inches apart in the rows. The after
cultivation is simply to keep the ground
mellow and free from weeds. A Vir-
ginia correspondent states that three
shovel plow is the best implement for
cultivating sweet potatoes. There are
two narrow shovels forward, which
scrape the sides of the ridges, and a
wide shovel in the rear Immediately
replaces the earth upon the ridges.
The mode of planting out in the field
is the same. The sweet potatoes are
cut in halves and laid cut side down on
the earth in the hot-beds, and covered
with earth. As fast as the sprouts are
large enough, they are pulled oil and
set out, or packed for sale or shipment.
