eral Hamilton received to-day g
copy Of letter dated July 10, from
DR.. J B. Pease, who attended tne
supposed cholera case on theKstle L
Silver, and who warned The authorl-
ties at Nashville. Dr. Pesse says
the family arrived at New Orleans
five days since (July 14th) from San
Luis, Spain. The vessel had been
at RoIdesux, TonIon and Vera
Cruz. Though the father did not
speak English, DR.. Peas Gays be
learned he had been detained at
Foulon. The Doctor says further:
"The child died with every symp-
tom Of cholera. Whether this was
case CT Asiatic or sporadic cholera.
I will not positively assert, but
cholera 1t certainly was"

Burying in jars, waxing the ond of each clus-
ter, wrapping in paper, using cotton or saw
dust, are variously advised for keeping grapes,
but allthese methods are too fussy, complicated
and unnecessary. Grapes will, without spec
ial treatment, keep about as we'll as apples, il
the temperature is cool enough, and not too
damp or dry. At our great vineyards the
grapes are gathered from the vines into keep
ing boxes about three feetlong, eighteen inches
wide, and ten inches deep, the sides tapering to
prevent the weight Of the fruit pressing too
heavily on that beneath. The grapes should
be handled as little as possible; they are placed
in the boxes as picked, and not disturbed again
for several months, being immediately stored
in cool, dry cellars until the market suits
The grower-often until January or Feb
ruary. They are then packed in boxes of
different sizes as tho market may demand,
and shipped in cases. Tho fruit must be ripe
-imperfectly ripened grapes will not keep BY
any method. select kinds that have thick skin
and a reputation for keeping. Catawba and
Isabella are good keepers, but they are too
late IN ripenins for most localities. Agawam,
is not considered a good keeper, but can often
be kept until February. When first picked,
the house cellar is the coolest place a farmer
has, 80 put them there. AS the season advan-
COS and the cellar windows are closed, the Gel
lar becomes too warm. No fruit should be
kept in the house cellar then. AS the cold
weather comes on, place the baskets of grapes
In a room where they will be kept as cool as
possible and will not freeze, and where it is
not too dry. If there should be danger of
frost, throw a heavy blanket over a pile of tho
baskets. The grapes will stand considerable
cold, but will not endure warmth. Grapes in
winter are a great luxury, and withal health
full and appetizing.- Sacramento, Cal Bee

Remedy for Rheumatism.

To o medical man the announcement Of a
remedy for rheumatism is about as definite as
o remedy for illness. There are various forms
Of rheumatism, and any part of the body may
be affected It is therefore absurd to claim
that the same remedy will relieve all cases.
But there is a form of the complaint that is
very commonin malarial districts, for which
we would suggest a treatment that has been
highly commended by persons who nave ON
ployed it.
Take ono or two teaspoonfuls of Rochelle
salts in half a glass of cold water; follow this
Immediately with q glass of lemonade, which
contains all the juice of a large lemon, and the
requisite quantity Of sugar to render it pleas
ant to drink. This simple treatment may be
employed once or twice a day, according to
She severity of the rheumatism. We are as
sured that this plan will cure in eight to twelve
days any rheumatism of m.asmatic character.
The treatment is indeed based on scientific
principles. Citric acid separates any excess
IF bile from the blood, and the Rochelle salts
aastens its elimination from the system. This
'orm of rheumatism depends upon an un-
healthy condition Of the blood caused by ma
arial poison; consequently no form of treat
nent could be more rational than the one
above suggested. And nothing can be more
absurd than to expect to cure rheumatism with
hniments and massage alone. These are sim
ply useful in affording relief until more
thorough remedies have time to act-Halrs

How Died.

The sudden disappearance Of the

family after the revelation of their nu.
merous atrocities, and the failurs Of all
efforts to discover the whereabouts Of
The fugitives, enshrouded the whole aft
fair with an air Of .lmpenetrable mys-
terry. The vail was not lifted until
some twelve months ago, when the st.
Louis Republican published the story
of one Of the avenging party which owe

Captain began, ""Col. York traced his
brother to the house occupied by thu
Benders. Being unable to obtain any
further information of his lost brother
he returned to Independence, Kan,
and communicated the result of his in
v~estigation to Capt. Stone, Sheriff Of
Montgomery county. The next day
Col. York and Capt. Stone visited the
Bender residence, and they were re-
ceived by the man who married Kate
Bender, and who went by the name. OF
John Bender. John Bender admitted
that DR.. York had stayed at their
house, and asserted that he had heard
nothing Of the Doctor since. Being
unable to obtain any satisfaction, Col.
York and Capt. Stone retraced their
steps to Independence. A posse was
formed, and the company started forth

to the bottom. When they arrived at
the Bender homestead the birds had
flown. The house and garden were ex-
amined. and in the garden we found
nine bodies of murdered persons. one OF

whitswasn.

The wholesomeDess of a dwelling is much
increased by its being frequently whitewashed.
This is particularly important In hot weather
sud when there is reason to fear an epidemic.
The finer whitewash, made with whiting and
size, may be used on interior walls and ceilings.
It is made by pouring water on cakes Of whit
ing and stirring until the liquid is like a thin
cream, when a small quantity of warm size or
dissolved glue is added to prevent the color
rubbing of. 1t is necessary first to remove
the dirt and the old whitewash by washing it
away with a brush and plenty of clean water.
But for purifying purposes there is nothing
made by placing in a pail some freshly-burned
quick lime and pouring in sufficient water to
cover it II tho lime is fresh, great heat is
given out and the lime gradually crumbles IN

seed oil, sold by all paint dealers and druggists
should then be added in the proportion Of
one pint to each gallon of wash. For cheap
moss any refuse fat, such as dripping, may Sc
used instead of the oil. This is necessary to
fix the wash and prevent its rubbing of. The
wholei is then to DO thinned with water to tho
consistenee of cream and applied with q broad,

y IA Iuo 4NCW 1UTh T1UuT. aa- r.. .H.. e
The so-called national game of base
ball is rapidly assuming the aspect of an
armed c%anfict between opposing forces:
1t is probable that there is not d single
totally unfractured player in the land,
and the number killed or fatally wound
ed on the ball-feld foots up an aggre-
gate that might put many q respectable
battlefield to shame. OF course these
chances of manning or slaughter lend
additional excitement to the spectators,
if not to the players, but apparently
not enough. A tendency has lately
been exhibited to give a browning finish
to the game by immolatini; the umpire
at its close. Within a fortnight three OF
these unhappy officials narrowly es-
capped with their lives and n choice as
sortment of bruises. Now, this was
plainly unreasonable. Base ball is
played to furnish sport to the public,
who certainly pay we'll for it, and if the
death of the umpire is necessary to top
off the pnblic's pleasure, why should he
demur? Hereafter, care should be TAX.

ACTORS IN
None With Any Money Just Row and .
Poor Winter Outlook.

From the New York Sun.
"None of them have any money" re-
marked the old comedian, as he took
his place beside the writer again and
o%stentatiously dried his m%oustache,
"but they are as happy as SO many mill
ionaires. You see, an actor is obliged
to lie idle for four or five months every
year without pay. How many business
men there are who would not be pover-
ty-stricken under such conditions? ?"
"But I thought that they occasionally
had summer engagements ?"
Nor this year." said the old come
dian, gloomily. "This is the worst
year for actors that / have eyer known
and this is my forty-seventh year in the
'perfesh.' ALI the theatres closed in
May and the early part of June, because
the people wouldn't have any more Of
them and the few combinations that
started out had to walk home within a
fortnight. The watering places will
have nothing to do with itinerant shows
and the country towns have caught q
new craze"
"What is it?"
"Roller skating. Every small town
and village Of the country now has its
roller skating rink, where the people
gather and put in their time plunging
around the floors and trying to master
the elusive skate. They have profess
sional teachers from, the city in many in
stances and as the cost Of enjoying the
sport is very light it has virtually SUI
perseded the theatres as q form Of amuse-
ment. Then, added to this, comes
the political excitement. While
men can hear stump speeches,
brass bands and campaign lies
they rare little for the artistic enjoy
ment afforded by the drama. The cam
paign committees have fireworks, rati-
fication meetings and banner raisings
in the towns all the way through The
country and Of course we have to suf-
fer"
ut seems like a gloomy outlook"
"More SO than people outside of the
professional ranks car imagine. It Is q
fact that no n will deny that the ma
jority of managers closed last season in
debt. Through the provinces the
travelling companies nearly all lost mon
ey, and the successes in New York, as
you will doubtless remember, can be
counted upon your ten fingers. There
is little reason to hope that, with the
opposition q all the torchlight process
sions, politicians and other political
fummery, next seaso will be any bet
ter. The managers are shy about max
ing contracts and the outlook for the
actors grows more and more solemn
every day"
A burst Of laughter from a nelghbor-
ing group seemed to belle his words. It
was as merry and good-natured a crowd
as could be found anywhere in town,
despite the gloomy outlook for it's
members.

M Notes.

One of the products of Vermont is spruce

1900 pounds.
Nearly 10000 American cattle were last year
thrown from Atlantic steamships into the
ocean on account of exhaustion or injury.
California race horses have made their best
time athome, and have not equaledit when taken
to the eastern turf. The San Francisco Chroni-
Gle, therefore, concludes that the climate il as
we'll adapted to the best development of the
thoroughbred horse as that Of Arabia or Bar
barry, and much better than that of England,
Ireland, or any of the Atlantic states.
That much OF our waste land may be profit
ably used is shown by Mr.. Joseph Harris in his
catalogue, who states that celery and cauli-
dover need very rich land and plenty of water,
and, therefore, some of our rich swamps, with
q stream of water through them, might be
easily convertedinto a favorable place for these
two vegetables. Celery can be set out as late
as the LIST of August.
Don't work the horses a whole day without
water. Some in a cask could easily be taken
along to the field for them.

beginning of the coming summer. I
would start up the second to hunt for
the first, say, about q year later.
After IN interval of a year more,
| would start up the third to
hunt for the other two, and bring
home buttons and other such relics OF
the crews as might be found. Every
year thereafter I would send up q fresh
balloon to hunt for the previous bal
looms and carry relief to the survivors
that IS gravestones and monuments
and so on, to be set up where the birds
and the comets might SEQ them from
time to time, and be reminded of the
brave deeds of the departed martyrs to
science. T1:is method, you see, is sys-
tematic; the very thing which all previ-
GUS efforts of this kind have lacked was
system. We have always waited till
we knew an expedition was lost before
we sent out another to hunt for it;
whereas, since we knew it would get
lost, the right and only wise course
would have been to send out a process
sion of expeditions at brief and
regular intervals, so that they
could begin to hunt for each other
without disastrous delays. Many
spoons and jack knives and other valu-
able relics have been irretrievably lost
to science because the search eXpedi-
lions waited so long that these things
got showed up meantime, or were cap
tured by the natives and bartered off
for blubber. Now, under my system,
nothing of the kind will happen. The
balloons will follow each other at short
and measured intervals, and the work
of hunting for each other, and grave.
stoning each other and gathering uE
each others remains, will begin right
away, as you may say. And by keep
ing this sort Of thing up right along and
briskly there is not a question that
sroner or later one or another of these
balloons will find Hall-and collapse
into it, and stay there, too. And the
whole honor Of it will belong to this

oi,tnx Wagon wheels.

A well made wheel will endur constant wear
from ten to twenty-five years, if care is taken
to use the right kind and proper amount CT
grease, but if this matter is not attended to it
will be used up in five or six years. Lard
should never be used on a wagon, for it viii
penetrate the hub and work its way out around
the lemons of the spokes and wheel. Tallow is
the best lubricator for wooden axle trees and
castor oil for hubs, but many Of the present
axle greases are also excellent, and have the
merit of being cheaper and easier to handle.
just grease enough should be applied to the
spindle of a wagon to give it a slight coating.
This is better than more, for the surplus put
on will work out at the ends and be forced by
the shoulder bands and nut washer into the
hub around the ontside of the boxes. To oil
an iron axle tree, first wipe the spindle clean
with a piece of cloth wet with spirits ofturpen-
tine, and then apply a few drops of castor oil
near the shoulder and end One teaspoonful
is sufficient for the w~hole.-Farming World.

Summer Dresses.

Pretty Summer Dresses are sent to the wash
tub with reluctance; nobody knows how they
will come out of it. First the laundress must
be cautioned not to hang them in the sun to dry,
Or all your precautions will be in vain, and
they must be hung up wrong side out, like all
other wearing apparel, 30 that passing dust
will not stick to the outer surface. Since soap
ruins some delicate colors have the summer
dresses washed with boray. This helps to re-
move soil and stains without removing the colt
or also; it should be added to the water in the
proportion of q tablespoonful to a gallon of
water; Powdered boraS may be purchased at
any drug store; it should be dissolved in very
hot water, For very delicate colors it is well
to dissolve a tablespoonful of alum in enough
lukewarm water to wet the dress thoroughly;
rinse it up and down several times, then rub
it gently in warm, not hot, suds; rinse thor
oushly in cold water into which you have put a
handful Of salt; iron, if possible, before
it becomes dry; but if it should dry moro
speedily than you expect, iron it under a damp
cloth. Many of the fashionable fabrics now
used are intended to be rough-dried and sim
ply pulled straight. Never nse very hot starch
in colored dresses.-Phildelphia Ledger.
