ant court information:
THEY Dlp NorusE Tlls DESPATCH.
Colonel Lamont and Mrs. Lamont, with
Mr.. i. X. Apgar, Mr.. Tracy, Of Albany,
ami A few others, made party to Mount
Vernon to-day. They did not go by the
.Despatch,n which was commonly used
by White House parties until tue change
administration but Travelled on the poat
which carries visitors to the tomb Oh
Washington all the year round.
When the Impartial historian" comes
to write the history Of this administration
he will pay little attention to the appoint
ment Of Higgins and pillsbury aud Chaee
and Metre and Blackburn and Morgan
and the rest Of them; he will waste no time
on Hendricks iourhundred llionsurplus
or Manning's reckless and swift dissipa-
ton ofall but twenty-iour millions thereof;
he will not tarry by the way to recount
the two.cents shortage in the Treasury,
afterwards discovered; he will not inaame
posterity with "reminiscences oftlre Demo-
cratic slogan 'sTurn the rascals' out" nor
tell how precious few rascals were todnd
who deserved to be turned out. All this
will be as though 1t never was.
The historian will merely turn over his
files of the ISrELLlGENCER and clip this re-
cital OF the JetIersonian simplicity ofthe
Democratic renaissance. It WILDE enough
TO say OF President Cleyelard's courtiers
that "they did not use the Despatch :"
This will convey the idea that when the
Presidents Private Secretary and few New
York friends desired TO visit the tomb Of
the Father Of his Country they did not
order out the navy nor load battalion Of
marines on the regular passenger boat.
From this suggestion the imaginative
mind Of the twentieth century will easily
picture an administration absotbsd in the
evolution Of policy Of retrenchment and
reform. The historian is going to find his
task more than half done for him. He
will show his genius by laying hold Of
such salient features as this, which tell oil
that need be told.

There is vast bed of rock salt in the Colo
rado Desert, near Idaho; and the Southern
Pacific railroad in laying the track to the salt
mine have been obliged to grade the road for
twelve hundred feet with blocks of these
beautiful humps of salt crystals. This is the
first instance of railroad bed being laid and
balasted on salt, of which we have any
knowledge. The sea that once rolled over
this place dried up, and left vast bed of salt
about fifty miles in length. The quality is
superb, and the supply inexhaustible.-

Keeping Fruit without Cans.

The Adpocate, Sharon, Mass, gives new
method OF keeping fruit. Professor Tyndal,
some years ago, demonstrated that all putre-
faction is caused by the bacteria in the air,
and could be prevented by shutting them out
with Gotten batting. DR.. Chase, OF Thomas
ton, Me-, suggested to Mrs Chase to try the
experiment with fruit. She put up several
gallons OF damson plums, in stone jars, COW
cred only with cotton batting. They kept
perfectly for years
DIR. Chase told the editor of the ddcocate,
who has tried it with perfect success for three
years, and now gives it to the world. These
are the directions Use crooks stone butter
jars, or any convenient dishes. Prepare and
cook the fruit precisely as for canning in glass
jars. Fill your dishes with fruit while il is
yet hot, and Immediately cover with unglaz.
ed cotton batting securely tied in. All putre
faction is caused by the invisible creatures in
the air. Cooking expels all these and, as
they cannot pass through the cotton, the
fruit is fully protected,

What Constitutes a Year.

We have the names OF our months from the
Romans, with whom we find our pres, mt cal
eudar evolved in the time of the Caesars. 1t
was found very difficult to adjust the measure
of years correctly. The first measure of Il
year was 10 unations which was a period
equal TO 354 days hours 4S minutes and 36
seconds. This was dropped for the time of
the suns passing through the signs of the
zodiac, which was 1865 days, 5 hours, 4S min
utes and 40 seconds. The solar year was
then fixed at 1866 days, and the odd hours
were dropped but as they could not be an
initiated and accumulating threatened 10
change the character of the season, A B. G.
julius Caesar made a REIMBURSEMENT vt matters.
Assuming the overpus of time to be six
hours daily he decreed that every year should
have 1855 days, except the fourth, which
should have 1865. The repeated day was to be
the 9th of February, the sixth day before
the kalends of March, and the year was there
fore calico bissextile. We call it leap year
because the insertion of an extra day makes
all following dates leap day. Julius Caesar
arranged the months and their days so that
every odd month, first, third, DC, should have
81 days, except February, which had 30 only
on bssextie year. He retained the names of
months as they were supposed to have been
originally given them by Numa Ponpilius,
except that he gave his own name to tie
seventh month. This arrangement of
months and days was changed by Augustus
Caesar, who, desiring to give his own name
to the eighth month, took day from Febru-
AIRY to give this 81 days, and then transposed
the number of days in the months following,
making November and September the short
er months instead of tho others. AS thus ar
arranged the months still remain. The very
convenient verse beginning Thirty days
hath September" might have been written by
Augustus Caesar himself, but it probably was
not. 1t was, however, no doubt in common
use long before the first record was made of it
in 1906

Fisherman's Luck.

In Scotland they have a curious way of
fishing that takes the medal for the ease and
repose with which it is conducted. The fish.
erman we will say is after pike. Selecting q
big goose from his barnyard, or half dozen
geese as the case may be, he ties baited
hook and line about five feet long to their feet,
and on reaching the water turns them in.
The birds, of course, swim out, and the fish
erman lights his pipe and sits down. In a few
minutes fish sees the bait and seizes it, CIV
ing the goose good pull. The bird Starts for
shore at full tilt, frightened half to death, drag
gng the fish upon the bank, where it is un-
hooked. The line being re-baied, the feath-
cred fisherman is again sent out to try its
luck. A flock of geese can make quite haul
in the course of the day, the human fisherman
having only to to take off the game and bait
the hooks, the pulling in and hooking being
done by the birds.

Every human being has mission to per-

BILE Importance. But how few are there who
come fully up to its standard and endeavor
by divine assistance to fulfil it. Man was
created for a noble purpose, endowed with
an immortal mind and is capable of perform.
ing good work Consider how great may
be the influence of single individual, either
for good or evil. If we have been influential
in reforming one, u being made in the image
of God, but sadly misled by the contaminat-
ing influence of vice, we have performed a
good work.
There are various ways in which good may
he accomplished, but when good resolution
is formed the work is too often begun with q
lack OF confidence and perseverance, and i'm.
patient TO accomplish the undertaking, we
despair at the first difficulty. This should
not be, but with more faith, the more distant
the day of reward, the harder we should labor,
and not let our arms become palsed because
we do not meet with immediate and large re-
suits of our labors but in time or eternity
we shall receive the reward
Much good may be done with the pen, and
how much good has been done in this way,
by which the influence of many still live
while they have long since gone TO their final
resting place. But we would not have you
vainly ambitious to render your name immor-
tai, thinking to make speck in the world
by figuring in The papers, or assume the i'm
poItapce of a fly that imagined itself turning
the wheel upon which it was only turned

to the glory of God and remember that "He
that converteth the sinner from the error of
his way shall save soul from death and hide
