Pretty NihiIist's Deed.

A st. Petersburg correspondent writes:
Thus far the authorities have only been
able to arrest three men and one young
lady. The latter, Miss Agramowskaja,
n young girl of seventeen, of eXtraordi-
nary beauty and splendidly educated.
She was the one who defied the Cossacks
to take the conspirators without taking
her along. 1t was near the Plaza, when
two workingmen and one nobleman,
Krotoff, passed near her, and she, with
the agility of young maiden, jumped
to the pavement and kissed Mr.. Krototf,
bidding him good cheer. The officer of
the patrol having charge of the prison
trs ked her whether she sympathized
with the, work done by the pr isoners,
and displaying a nicely mounted revol-
she said: AYE, aye; / dow Quick as
lightning the officer told one of the
guards to arrest her; but before she was
even secured, she cooked, aimed and
fired her pistol, killing outright the COM
mander of the guard. He fell from his
horse, his body bleeding fearfully, while
Miss Agramowskaj a assured the crowd
that surrounded the terrible scene that
this was the Russian revolution in all its
bearings and movements. "This blood
will help us to freedom" she exclaimed
in grand tones, :" and now / am going
to Siberia to bring back thousands of
our fellow-heings who are suffering for
the want Of liberty" She left the bloody
scene, poor soul, looking more like n
maniac than reformer, and with the
blood of the commander of the guard on
her hands; she was chained to the
wagon that ended the miserable process
sion as it passed along the horrible
street of Kison.

LaadYlIIe.

The Gugette Company of Colorado
Springs has published "A pamphlet Civ
ing an account of the wonderful mining
camp of Leadville, which is the Mecca
of fortune hunters in these days. Within
two years it has grown from nothing to
Il city of more than twenty thousand in
habitants, with three daily newspapers,
water works, theaters and the principal
concomitants of civilized life. None of
the California towns in the flush of the
gold fever exhibited n more rapid devel-
Opment. If the tide Of emigration con-
tinues there will be such II growth to
LeadVille as is unparalleled in history.
It's prosperity appears to be based on a
sound foundation, and the deposits of
silver bearing ore not only show no
signs of diminution, but are constantly
being developed into still greater rich
ness. The ore is not only the richest
which has been discovered in this coun-
try, but is easily reached and reduced
by simple processes. There seems to be
no reason why the prosperity of Lead
Vile should not be as lasting as that of
Virginia City, New, although in the
press and struggle of its present condi-
tion it is not a very inviting place of
residence, except for those who are
ready to sacrifice a great deal for the
chance of making sudden fortune, in
which the majority will be disappointed,
as mining rapidly reduces itself to con-
ditions requiring capital, skill and pa
tient industry, and particularly is this
the case with silver mining. To the
multitude of those who may be tempted
to emigrate to Leadyille, it is safe to give

Admiral Ammen,s ReroIntion.

This anecdOte is told of Admiral Am
men, who represented the United States
at the conference in Paris, respecting the
proposed Nicaraguan inter-oceanic ship
canal: Soon after the California gold
fever broke out, the Admiral, then Cap
tain Ammen, was ordered to take com
mand of three or four hundred recruits,
and convey them from New York to
California by way of Central America.
Beside these men. the vessel was crowded
with women and children on their way
to join husbands and fathers in the land
of gold. Six days out from New York
the sailors showed symptoms of insubor-
dination, and finally mutinied outright,
the ships crew joining in the revolt.
The captain lost control of his men, and
the suspense that followed was agoniz-
ing. Suddenly, before the mutineers
had chance to agree on any concerted
plan of action, the young naval officer
appeared on deck in full uniform, and
ordered his recruits to their places, coun-
selling the crew in the meantime to re-
turn to their duties. The leader inso-
lently ordered him to step down from
there" there" being the quarter deck.
He did step down; a growl of triumph
went up from the insubordinates, and
shudder of horror ran through the pas
sengers, who had hoped against hope,
that the will of one man could control
the threatening storm. Then Captain
Ammen walked quickly forward, took
piece of chalk from his spocket, and draw
ing line across the deck, said, in u
quiet way that he would Shoot the first
man that crossed it. Then he drew out
pistol, and waited the result. A shout
of derision went up, and the leader
en- nd wit afh ,lNrf 70 fn1
shot to the heart; he was followed by
another and another, both of whom
shared the same fate, the three bodies
forming an ugly barricade. The quiet
bravery of the man, his promptness and
unerring aim, coupled with his vested
authority, told on the mutineers, and
soon the revolt was over, the leaders in
irons, quiet restored and the lives of
hundreds of passengers were saved.

- Practical Science. /"

Under tho above heading the st. Croix
Courier, of st. Stephen, N. b., in referring to
the analysis Of DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and Sage's Catarrh Remedy, re-
Gently made by Professor Chandler, of New
York, and others, says: Nothing was dis
covered which we think Objectionable, and the
published analysis should increase, rather than
retard, their sale To us it seems a little unjust
to call n man quaok simply because he seeks
to reap as much pecuniary reward as other
Glasses of inventors" The English press is
conservative, yet after careful examination
OF all the evidence, it not only indorses but
recommends the Family Medicines manufac-
tured by DIR. Pierce. No remedies ever offered
the afflicted give such perfect satisfaction as
DIR. Piorce's Golden Medical Discovery and
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.

Layering Grapevines.

There is nothing new to majority OF
our readers in the following sugges-
tions by practical grape-grower. But
there is always a rising generation to be
educated, or a new class of men and
women who are benefited by practical
hints. The writer says in the Country
Gentleman:
Being a practical grape-gro over, l
can give few hints about layerimg
grapevines which might be of interest to
some of your readers. | select vines that
have one or two good canes from six to
eight feet long; tie them down horizon
tally to small stakes about six inches
from the ground, until the new shoots
are about eight inches long; then loosen
up the ground in the direction where the
canes are to be layered, leaving n little
trench about four inches deep. The
| shoots which start from the under side
are broken off altogether, the others are
stripped of the lower leaves, and the
whole is put in the trench and covered
with an inch of soil, filling the trench up
| about a week later. To insure the root
ing of the layer, get copper wire 1872
of an inch thick; cut in pieces IL
inches long, and with small plyers
take a twist around the cane at every
joint, on the side next to the parent vine,

cannot go back, and this helps the for

do not root very readily without being
wired. By this process l have raised as
many as twenty good layers from one
vine, besides two good canes for another
years layering. AS matter. of course,
all the bloom, on layer as well as on pa
rent vine, must be pulled off.

FARM, GARDEN, AND HOUSEHOLD.



VICToRIAs.-One cupful sugar, one
ing, one teaspoonful of soda dissolved in
one pint of water; beat butter and sugar
together, add the water, stir in enough
flour to make thin batter; bake on hot
griddle without turning over; butter
each one the instant it is done.
HoRTCAKE.-Prepare the dough as
for biscuit, only much richer; roll out
two crusts nearly as thin rs for pie crust /;
put them together, spreading a little
butter between them; bake in a quick
oven. When done, place the fruit or
preserves between the crusts. When it
is not in the fruit season, dried fruit or
preserves make very good substitute.
DRY BREAD AND Cold MEAT UTIL-
IzED.-Chop your beef very fine, then
soak your bread in cold water till it is
very soft; take it in the hands and
squeeze as much of the water out as you
can, having tw N-thirds us much bread
as meat; mix the bread and meat
thoroughly together; beat three eggs
well and mix in; add salt to taste !;
make in balls the size of biscuit, and
fry slowly in butter or cooking fat till
brown on both sides.
MUTTON STEw.-Three pounds OF
breast mutton, one teaspoonful of salt,
six potatoes, four onions, two carrots,
one pinch of black pepper. Stew the
mutton in water just sufficient to cover
it, until tender. Skim off the fat, and
add the vegetables, pared and cut up
into thin slices. 1t is more delicately
favored if the meat before stewing is cut
into small pieces, and when the vege-
tables are added, all is put in layers in a
clean stew pan, covered with the liquor,
and then closely covered to keep in the
steam while cooking. Stew one hour.
TOMATO SoUP.-Take neck piece or
from the round-two or three pounds of
beef; remove every particle of fat, and
cut the meat into very small pieces; put
into the kettle with two or three quarts
of cold water, and simmer for one hour;
as the scum rises remove, and keep the
kettle covered; strain the meat from the
broth, and add aquart oftomatoes which
have been pressed through a colander,
with bunch of parsley, and boil twenty
minutes; cut and scrape the kernels from
three earsof sweet corn, and add to the
soup, with half teacupful of sweet
cream, two small tablespoonfuls of
flour, pepper and salt; boil fifteen min
utes, and serve.

strawberry Cultivation.

To cultivate the strawberry in gar
dens for family use, Messrs. Ellwanger
& Barry, of Rochester, n. Y, recon-
mend planting in beds four feet wide,
with an alley two feet wide between.
Those beds will accommodate three
rows of plants, which may stand fifteen
inches apart each way and the outside
row nine inches from the alley. These
beds can be kept clean, and the fruit
can be gathered from them without
setting the feet upon them. We find
from experience that no more convent
ent mode can be adopted than this. The
ground should be well prepared by
trenching or plowing at least eighteen to
twenty inches deep, and be properly en-
riched, as for any garden crop.
The season for planting depends upon
circumstances. 1t may be done with
safety from the time that plants begin to
grow in the spring until they are in
blossom and again in the fall, from the
time the young plants are sufficiently
rooted until the freezing of the ground.
1t is well, however, to plant at time
when the plants will at once commence
growing. II planted in warm, dry
weather, as August or September, it is
necessary to water the ground thoroughly
before planting, and then to shade the
plants until they have begun to root.
The culture subsequent to planting
consists in keeping the ground among
the plants clear of weeds and frequently
stirred with hoe or fork; to keep the
runners closely pinched until after the
fruit is gathered, and to mulch the
ground among the plants, before the
fruit begins to ripen, with two inches
deep of cut straw or short grass NOW
ings from the lawn, or anything OF
that sort, to keep the fruit clean and
the ground from drying. In exposed
situations. or where the winters are Sc
we're, with little snow for protection, q
slight covering of leaves or litter will
be of great service. This can be raked
off and the beds dressed at the opening
of the growing season. A bed managed
in this way will give two full crops,
and should then be spaded down, a new
one having been in the meantime pre-
pared to take its place.

Pansies.

These lovely flowers are universal
favorites, and no bouquet is quite COM
plete without them. They are very
easily cultivated, and bloom from early
spring till the ground is frozen. There
is something almost human in the ex-
preston of the flowers, as they so modest
ly raise their petals from their lowly bed
to catch the sunbeams. Cultivation has
done more to improve their size and
beauty than almost any other plant
Their rich hues from the dark royal pur-
pie to the brightest blue, combined with
the shades of rich orange to the most
delicate cream calor, make bed of pam
sizes one of the loveliest for n yard or gar
den. They thrive best in mellow loan
enriched by decayed leaves or wood
Chip dirt scraped from the bottom of the
woodshed is an excellent guano for the
pansy bed. They need moisture and
shade, and grow best where brilliant
flowers languish. Country Gentleman.
