Henry Clay's Last Visit to the House.

Henry Clay's last visit to the House of
Representatives, over which he had pre-
sided so long and well, was at the fu-
neral of Mr.. Kaufman, Of Texas, in
February, 1851. He did not come in
with the Senators, but he entered the
House alone, and took his seat immcdi-
ately in front of the Speaker. lie did

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Culture OF Hardy Cranes.

]. T. Lovett, of Little Silver, the we'll
known New Jersey fruit grower, says in
regard to the culture of hardy grapes
Plant in rows six feet apart and the vines
eight feet apart in the rows Dig holes
twelve to fifteen inches deep, and of a
size amply large to accommodate the
vines. They should then be filled to
within six or eight inches of the top with
fine, rich soil, throwing in while doing
so few bones or some wood ashes, if to
be had. Cut back onc-year vines to two
eyes, placing the lower one below the sur
face, two-year vines to three or four eyes,
and putting two or three eyes below the
surface. Spread out the roots (Which
should have previously had one-third
their length cut Off, place the stock of
the vine at one side OF the hole, and fill
with soil. pressing it firmly. When plant
ed, set stake at the stock Ito which the
vine should be kept ted, which will be
all the support required for two years.
Keep old wood trimmed off, growing
fruit on new canes. Any manner of
pruning that will admit the sun to the
fruit will insure a crop; and laying the
vines on the ground, even without cover
ing will increase both the quality of the
fruit and the size of the lunches, beside
insuring safety from injury by frost. For
mildew, dust with flower of sulphur while
the vines are wet.

hangings; dirty wardrobes and dirty

Many houses, from the mansion 10 the

of the following reasons: Damp and I'M

drains within the basement; rotten tim

without adequate means of ventilation /;
water cistorns and pumps in improper
places, supplying contaminated water.
To ventilate stairs and passages, open
the staircase or passage window, or both,
by drawing down the top sash several
inches in summer, one or moro inches in
winter, and in some cases screw the sash
fast, SO that these windows must be open
all the year round; if there is a skylight
above the staircase, let there be ventila-
ton here which cannot be closed. The

Probably very few of my readers,
writes Paris correspondent, have ever
seen the opera which Verdi wrote upon
/ the story of Schillers Robbers" Fewer
still, in all probability, know the curious
story connected with its performance in
Paris, from no fault of the composer,
but from the unfortunate rotundity of
the principal performer.
In Schiller's drama, much of the inter-
est turns upon the ill treatment of the
poor old father by his two cruel and de-
PRAYED sons, who starve him almost to
death. The opera contains Il very touch
ing and beautiful aria for the bass, de-
scfiptivc of his suferings, in which be
speaks of his starved and emaciated con-
dition in terms which are intended to
excite the extreme of compassion on the
part of the audience.
When the play was cast in Paris
Lablache was in his prime, rot only as to
his magnificent voice, but also to q certain
expansion of waist and rotundity of
figure of which he was by no means
ashamed, but which his enemies describe
as unmitigated fat. AS ill-fortune would
have it, Verdi's heavy father had to be
given to the basso, and Lablache not
without some secret misgivings, under
took the part. a little tittering greeted
his delivery of the lines in rehearsal, and
the basso himself was somewhat nervous,
but when tn night came he surpassed
himself. and the curtain fell on the first
act amid thundcrs of applause.
But the moment of trial was yet to
come, and when, on the curtain rising
upon the second act, Lablache waddled
forward to the footlights, and with his
huge voice and enormous chest began to
deliver himself of the fathers miseries.
it was too much for the risible faculties
of the audience, and when the giant in
tones of thunder, appealed to them to
look upon his wasted limbs and enact
ated frame, the mcrriment burst all
| bounds, and amid commissions of laugh
ter which shook the house, Lablache re-
tired, vowing vengeance upon all con-
cerned in what he was determined to
consider personal insult. Verdi, | be-
lieve, managed to pacfy him by his as.
surance of the absence of any such in
tention on his part, but the opera had to
be Withdrawn from the boards, and has
rarely been seen since.

EEints Toward Healthy Homes.

Swlll-tubS should not be near doors OF
windows.
Housewives should be guttered and
spouted.
Outside channel should be in good
order, and be regularly cleaned.
Garden plants should, of course, be in
order, and be properly cultivated.
The ground floor of house should not
be below the level of the land street or
road outside.
The subsoil beneath house should be
naturally dry, or it should be made dry
by land draining.
Cess-pools, ccss-pits, sink -holes Oh
drains should not be formed nor be re-
tanned within house easements.
The subsoil within every basement
should have layer of concrete over it,
and there should be full ventilation.
The ground around dwelling houses
should be paved, tagged, asphalted, Gov
cred with concrete or be gravcled.
A bed of concrete over the site of cot.
tagcs will vastly modify an otherwise OBJ
jectionable position; but, indeed, bed
of concrete should be used in all cases.
Schools, as a rule, are very effectively
I NNhAllttbNb. ClNilIldlllN uul -CClllnOcNl
rooms are totally unfit for public schools.
The space should be open up to roof
ridge, and this should be covered.
DO not build on heaps of rubbish,
filings in with cesspool refuse, chemical
waste, or on swampy ground which can
not be drained. Thousands O. houses
have been so placed, and are now being
so placed in the suburbs of our towns.
Pigsties should ever be kept at a dis
lance; and, where pigs are kept, there
should be rigid cleanliness. Improperly
keeping pigs has caused much more
human sickness and DESTROYED more life
than all the battles the country has been
engaged in.
Nurseries and children's rooms should
be permanently ventilated. Dormitories
for children should have ample ventila-
ton; clothc the children warmly, cover
the beds warmly, prevent direct draughts,
and the cold air will not injure.
A site eXcavatcd on the side of hill
or steep bank is liable to be dangerous,
as external ventilation may be defective,
and the subsoil water from above NAV
soak toward and beneath such houses.
Middens, ash-heaps and cess-pools, if at
the back, must also faint such base
mcnts.
Avoid flue ventilation of every sort /;
let the fresh air come in direct as posi-
bic. Night air is the only air you can
have at night, so do not fear it, Dread
foul, because tainted, air manufactured
within the rooms. Any outside fresh air
is better than lung and skin tainted in
side air.
Houses are unwholesome from accumu-
lated dirt, carelessness and personal neg
lect as when: Rooms are not sufii-
GENTLY cleansed carpets are left down
too long and never swept; windows are
seldom opened; closets are dirty, nog-
lected and without ventilation; dirty
beds are unmade and shrouded by dirty

b Pear blight and peach yellows are sub
jects of prolific and dissenting discussion
at every horticultural meeting. Mr.
Sat crthwait i'll report on the diseases
of fruit trees to the Pennsylvania State
Horticultural society, points out the
great difference between the two dis
eases, namely, that while the ycllows IS
extremely contagious, no one need fear
to plant pear tree where blightcd one
has been removed. lie stated that he
had thousands of trees, vigorous and en-
tirely healthy, that were planted beside
the stumps of trees killed by the pear
blight and not one was ever affected.
He regards ii as proved to certainty
that pear blight is an entirely different
disease in its nature from the peach vel
lows, and he mentioned as additional
proof that it is Il usual occurrence for
pear trees to be locally affected, or in Il
single branch, without the disease spread
ing and the tree entirely recovering its
health and vigor.
Mr.. Satterthwait reported favorably of
the kieifer pear, about which opinions
are so variable. With him it has proven
not only wonderfully productive, but
handsome in appearance and gaining
high prices in market lie believes the
quality of this much-disputcd pear de-
ponds largely on properly ripening the
fruit. His plan consists in packing the
pears in wooden boxes, containing about
one bushel each, and placing them in a
cool, dry cellar, one on top Of the other.
In this connection it may be well to state
that c. NJ IIovey, of Boston, is credited
with saying that. the KiefTer is the least
satisfactory of all his 500 varieties of the
pear, another indication that the Kiclrer
gives different results in different locali-
ties under varying circumstances. -Nep

What mechanical means were employed
by the Pyramid builders? Mr.. Petric
says they used saws and drills fashioned
of bronze-evidence of which is found
in the green staining on the sides of the
saw cuts-and that their cutting edges
were furnished by fixed jewel points set
in the teeth of the saws and on tho face
and circumference of the drills. The
forms of the tools were straight saws
eight feet or more in length, circular
saws, tubular drills, as much as five
inches in diameter, and lathes; there are
even traces of the use in lathes of fixed
tools and mechanical rests.

Economy of sOiIiulg Cattle.

Selling cattle is an economical practice
for the small farmer, says a New York
paper, BY this method of feeding twice
the number of animals may be kept on
the same number of acres. Dairymen
who desire to provide green food for
their COWS during droughts, short pas
ture, etc, have done much toward in
Producing the system of soiling among
cattle-feeders. The latter, finding an
acre of good fodder corn, millet, clover,
etc, to be gain over pasture, decided,
many of them, to adopt the soiling plan
In States where land is high in price and
winters are cold. A first item in saving
Is, of couse, the land; second is that
of fences, for where stock is not pastured
there is no need of Enclosures except for
the yards. There is also saving of
food, for under the soiling system food
may be given in such condition and GUAM
tity that all will be consumed. Selling
also admits of utilizing weeds, such as
plantain, daisies and thistlcs, which, when
cut in succulcnt state, are relished by
all animals. There are farmers who con-
tend that soiling makes clean farms be-
cause the frequent cutting of the weeds
soon kills them. In soiling cattle for
beef a saving is experienced from very
lack of exercise, for exercise in foraging
over large fields in search of pasture is at
the expenditure of food. Another great
saving comes under the head of manure
Advocates for the soiling system contend
that the saving in manure pays for all
the labor of soiling. The chief oppo-
sition to soiling is the labor required to
carry it out. This extra labor consists in
raising soiling crops and cutting and
feeding the same regularly.
