MILK JEwELRY.-A new industry
has been started in Mansfield, Massachu-
sets. 1t is no less than the manufacture
of jewery out of sour milk. This seems
a strange anomaly. but it is fact. The
milk comes in the shape of curd from the
butter and cheese making counties in
New York, and looks upon its arrival
great deal like popped corn; but there
il undergoes wonderful change, and re-
ceives the name of American coral. The
secret in making it up is carefully guard
ed, but it is certain that it has to be heatx
ed very hot, during which coloring mat
ter is introduced, followed by very
heavy pressure. Some of it is colored
black and called jet, while some appears
as celluloid. 1t makes very handsome
jewelry, and, and is made into all kinds
and styles known in the trade.-Rurai

account Of a recent cremation service to

CooLIE TRADE.-The Secretary Of the
Navy has received communication
from the commanding officer of the South
Pacific Station to the effect that Ameri-
can merchantmen are engaged in the
coolie trade that is, in the transporta-
tion Of Chinese from China, and the Ma
Wy Department is now considering the
question Of necessary instructions to our
feet to have the laws executed by the
seizure of all such ships. The probsbil-
ty is that such instructions will be speed
lily issued. The Department is advised
that vessel wrecked on one OF the South
Pacific Islands was found to contain fifty
Chinese over and above the number GER
tilted to by the United States Consulate
of the port Of embarkation. 1t is also
represented to the Secretary of the Navy
that coolies had been taken to HsDolulu,
where they are forced to enter into con-
tracts for labor in order to procure their
liberty, and the trade is supposed to be
carried on in utter defiance Of the laws OF
the United States.

ELEcTIoNs.-Although this is an off
year in California poltics-neither Presi-
dental, State nor County elections occur
ring-two very important elections will
take place. The first will be held on the
third Wednesday in June for the purpose
of electing Delegates to the Constitutional
Convention, the Importance of which can
hardly be overestimated, every citizen of
the State being more directly interested in
tho result than ht an ordinary election. -
The interest is. however, more of a local
State nature and should be as far remov-
ed from politics rs can be. The second
election will be altogether political and in
view Of the even balance between parties
in the National Legislature, it assumes
more than ordinary Importance. Califor-
MIA will elect four Congressman on the
9th day Of November, and it is now time
the matter was being agitated and good
men for the positions looked after.

POETRY
MAKE CHILDHOOD SWEET.

Wait not till the little hands are at rest,
Ere you fill them with flowers;
Wait not for the browning tube.ose
To make sweet the last sad hours;
But there is the busy household band,
Your darlings still need your guiding hand,
Oh, ill their lives with sweetness!
Wait not till the little hearts are still.
For the loving look and phrase:
But VI bile you gently chide a fault
The good deed kindly praise.
The word you would speak beside the bier,
Falls sw eeter far on the living ear;
Oh, fill your hearts with sweetnesSI
All! what are Kisses on cold clay lips
To the rosy mouth we press,
When our wee one flies to her mother
arms,
For loves tenderest caressi
Let never worldly bubble keep
Your heart from the Joy each day should
reap,
Circling your lives with sweetness.
Give thanks each morn for the sturdy boys
Give thanks for the fairy girls;
With dover # wealth like this at bone,
Would you rifle the earth for pearls?
Wait not Tor death to gem loves crown,
But daily shower earth's blessings down,
And I'LL young hearts with sweetness.
Remember the homes where the light has
fed,
Where the rose has faded away;
And the love that glows in youthful hearts,
Oh, cherish 1t w lille you mayl
And make your home garden Of flowers,
Where Joy shall bloom through childhood's
hour,
And I'LL young lives with sweetness.

any necessary cruelty. by: ~ Letting
the birds shift for misunderstanding
them loose and putting them upon .
footing with other birds-that is,
taking down the boxes and all other
contrivances for sheltering them;
stop petting and feeding them; stop
supplying them with building mater
ials; let them look out for themselves.
~ Abolish the legal penalties for
killing them. Let boys kill them if
they wish; or let them be trapped and
be used as pigeons or glass balls are
now used. in shooting matches among

cities, which make a business Of
practcing on various of our small
native birds, for which the European
sparrows would be an admirable sub
stitute. answering all the conditions
these marksmen could desire. In
this way the birds might be made q
source of little revenue, instead Of
a burden and pest, as they could be
sold by the city to such persons as
might desire them for sporting pur-
poses. English papers long ago
warned us that the introduction of
these sparrows would prove a great
mistake, and we are now beginning to
find it out.
The Revue AgricOle de Provence
directs the attention of its readers to
shrub, the culture of which, it
states, might prove useful in certain
conditions of soil and climate. The
shrub referred to is no other than our
American bayberry. or wax myrtle
(Myrica cerifera,) which, according
to our French authority, has the pro-
perty of impuring the air in the
neighborhood of marshes, and conse-
qnently of rendering a residence near
such places less unhealthy. Its fruit
is covered with waxy substance,
from which candles may be made that
burn with a very agreeable OdOr.
This shrub, says the ChrOnique d
AcclimatiOn, grows naturally in
marshy places, on the banks of water
courses, and in meadows which are
sufficiently irrigated. It is easily
propagated from the seeds that it
produces in great abundance, as well
as from layers.

This habit is q very curious one, and
different flowers have different hours
for repose. The reason. perhaps, Is
a follows: Flowers which are ferti-
lixed by nocturnal lepidoptera and
other night flying insects would
possess no advantage in remaining
open during the daytime. and those
which are fecundated By bees would

A SOUTHERN JOURNAL AGREES WITH THE
GENERAL.

From the Atlanta Constitutionalist, July 3o1
As temporary brigade commander aud corps officer
of the day Colonel Maxwell was necessarily at tho
front with the picket line. and his testimony which
is that very efficient and observing officer, Is to
the eGsct that not circum stance-not even the r-
regular firing Of pickets skirmshcrs-o occurred to
disturb the prevailing stiffness We INFER from
Colonel NaxwelPs letter that there was not gun
fired previous to tho capture Of the mountain, and
that Bragg's forces, stationed Missionary Ridge,
knew nothing OF the occurrence until courier
brought tho intelligence. Thus does romance slowly
but surely give way the unvaruished facts Of his
tory,
