MACARONI N HAM.


Mr.. Joseph Jefferson, during his re.
cent visit to his orange grove plantation,
has been actively engaged in applying
to practice q cherished theory-that
every country possesses sufficient ma
terial for it's own fences He set to
work to prove it by erecting for each
side of his fence sods three feet in
width, divided into five layers, at an
angle Of rs degrees. The soil from be.
meath the sod exactly fills the space
between the erected sods, leaving a
~three-f0Ot ditch on each side. On top
of this sod-and-soil fence, which is four
and a half feet at the base and three feet
high, he plants cuttings of the Macart-
ney rose, which are protected by a panel
of boards. This fence, while within the
reach of any man who will shoulder his
spade and work, possesses the advantages
of an impossible barrier, the permanence,
of not needing repairs, of drainage and
OF being q most beautiful ornament.
Mr.. Jefferson will soon have enclosed a
section of his plantation containing {, 1000
acres, and at one-half the cost OF a stake
fence. Without being over sanguine az
to its rapid adoption, we feel safe in say
ing that it is the most economical and
useful fence in the southern states, and
destined to come into general use.-MeU

there are many b~roken.down builders

the day they had anything to do with a
Goelet lease. The largest building
erected on 0oelet land ID the Windsor
hotel, which was sold under foreclosure
. few weeks ago. The Goelets had
mortgages on it amounting to about
$50 00, for money advanced TO build

money, became insane and hanged him
self in . shanty across the East river.
His heirs held the property, but it
finally became too heavy for them.
Mortgage interest fell due; they could
not pay, and a foreclosure was ordered.
A representative of the Goelets attended
the sale and bid up until the price went
above the mortgages. He then with
drew and other parties continued the
bidding until 1851, 900 was reached, and
the property wal knocked down to an
agent Of the DAILY heirs. At the time OF
MI. Days death the value Of the prop.
erty was estimated at $75O,O00.

other man in New York, the present
head of the Aston family excepted. His
bother, Robert, married and pretty we'll

millionaire and worth very nearly as
much money as Peter. The two brothers
inherited their property and have taken
excellent care of II. They own many
houses on Broadway and acres of land
in various parts Of tho city, but princi.
pally up town. 1t has been their custom
all along TO lease their land rather than
build on it. They charge q rent of Ave

times advance money to the lessee to
build, taking . mortgage ~ security.
The lessee has to pay all taxes and other

well.polished Knitting needle is to be
dipped into a deep vessel of milk and
Immediately withdrawn in an upright

adhere to the needle.

A Word to DOubters.

There Is a good old English maxim that
teaches US to g believe every man honest until
We Know bin to be . villain" American GUS
tom seems to have reversed this law and ap-
pears to make every man a villain until he has
proved himself an honest man. Az with peo-
pie, so with things. Every article placed in
our markets can lay claim to popular favor
upon intrinsic merit and value alone. Contin-
ued popularity, therefore, is proof positive of
intrinsic excellence. DIR. Pierce's Family Rem
edies are far more popular to-day than ever be-
fore. The people have tested them and know
them to be genuine remedies for the diseases
thew are recommended to cure. The Golden
Medical Discovery and Purgative Pellets are
the best Alternative, tonic, and cathartic reme-
dies that can be used in chronic diseases of
the stomach and liver. The worldwide popu-
larity Of the Favorite Prescription, as q never
failing remedy for Female Diseases, would
have alone secured to its discoverer the fame
he has 80 richly won. DIR. Sage's Catarrh Rem.
edy, Of which DIR. Pierce is also proprietor, is
recommended by those who have tested its viz
tues as a safe and reliable remedy for catarrh
in its worst forms.

of the kind ladies attached to the nursery they
looked very pretty, marching two by two.
the little girls in dark blue dresses,
With dark hats and white aprons, the boys
in gray suits and dark blue hats. with purple
vats Inside they permitted to roam about at
will under the trees and to tumble around on the
grass to their hearts content Later in the afternoon
they were still further delighted by the distribution
of a large basket Of toys. The grounds were
crowded with grown people. many of whom were
not Hebrews, who had come to testify their sppre-
citation of the noble charity and listen to
the beautiful music by Mr.. Julius Luster's
band Among the pieces given ut the
afternoon concert were Suppe's overture, ''Iechto
Cayalere;' selection from "Mme. Angot:"
Strauss waltz. Lovely May" wagner's overture.
"Bandtenstreiche;" selection from "Pinafore"
and one from Raphaes "Reveue." In the evening.
about nine O'Clock. dances ndulged in by the
Hebrew youths and maidens. and the increment
kept up to late hour. The dances consisted OF
lanciers waltzes, qusdrilles and pokas. The largo
contribute greatly to the aid Of this useful Hebrew
