27. A new volume by Mr. Longfellow is sure of a kindly welcome from the English reader, who will be glad to see that the author of "Evangeline" has not again been playing truant in the translation of an Italian classic, or in a metrical adaptation of the New Testament, but has returned to the true bent of his genius and has given us another series of "Tales of a Wav- siaeinn" and Birds of Passage." In these days, also, when a confusion of tongues, such a hindered 1 Tir of Babel seems to have fallen upon the writers of poetry, each having a jargon of his own and resembling that of his neighbor in nothing but mat it is unintelligible, it is a relief to be remined that there are still posts left who do as Shakespeare, Milton, Dryden, Poe, Byron and ordswortli did before them, and honestly endeavor to turn plain thought into plain English. We look upon the sustained popularity of Mr. Longfellow and Tennyson as a standing protest against the labored obscurity of a real xet like Mr.

Browning and till more against the pretensions of certain writers whose pens have for some years past purling in a round of mutual adulation. Mr. Longfellow will win himself ro new renown by this latest book; but he will again please the readers of the two worlds, and we may safelv congratuiate his English publisliefs on the wide popularity Aftermath deserves and is certain to achieve. Ifthe poet has not equaled his best efforts of former years, lie has given us a volume of various and pleasant tre, wmcn maintains throughout a level of quiet excellence. Mr.

Longfellow is not a poet of the first order. His lines do not march the page in splendid strength, aud his thought is not remarkable for its depth and originality. But his verse is clear as crystal and sweet with a muic all its mi Knows now to cnoose a theme and make it interesting: his ml ma is rennetl, (scholarly and modest, and above all, he has the golden heart oi poet a heart the tenderness, the sympathies, the joys and sorrows of which the world has long loved to share, lie has published poetry which was hardly poetry at all; but in this volume he returns to himself. and from his pen there flows that winsome music touehed with melancholy which we know so well in his former works. In England, as well a in America, he stands next in popularity to oar own laureate.

His verse has one essential and feunrcme-i it'-i ii.i. i tit Liituav.iiiv. uuc jj 1 1 1 1 i un derstood by the people, and the Ik-sI of it can charm alike a uhiiosopher and a sempstress. Tie if Fi-Ie He Kqnrc(d I land ilh Can. tier I From the S-rantou (Pa.) lenicrat.

He is a regular lad v-killer-in his estimation. A few ve-arsago he won the heart and hand of an intelligent girl from a neighboring town; but he cannot resist the fascinations of his old ways among the opposite sex, and he never lets an opportunity -lip of making himself agreeable to them, and ingraciating himself into their confidence as far as possible. "Last week his wife was visited by an acquaintance of her girlhood, from the country a smart fresh -looking danisei, but not over scrupulous about her conduct rather lose in her ways, showing poor bringing-up.

During her visit here Mr. wife and their visitor took occasion to run to Nicholson for a fday of pleasure, which passed off to the apparent en joyment of all concerned. "But it was on the return trip that the fun commenced for the wif. The three passengers occupied two seats in the car, opened opposite to' each other, the husband and a few articles of baggage on one seat, and the ladies facing him. Laughter, merriment aod jokes, i events of the day, were freely indulg- ed in, and everything was going on i swimmingly, until at length Mrs.

L. thought she caught a glimps, in the! dark corner of the car, of her bus-i band's band reaching that of her companion, which lay partly conceal- ed under her shawl.

One ap plication generally suffices; sometimes another is required, washing thoroughly afterwards. Tomato Soup Take six large tomatoes, boil in one pint of water until done; then take them off the stove and stir in one tea-spoonful of salera-tus. Then add one quart of milk, and season with plenty of butter, pepper, and salt.

Det all come to a boil, when it is ready for use. We think it the next thing to oyster soup. Trv it. To Keep Onions The best way of keeping onions for family use is the old-fashioned one of stringing them. Gather them without breaking off the tops.

Take up three or four and string through the tops, and tie a string around them to secure them firmly. Add more onions, and tie until you have a string a foot or more in length. Hang them in a dry place and they will keep any length length of time. Broiled Tomatoes Cut medium sized tomatoes in halves, and put them upon a gridiron, cut surface down. When the surface appears to be somewhat cooked, turn them down, and finish the cooking with the skin toward the fire.

The cook ing should be gradual, so as not to break the skin. Place on a dish, at put a little salt and a lump of but upon each half and serve hot. To Clean Kid Gloves Place fine towel folded, on the table, or which lay your glove; take a piece of flannel. and with the lorehnger dip it lightly into milk, then rub it about twice on a piece ot common brown soap; ceed to rub the glove, commencing with the thumb, and as the flannel lip becomes tlirtv change it till no dirt comes off the glove. After cleaning the front and back of the finger, and lay it down flat, this time to clean the sides, otherwise you would find a streak of dirt when the glove is dry.

After the fingers, clean the palm and back, taking care no will apitcar. hen me 'ove js ury pull it out, and a white clean glove will be the result, ioo much soap simeiis ine giove; io' muvii mils is equally objectionable. A Resultorthc TronUlo One of the most interesting features of the nnancial trouble its enVct upon real estate, especially upon small lots suitable for the erection of small homes. The indications are that property of this kind will be in greater demand nerealter by persons who prefer to invest their moderate savings in that way rather than to de posit in savings and other interest paying banks. 1 hat such a course is a highly desirable one, not only for investors themselves, but also for the cities where such investments are made, it does not require lengthy argument to demonstrate.

The price of real estate not the speculative or fancy prices, of course demonstrate that it is the one thing which the most regularly and statedly advances in value from year to year in a renu-inerative ratio. And, then, the man who buys a lot and builds himself a house, nearly always becomes a permanent citizen of the place where he thus locates. The fact that thousands upon thousands of the citizens of Chicago owned their own little home-places was really one of the foundation facts upon which the assurance that that city would recover from the great fire of 1S7I was built, and the result has fulfilled the calculation. Nor will such a plan of investment have any bad effect upon the money markets, for while the money thus invested will not, it is true, be in the hands of savings banks managers for loaning purposes, it will, nevertheless, go into the hands of those now holding large tracts of land capable of being divided into building lots, and will pass thereon into general circulation, and become available for trade purposes; more so than when deposited in savings banks. Thus, in this direction, aa well r.s in oth.er aiotJfrmr' purpose now to mention, we think we see clearly most desirable results which are to grow out of the financial disturbances of the fall of 1873.

After a great fire, or ve.n hHe it is yet raging, ways and weani are generally devised to improve the fire system so ti, the crisis fwing in in last days, are our daily journals vicing with each other to recommend the best means to pr'event a repetition of lire late events.

The immense export of produce, as well as the gold coming tu us from England la large quantities, as well as the return of which we have no cause to fear are two powerful factors to favor the resumption of cash payment. Besides, the demand is everywhere felt for safe and sure ban ki tig, together with a pajer circulation to be increased according to the necessities of commerce the two great levers to guaranty a radical cure for our situation.

By accepting paper money we have left out of sight all cash payment, and are too ready to admit the volume of our circulation not to be too large for the wants of our daily growing commerce. On the other hand, we wish to see our paper money insured at a certain percentage to obtain -jcie, and then again return the same specie for circulation. At all events much will be obtained if we rf cognize the necessity for a return the normal valuta. The principal question then will be, how to bring about this so much desired resumption.

Here we are satistieu is tne cause of many of tne railures in the West. Where cows are obliged to drink out of ponds or holes stagnating under our sometimes tropical Summer suns, success can never be expect rd. Late experiments. East, have amply proved this. it has also been heretofore supposed that our hot and dry months of July and August, would be fatal to the success of this industry, but it has been found, in practice, that clover, Hungarian grass, sown corn, with the addition of a little corn meal daily, will cheaply and easily carry the stock over this season of short pasturage; and our usually abundant Spring and Fall pasturage will enable the manufactures to successfully compete with other regions, that have heretofore been supposed to be especially favored in this respect.

Experiments however, should be made with other lorage plants than those mentioned above. 1 here is no doubt but there are many that would become admirably adapted to Summer feeding, and in these days of improved machinery the cutting, loading, carrying and distribution of the feed might be cheaply carried out. The manufacture of first -rate cheese rests not only on the proper mechan-cal monipulation of the milk, curd and cheese, but, also, upon certain chemical action and transformations during the various processes of manufacture. The rennet employed must be of uniform ami accurately known strength. The temperature of the milk, first being properallv cooled, must be raised, after the addition- of the rennet to the precise temperature required for the transformation of the milk into curd.

Subsequently, and in the after stages of manufacture, the proper conditions must be carefully attended to. Above all the utmost cleanliness must be always present, from the milking of the cows to the packing of the cheese for market. This is what makes cheese, wherever made, grade as Hamburg and New York Factory. The dealer usually grades to suit himself after first try ing the cheese, unless in the case of well known Western dairies which have established for themselves a reputation second to none in the United States. In Europe, cheese hu for ages been used as one of the staples of humai food.

In the United States it is re-1 garded rather as a condiment, or to be eaten in small quantity rather than every day a- an article of sub-stantial fod. Cheese actually contains double the nutriment of the same number of pounds of beef. The price per pnand is usually about the same. Indeed, it seld that prime cuts of beef can le bought of the butcher so cheaply as cheese can of the grocer. Instead therefore nf being regarded as a luxury, it should, come to be an every-day addition to the fare of all cla-'s't's, but these who do bard labor, as containing, in a cheap and concentrated form the constituents of bnne, muscle and In.loo-1.

(Jet readv also the necessary materials for your buildings and erect them during the Winter, so that you may be prepared to commence opera tions oarly the spring.

Cheese is becoming each ear of moreand more importance as a article of export to loreign countries. There are bur few industries connected with Agriculture likely to become more remunerative in the future than the making of first-class cheese. It is futile, however, to undertake this work unless you have first, a favorable locality for its manufacture, and second, capital enough to make large and first-class cheese. Skilled labor you can hire. Having these, there is no good reason why the business should not be profitable.

A Wileli-IIaiinted FAmlly In Jersey. A revival nf the Salem witchcraft mania broke out in South Vineland, New Jersey, lately. The family that is specially bewitched is that of a Mr.Skelly, a Catholic Irishman, who has a small farm, house, wife and four children. The family proclaim themselves vexed and tormented be yond endurance by the witch. She conies and milks the cows, steals the chickens, drags the children some times three of them at once by the hair of the bead into the bushes near by, chokes them, threatens their lives, brandishes a large dirk-knife and pistol, raps on the house, "up stairs.

down-stairs, nnd in the ladies' chamber," and not unfrequently appears entirely naked; greatly to the alarm and annoyance of the whole family. The witch is a poor obi widow, aged about seventy-live, who lives nearly a third of a mile away, on the other side of the highway and the railroad also, alone, in a small black house. Her name is Larramar. She is a little strange and odd in her waj's; but by those who know her best she is esteemed an honest Christian woman. Mr.

Selley had the old lady arrested on the charge of assaulting his children and disturbing the peace in general at his house. At the trial it was found that no one could see her in her depreciations except Mr. Skelly's daughter, a girl twelve years old. The girl could see her just as easy, and sometimes stripped to the skin. She swore most positively that on a certain day, the old lady appeared early in the morning, ami was hanging around the premise- mot of the day.

In defense it was shown that on that day the so called witch was sick in the house of I jester Smith, and could not have been atsent in the flesh. Failing to protect himself and the family by law, Mr. Skelly procured a gun and undertook the work of self-defense. When the daughter points out the appearance of the witch in the bushes, he fires. He has discharged his gun again and again, but no foe has fallen.

Failing at last to find security inlaw, or protection in shot-guns, Mr. Skelly has considered discretion the better part of valor, and removed from town. Two Enterprising sought to find that eastern current that the Daily Graphic has been talking about so much lately. Instead of an easterly current, they found a westerly one and were soon several miles at sea. Their zeal in the cause of science came very near losing them their lives, and had it not been for a pass- ingsloop there would have boon none itrt to tell the tale.

heart to discover if nossibie any change for the better. Long and anxiously she watched. She heard not the clock in the steeple proclaim the hour of twelve. Her thought was fixed on one thins alone: her heart was lifted up in fervent prayer to the great giver of all good and perfect gifts for the restoration of that loved one who is seemingly on the verge of the grave. That strong and manly form which has so loner been the protection of those who are so very dear to him on his brow and in every feature can be traced the destroying enemy disease God grant that it may not do its fatal work.

With almost breathless stillness she watches his deep breathing. Hour after hour passing slowly by yet she wavers not; gently she bathes the burning brow and smooths the scarlet cheek. Soon she looks out into the darkness scarcely visible are the rays which proclaim the approaching morn. But the fever has abated now, the breathing has become more regular, the cheek less flushed aud while the sufferer quieliy sleeps, the watchers heart is rilled with joy as she thinks he may yet be spared to again join the family group.

Corn at 2.35 per Bushel. In the year 1871, I worked a 00-acre farm in Hamburgh, Erie county, N. ten miles from Buffalo. Among other things I raised 500 bushels of hard corn. That fall, corn was very cheap, a drug in the market in fact, as it always is and always will be, for it is not legitimately a marketable product.

However, i had the corn, and was somewhat nettled to know how to dispose of it. A neighbor sold his for C0 cents a bushel, said he lost money at that figure, and talked about selling out and leaving the country. This sounded bad to a young, inexperienced delegate, like me, but I began to figure. Finally, I concluded to change feeding it to poultry. I bought all the turkeys I could conveniently find, and paid for them 10 cents a pound, live weight.

I began to feed them, keepingaccnunt of the corn they ate, and of expense of marketing, A-e. and how do you suppose that speculation turned out? Why, those hump-backed, long-necked, double-jointed birds, paid two dol- arni -a nont- r-rr KitT-hol a Mrm wiiew, corn wan cm cent a bushel, and if I couldn't make money like chips by feeding it to poultry or larger stock, I would lay my little bundle down and mash my brains out with a rotten However, the farmers' movenieut is all right, and I am glad to see the uprising, but the trouble hinge on transportation of raw material it hinges on the thriving, grabbing spirit of the railroads generally. Why, in all my rambling, in this state, as well as Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois, I have not met one station agent in ten who is not a cousin or a nephew of some railroad superintendent, and I never expected to get a civil answer from one of these insolent creatures without first rubbing him down with a good stout cane. .4.

Oalruntler, jr, Im Crosse Wis. Vlit Ilefomes of lie ol Sue- Xext to the inquiry, What becomes ol the an interesting question would be what becomes of the sons of successful men? A few men and a few firms are in the hands of the founders; but these are exceptions. The old name and the old trade generally pass into the hands of others. "Do you see this manshoveling coal? Well, his children, and children like his, will justice your pampered sons and rule this land," said a Xew Yorker the other day. The old names have ceased in the pulpit.

The famed men of the bar seldom have a successor. The eminent jurists carry their honors with them to the grave. Merchant princes are obliterated. The reason is clear. The fathers laid the basis of business one way and the sons build another.

Men who have earned their fortunes hy hard work, diligences; that knew sixteen hours' toil by personal attention; that were their own bookkeepers, salesman, cashiers and often porters, are followed by sons who do as little as possible; and delegate to others all the work they can, and who know more of the road than the leader. Famous hotel men were gentlemen, men of intelligence, men who were the equals of the best in he landaiKl who never sunk the gentlemen in their trade. Young men who fling the example of their sires to the wind, find it easier to squander a valuable name, run through a fortune quicker than it was earned, and find themselves, while young, at a point from which their fathers started. One thing is quite marked in Xew York. It is the fact that the heavy business is getting into the hands of foreigners.

The heavy importers, the great bankers, and much of the trade of value is slipping out of the hands of Americans, as the trade of England got iuto power of the Lombards.

Mr. William E. Baxter, member of Parlament, in a speech at Dundee, this week urged increa ed intercourse with the United States Every public man he said should visit this country. Hendricks, the alderman of Houston, Texas, who offered to insure the raising of the quarantine between that city and Galveston, for a bribe of $2,000, has been expelled from the council, and is avoided by all his associates. Gov.

Woodson has issued a proclamation offering a reward of $2,000 for the arrest and delivery of Frank ami Jesse James, or $1,000 each, charged with robbing the Daviess county Savings Association, and murdering the cashier, John W. Sheets. The Ned Buntline troupe were reduced to a moneyless condition in Louisville lately, and are about disbanding. They tried to borrow money in New York, but it is said failed to do so. Members of the troupe are wandering about the city in a dejected manner.

The proposed pilgrimage of the American Catholics to Rome, the shrine of St. Philip ami St. James, and to the Lady Immaeulateat Lour- des, leads a writer in the 1- reeman's Journal to propose a journey to St. Augustine, Florada, as the cradle "of Catholicism in this country. There was great excitement Monday at the prairie fire threatening Lincoln, Nebraska.

It entered the south part of the city destroying two small building, considerable hay and grain. Hundreds of citizens turned out with water, mops, and brooms, wiped out fire, and saved the city. The receipts for the Missouri State interes. fund since October 1st have been alJout This taking into consideration of the particular stringency of money market, speaks very favorably for Missouri securities. It has made busy times for the force in the treasury otnee during the past week.

New Hampshire has a compulsory school law, requiring that every person having in custody a child, between eight aud iaurtueu yeat of age weeks in the year, of which shall be coneseutive. The law provides that the ehiUI may be instructed in a private school or at home. There is something amusing in the way the police authorities suppress gambling' When one city persecutes the disciples of faro, neighboring cities offer them asylums. Chicago takes a moral fit, raids the gambling dens, and the card shufflers make for St. Louis or Cincinnati.

After they have 'gone through' the supply of victims in these localities, they are remorselessly hunted down and driven back to Chicago, where fresh triumphs await them. Meanwhile, nobody is hurt but the poor tools who are "roped in" aud "whipsawed on the turn." Mrs. lrginia L. Minor, who was formerly President of the Missouri State Woman's Suffrage Association, and a leading spirit in the women's movement has not i heel tne Board ol Assessors of St. Louis county that she refuses to make to them a return of her property subject to taxation, on the ground that under the decision of the Supreme Court of this State, she, being afetntie covert, cannot own the mofiey wherewith to pay tne taxes thereon; and furthfr, because Ehe thinks that taxation, without repre- sentatirn, is th sum of all tyranny.

It will probably be remembered that the State of New ork, about a year ago offered the sum of to tne genius wnosnouiu uevisea saie anil effective method of employing steam on the Erie Canal. The com mission which is to award the glitter ing prize began its labors Wednesday and, if there is any ingenuity left in Yankee brains, the days ot tow-pains and broken-winded nags may now be considered numbered. It would cer tainly show a disgraceful barrenness inventive power if such a magnifi cent reward were unable to stimulate the many ingenious persons who have eir heads lull oi new inventions ior the benefit of civilization. One of the most important conven tions that ever assembled west of the Missouri, met in Denver, yesterday, Oct. 15th.

Its object Is to devise means to secure a thorough system of irrigation in several of the Western States and Territories; and, to this end is proposed that Congress be mem orialized to grant certain unsold lands and certain other privileges, so as to give the needed means to carry out successfully the project, which is somewhat similar in its features to that was adopted some years ago to the tast of us, for the reclamation of swamp lands. There are numerous prominent men already from the adjoining States and Territories who come as delegates to the convention, which gives promise of being largely attended. heese and Hiilter Fat-lories. The manufacture of cheese in systematically arranged dairies, where proper buildings are provided, and skilled labor is employed, has become one of the most remunerative industries, connected with Agriculture, of any in the. West.

There are some localities where cheese making may prove remunerative.but this need not be the cast? when the soil i natural to the cultivated grasses, and there is plenty of living water. These being assured, there is no reason why we should not manufacture fp good cheese as any country under the sun. In fact, we do, when the proper means are used to accomplish the end. Plenty of pure cold water and an abundance of feed, are of prime importance, for, just in to the abundance and rich quality of butler made.
