ltaly's Richness In Actors.

italian singers are appreciated all over
the world, but 1 do not think that italian
actors are equally appreciated. Salvini;
Ristori, Rossi. and few others, who
have had the means to travel on their
own account, are known abroad. But
Italy is full of such actors, and could get
together company superior to anything
in France, England, Germany or Amer
lea. Marini, Tessero, Campi, Ruta, and
q host of others are superior to any
Bernhardt, and More.li, Dominica, Pas
ia, Emanuel, are all Salvinis. But Sal
vini has had the lead of them, and none
will ever now make the same effect as
he has done. All the great actors and
actresses in Italy travel about with COM
panies Of their own. They are cfm-
pelled 70 do this, because there is no
stock company in any town in italy.
This is ruinous to the Italian drama but
90 it is. Rome, however, is to have q
national company for six months in the
year, and this is to begin next winter
In the meantime it is travelling now
from town to town, like any other COM

A Moral from Japan.

There was once a great prince OF Jap
an who was in enmity with several mi
nor princes. And he cast dice with them
to settle the point whether they or he
should commit hari kari. The cast went
dead against him, and the winners
looked to see him call inst antly for the
knife and take himself out Of the way in
proper fashion. But they. imagined q
vain thing. The great prince was not
minded to make his exit, and he was
especially loath to 60, leaving his enc
mics behind him. Instead of paying the
double debt of honor and nature at q
stroke, he came forward with PROPOSE
ton. "Gentleman," he said, this is
staked my life to you and it is lost. Now
let us pay the forfeit. I am ready to kill
myself, provided you will join me in the
happy dispatch" And 10! while he was
talking sword circled behind him and
his head rolled upon the floor. The
moral of the story is that some people
never know when it is time to go, and
they have to be taught. I.

Superior Cucumber Pickles.


To every five gallons of strong vinegar
add a pint of pure alcohol, a lump of
alum the size of a small walnut. and a
handful each, of ground or pounded
pepper, cloves, cinnamon and
allspice. Pepper alone may be used if
preferred, or the spices may be omitted
altogether, but they add greatly to the
flavor Of the pickles A few pieces Of
horseradish are also an improvement.
The alum must not be omitted as it
hardens the pickles. Put the cucum-
beers right in the barrel, k &, or crock.
containing the prepared vinegar each
day, as they are gathered. If necessary
to wash them do not rub them. Lay
board on them with sufficient
weight to keep the pickles under
the vinegar, and: allow no
cut late in the evening, or early III the
morning, and handled carefully. Ten
der string beans and radish pods, green
tomatoes, and plums thatare almost ripe
but not soft, may also be put in the same
vinegar with the cucumbers, and they
will make excellent pickles. Peaches,
pears, cherries, onions, ETC., might be
prepared in the same way; but l have
never tried them. If good cider vinegar
is not to be had, make vinegar of syrup,
allowing one gallon to three or four of
water. The pickles are soon ready for
use. We always follow the above mode
and many have declared our pickles the
best they ever tasted Rural New York

Sorghum and Sugar Beets.

The cultivation Q: :sorgham and sugar
b cts is to be encouraged in Massachu-
sets through the offering of a bounty by
the state of 81 per ton for all varieties of
sugar beets or sorghum raised and used
within the Commonwealth in the manu-
facture of sugar. This bounty of 81 per
ton on the raw material is to continue
for three years, and it is thought by that
time that the industry will become so
thoroughly established that it can sue
coed without further aid from the state.
Sorghum will thrive wherever corn will
grow, and we can see no good reason
why all the sugar required for use in
this country cannot be made here out
Of Q, this II !, plant; 0fcouEse: the process Of
crude and unsatisfactory, but it will no
doubt be greatly improved as the culture
ofsorghum extends. We have more con-
fidence in sorghum than in beets, because
the plant can be Used at less cost Of
labor.-New York Sun.

why Travellers Are All Liars.

The reason why travellers are all liars
is easily found out, and is far from the
most evil trait of the human nature.
The practice is largest in the tourists or
travellers for pleasure and culture. The
travellers tale is of sights he has seen,
which the nearer has not seen. He has
an amiable desire to feed the hearers
wonder. Also, the if:o,s he magnifies
the things of travel the more he magni
ties his own advantages OF luxtsfx and
culture which the rest have not enjoyed.
THIS the exagseration of the things he
has seen is . direct exaltation Of his
own superiority, which his modesty
wouldnt PROMPT by direct selfassertion.
The more wonderful the things he tells
the greater hero ths teller. Thus, in
the order of humat1 nature, travellers are
all liars.-Letter in Cincinnati CONNER

Electtoneering IN Uiu Kentucky

The "Man Oh the Avenue" tells sto-
ry which he gets from prominent Ken
tuckian about General Wolford's canvass
for his seat in the next congress. VOL
ford was an officer in the union army
"a colonel in the Second Kentucky
cavalry, but democrat: When he was
nominated General Fry was sent up in
to the district to hold up the republican
end. Fry had only been gone four days,
the narrator says. when he returned,
looking very blue. Being asked why he
was back so soon, he said he could not
cope with Wolford's methods and facul-
ties: He said that Wolford met him at
mountain town where they were to
speak together, treated him handsome
~, and gave him the opening and clos
ing of the debate. He spoke, touching
on national topics, and giving especial
attention to the magnanimity of the re-
publican party toward the confederates
after the war. Here is the way the Re-
publican tells the remainder:
"Wolford got up" said Fry, ''and pay
ing no attention to what | had said on

hung him right between the liEes in
plain view."
"Hold on" I shouted, "that is not
true, General Wolford. You know you
are perverting facts"
Christianity two or three of the old
Second cavalry boys sprang up, and
swore that they had been on the ground
and seen General Lee hung, and one of
them remarked. with q swagger, that If
any body questioned the statement he
would have to chew on the barrel of a
six-shooter."
"What did they do with JEFF. Davis

Wolford. "Why. they tied 5000 pounds
