A Rome for Guiteau.

Some time ago mention was made in
this paper, of the Italian hemp cultiva-
ted last year by Mr.. Ferd Luchini, of this
parish, the first known to have been
produced in this country. A quantity
of this hemp prepared by Mr.. F. Luchini
himself was sent to Mr.. Nicholas Ar
thurs of New Orleans, a dealer and
worker in this kind of material and an
inventor of apparatus to cure hemp,
jute, etc, for the purpose of manufactur-
ing rope to be used i'll Washington on
the 3Oth ult. Mr.. Arthurs, under date of
June 23rd, writes that the rope was
manufactured, and sent to the United
States Marshal at Washington, D. c..
He doubts whether it will be used, but
that it will undoubtedly be placed in the
exhibition department as one of the
mementoes connected with the national
tragedy.
The rope was made, two-thirds of 1tal-
ian hemp and one-third Of silk fibre
direct from the cocoon, put up in New
! York, especially for the purpose. The
history of this rope with the facts at
| tending its manufacture, will surround
| it with no little interest. Made of the
I first hemp raised in America; cultivated
and prepared in Louisiana; mannfac-
| tured into rope in New Orleans; inter
woven with silk from New York, furnished
expressly for the purpose, and sent to
Washington to hang the first Presidential
assassin of the great Republic, there is
something memorable, and more than
memorable connected with it. We shall
watch for some further information from
it with no little interest.-Natchitoche

THE SIMPLE PRAYER.

When fades the last faInC ray
Of the rosy tinted day.,
There gently steals 4 solemn thrill
Through the evening air 81 still,
AS from each hearthstone, far or near,
Rise the voices Of children clear,
As in their perfect trust they say,
While from their noisy sports they stray,
And twinlSling stars in wonder peep:
"Now lay me down to Sleep"
Not alone for childhood fair
Is meant this simple little prayer;
But cen to manly strength and prime
Shall come at last q needfu] time,
When mid life's battles sudden gloom,
He hears the nearer step of doom,
And though strong with Sanson's power,
He knows the coming Of that hour,
And repeats in tones more deep:
81 pray the Lord my soul to keep"
When the form that's now so proud
Shall with age be lowly bowed;
When the hair, now black as night,
Shall with winters SHOWS lie white;
When the head slow time is keeping
To the eyes with sorrow weeping,
And vainly tries to call the past,
Slipping from his grasp at last
Then ftintly from the lips shall break:
eff should die before 1 wake"
Not for little childish dream
Should be told this simple theme;
Not alone for quiet and calm,
But the bivOuac and fierce alarm;
When dangers round about us swell,
AS when peace and plenty dwell.
From age and youth and manhood's prime
At ]ife's closing evening time,
In accents soft and low should break:
81 pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take

And stars are giving twinkling light,
May Heaven and earth unite
To bless ev'ry May.

Are There Such Banks as This.

The bank cashier and two of the di-
rectors have just finished confiden-
tial chat in the bank parlor when in
walks the secretary with a newspaper
in his hand and observes:
''There it is again--another cashier
embezzles 100000 and skips."
"Ah!' says the first director
"Ah!' echoes the second.
"Ahl that reminds me- adds the
cashier. IF You hadn't happened to
mention it | might have forgotten it
entirely. Fourteen years ago | began
TO rob this bank of few dollars at a
time and cover my offence by false
entries.
"No !" by three in chorus.
~ have taken Sl3,500 up to date,
and you have not missed a dollar of it.
| cant restore $40 of the sum-"
"Your bopd!" yells the President.
"Neither signed nor dated replies
the cashier.
"We'll put you in prison y
"And my friends will get me a par
don in six months
"But think of the disgrace"
"Pooh Think of the injury to the
bank, rather"
The cashier lights twenty center
and puts his feet on the table, and the
trio retire to corner whisper nod,
agree, and the President returns and
says:
''Young man, here is $500 to take
you on vacation for six weeks; go
and regain your lost health, and if you
want certificate of character write us
and it shall be forwarded by first mail

Feeding Frogs for Market.

1t is pleasing sight to see George
7. Bushnell, of Norwich, Conn, feed
his edible frogs, which are confined in
a shallow tank and kept fran emacia-
ton by artificial feeding. A frog will
eat only that which moves, hence
scraps of meat have to be attachcded
to string and moved in life-like
and very deceptive way. If the be-
trachians are neglected, cannibal like,
they eat the smaller ones. Several
times living mice have been put into
the tank. The mouse makes lively
run for life and the frogs seem to en-
Joy it.. With heads up and eyes
twinkling, every one shows an active
interest in the victim as he runs from
back to back of the occupants. Final
" one jumps and snaps the coveted
morsel, leaving nothing in sight but
the cable like tail. He then closes his
eyes and sits demurely in the midst of
a gazing circle, silent but satisfied.
Now and then covetous neighbor
wall seize the protruding tail and jerk
his trogship across the tank, but he
does not relax his hold. His stolid
Indifference to abuse suggests that he
may have motto like this somewhere
81 have the morsel, boys, and you may
have the fun" He never chews his
food, but absorbs just as a boy absorbs
gumdrop. About two hours after
the swallowing feat he expectorates a
wad of fur and bones, and winks
wlckedly at his neighbors, who have
dined on cold cuts of stale halibut
swung on a sting.

Perennial Plants,

Hardy perennial plants are so little
trouble, that they are too often treated
with entire neglect. Beyond dividing
the clumps when they have grown too
large, they get but little attention.
These plants ought not to bloom in the
same place in the border for more than
three years in succession, whether they
need division or not In autumn, or
in very early spring, they should be
lifted and reset in another place. Some.
especially the Peony, should always
be moved in early autumn if disturbed
in spring, the bloom for that year will
be lost. To have perennial plants at
their best, the soil must be enriched a
point that is often overlooked. While
some of these plants produce little or
no seed, Others bear heavy crop.
Unless one wishes to save seeds, the
flower clusters should be cut away as
soon as the bloom is over. This is nee
essary, not only for the sake of neat
ness in the boarders, but for the good
of the plants. Seed bearing greatly
exhausts the plant, and the vitality ex.
pended in producing crop of seeds
that are to go to waste, should be de-
votedlto strengenthing the plant fornext
seasons bloom. Those beautiful peren-
NAL Phloxes, which now rank as
florists flowers, are given to profuse
seed-bearing, and are quite sure to de-
generate, and produce smaller flowers
and small clusters, if allowed to ripen
an annual crop of seeds. Those who
wish to raise hardy perennials from
seeds, should recollect that the best time
for sowing is as soon as the seeds are
ripe. The young plants will usually
become strong enough to endure the
winter; if they do not slight cover
ing of evergreen boughs will take them
through safely. Such plants, if set out
early the next spring, will usually
bloom that year.-An,erican Agrjcui-

Useful Recipes.

PEACH PYRAMID.-Cut a dozen
peaches in halves, peel and take out
stones, crack half the seeds and blanch
the kernels; make clear boiling
syrup of one pound of white sugar,
and into it put the peaches and kernels;
boil very gently for ten minutes take
out half the peaches, boil the rest for
ten minutes longer, and take out all
the peaches and kernels; mix with the
syrup left in the kettle the strained
juice of three lemons and an ounce of
isinglass dissolved in little water and
strained; boil up one ounce, fill
mould half full of the syrup, or Jelly
let stand until ''set," add part of the
peaches aud a little more Jelly, and
when this is ''set' add the rest of the
peaches, and fill Hp the mould with
jelly. This makes a delcions aud or
namental dessert
TOMATO SoUp.-Always use cold
water in making all soups; skim well,
especially during the first hour. There
is great necessity for thorough skim
ming, and to help the scum rise, pour
N HUE colu water now ana tnen,
and as the soup reaches the boiling
point, skim it off Use salt at first
sparingly, and season with salt and
pepper; allow one quart Of soup to
three or four persons. For tomato
soup allow one gallon of stock made
from nice fresh beef to three quarts of
fresh tomatoes; remove the skin and
cut out the hard centre, put throu III
a fine sieve and add to the stock;
make paste of butter and -four, and,
when the stock begins to boil, stir in a
half teacup of the paste, taking care
not to have it lumpy; boil twenty min
utes, seasoning with salt and pepper to
taste. Two quarts Of the canned to-
matoes will answer.
