Senator Voorhees,, of Indiana,
modestly announces that he is not a
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton. He believes ex-senator Me-
Donald is the coming man. He con-
cedes the old ticket has much of its
former strength, but does not think
it will be pressed. Mr.. Voorhees, re-
CARDS Democratic victory in 1884
as certain. He thinks the question
of the tariff will not be as important
an issue in the coming race as it was
in the last, the position of the party
on that question being clearly defined
and accepted"

Eucalyptus Trees and Malaria.

About 100000 eucalyptus trees have
been planted on large tract of land in
the Roman Campagna by the Trappists,
TO whom the tract was granted by the
Italian Government. The vast marshes
in the vicinity of Rome have exhaled
deadly vapors for many centuries, and
no device hitherto employed has dimin-
ished their malarial influence But the
planting of eucalyptus trees has already
made Ire Fontane the abbey of the
Trappists, babitable throughout the
whole year, although the monks have
heretofore been compelled to desert if
during the sickly season. The result
has excited the wonder of the Italian
Government, and intelligent people ev-
erywhere are discussing the Importance
of introducing the eucalyptus in every
malarial region where it will grow. The
tree is useful for building ships and
bridges, and also for railway ties, and
as its growth is rapid the considerations
in favor of its introduction are many
The eucalyptus thrives in France, Spain,
Portugal and Italy, and in Australia il
is especially fourishing. 1t may not
prove adequate for the removal of the
box of quinine pills from the pocket of
every resident of New jersey, but it will
certainly thrive in the south, where its
influence is SO much needed to counter
act the miasma which produces deadly
fevers and devouring epidemics.-N. Y

Beer.Drinking Ponies.

Mr.. H. r. Becker, of New Brunswick.
n. j., wagered Mr.. S. P. Knapp, of this
city, basket of champagne that spar
of white ponies belonging to Mr.. Becker
would drink beer yesterday afternoon
at the bare of Mr.. Kosmak's public-house
in Chatham Street. In order to win the
bet it was necessary that the ponies
should drink glass apiece. They were
unhitched from light carriage at Mr.
Kosmak's door early in the afternoon
and led into the bar-room. The head
stalls were removed and strap halters
put on. While waiting for the arrival
of Mr.. Knapp, the company that had
gathered to see the beer-drinking ponies
grew to considerable proportions
Shortly after the arrival of Mr.. Knapp.
two ponies of lager were placed on the
bar in front of the ponies of horsetiesh
The little horses shifted at the foam or
top of the glasses, and then turned theil
heads around to see what the crowd OF
men around them meant. The glasses
were held to their mouths, but they shut
their jaws together and stubbornly re-
fused to imbibe. Ii looked as though
Mr.. Knapp would win the bet.
Bring lager-beer glasses" said Mr.
Becker, and glasses of the ordinary size.
filed with foaming beer, were set on the
bar.
When one of the large glasses was
offered to Minnie, the off pony, she put
her lips to the rim and drank as though
she relished it. In the meantime, with
a little eoaxing, Tommy, the nigh pony,
had slipped small glass of the beve-
rage; but he positively declined to drink
more. Mr.. Becker was disappointed.
Tommy is the heavier drinker of the
two" he said, land can't understand
It. But it was agreed by all hands that
the ponies had won the bet for their

How to Kill Cabbage Worms.

The ravages of the caterpillars of the
cabbage butterfly caused great deal OF
trouble last summer at the State Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, Geneva,
n. Y, particularly those of the second
Or August brood. In order to test the
efficacy of various reputed remedies for
the cabbage worms, the director ap-
piled them to special collections fol-
worms, and noted the effects. One
specimen confined for three hours
IN bottle partly filled with black pep
per crawled away discolored by the pow
der, but apparently unframed. The
second, repeatedly immersed in solu-
ton of saltpeter, and third in one OF
boracic acid, exhibited little indications
Of inconvenience. Bisulphide of carbon
produced instant death when applied tc
the worm, though its fumes were not
effectual. The fumes of benzine as well
as the liquid caused almost instant death,
but when applied to the cabbages small
whitish eXcrescences appeared on the
leaves. Hot water applied to the cab
bage destroyed a portion of the worms,
causing also the leaves to turn yellow.
One ounce of saltpeter and two pounds
cemmon salt dissolved in three gallons
of water formed an application which
was partly efficient. The most salts
factory remedy tested, however, con-
sisted of mixture of one-half pound
each of hard soap and kerosene oil in
three gallons of water. This was APP
piled August &c; an examination the fol
lowing day showed many, if not all, the
worms destroyed.
The growing cabbage presents such a
mass of leaves in which the caterpillars
may be concealed that it is hardly pos
Sible to reach all the worms at one APP
plication. 1t is of Importance, there
fore, to repeat the use of any remedy al
frequent interyals.-Scientifc Ameri-

An Accurate Time.Piece.

While on the subject of
Waltham watches, we may mention that
we have seen a letter from the Com
mander of the Gordon Castle Castle
line of Steam Packets), who was fortu-
nate enough to save life at sea, and who
for his gallant conduct was presented in
September last with Gold Keyless
Waltham Watch by the President OF the
United States, on behalf of the London
Local Marine Board. Referring to this
Presentation Watch, he says: "When
left London the watch was six seconds
fast, and on my arrival at Singapore it
was only three seconds slow, most ex-
traordinary performance for watch, as
| carried it on my person the whole
time. compared it every day with my
chronometers on the passage out. and it
seldom or ever differed one second from
them; in fact. l found it almost, if not
as good as my chronometers, which is
great deal to say for a watch carried
about and subject to all kinds of jolts."

FARM AND PRESIDE.

-Graha.n Gems.-One and one-hal1
cups of any milk that is not very sour,
pne-third cup of sugar, one and one
half teaspoonfuls of soda, thicken with
good Graham meal little thicker than
Graham griddle cakes.
A farmer writes that patch of corn
upon which salt has been spread was
not SO much affected by drought as
another patch uportwhich farm manure
was used. The yield was also larger.
1t is very important to work horses
very moderately the first two or three
days of spring work. Let them rest
frequently, and ease the collar at least
every half hour. A little care in begin
ming right will save horses from gals
that, if neglected, will make them OF
little use through the season.
Puff Pudding.-Soak over night one
cupful of pearl barley in one quart Of
milk. In the morning put it in a farina
kettle, and let it come to boil; then
sweeten it TO taste and add the beaten
yelks of five eggs, little salt and one
tablespoonful of vanilla or lemon, and
bake, but not very long. Take it from
the oven and whip the whites of the five
eggs very stiff and stir them through
the pudding. Eat when about half
cold; no sauce required.
1t is reported that large part of
central New York will be set out in hops
this year. Thousands upon thousands
of hop-poles are now passing over the
railroads leading from the region of
northern New York and Canada, some
of the poles being mere scrubs, while
others are almost large enough to be
planted for telegraph-wire supporters.
The reason of this state of things is that
the good fortune of the hop-growers last
fall has all but turned the heads of the
farmers.
Why would it not be better to SOW
down to clover and timothy half of the
ground we have now in corn and by
better cultivation raise as much on the
other half as we do now on the whole,
and get the clover and timothy clear?
Surprising some of our farmers try that
way, and after sowing half the corn
ground in grass for two or three years,
pillow that up and put into corn and sow
down the land that had been in corn.
All will be surprised to see how the few
years in clover had both enriched and
cleaned the ground.-Coffn.
Happy is the woman who can have
foruse in cooking genuine, freshly-made
buttermilk. The following recipe for
crullers is proof of this: Half pint
of buttermilk, small teacupful of
butter, two cups of sugar and three
eggs. Beat the eggs and then add the
milk and sugar. Half a teaspoonful of
soda, dissolved in little hot water,
should then be added. Crate half nut
meg and stirin with tablespoonful of salt
and half teaspoonful of ground CHINA
mon of good strength. Work in flour
enough to make a firm, smooth dough.
Roll this and cut out cakes in fancy
shapes, or twist like ordinary fried
cakes. Fry in hot lard.

Remarkable Tribute.

Sidney Ourchundro, Pittsburgh, Pa,
writes: 81 have used DR.. VIM. HALLS
BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS many years, with
the most gratifying results. The relieving
influence of Halls Balsam is wonderful.
The pain and rack of body, incidental to
tight cough, soon disappear by the use of a
spoonful according to directions. My wife
frequently sends for Halls Balsam instead
of physician, and health is speedily re-
stored by its use.
