Cheese Made From Potatoes.

A German paper says that cheese is made from potatoes in Thuringia and Saxony in the manner below: After hay ing collected quantity of potatoes of good quality, giving the preference to 8 large, white kind, they are boiled in 8 caldron, and becoming cool, they are peeled and reduced to pulp, either by means of grater or mortar. To five pounds of the pulp, which ought to be as equal as possible, is added one pound of sour milk and the necessary quantity of salt. The whole is kneaded together and the mixture covered up and allowed to lie for three or four days, according to the season. At the end of this time it is kneaded anew, and the cheeses are placed in baskets, when the superfuous moisture escapes. They are then allowed to dry in the shade, and placed in layers in large vessels, where they must remain for fifteen days. The older these cheeses are the more their quality improves. Three kinds are made. The first and most common is made as detailed above; the second, with four parts of potatoes and two parts of curdled milk the third, with two parts of potatoes and four parts of COW or eve milk. These cheeses have this advantage over other kinds, that they do not engender worms, and keep fresh for number of years, provided they are placed in dry situation and in we'll closed vessels.

A Cattle Disease.

A virulent disease, known as the Sibe- rian pest, is spreading havoc among horses and cattle about Novgolod, in Russia, and it is attacking men also, over seventy persons having died of it within two weeks in number of the ad- jacent villages. Medical students have been summoned from St. Petersburg to aid in checking the epidemic but thus far their services have proved of little avail. The peasantry are said to have only themselves to thank for the exist ence of this fatal disease, which had its origin in the barbarous treatment of horses. The overland teamsters, es- pecially, are guilty of almost incredible cruelty in this respect, buying up half starved and worn out horses before set ting out on their journeys, and literally killing them on the way. They drive them without rest, at their highest speed, and with just food enongh to enable them to drag their burdens to the journeys end. They get these horses so cheaply and their pay for car rying freight quickly is so good that they find this profitable.

A Soldiers Clam Bake.

It is enough to take away ones appe- tite to read the list of ingredients which made up the clam-bake served at the re- union of the Grand Army of the Re- public of Connecticut at High Rock Grove, on the Naugatuck Railroad. The gigantic potpourri was thus composed : One hundred and thirty five bushels of soft-shell clans, 85 bushels of hard-shell clans, 100 bushels of oysters, $50 pounds of fish, 600 pounds of Holsters 2,OOO ears of corn and 20 bushels of potatoes. There were few other tr1fes, such as 600 loaves of bread and 15O watermelons, which helped to keep off starvation. About 7,6OO persons were presently far the largest number ever assembled at an army reunion in Connecticut owing to excellent arrangements at the grounds and an unusually efficient trans portation service, managed by Superin- tendent Beach, of the Naugatuck Rail. road, there were no accidents, no delays and no grumbling.

The Dying President.

Dr. Bliss, for the first time, spoke on Thursday night of the outlook for the Presidents recovery as very bad. After referring to the fact that he had himself been on duty almost constantly for for ty-eight hours, and that he was so near ly exhaused that he had once or twice dropped asleep during the consultation of the medical council-a statement that was fully corroborated by his iaded ap- pearance-he said that the condition of the President was very bad.
 "This parotid gland" he said, "is acting badly. It is immensely swollen and the interstices are full of pus. It is quite as bad as carbuncle of the same size would be, so far as it's effect upon the system is concerned"
 "How large is the swelling, doctor ?
 "WelI, I think it is about five by three and half inches m area. It op- presses the President very much. I feel that if that trouble were passed by, the President would convalesce rapidly. Every thing indicates that his lungs are free. There is no evidence of the inter- nal organs being involved. The wound has been healing and am astonished at the amount of repair in it in the last twen- ty-four hours. He has taken his food in sufficient quantity, and has had no nau- sea, but the continuance of this local trouble is telling on him severely
 "Is there any evidence of intiltra- tion?"
 "The whole gland is infiltrated with pus. The incision had to be made to loosen up the capsules and let out as much as possible of the pus, but the effect upon him in connection with his long continued disturbance of the diges- tive apparatus is exceedingly grave.
 "We are, of course, paying every pos sible attention to this glandular inham- mation. The rise in temperature is about as great as it was yesterday. The pulse has kept up, which indicates fee bleness caused by this gland"
 "Doctor, have you lost hope?"
 "I have not lost hope, but certainly the condition is much graver than any we have had heretofore; that is, it ii much less promising"
 els there any likelihood of his dying suddenly ?"
 "No, think not. He is likely in any event to live some days"
 "Has Mrs. Garfield been informed by the physicians to prepare for thu worst? Such rumor is current in th streets"
 eff such thing has been done it ha been without my knowledge, and think I should have known of it."

A COlOred Farmer.

One of the most successful and trust worthy farmers in Georgia is negro named Pleas Harper, who has just paid $32, 1000 for 2,100 acres of land lying on Broad River, in Oglethorpe county. The white man who sold him the land says of Harper "There is not better business man in Oglethorpe county than this negro. He can tell you any day to & cent how he stands with the world, and as farmer I never saw better. He is economical, his family all work and he can get more out of hand than anyone I ever say. Pleas, too, is not an all-cotton farmer. He has been making from 100 to 15O bales of cotton a year on rented land, besides growing enough supplies to run his place. In fact, his cotton crop is nearly all clear money. You just ought to see the Bermuda grass hay he has saved this summer"

Life in China.

"Maskee more better I die," was the exclamation with which 8 woman greeted Mir. Morgan, of the Customs Service, as he dragged her out of dock at Hankow, China. And she was right, for early the next morning she was drowned by her two brothers -in-law, whose previous attempt MT. Morgan had frustrated. The second time, in order to make sure work of it, they took her into the middle of the river in boat, pinioned her arms, fastened a stone around her neck, attached line to her waist and threw her into the river. When sufficient time had elapsed tc make it certain that she was dead they pulled up the body by the rope attached to the waist, took it ashore and buried it with the usual rites. The crime oi the deceased was stated to be that "she refused to marry an old man she, being 8 fine blooming widow, wanted some | thing better"

GAMBLING AT SARATOGA.
Fifty Thousand Dollars Won and LOst-The High Rollers at the Games

A letter from Saratoga says:-The principal amusement for the majority of the male portion of the visitors at this summer home of fashion is "play- ing against bank" or, as it is more commonly known, faro. The game has grown into such popularity since the opening of the season that it is consid- cred "quite the proper thing" to win or lose few thousands "bucking the tiger" One evening recently the ''salon" of we'll known gamester from the Club" was the scene of intense excit- ment owing to the large sumS that were being wagered. Senators, lawyers, mer- chants, brokers and gamblers crowded around the table, eager to see the ''high rollers" Ca name given to the heaviest players) and to try their luck at the same time. Frequently as much as 8, ,000 would be bet on a single card, and one could hear pin drop while the dealer slowly drew the cards from the box. For hours the game went on, people coming and going all the time. At midnight the place was crowded, and the "bank" had won nearly $40, 900. The manager smiled sardonically as one after another felt the house, each being losers of several thousands. Then the battle commenced in earnest between the gamblers and the 'bank." For a short time the fickle goddess showered her smiles upon the latter. The players only seemed to grew more reckless and increased the stakes. Fortune at last smiled upon their efforts, and the "bank" began to pay out steadily un- til soon after the first faint streaks of morning light stole through the crevices of the window blinds, when the play abruptly ceased and the players slowly vacated the scene. The bank was broken and loser to the amount of $5O,- = 900. The tiger lay prostrate at the feet of it's captors. Seldom has such heavy game been seen before at Saratoga. A prominent turfte won $1O,0OO, another $7,O0O, while one individual whose capi- tai consisted of $15 when he entered the bank retired happy with over 8 thousand dollars in his pockets. A cele- brated "high roller" known as "Idaho Dick, won $1O,OOO, but it benefited him little. Proceeding immediately from the scene of victory to another lair of the "tiger," he became it's vic- tim and left the place without nickel
 Saratoga is the gamblers Elysium. Fresh victims arrive every day and play faro only to find themselves in the end left with only the remorse caused by their own reckless indiscretiOn

OySter.Brush Malaria.
AN EPIDEMIC OF SCARLET FEVER AND DIPHTHERIA IN CONNECTICUT AND ITS NArSE

Following is the gist of the report of the Connecticut State Board of Health concerning the oyster-brush malaria |" in the scarlet fever stricken districts about the extensive oyster beds at Pc. quonnoc River, near New London, Ct. {:
 "There is no doubt that the presence of such large quantities of brush in the river has resulted in conditions detri- mental to the health of the village, and has been very unsanitary element in the case. The brush has caused these conditions in two ways: First, by pol luting the air by the putrescent exhala- tions that arise from the decay of wood in salt or brackish water; and, second, by interfering with the free circulation of the tidal waters. Professor Brewer, of Sheffield Scientific School, a member of this Board, who has for sev- eral years been studying experimentally the decay of our native woods in salt or bra ,kish waters, thus writes in relation to thls case: 'The experiments that I have been making for several years in this matter show that any of our woods placed in salt water, or brackish water, produce very abundant and offensive odors, not only of sulphureted hydro gen, but other exceedingly putrescent effiuvia. The brush is very unsani- tary element, both from its own decay and from its interference with the free circulation of the tidal water. By such pollution of the air, conditions favorable malignancy as we'll as the spread of the disease are caused. Prevalent winds sweep these exhalations over the village and to the distant hill-sides. As the village lies largely in valley, they arise aud diffuse themselves through the atmosphere until the barrier of the hills is reached, which to a great extent confines them to the limits of the val ley. The removal of the brush from the river is therefore recommended, es- pecially from the portion above the railroad crossing. While we believe that in accordance with the general law of the disease, as far as known, scarlet fever was introduced from the contagion of some preceding case, and results from specific poison, we also believe that such specific poison is vastly in- tensified by pollution of the air, by the products of decay, as described, and the epidemic was rendered possible by this contamination of the air, which, intensified by the specific poison of the disease, whatever it may be, acts through much greater space than at other times.' Under date of Aug. Is, Dr. Chamberlain, of the State Board oi Health, says: In answer to your ques tions, would reply that it would be very dangerous to remove the brush al at once, except in very cold weather, 1T the fall or early winter. Anything done now must be done gradually, with thor ough disinfection. The dangers would arise from the large quantities of dele terious gases liberated from the mud water and brush. The work should commence at the lower part and extent up the river.'"

Starting a Balky Horse with Fire.

John P. White, farmer of Frost Hills, N. Y., started for Gold Springs a few days ago with @ load of rye straw. While driving along the turnpike one of his team baked. In order to start the animal White placed sheaf of straw under the horse, and set fire to it. The team started on a run, and the fire com municated to the load of straw, which, with the wagon, was entirely destroyed. The horses were badly burned.
