A Year With Malay Pirates.
From the London Globe.

From the London Globe
A very curious tale is about to be told in
all it's details to the Societe de Geographic
of Paris. The narrator is a Mr. Ten Brink
belonging to the naval medical service OF
the Netherlands, who has, as it seems, pass
ed year in captivity among the Malay pi-
rates. These celebrated freebooters. about
whom so many horrible tales have been told,
are, as Mr.. Ten Brink proposes to show, by
no means belied by such reports. Indeed
the lecturer will present the most certain
peculiar proofs of their barbarous cruelty
He has lost his nose and one Of his ears in
the course of his adventures; and the audi
ence will scarcely refuse to believe his &C.
count when backed by such material evil
dence. According to the tale, as it has
been told to one of the Paris editors, Mr.
Ten Brink Was on an exploring expedition
for scientific purposes when he encounter
ed these perils. He had chartered native
ship, or ''ataps." which was one nightat-
tackled suddenly by band of marauders,
who killed the greater number of his men,
seized the baggage, and finally set fire to the
vessel. EIe was defending himself as best
he could against the assailants, when a
chief clad in gorgeous apparel came up
and waved them back, taking the European
under his protection Mr.. Ten Brink con-
graduated himself on his. escape, and was
still more inclined to think himself lucky
when he heard the great chief, or paman-
tuah," address him in pure English, and
inform him that he had been to Calcutta,
and was introducing into his own country,
all the benefits of vii government and civ
iization. The Dutchman felt quite at his
ease until he had arrived at the hut of the
enlightened savage, who then, to his great
surprise, informed him that he was to re-
main there as his slave. He protested
somewhat vigorously against this order, but
was gently warned not to repeat such au-
dacity, as the 'pamantuah, brought outa
beautiful ''parang," or sharp edged sword,
with which he sliced off his new slaves nose.
Thus admonished, Mr.. Ten Brink went to
work with humility and fortunately escaped
without further correction than the loss of
5ne ear, until such time as Dutch vessel
sent in search of him happily arrived
and rescued the slave, condemning the
master, however, to be shot without delay.

Costume Of Country Girls.

Costume of Country Girls.
The majority of country girls necessarily
perform more or less housework, and con-
sequently have to wear suitable apparel for
such duties. Nothing so detracts from the
attractiveness of home, as the slovenly APP
pearance of it's guardian angels, viz. !:
it's mothers and daughters. The fact that
housework soils the dress readily, need not
deter women from making their necks and
hair look tidy and presentable on all oc-
casions. Combing ones hair is just as
necessary as the morning ablution. It re-
CURES only few minutes to adjust it in
such manner that it will GO do" until one
has time. after breakfast, to thoroughly
comb and arrange it. Agein, SO many wo-
men go about their morning work with NO
collar on. One can be pinned on the morn
ing dress, and will keep clean week, with
care. If perferred, little linen rufle
edged with lace looks very neat. Have a
bow of ribbon or tie handy, and put it on
when the morning toilet is made. Ties can
easily be made of white Swiss, and trimmed
with lace. They can be worn without the
collar or rufae, if perferred. Many house.
wives and daughters are pressed for time to
attend to their personal needs. But it re-
quires only few minutes daily to comply
with the hints suggested, and there is much
satisfaction in knowing that ones appear
ance is attractive.

When the late Justice Nelson was presid-

States, the winter that Chief Justice Chase
was on the bench, he was in the habit of
inquiring when lawyer was presented for
admission whether the applicant qualified
under the ruler" Carpenter at this time
introduced Mr.. Sleeper, an old friend from
Chicago, and without waiting for the acting
chief Justices usual question, remarked:
''And I may add, your honor, that my
brother Sleeper is not only qualified under
the rule. but far beyond the rule"

House Plants for Winter.

| At a meeting of the Horticultural Society
of Worcester, Mass, Mr. w. w. Cook read
paper showing how to grow house plants,
including those grown in Conservatives, as
we'll as those in parlors and sitting rooms
The three things necessary are congenial
soil, proper temperature, aud the necessary
amount of moisture. A light rich soil not
liable to bake is necessary, but that from
the garden should not be taken, as it be-
comes muddy when wet and bakes under
the SUM- Leaf mould from deciduous trees
forms an excellent foundation for potted
plants, but the leaves must be thoroughly
rotted, which sometimes requires two or
three years time. In the woods they may
be obtained by digging away the upper.
fresher layers of leaves. Rotted sods two
or three inches thick from an old pasture
or light soil are excellent, and should be
well chopped up, to which should be added
thoroughly rotted hot bed manure, and to
three or four bushels half bushel of
sharp sand. After properly potting the
erage temperature of a living room being
higher than greenhouse, he not having
over IS in the day time and about 81 at
night The temperature should be 10. or
| Is degrees lower while it is dark than while
light, care being taken not to get the tenn
perature too low in cold weather. Supply
ing too much fresh air should be avoided,
the opening of doors and windows while
sweeping being injurious. Sudden changes
should be avoided and good ventilation pro-
vided. to avoid draft on the plants. which
shosld always be kept cooler at night than
in the day, and subject to good ventilation,
where there will be no drafts. Calais, smi-
lax, etc., are injured by the sun shining on
them while wet, SO Swinging should be de-
layed till after sunset. where they are in
collection. Errors in watering are also fa
tai to success, and the golden mean must
be observed, the plants to be watered only
when the grower is satisfied it is necessary
by careful examination, not at stated peri
DDS. The plan Of giving q little water ev-
cry day is not beneficial, as water should be
given when applied to thoroughly moisten
the soil, if grown in ordinary pots, but if
in glazed pots or window boxes enough to
given. The foliage must be syringed copi-
ously at least once week, care being taken
to wet the upper and under sides of the
leaves, and If Swinging is impossible
sponge should be used; three times week
is better than once. For blossoms the
plants must be kept in healthy condition,
and if cuttings are desired they should be
taken in July, but if you have room for
large plants they should be set where they
will have the morning or evening sun, wa
tered when necessary, and repotted in Au-
gust. Then set where they will get the sun
all day after the potting has been done two
weeks, care being taken to take them in be-
fore they become chilled. In manuring,
the tendency to use too much should be
avoided, and the plants, if properly planted
in the first place, need little extra fertiliza-
ton; but if they become pot bound little
liquid manure or guano may be applied.
It must not be forgotten that vege-

HOME SONG.

Stay, stay at home, my heart and rest;
Home keeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full Of trouble and full Of care;
To stay at home is best
Weary and homesick and distressed,
They wander east, they wander west,
And are baff1ed and beaten and blown about
By the winds of the wilderness of doubt:
To stay at home il best
Then stay at home my heart rnd rest;
The bird is safest in its nest;
Ger all that tiutter their wings and fly
hawk is lowering in the sky;
To stay at home is best.

1927, and is, consequently. fifty -four years
old At the age Of twenty -thfee-in the year
1850 he graduated at. Wesleyan university,
in the city IF Middletown, Connecticut, and af-
forwards studied law, partly in Connecticut, and
partly in his native place. In 1858 he removed
to Illinois, where he lived for q year and halt,
thence removing, in 1855, to Dodge county in
this State, where he has resided ever since. His
first public political preferment was in 1858,
when he was elected state senator. In 1860,
he was a delegate to the National Democratic
Convention at Charleston, s. c., and with
Messrs Becker and Fridley, of the Minnesota
delegation, voted for John c. Breckenridge. In
August, 1862, he enlisted as private in the
1enth Minnesota infantry, and Immediately
thereafter was promoted to the captaincy of
.sB' company, in that regiment After serv..
ing in the Indian campaign, he was transferred
to "a" company, same regiment, and in Feb
ruary, 1864, was commissioned colonel of a
colored regiment, and sent to Baton Rouge, La.
where he stayed for some time as commandment,
not only Of that post, but also of the military
district of which it was the headquarters He
was brevetted brigadier general and was not
mustered out of service until 1866 Resuming
the practice Of law upon his return to civil life,
Gen. Edgerton was, in 1871 appointed railroad
commissioner by Gov. AUSTIN and was the first
who held that Office In 1872 he compiled book
entitled Railroad Laws of Minnesota, which is
regarded as valuable WORK, and is much used
for reference When, in 1874, the board of
railroad co mmissiOners was created, he was
made member of said board by Gov Davis,
aud serv ed one year thereon, and was also q
member of the senate of 1878.

tation takes great deal Of nourish-
ment from the air, and that they must not
be stuffed as animals for fattening. The
purchase of rare and new plants was coun-
selled against unless furnished by some re-
liable person. In answer to questions he
said thorough washing or sponging of the
foliage will prevent the insects becoming
troublesome in the winter. Tobacco smoke
will kill the insects, but care must be taken
not to have it too strong, as it will also kill
the foliage. Htobacco is not used, strong
yellow snuff busted on is effective, and cay
enne pepper is good, but should be washed
Oft few hours after, and in cases of fumi-
cation in the morning the plants should be
given good drenching in the evening. The
red spider, which appears to casual obser-
vers like fine dust, must be sponged off in
the houses, and proper attention at the be-
ginning will prevent serious trouble. The
thing can be destroyed by tobacco smoke,
tobacco water or soap suds, care being ia
ken not to get the water strong enough to
XIII the foliage. The mealy bug, he believes,
should be treated with kerosene and soap
suds mixed, and applied with swab to the
insect, and not to the plant. The best time
to shower plants, in conservatory is when
you first. close it in the afternoon, as it Gre
ates moist atmosphere. which is excellent
Fumigation, while the plant is growing,
should be done early in the morning or at
