the beach at Matochyen Straits. 1t was
on the evening of August 2. Next
morning after breakfast a schooner was
seen coming out of the straits. A boat
went to her. The boat 5 crew was most
heartily welcomed by ringing cheers, long
before they got alongside. The schooner
proved to be the William Barents, COM
manded by Captain Hoffman, who, with
his officers, showed every possible kind
ness to the men on their way to BarentS
Straits The boats crew said the Hope
was anchored within mile of the place
where the rest of the Eira's crew were
still encamped Previous to this several
shots had been heard by the Eira's party
early in the morning, which afterward
was found to be fired by some Russians
from a schooner anchored in the same
bay as the Hope. The Russians had
seen the hut in which the Eira's crew
were housed and intended to report
the matter to the commander OF
the Hope, but the information was
anticipated by the crew of the
William Barents. Mr.. Leigh Smith
says he intended to 90 up straight, and
must of necessity have seen the Hope,
having previously observed the staff
marking the spot on which Sir Allen
Young had left arecord for him, situated
at point in the bay in which the Hope
anchored, and which Mr.. Smith Intended
to visit as soon as his men had sufficient
ly rested The William Barent's crew
had been in company with the Hope and
had Just sailed. Ten minutes before
seeing the Ezra boats crew boat had
been sent on shore to take Mr.. Smith on
board the Hope, where he and the re-
mainder of the crew were joyfully wei
coined by Sir Allen, who had sent all
hands from the Hope to bring the rest of
the party, with boats, gear and cloth
ing, on board. Every effort was made
by the commander of the Hope and the
naval officers under him to render the
condition Of the men as comfortable as
possible

" It's Mothers Turn Now

of now"
The speaker was a winSome young
girl. whose bright eyes, fresh color and
winsome looks told of Hght-hearted
happiness. just out of school, she had
the air of culture, which is an added at
traction to blithe young face. 1t was
mothers turn now. Did she know how
my heart went out to her for her unset
fish words?
Too many mothers in their love of
their daughters entirely overlook the
idea that they themselves need recrea-
ton. They do without all the easy,
pretty and charming things, and say
nothing about it; and the daughters do
not think there is any selt-denial in
volved. Jenny gets the new dress, and
mother wears the old one, turned up
side down and wrong side out. Lucy
goes on the mountain trip and mother
STAYS at home and keeps house.
Emily is tired of study and must lie
down in the afternoon; but mother,
though her back aches, has no time for
such an indulgence.
Dear girls, take good care of your
mothers. Coax them to let you relieve
them of some of the harder duties, which
for years they have patiently DONE

Two lucky Miners.

Some three weeks AGO two Comstock-

prospecting trip. They went over into
Placer County to look for lodges, placer
mines, or anything else in the mining
line that would pay. One of the men
now writes to a friend in this city as
follows: 1--WE spent some two weeks

most contrary of Piute ponies. He will

Well, we were gong down steep
mountain trail toward Georgetown the
other day, when the pony stopped
short, gave snort, and broke off
through the brush down the
steepest place he could find. He scat
tered grub, picks, shovels and cooking
utensils in all directions, and finally
ended by standing on his head in a deep
gutter at the bottom of a ravine, where
we made him fast to tree and then
rolled him over and landed him on his

Novelties in Wedding Music.

A lady traveller just from the South
tells of attending stylish wedding of
colored persons. The groom was short,
thin specimen of humanity, the bride
immense and robust AS the pair sailed
up the aisle of the church, with train
that swept away in the rear like the tail
of comet, the choir sang with all the
race fervor "Broad am de road that
leads to death" to the great amusement
of the few whites privileged to be present.
This, however, is equalled by the ex-
perience of a country pastors wife not
far away, who was requested to play a
wedding march at funeral, the mourn
ers knowing no difference between it and
a dirge. At recent wedding in Hamp-
shire County the hymn, "Sister, thou
vast mild and lovely" was sung as
specially fitting the occasion. Boston

Just to swing and swing upon the maple

With cunning little bird s-nest for my house.
Oh, I'd Like to be squirrel on a wall,
With four nimble little feet that wouldn't let

While hid my little winters store away.

CURRANTS.

This wholesome fruit used to be
easily and largely raised many years
ago, and a garden wasnot considered
complete without a supply Of large
thrifty bushes. Within a few years
after the currant worms made their
appearance most of the bushes were
destroyed, and now are only to be
found in very few gardens. TWAS
hoped that after the worms had sue
ceeded in destroying the bushes they
would disappear, when their cultiya-
ton might again be attempted, but
this is not the case. But with lit
tie care and time in destroying these
worms with hellebore, We may now
raise culrants with success. 1t re-
quires but little of the powder and
with reasonable care there is no dan
ger in its application. Currants are
very easily raised. They may be
propagated either by rooted bushes
OF simply canes of last years growth,
thrust into the ground. In this way
they can be multiplied fast and can
be trained in good shape.
The old fashioned red Dutch cur
rant is a good variety, and there are
other desirable kinds, as the white
grape, Victoria and Versailles, large
red sorts.
Gooseberries are subject to the
same depredator as the currant, and
can only be kept in healthy condition
by similar methods of treatment.
AS there are still a considerable
quantity Of strawberries, raspberries
and blackberries growing wild, but
little attention is paid to cultiyatine
them in an improved condition. The
first are hardy and would succeed in
most any garden with reasonable at
tention; of the others the most har-
dy kinds would be required for this
climate, and would probably do we'll

ABOUT SWEET CORN.

Strange as it may seem to those
to sweet corn, there are
parts of the country where it is yet
unknown. IN many places in the
west and south, people still content
themselves with the roasting ears
of the common field corn. The his
tory OF sweet corn is obscure, but
there are facts which point to its or
igin with the Narragansett Indians in
Rhode Island. There is the same
difference between sweet and field
corn that there is between wrinl1led
and common peas. The conversion
of the contents of the grain into
starch is arrested, and the seed in
both remains much Wrinkled. The
writer can recollect when a Massa-
chusetts man living in Rhode Island,
sent annually by stage, as an accept
able present to his friends in Bos-
ton, basket of sweet corn. It is
within comparatively recent times
/ that sweet corn has become common.
The Americaa 4g1jcalte9'ist no doubt
reaches many who are not familiar
with the varieties of corn known as
''sweet" and we do good service to
these when we call attention to its
superiority to any common kind OF
corn. The mail now allows every
one to procure. seeds from dealers
anywhere at a mere trife for postage
and the seed are within the reach OF
all. Among the earliest varieties

pens to be on the table at the time
as the best. Besides these, there arr

SOME MISTAKES IN
GARDENING

A garden 10 be proftableshould be
highly MANFRED. High manaring is
essential to speedy growth and large
crops. The more rapid the growth
Of vegetables the more tender they
are. Land on which much labor is
spent in cultivation should be made
by the judicious employment Of fer
tilizers to produce very large crops.
Market gardeners in the vicinity Of
large cities ordinarily apply at least
fifty cords of stable manure every
year to the ground they occupy, and
many use in addition wood ashes and
q considerable amount of CONNER
cial fertilizers. The crops they raise
would astonish most farmers who
manure a garden spot only as they
do field intended for corn OF small
grain. Many farmers attempt to
raise vegetables on land occupied in
part by fruit trees, grape vines, and
bushes. The roots Of these take
most Of the nutriment from the soil,
while their branches cast dense
shade. Garden vegetables require
all the soil for their own use.
Another mistake in gardening con
sists in surrounding the spot with a
fence, so that plowing is rendered
difficult as well as the work of cult
walton by teams. 4 garden TO be
easily worked should be located where
no fences are required to protect it
from animals and fowls. By having
no fence about it the soil can be
plowed without difficulty, and most
of the work of cultiyating may be
done by horses. Most vegetables
can be planted in drills running the
entire length of the lot, and the soil
between them worked by means of q
cultivator Another mistake in gar
dening consists in planting all kinds
of seeds at nearly the same time with
out regard to their natural habits OF
time Of maturity. Farmers know
that field crops should be planted a
different times, bnt they persist ii
planting onions and lima beans OF
the same day.
