Actors siguius tho Pledge.

A number OF actors attended the
meeting Of the American Temperance
Union, at Steinway Hall, New York,
yesterday, the president, William Ma
son Evans, having been announced to
lecture on dramatic Power" On the
platform were Billy Dwyer and "sena-
tor Bob +" Hart, the well-known min
s.rels, who have become members Of
the Union. Mr.. Evans, in the course
of his address, said: To-day the
drama, If elevated to its proper sphere,
has an important part to play in the
moralizing of the world. The life OF an
actor Is a hard and wearisome one
They are men of sensitive brain, Of
warm and generous impulses who long
for companionship and kind words,
and who delight to meet old friends
and patrons. Such meetings generally
result in some one saying boys, let's
have a drink This is the rock on
which the future Of many a young and
promising actor is wrecked" A NUN.
Der Of actors then went forward and
signed the pledge, and as each man
finished, "Billy" Dwyer and "Bob'
Hart shook hands with him.

A Model BARBER shop.

s. S. Wickersham has always borne
the enviable reputation OF being first
class barber, and OF conducting his
business in such manner as to obtain
a large share of the public patronage.
Prior to the 25th of March Sam was To-
Gated at l19 East Front street, from
which place he removed to lO7 French
street, where he is now established,
and has in our opinion one Of the hand
soonest shops in the city. The room,
which is light and airy. has been thor
oughly renovated and beautifully pa
pered. A large new walnut cup case,
Of an unique and pretty design, has
Leen placed therein. making the Whole
an embodiment of convenience and
beauty. He has also had erected new
marble top wash stand, built Of pure
walnut and ash, which is a model OF
neatness. In short everything about
the place presents an attractive ap-
pearance, and reflects credit upon the
genial Sammy, who take so much
pleasure III providing ror the comforts
and wants Of his friends and patrons

English and American Farming Con.
trasted.

The last number Of the London Econ
0mtsf gives an interesting and, as it
would seem, very careful comparison
between farming in England and farm
ing il America In England one acre
yields on an average 80 bushels of
wheat, while in America it yields on an
average only IS. The American
farmer must. consequently, cultivate
two and half acres In order to pro-
duce the same quantity Of wheat As the
English farmer raises on one acre
How Is it, then, the paper asks, that
the American farmer can, nevertheless,
not only compete with the English
farmer, but beat him in bis own mar
ket? The answer which first presents
itself TO this question is the enormous
difference Of rent in England and
America. but this difference il, as the
paper shows. nearly, if not altogether,
oblitsrated By the cost Of Transports
ton from the Western fields TO the
English market The real advantage
which the American farmer has over
the English lies ia the cheapness Of
cultivation. In the settlements along
the Red River in Northern Minnesota i
plow may be run through the scft aliu-
vial soil for more than fifty miles in a
straight line without encountering a
stone, tree, or a hill, feature 10
which England does not offer the faint
est approach.

A Curious Chinese Process.

The curious process pursued By the
Chinese of welding cracked iron wares
BY cementing them with cast iron while
in liquid state is thus described: In
the case, for example, Of cast-iron pan
requiring such treatment, the operator
commences by breaking the edges Of
the fracture slightly with hammer, so
As TO enlarge the assures, after which
the fractured parts are placed and held
in their natural positions by means of
wooden braces; the pan being ready,
crucibles, made of clay, are laid in
charcoal and ignifed in small portable
sheet-iron furnace, with bellows work
ing horizontally. As soon rs the pieces
Of cast-iron with which the crucibles
were charged are fused. 1t is poured on
. layer Of partly charred husk Of rough
rice, previously spread on . thickly
doubled cloth, the object Of this being
to prevent the sudden cooling and hard
ening Of the liquid metal. While in the
liquid state II Is quickly conveyed to the
fractured part under the vessel and
forced up with jerk into the enlarged
assures, while paper rubber Is passed
over the obtruding liquid inside the
vessel, making neat, strong, substan-

Improvement in the quality Of this vege-

as much better than the old sorts as q
Lima besn is better than China. In
order to keep tomatoes through the year
all that is necessary is to cook them and
bottle them up tight, while warm, In
gallon jugs. No vegetable is cultivated
more easily and cans more kindly than
tomatoes, and as the acid is so healthy,
and 70 most palates so agreeable, it Is
worth while TO lay in a large
store. Celery Is another vege-
table TO which farmers should
give more attention. This requires a
little more care than tomatoes, out not
halt so much As was formerly given it..
There Is no need of deep trench. The
dwarf and medium sized varieties,
which are the best to cultivate, can be
grown on the surface Of the ground, or
in q furrow made by = common double
mold-board plow. The seed should be
sown in hot-bed, or in some warm
sheltered nook, and the plants trans
planted when quite small into bed four
inches apart each way, where they can
remain Till early peas are gone, and
then take the same ground which the
peas have occupied, first giving it an
ether dose of well rotted manure. The
plants should be 10 or IL inches apart
in the rows, and the rows four or five
feet apart Celery Is a delicious and
healthy vegetable, designed particular
ly for winter, and can be Kept in the
cellar covered with eayes.--Aier. Hyde,
