Lflium Auratum.

A correspondent Of the New York
Tribune says Of the cultivation Of this
queen Of lilies: Ny plan was to excavate
the soil eight inches in depth, and after
filling in the bottom with about six
inches Of small stones for drainage I
sprinkled over these some coarse leaves
and filled up the bed with old rOtted
sOds, originally from fence-corners, and
rich in decayed vegetable matter. The
surface of the bed was raised few
inches above the surrounding lawn, and
my bulbs, ffty-fYe in number, inserted.
Each bulb was placed in clean river
sand, so that the soil should not touch
them; hence 1 have had no rot, althohgh
nearly three years planted. The stems
have been increasing in strength each
year, and the number of flowers on each
has increased rs well, as many as four
teen blooms to the bulb in more than one
instance. For several consecutive days
I have counted over 100 flowers on this
bed, and the delightful fragrance emit
ted, especially in the morning, it is diff
cult to excel.
During winter I give the surface Of
the bed thick coat Of rotted cow-dung
but rake it of in early Spring before
the young plants appear. Lilies, and
particularly the L. auTatUm, dislike ma.
nuTe in contact with their roots; the
drainage during winter supplies all that
is necessary, unless we apply an occa-
siOnal dose Of very weak liquid manure
during the Towering season as a slight
stimulant. 1 frequently syringe the
plants, as well as the soil, during sum-
mer, emitting it, however, after they
have blOOmed to allow the bulbs to ripen
thoroughly before winter. Each stem
should be tightly fastened to a stout
stake. as the wind not only lOOsens their
hold of the soil, but, when left unprO-
tected, breaks them off. All manner
Of lilies love moisture during the grow
ing season, but many Of them, and es-
pecially the L. auratUm, prefer a drain
age at the roots to carry off the surplus.
Iattribute my excellent success with the
entire family to this important feature
always drain well.

The Brazilians,

One unacquainted with their national
character would imagine we were re-
sidi"g among a nation of fire eaters;
but in few counties is the personal
dignity of man sunk to a lower ebb than
in Brazil. During a nine years resi-
dence I never heard of a single duel;
no natural assassination being the fash
iOnable mode Of Yindicating outraged
honor. The rigid state of seclusiOn in
which females, are kept, deprives sOci-
ETY. Of that fascinating polish of exter-
ior cast Overits surface in other cOQn-
tries by the influence Of the female sex.
The mind Of the Brazilian female is
left in all the wild luxuriance Of uneul-
tivate nature; her existence is mon
otOny itself, gliding on its dull course
in the society Of her slaves, to whom in
point of intellect she is little superior;
but her manners are soft and gentle,
and her sensibilities, when reused, have
all the fiery energy Of her native cline.
Interes ting, rather than beautiful, her
sedantary life tinges her cheek with
sickly hue; while early marriage gives
to her figure an exuberant embonpOint,
which, however, in the Oriental taste
Of the country, is considered the beau
ideal Of beauty in both sexes. In this
precocious climate ladies are grand
mothers at seYen-and-twenty. Female
education is an absolute nullity; that
Of the other sex is not of a more eley-
ated character. With the exception Of
those who have pursued their studies
abroad, it is extremely rare to meet
with any one who possesses even ele-
mentary knowledge on any branch of
science or polite literature. Few among
them ever take the trouble of reading
their own beautiful Dusiad. IndOlent,
addicted to gambling, and a slave to
the grossest sensuality, which but too
often degenerates into the most crimi-
nal excesses, all the finer feelings of our
nature are early blunted in the mind Of
the Brazilian, who bears the loss Of his
nearest and dearest friends with an K
difference amounting to apathy.

Trials Of NemsnaDar Men.

One Of the greatest trials of the news
paper profession is that its members
are compelled to see more of the shams
Of the world than any profession.
Through every newspaper Office, day
after day, go all the weakness Of the
world, all the vanities that want to be
puffed; all the revenges that want to
be repeated; all the mistakes that want
to be corrected; all the dull speakers
who want to be thought eloquent, all
the meanness that wants to get its
wares noticed gratis in the editorial
columns, in order tn save the tax of the
advertising columns; all the men who
want to be set right who were never
right; all the cracked Drained philoso-
pliers, with stories as long as their
hair, and as gloomy as their finger
nails in mourning because bereft Of
soap-all the bOres who come to stay
five minutes, but talk five hours.
Through the editorial and reporter
ial rooms, all the fOIlies and shams of
the world are seen day after day, and
the temptation is to believe in neither
God, man or women. 1t is no surprise
to me that in this profession there are
some skeptical men; I only wonder that
journalists believe anyLhing.-De W.T.

A Skunk In a Cellar.

One morning last month we found a
skunk in our cellar, where the milk Of
twenty COWS was kept, and adjoining
other cellar rooms where butter was
packed, and the meats and other family
edibles weie stored. The cellar win
dows had been hooked open to give the
milk the benefit of the cool night air,
and the skunk had crept in between
the iron window rods and fallen to the
bottom. He could not escape, even
with our aid, by the difficult cellar
stairs, and we felt sure he could aVenge
his death By destroying tens or even
hundreds Of dollars of property by one
discharge of his doubly distilled es-
sence of West end" In such a di-
lemma we concluded that strategy and
brain-power were more potent th9n
pluck or muscle, and a council of war
was called. After discussing various
plans, it was decided that a skunk can
fire On'y when he has the use Of certain
muscles; that these muscles can be
used only when he is on his feet; and
finally one remembered that skunk
could be caught and carried by the tail
with perfect safety. His legs then beat
nothing but air, and the fighting
muscles ca not be used.
Acting On this suggestion, two mon
went into the cellar, and while one at
tracted his attention by the feint Of
front attack, the other quietly ap-
preached within reach Of his tail, by
which he was quickly lifted from the
ground. Then the battle WIS won. In
that position he was harmless as a kit
ten. We could now study his black
and white glossy 6Oat Of hair, and every
feature and limb Of his dreaded skunk
ship without danger. By changing
hands, one carried him 100 rods from
tie house, where he was safely killed.
An old skunk viii seldom run or hi e,
but Will face and follow an attacking
party, and when near he will fire. In
the night, a lantern or other light may
be set down near one, which will so at
tract and enrage him that a person can
safely approach him from the rear with
a club and kill him with a blow. If
found in ones cellar, it would be safest
to wait till night, and by a deeOy light
any person could easily approach and
safely catch a skunk and remove it from
the house.-O1oOnaagO IN Tribune.

Some interesting experiments made
in Germany in the production Of local
anRsthesia show that if the hand be i'm
mersed for a short time in e-water Sc
we're pain is caused, but that no such
pain is produced on immersing the hand
in cold alcohol, not even when the tenn
perature Of the alcohol is as low as five
degrees Cent. Glycerine was found to
possess a similar property. Ether Occa-
stoned pain, and quicksilver more acute
pain still, causing the speedy withdraw
al Of the finger when plunged into this
liquid at a temperature of three degrees.
1t was next ascertained that on the finger
being held for long time in alcohol
having a temperature of five degrees
Cent. no pain was experienced, and, al
though the finger distinctly perceived
the faintest touch, sharp pricks gave no
pain. This seems to show that the ap-
pHcation of cold alcohol, one of the
most simple as well as safe processes,
has the effect Of depriving the part Of
the special sensibility to pain without,
however, impairing the delicacy of the
general tactile sensation which, as is
well known, resides in the superficial
integument.
