Maize-Indian Corn.

] was there present at the marriage
feast of the Maize and saw the we'd
ding dress, and | must tell you some
thing about it.
The Maze is of the class diaecia. The
male flower develops itself in a spiked
head. which is placed aloft on the top
OF the strong green plant, somewhat
like the sea-reed with us, only much
thicker in stem and in leaf. This head
of male flowers waves merrily in the
Wind, quite like bonvivant, and scat
tiers abroad his pollen like cloud.
Lower down, and inclosed in the stem,
is placed the ear of mazed.co en-
veloped III pale-green sheaths, which
at the season of the blossoming open
themselves little at the top, in order
to give room for tuft OF brilliant silky
thread, varying in all the colors of the
rainbow, but principally Of violet and
gold. 1t does not come very far out,
and withdraws itself again after the
ear, by means of it, has saluted the
air and the light, like some of those
small white plume5,upon the pistils of
| the rye and wheat with us. These
grand silky tufts were just now out,
and | broke off one of these heads, and
carefully unwrapped the one green
garment after another. Seven green
coverings did l thus remove, each in
ner one becoming of still softer tint,
and still finer texture than tho preced-
ing, the nearer they approached the
ear. Most cautiously did Iremove the
last pale green covering, and spirally
enwrapped veil of brilliant white, silky
thread screamed softly down from the
rich, pearly ear; most lovely, most in
expressively rich and purel Each
corn pearl had its silken thread, all
were turned to one side, and wound
round the ear, and united themselves
at the top, where they pressed toward
the light and received coloring from
rays.
A spirit of worship ayose in my soul
at the sight of that hidden but now re-
vealed glory, and | could not but re-
call the words of the Saviour: "Solo-
mon in all his glory was not arrayed as
one of thesep 1t was infinitely beauti-
full, and | wished that you could have
seen it with me.-FREDRIKA BREMER,

Sugar from Sorghum.

In a paper on making syrup and SUI
gar from sorghum, Prof. Henry, of the
Wisconsin Agricultural College. states
that a good sugar may be made by the
following direction: Do not cut the
cane until the seed begins to harden.
Do not allow the cane to stand stripped
in the field. Work up the cane as soon
as possible after being cut. Defecate
the Juice as soon as possible after Ieav-
ing the mill. For DELEGATION use milk
of lime, freed from coarse PARTICLES by
straining; add it gradually to the juice
with vigorous stirring, until piece of
red htmus paper is turned to pale
purple. Heat the juice quickly to the
boiling point, as shown by the swelling
and breaking of the scum. Remove
the scum after allowing the juice to
remain quiet for about five minutes,
Draw out the clear juice Through an
aperture near the bottom of the defe-
Gator, into the evaporating pan. Add
sulphurous acid to the clear juice until
piece of blue litmus paper is REDEEM
ed. This step may be omitted if no
excess of lime has been added during
DELEGATION. 1t will have no effect on
the quantity of sugar obtained, but il
will m AXE a lighter colored molasses

sity of forty.five degrees B., or is boiled
in an open pan to boiling tempera.
ture of 234 degrees +. Place in warm
room to crystalize, and in about a week
it will be ready to separate.

In the case of Edward Hoyey, who
is now on trial, in New York city, for
the murder of his sster-i law last
April, Judge Cowing has ruled that, as
the law Of New York now stands. a
wife is not allowed to testify against
her husband in criminal case, He,
therefore, refused to let the wife of the
prisoner take the stand. Her testi-
mony is important for the reason that
she is the only witness of the murder.
She was called by the prosecution, and
expressed her willingness to testify, but
was ruled out as incompetent by the
court This is in accordance with the
illogical rule of the old common law,
which prohibits the husband and wife
from appearing against each other IN
criminal cases. All other relatives are
competent witnesses, the father against
the son, and the daughter against the
mother, and this absurd relic ought to
be abolished everywhere. In some of
the states this rule has already been
set aside, rs it ought to be in all, but
in New York they seem to be still
clinging to it.

The great strike among the iron
workers began in Pittsburgh on the 1st
of last june, and it practically ended
in tina. city last week. After period
of enforced idleness of nearly four
months, these men resumed work at
the old rates they were receiving when
the disturbance commenced, and the
same WAY IS which they might have
been receiving all through the sum
mc. They begin again just where they
left OIL, as far as the contest with their
employers is concerned, and the differ
ence Between capital aad labor is nc
nearer satisfactory solution than it was
on the day that the men quit work.
From the pecuniary point of view, the
strikers are the losers to a large
amount. It's estimated that the mer

4 Cat NanInished BY SnarrOWs

AT Pottsville, Pa, recently q half
gro Tn cat caught young sparrow, and
the latter chirped loudly, giving the
alarm, and in very few moments a
large number of the belligerent little
birds were on the spot. They swooped
down on pussy from every direction
although She arched her back, distend-
ed her tail, and tried to give battle, she
was overcome by numbers and fled in
continent to the shelter of a coal shed
near at hand. This did not end the
matter. In the course of a haH-hour
.uss made her appearance on the scene
again. The birds appeared to have put
some of their number on picket duty
for as soon as the cat came from her
shelter the alarm was sounded, and the
ieathered clans came affresh to the
attack in greater force than ever. Their
feline enemy protiting by past exper,
fence, did not wait to make fight, out
ran swiftly as she could to her home
half a square away, the sparrows strlE-
inc her as long as she was in sight

faith at one time in the success Of the
Southern Confederacy, the wish proba-

fectei great contempt tor the military
incompetency at the head of the Union

TIE people of New York are to vote
at the November election for or against
an amendment to the constitution,
making the canals of that State free.
1t is much more important question
to the people of the State, and espe-
cially to the city of New York, than
who shall be the next Governor, but it
seems to have been studiously ignored
by both the recent political State con-
ventions. 1t is subject that goes to
the very core Of the transportation
controversy, touching in variety OF
ways the material interests and future
prosperity Of the State, and, as may be
supposed, meets with the hearty OPP
position of all the great trunk lines OF
railroad which enter New York city
The people of the great food produc-
ing West have deep interest in the
freedom of the canal, because it is one
of the methods OF cheapening the
transportation of farm products to the
sea. board, and whatever does that tends
directly to increase the annual divi
Gends of the Western farmers.

p'he influence of Malaria Counter
acted.

That the harmful influence upon the human
system of malaria may be effeotually counter
acted has been demonstrated for years past by
the protection afforded the inhabitants OF vast
miasma- breeding districts in North and South
America Guatemala, Mexico and the West
Indies, by Hostetters Stomach Bitt0rs. Used as
preventive they have invariably been found to
be a most reliable safeguard against chills and
fever, bilious renitents, and still more malignant
types Of malarious disease, and when employed
as a remedy have always proved their adequacy
to the task of Graduating such maladies from
the system. For disorders Of the stomach liver
and bowels which in hot climates and niasmatic
localities are particularly rite, the Bitters are a
prompt and thorough remedy. They also
strengthen the system, tranqnllize the nerves,
promote digestion and sound sleep, and impart
unwonted relish for food,
