Lawns.

The most attractive feature about any
place is a neat, well-kept turf; should
this be neglected, no matter how fine
the flowers or clean the walks, the lawn
will lack it's greatest charm. If it has
had a coat of short, rich manure spread
over the surface during winter, as it
should have received, the first work in
very early spring is to rake it carefully
off without disturbing the grass roots,
and then give it thorough rolling,
passing over the entire area several
times, crossing and recrossing in differ
ent directions. In lieu of the above,
sow thickly bonedust, plaster, or other
good fertilizer, SO as to induce thick
coat of dark-green grass. Scatter lib
orally over any bare spots mixture of
green grass and white clover seed,
which will obliterate any such insight
illness before the hot weather sets in.
Start the lawn-mower to work early, as
it is a fallacy to suppose it will weaken
the sod to begin too soon. Our next
move should be to dress up the walks.
Trim the edges neatly and evenly with
a sharp spade; and this ought to be at
tended to at least three times during
the season, as the effect will be spoiled
if the lines are not sharp and well-de
fined. Should the center not be raised
slightly above the two edges. coat OF
gravel must be applied and then fire.
quently rolled until quite firm. Never
let weed show here, and if taken in
time the labor will be slight. Trim the
shrubbery early, SO as to induce dense
mass of shoots, AMI, as matter OF
course. profusion of bloom. By dig
ging in around each a little compost or
short manure, we can procure better
display during the towering season.
See That the trees are properly pruned;
that is to say, remove any unsightly
branches, and tie struggling shoots into
a proper position. The Hover beds
must be MANFRED and carefully dug and
well pulverized at an early day. SO that
the planting season will find us all ready
for setting out our plants. These may
all appear trifes, but upon just such
.rilles depends the success of our lawns
and dooryards. - Cor. N. ]. Tribune.

Care Of Calves.

Many farmers this spring will COM
mence the experiment of raising calves
| on skim milk who have never tried it
before. AS they expect to make money
out OF the cream it is reasonable to sup
pose it will require little more time
and care to raise the calves as success
fully and as thrifty as when giving
them all OF the nav milk. There must
be other agents used in the food to
supply the place of the cream, to devel-
op all parts of the calf. Their bowels
will have to be watched and kept regu-
lar. Securing is frequent among calves
fed on skim and sour milk. Slightly
astingent medicines must be carefully
used in such cases. A spoonful or two
of oil meal made into Cruel and mixed
with the skim milk, prevents securing
and gives the calves better appetite.
Flax-sced boiled to a Jelly answers the
same purpose. Mix it with oat meal
of oat meal. Get the calves out to
good pasture as soon as possible, but
protect them from any cold spring
rains. The cold rains at this season of
the year are frequently more injurious
to calves and grown stock than many
of the cod snow storms of winter.
In case of scours in calves not yield
ing to the foregoing suggested reme-
dies, there are other mild preparations
which have salutary effects. One is:
Take one pound of mutton suet and
boil it in two quarts of new milk until
the suet is dissolved. Then add one
half dram of ginger. Give in doses of
three spoonfuls three times day. An
other Take half an ounce of alum
and dissolvesit In two quarts of water
and boil ten minutes, and administer in
doses according to. the violence of the
possible, but at the same time give
them the fun benefit of fresh air and
sunshine. Both of these prescriptions
are valuable in cases of seours in grown
cattle, but in larger doses.
Calves are also frequently subject to
costiveness, caused by change of diet,
or unsuitable food. Those having the
care of calves must not only regularly
feed, water and protect them from
storms, but they must watch the con-
dition of their bowels. A mild dose of
physic should be given, and for this
purpose nothing is better than salts.
There is no danger in this. In fact it
gives calves and cattle a good appetite,
prevents the blood from becoming too
abundant and thick, bringing on an
thrax, bat aids in preserving the gen.
eral health and stimulating growth
and good condition. And all of these
pay the additional trouble aud expense.
Too many farmers are shamefully care
less in neglecting the health aud condi-
ton of their stock until they are be-
You'd care, and then write to an agri-
cultural editor or veterinary surgeon to
know what is the matter with their
stock, with imperfect symptoms or-de-
scription of the disease. If farmers
would cease running to towns so often,
but would spend more time in feeding
and watching the health of their stock, |
not SO many pigs would perish in storms,
and not SO many calves die of black leg |
or anthrax.-losoa State Register.

The Russian papers contain some
further interesting particulars concern
ing the regicides who were recently ex-
ecuted. On the way from the House of
Detention, where tea had first been
served to them, right up to the place of
execution, drum and fife band played
all the time behind the two tumbrils, so
that the remarks which are reported to
have been often made by at least one of
the prisoners to the crowds on the road
must have been completely inaudible.
Michaeloff is said to have bowed his
head toward the crowd several times.
The same rattle of drums, without the
flies, was kept up around the scaffold
during the execution.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
OUT OF THE Bx-KHEDIvgs HAREM.

That the course of true love sometimes
runs smooth has been verified In Naples,
or rather Resina, within the last three or
four days. On the 22d of February, 1850,
a young lady fed from the residence of the
ex. Khedive, and took refuge in house on
the opposite side of the road There was
young man, it is needless to say, ready
to receive her. All the preliminaries of
courtship had been carried on by signs
with which Neapolitans as well as ORR
entails are familiar, but they were the eyes
which completed the conquest. What was
to be done with the "innamorata, how
ever, after her escape? The laws Of the
country forbade compuision, and of her
own free will she would not return to the
house of the Khedive. A marriage was,
thersf,rs, proie c!ed, but there were diff.
culties in the way. BY the civil law of
italy certain formalities were resuired
which could not be carried out in the ex-
ceptional circumstances in which the lady
was situated. After the lapse of sixteen
months the grave difficulties were overcome,
the sympathies of some in high places had
been appealed to and awakened, and the
King having given his consent, Signor Pas
qhale Vollari and the Signorina Nasik-Mi.
SAX, which being interpreted means in
finite goodness, we're married on the even
ing Of the Both of June by the Syndic Of
Resina. Every one must entertain the
hope that g Infinite Goodness will never
be exhausted, and that the honeymoon
will endure through life What the pre-
else position of Mask Misak was in the
household of the Khedive it is difficult to
say, but she had not enjoyed the supreme
honora of fha hararu Ever since the arrival
of Ismail Pasha great curiosity has been
felt by the Neapolitans they would
have belied themselves-as to the ladies
under his protection. When living on
board the Egyptian steamer which broughs
them here, boats were constantly plying
around, and on the removal Of the estab.
lishment to Pausilippo some persons were
SO indiscreet in their approaches to the
palace of the Khedive as to require the in
reference of the police. The only instance
of an escapade is that of Infinite Good
ness" which has ended well. Naples let

MAUD s.

Joseph Hatton in his work, "To-day in
America" gives the following graphic ac-
count of Vanderbilt's celebrated trotter,
Maud S.. "By this time the mare had
passed under the wire at the cry of 60 !
She went along with still body and quick
legs, head erect, shoulders and trunk i'm
movable, except for their forward motion.
Il was like an opera-dancer in a difficult
pds VIE confines her action to her feet.
Maud S. legs carried her body as if each
anatomy was independent of the other.
But at the first bend in the track she sud-
denly broke into a gallop and had to- be
recalled. The second start was her sue
cessful one. She went round the track
like machine. Her head and back formed
a straight line all the way. The evenness
was never once broken. 1t seemed to me
as if the pace was all the same, though
stop. watches showed that it had varied.
When she passed the three-quarters of
mile pole the crowd set up great cheer.
sThe fastest time ever made = exclaimed
my Jockey Club friend. 'One minute thir-
ty six seconds Turning into the home
stretch the mare came along, evidently
auickening her speed, and she was watched
in breathless silence, as if the entire con-
course was one man watching the second
on one stop-watch. 1t was an anxious
crowd, its heart beating with hope, as if
the fate of nation depended upon Maud
S. and her driver, whose voice was sud-
denly heard breaking in upon the general
silence. The driver was urging the mare
on, not with whip, not with spur, but with
an earnest, eager cry, to which she re-
sponded. On she came with an easy stride
that did not suggest speed SO much as
grace and elegance. Hi F! yah J shouted
the driver, and the next moment she
passed the wire or winning-post In tu-
multi of enthusiasm. A negro groom IN
attendance on the mare flung up his watch
and his hat, and rushed after her. A
great cry went up all over the place; la
dies waved their handkerchiefs, men flung
up their hats and shook hands with each
other. Two ten and a-half i Two ten
and three. quarters 7 cried one to another.
In the midst of the joyous commotion the
mare and her driver came back to be
clothed and admired. She was surrounded
by a crowd they raised her blanket to
pat her with fond hands. A darkey hugged
her-one man kissed her. She received
these attentions as meekly and as gently
as a pet pony might submit to the caresses
of children. Then the time was officially
announced, the crowd cheered once more,
and Maud s. disappeared, while her per-
formance was being telegraphed 'to all
parts of the civilized world-and Russia,
