A Brave French Pilot.

A French naval paper states that the
minister of marine and colonies has
awarded a gold medal Of the first class to
Mr.. Cecconi, for plotting q French trans
mort through the Suez canal under
peculiar circumstances. The transport
in question, the Correze, left Saigon in
July last to bring home about 5VO col
diers and other passengers returning
from Cochin China. Shortly after leav-
ing, cholera broke out on board, and,
consequently, on the arrival of the vessel
at Suez she was placed in quarantine in
the small port of Gebelel-Tor, in the
Red sea. On the 18th of September she
again presented herself to pass through
the canal; but the Egyptian sanitary
authorities refused to allow her to enter,
and decided that she must again 60 into
quarantine. Anxious to expedite the re-
turn of the troops to France, the minis.
ter of marine wrote to the authorities OF
the Suez canal, begging them to suggest
some means for getting the ship into the
Mediterranean. One plan only could be
thought Of; namely: to ask if any of the
pilots would volunteer to 60 on board
the Correze, take her through the canal,
and remain on board until the vessel
reached Toulon. Mr.. Cecconi accepted
the perilous mission, and the Correze was
thus enabled to continue her lOng-delay.
ed voyage. The medal is to be presen.
ted to the brave pilot by the captain OF
the next transport passing the canal or
the way to Cochin China, and the honor
able distinction awarded to the former il
also to be entered on his certificate.

Catching Cold,

The eason of the year is now upon us
when people everywhere will be taking
cold, and in many cases they will suffer
much and die. A little care would often
prevent it. In the first place. as one of
the means to prevent a cold, the daily
bath in a warm room, with much friction,
is very important. In no case should
the body be chilled. Use much friction
Over the chest and throat, and snuff into
the nostrilsa ~little..of the water warmed to
a comfortable temperature. Next, after
the bath, take daily exercise in the open
air, neither too much nor too little, ex-
posing the body somewhat to the cold
and the sun for a short time, but v
exhausting it. One chief danger from
cold is the exhausted state of the body
that first occurs, so it is not unable to
able to resist ~unfavorable influences.
People who are not very vigorous should
avoid over exertion and keep the strength
up to the highest point. It will help
those prone to a cold to sleep all they
can. Another cause of colds is eating
too heartily after a days work, when
there are not forces enough to digest the
food and keep up the circulation. Eat
moderately at night if you would avoid
= cold. A cold in its early stages may be
broken by hot foot-baths, warmth to the
body, especially a hot pack or a hot bath
at night in such cases. When you have
a cold don't eat much or work much
unless you have great physical strength,
when a hard days work may be a good
thing to equalize The circulation and
restore the action of the skin, which
always suffers when one takes cold.

A Debatable Question.

Whlle mucn mas been written concern
ing the use of "put up" medicines, the
question is still an open one, and demands
of the people a careful consideration. The
answered as follows: lst-Are the sick
capable of determining their real condi.
ton, the nature of their malady, and select
ing the proper remedy or means of cure?
2d-Can a physician, no matter how skillful,
prepare a universal remedy, adapted to the
peculiar ailments of a large class of people,
residing in different ATTITUDES, and subject to
various climatic influences? In answer to
the first proposition, we would say, diseases
are named and known by certain /" signs" or
symptoms, and, as the mother does not need
d physician to tell her that her child has the
whooping-cough, or indicate a remedy, so
people when afflicted with many of the
symptoms c~oncomitant to impure blood"
torpid liver" and "bad Digestion" re.
quire no other knowledge of their condition,
or the remedy indicated, than they already
possess. Second proposition-Many ply
sicians argue that diseases are sectionally
peculiar, and that their treatment must
therefore vary, and yet q%uinine, NOR.
phine, po~dophyllin, n hundreds of
other remedies are prescribed IN
all countries to overcome certain
conditions. Is it not, therefore, self-eyident
that q physician whose large experience
has made him familiar with the many phases
incident to all impurities of the blood, general
and nervous debility, Hrer complaint, dyspep-
sid, consumption, and cdtdrrdh, can prepare
a series of remedies exactly adapted to meet
the conditions manifest, wherever, and by
whatever means, it may have been engen-
dered? The family medicines prepared by
X. V. Pierce, NJ. D., of Buffalo, n. Y, fulfill
the above requirements. Many physicians
prescribe them in their practice. His Gold.

The Pope's Dream.

1t is said that about three months be-
fore his death, Pho Mono dreamed that
some white bread was placed before him
which he was obliged to leave for Others.
He told his dream to his attendants the
next morning, and a he did so he was
approached BY the ascetically inclined,
stern visaged Cardinal Panebianco.
Thereat the pope exclaimed, "Ah, here
Is the white bread (pame bianco) l
dreamed Of" There are people in Rome
who believe that the dream augured the
election Of Panebianco as the successor
OF Plus TX. He is a monk in his tastes
and habits in spite Of his rank as a car
dinal, and keeps n far as possible to the
mode Of life which he followed in the
convent, eating the same kind of food
from the anne kind of q dish a. the
brothers eat, and sleeping on the same
kind of q bed, hard and narrow. A

Some years ago the late Horace Mann,
the eminent educator, delivered an ad-
dress at the opening of some reformatory
institution for boys, during which he re-
marked hat if only one boy was saved
from ruin, it would pay for all the cost
and care and labor Of establishing such
an institution as that. After the exer-
cises had closed, in private conversation,
a gentleman rallied Mr.. Mann upon his
statement, and said to him: "Did you
not color that a little, when you said that
all the expense and labor would he repaid
if it only saved one boy!" "Not If 1t
aas my boy" was the solemn and con-
vincing reply.

and the new white tipped scarlet French
seed), are all about equally ealy. The
last named is very distinct ami pretty,
and in every way desirable. Oithe late
or winter radishes, the China rye color
ed, black and white Spanish are ell good.
Spinach-We find that tie Savoy
leaved is by far the best, giving nearly
twice the weight of crop on tie same
space. 1t is somewhat singular that the
great value of this variety seems to have
been overlooked by the market gardeners
of New York, and they have only re-
Gently woke up to it on seeing it sent in
by the growers from Norfolk, Va, md
other southern points.
Tomatoes-SOwn March 9Th, we're
carefully trnsplanted twice, and set cut
in open ground May Goth. This was ,he
most puzzling trial We made, as it vas
difficult to impartially pick out three or
four as the best among so many. Cana
da Victor was, by a majority Of cens.rs,
Judged the earliest and best, though
Conquerer and New York Market re-
semble it, and they are evidently all
nearly allied to each other. Arlington,
a valuable variety, but little later, is ex-
ceedingly prolific, large, ard smooth,
and this and Excelsior are the favorite
varieties for canning. Trophy is late,
but its other excellent qualities still
leave it in the field. Golden Trophy, a
beautiful yellow variety, is in every way
worthy of cultivation. The very early
varieties, such as Little Gem, 100 Days,
Keys Prolific, ripened a few fruit 10
days before those above named, but all
these varieties are worthless for market
purposes, because the difference in earli-
ness Of $50 miles further south, brings in
the finer sorts, cheap enough to take
their place until the better sort 'ripen,
l have but little hope in any further i'm
provement in ~earliness Of the tomato.
We have made no advance ON Keys Pro-
life, sent out seven or eight years ago,
and that earliness was Mt the expense of
both size and quality, while in the good
market sorts it is doubtful If there is
anything much in advance of a good
stock of New York Market, which has
been in culture for 25 years.
Turnips-Red and White Top, Strap
leaf, are earliest. Purple White Globe
is nearly as early, and will prove a more
marketable sort from its larger size.
Yellow Globe for second early, is one of
the best for general crop. In Ruta
Bagas, the American grown seed of the
Purple and Green Top varieties proved
better in every case than some halt dozen
kinds of varieties tried, with the excep-
ton of the Long White French, a variety
of excellent flavor and otherwise desira-
bic.
Egg Plant-New York improved is
rather the earliest ut Black Pekin is to
our taste the bes favored; they are
nearly alike productive.
Endive-Moss curled, green curled and
Batavian.
