An Englishman has discovered a
use for orangepecl. He finds that,
after being dried in an oven until
all the moisture has been expelled,
it becomes readily inhammable, and
serves admirably either for lighting
fires or for resuscltating them when
they have nearly gone out. Thorough
ly dried orangepeel will keep for a
very long time, and might be
collected while the fruit is in season,
and stored for Winter use.

For many years there lived in Albany or
Waterford man named Peter Ellis, or Ellison.
He died about three years ago. At the time of
his death he must have been near 20 years of
age. The writer saw him at Saratoga Springs
in the. e.summer of 1876 He was then large,
loose-made, big-boned man, not much under
six feet iii height. He was known as a most
enormous eater 4 dressed turkey, weighing
twenty-one pounds, was roasted, and on
wager Ellison ate the whole of it at one sitting
or within about the usual time occupied at din
ner, together with bread and some kind of
wine dozen years ago New York sporting
man made an offer in the way of bet to the
late John Morrissey that he could produce a
man who would eat a twenty three pound
dressed turkey roasted, and, when he named
Peter Ellison as his man, Mr. Morrissey said
" l know the man." and the offered bet was not
accepted.
AT the time alluded to, when the writer met
Peter Ellison. the old man related the particu-
lars Of an eating match between another and
himself which took place many years before at
Snediker's on Long Island then well-known
roadside inn much frequented by lovers of the
horse. The dinner was to consist of broiled
spring chickens, bread and wine. The chick
ems were TO be split open at the back and
broiled whole, or as Peter termed it, in

half given him by the carver and referee. Eli

When he heard the beat of the mastering drum
That he never would fold his arm and sigh
Over the state of ills that would come;
] knew that the blood of patriot sire
Coursed through his veins like stream of fire;
So took his hand,
And bade him go,
But he never dreamed
That il grieved me SO.
Two fair-haired children he left with me,
Who lisp his name at the ventide-
The very hour when upon his knee
He used to fondle his pet and pride.
Alas they may never again be blessed
By q fathers care in the old home nest;
And he never again
May hear the tones,
Or kiss the lips
OF his little ones.

That his breast is barred at a high command;
But my heart will break, know. if he fall
In the battlefront by traitors hand;
Yet murmur not though my tear-wet eyes
Attest the worth Of the sacrifice;
Tis a wfes free gift
Two lives in one,
In the name of God,
And of Washington.
Perhaps, when the maple trees red,
And the golden glories of harvest come,
shall wake some morning to hear his tread.
And give him warm hearts welcome home;
To kneel with him in feryent prayer,
Thanking our God for his watchfu care
In shielding his heart
From the rebels brand,
Who honored the flag
Ofthe cherished land.

The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain dissembIes,
The while, beneath her dropping lash,
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles.
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And Fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed drop as dear
As ever dewed the field of glory.
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And brayely speaks the cheering word
What though her heart be rent asunder?
Doomed, nightly in her dreams, to hear
The bolts of war around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood IS e'er
Was poured upon the plain of battle.
The mother who conceals her grief,
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes a few brave words and brief,
kissing the patriot brow she blesses;
With no ore but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedoms field of honor.

EXPERIMENTS IN TURNIP CULTURE.
Prof, Jameson, of Aberdeen, Scotland. at a
meeting in Forfar a few weeks ago stated,
in relation to experiments in turnip cul-
ture, that they had proved: First, that the tur
nip plant can no more grow without phosphate
than without water or air; second, that the
plant must have the phosphate in an unhurtful
form-must be neutralZed by oxygen and lime; /;
and third, that full crop of turnips, or 10000
pounds per acre, contains only about thirty
pounds of phosphates, and, yet, that the plant
can no more grow without that two O-thOusandth
part of the crop than without air or water;
fourth, that boneduSt was an effective manure
mainly on account of the phosphate 1t con-
tains: fifth, that a more thorough pulveriZa-
tion, by grinding the final DIVISION exercises
quicker or earlier action on the plant-the
finest state of division being got by mixing
bone with an equal weight of yitriol or sui
phuric acid, the result of which was to make
dissolved phosphate-a phosphate which, when
put in water, disappears as water does. The
sixth discovery was that undissolved phosphate
in finely ground coprolite acted almost identi-
cally with undissolved phosphate in bone; and
the seventh was that dissolved phosphate acts
more quickly than undissolved phosphate, and
gives usually a rather heavier crop, but very
often a less healthy one.
BEST CREAM FOR BUTTER.
The American CulirdtOr states that Quincy
market butter dealers, those who handle the
choicest lots of fine fresh butter, say that all
the popular and high-priced lots of gilt-edged
butter are made from ripened cream. Neither
the highest flavor or aroma can be developed III
such butter as is produced from sweet cream.
Though fresh butter made from sweet cream,
is very acceptable the day it is made, its dete-
rioration is Immediately afterward apparent,
while that from ripened cream maintains its
good qualities for much longer time. Those
who have never tasted butter made from
ripened cream do not realize the possibilities of
the butter makers art.
MELON CULTURE.
Mr.. Dickinson, of Springfield, Mass, who is
famed fer growing watermeiOns takes sandy
ground in sward and spreads manure on strip
three or four feet wide, and then turns two fur
rows together and plants seed on the ridge, but
does not plow the spaces between. Melons
want a good deal of heat, and they get some
from the fermentation of the sod and manure.

lady who had purchased a new bonnet received
it on Saturday. Not long after she was missed,
and her absence was so protracted that the
family became concerned about her and insti-
tuted a search. After looking the premises all
over her daughter found her in her chamber,
sitting quietly with the new bonnet on. The
daughter exclaimed, Why, mother, what are

Thousands of BufralOes Slain Yearly.
TFrom the ,Siour City Journail

ITTU"t NC otOHI Guy oO"THU'J
The kill of buffalo last winter was estimated
at $4,000, which, from the number of hides
shipped, is probably very close to the mark. The
kill of this winter promises to fall a long way
short of last. A dealer of this city, who has a
buyer in the field, reports that he has SO far
secured but 900 hides. The amount of the
matter is that the buffalo are rapidly becoming
extinct, and unless the attempt to domesticate
the animal succeeds the noblest American game
will pass into history before the next census is
taken.

The book-keeper said he was not. The man

asked when the man he sought would be in.
