the great loss in my family. 1 spoke to him
about my business, and he at once directed
matters so that it would be attended to without
delay. The Secretary then said to me that it
was through my direction that Mr.. Lincoln and
himself had been able to thwart the late con-
spirators in many of their diabolical schemes
during the war. and that they failed only in
one, that of preventing the murder of the Presi-
dent.
In speaking of this sad calamity the great
tears s. I'd in his eyes. But said he my dear
friend Lyon, we now standing upon the
verge of volcano, and this time, if the schemes
of the conspirators can be carried out, we will
be in more danger than ever; and we who have
just put this great rebellion down will be
compelled to play the part Of rebels ourselves
In the next great drama
81 was almost struck dumb by this announce
ment, and thought the Secretary was perhaps
unnecessarily alarmed at some minor matter.
He rang his bell for a messenger and sent him
across the street for the General of the Army.
He soon came in, and after pleasant greetings
we all retired to the Secretary's private room.
There the Secretary was about to make me &C
quaintcd with this whole matter, when the
General said to the Secretary that he desired
his Chief of Staff to be present. He was sent
for, and soon entered. / was put under pledge
of secrecy, and then the whole scheme was re-
vealed to me as have given it to you. except
that 1T was given to me more in detail. The
name of their secret informant was given and
l was then truly surprised and could no longer
doubt the facts as to the conspiracy for the
second rebellion. The man that had unfolded
the scheme to the Secretary o. War and the
General of the Army was man of reputation
in a marked degree; had held high position
In the Confederate service, but had had enough
Of war, and also respected his parole to the
General of our Army.

-Sponging the head frequently with
sage tea will prevent the hair falling

them.--IToy Times.
On taking boiled eggs from the ket-
tie, chip the shells on the ends to let the

frequently from one field to the other,
than to allow them to roam over large

--On every farm more or less apple
seeds will be scattered in seasons when
apples are plenty and come up in out
of-the-way places. These trees should
be saved and top grated when of su1ta-

"A Maine farmer had tree which
gave very large crop of very small
apples. He thinned the small branches
from the outside, taking more than
half, and thinning the fruit The apples
became larger and better, and gave as
many bushels as before.
Turkey soup: Break up all the bones
of one turkey; add one pint of soaked
split peas, and three quarts of water.
Put it on early in the morning; add a
little celery and salt for favoring. Sea-
son with pepper andsalt, and boil slow
" until noon. Strain Boston Globe.
The following recipe for salve for

ounces of rosin, and one gill of sweet lin
seed oil.-ForeSt. Field and Farm.
Head-cheese: Take hogs head,
ears and feet and clean thoroughly;
boil them until You can pick all the
bones out; chop the meat, add cup of
vinegar, a little salt and pepper, and
pack inla pan or cheese hoop; when cool
it is ready for use. 1t is very nice
served in slices cold for the tea-table,
or fried for breakfast. Boston Batdget.
Cream sponge cake: Four eggs,

FOREST TREES.

Better 20 Plant the Seed Where the Trees
Are to Grow Than to Transplant Trees of
Amy Considerable Size.
George May Powell, Chairman of the
American Institute Forest Committee,
says relative to planting forest trees:
''The joachim and the Boaz of our
work has been, First: To show that as
it requires less time and labor to put
scores of tree seeds in the ground than
to transplant even small tree, the
great way to increase trees, is to plant
the seeds where the trees to grow from
them are permanently to stand. Often
seed planted beside a three-year old
transplant will be ahead of the latter
in ten years thereafter. The undis-
turbed Seeding will be more vigorous
and valuable tree, and of far greater
longevity than the transplant. Little
seedlings only a few inches high and
a few months old are the best for trans
planting when transplanting takes the
place of seeding, as above suggested.
Thus on rainy day in early autumn
dozens of these 'forest babies" can be
set out in an hour. A half hour each
would be needed to transplant trees
with trunks an inch in diameter. No
more skill is needed than to transplant
a cabbage, and it is far more likely to
live, than its big brother. It will like
wise soon outgrow the big brother,
even though the latter manages to live.
A good way for child to combine both
ideas would be to plant one or two tree
seeds, by simply pressing them in soil
when they fall from the trees, each IN
a separate pot. Set the pots in the
ground where there will be plenty of
moisture, and when the baby is q few
months old, set it, with all the earth in
the pot, where the tree is to remain.
MIR. Powell has personally and prac-
tically put these ideas in operation in
Asia and in Africa. He has also
pushed them with his pen and on the
platform in America. He says:
% Second-Our committee have been
very particular to show infinitely and
specifically that forest planting and
preserving will pay the individual in
his day and generation. Long before
any movable, salable product will
come from trees planted, they will add
many times their cost, by increasing
the cash value of property, in either
town or country in SO identifying it,
that it will sell for more money.
Further, many rural property may
have thousand trees along the roads
and fences in double rows. II they
are nut and sugar bearing trees they
NAV soon net more than as many
sheep a and with far less care and ex-
pense. We know of a chestnut tree in
Delaware County, Pa, seed planted in
1910, the sales from the nuts OF which
have amounted to hundreds of dollars.
The nuts from a hickory tree on the
same property were also about as
profitable as the chestnut. For beauty
and sugar plant the hard maple-Acer
iSacchGTiu1m (not soft maple); for
ornament or honey, the Eastwood
TI1iG An1ertcG750."
Mr. Powell thinks autumn is bet
ter time of the year than spring, for
Arbor Day. Public AdrocGte.

A Ruling Passion strong in Old Age.
Boston Beacon.1


The Comtesse de Castiglione, the most
beautiful woman of her day, and whose
Forthcoming memoirs promise the world a
sensation, has shared with others of her
sex profound passion for diamonds. She
wears them now, when youth and beauty
are long since passed, covering her dresses
with them, fastening them in her hair, on
her shoes, and even wearing them around
her ankles. This latter place, however,
must be vastly unbecoming, but the eccen-
tric Countess has reached an age when she
cares more for precious gems than for the
symmetry of her extremities and the fash
ions of the day. If the gold and be-
gemmed anklets of Eastern houris would
look well on Western beauties, they would
have been adopted long ago. Fashion and
Partisan jewellers gave us bangles, but
they have not yet ventured to introduce
the barbaric anklets so wilful woman shall
cry for them.
St. Landry democrat., 1885-06-13


Another paragraph from their report:
ga fortnight had passed when she mod
estly limited desire to know how much
her services were worth. 'Oh, my DEAR he
replied, you are getting to be one of the
most valuable hands in the trade; you will
always get the very best price. Ten dollars
week you will be able to earn very east
ly.' And the girls fingers flew on with her
work at marvellous rate. The picture of
ten dollars week had almost turned her
head. A few nights later, while crossing
the ferry, she overheard the name of her
employer in Che conversation of girls who
stood near: What, John Snipess Why,
he don't pay. Look out for him every time.
He'll keep you on trial, as he calls it, for
weeks, and then he'll let you go and get
some other fool And thus Jane Smith
gained her warning against the swindler.
But the Union held him in the tolls of the
law until he paid the worth of each of those
days of trial. ,"
Another paragraph: "Her modification
may be imagined when told that one of the
two fiye-dollar bills which she had just re-
ceived for her work was counterfeit. But
her modification was swallowed up in in
dignation when her employer denied hav-
ing paid her the money and insultingly
asked her to prove it," When the Protect
i've Union had placed this matter in the
courts the Judge said: 'You will pay
Eleanor the amount of her claim, $3.50,
and also the costs of the court.
