From the appearance of the body it is supposed that the shot was Bred about two hours before tbe bell boy entered the room The deceased, as far as is known, had given no intimation of his purpose to end his life and no note was round to explain the motives that led to the act, it is un derstood, however, that he had lost a large sum of money recently in stocks.

Take nine parts of eggs and one part of good oil lard. IS Biispicious of the health of any of the eggs give them the benefit of the doubt and pnt them in with the rest. Then turn into a skillet which has previously held fried mackerel, and scramble them with a potato-masher. Fry until tough or thoroughly impregnated with tho fish-oil and lard; add a little of the uncooked eggs which remain in the pan to give them a fresh appearance; set in a place to cool, and then serve. Steak. Catch a bull and cut off a piece so near his horns that you can smell powder. Found in the morning before people are out of bed; hang it up in the sun to get tender, and fry for sup per. Re-fry for breakfast. Fry again for supper, and so on ml lib., tintil the steak gets discouraged.

The cholera, which has made such havoc during the past twelve months, both among the Anglo Indian troops and their opponents, is an object of superstitions terror throughout the whole East. Many of the wilder tribes believe it to be a malignant spirit attaching itself to the steps of some man marked by lute lor that purpose, who carries destruction wherever he goes. while he himself is unhurt. This strange fancy which probably arises from the fact that the pestilence has more than once crossed Western Asia at a slow and measured rate, as if really attending the daily march of its supposed Dearer has naturally proved fatal to many a foreign traveler, in whom popu lar superstition had seen tho bringer of the curse. On one eooasion, however, the ready wit of a Russian explorer turn ed this peril to an actual safeguard. On reaching the first village beyond the Persian border, the inhabitants of which were nottmons as brigands, he boldly avowed himself as bringer of the cholera. ' bee, he cried, holding up a small flask, "the cholera spirit is in this Mask, and shall remain there so long as yon treat me well; but let one of you offend me in any way, and I will let it loose to sweep yon all from the face of the oarth. Tne terrified Persians fully believing his as sertion, tried to avert the threatened danger by Btudied courtesy, providing him with everything he required, and actually sending several of their number with him as an escort, whose extrava gant stories spread the terror of his name so effectually that he was treated with the greatest respect so long as he remain ed in the country.

His mon ument, which is of marble, is surmount ed by a beautiful cross, entwined with a carved vine in imitation of ivy. Prinoe John, as he was generally called, it ia well-known, made a tour of Europe in 1866, and died while on his voyage home ward. At the time of his decease he was in the fifty-sixth year of his age. As a political speaker he had no superior per haps in this country, as many yet living can testify who heard his eloquent ad dresses in the Presidential campaign of 1848. His talents, it is well known, were of the very highest order. As an advo cate he had few equals in the State. The versatility of his powers, his keen irony, his brilliant, ready and often caustic wit, his unfailing good humor, bis perfect self -possession, his remarkable quickness of perception, and his extensive and in timate acquaintance ' with established legal principles, rendered him a formid able advocate at the circuit. As might be expected he was a skillful cross-examines of witnesses, and a cor rupt or unwilling witness had much to fear when subjected to the ordeal of a cross-examination by Mr. Van Buren. A cause of mneh importance was pending in one of the Circuit Courts of this State about a quarter of a century ago, at the trial of which I was present. On that occasion Mr. Van Buren exhibited much skill in his cross examination of the wit nesses, and in his treatment of their tes timony before the jury. The leading counsel opposed was that giant of the bar, Joshua A. Spencer, who was then in the zenith of his fame; a man of a very dignified presence and the most courteous manners, and an advocate of the most commanding and persuasive eloquence. The plaintiff had instituted legal proceeding to be placed in the possession of certain lands, claiming title under a deed which the defendant al leged was fraudulently obtained from the grantor named in the conveyance. Mr. Van Buren wa3 counsel for the de fendant. A witness by the name of Machin, called by Mr. Spencer, the plaintiffs counsel, m de certain state ments which, if believed by the jury, would be fatal to the defense. The jury, however, disagreed. At the sub sequent trial, Machin, who had been cross-examined with great rigor by Mr. Van Buren on the first trial of the cause, did not make his appearance; but a man by the name of Simpser was called to supply his place. The new witness was severely handled by Mr. Van Buren, and during his cross-examination, which was extended to a very great length, he drank water both frequently and copiously. Prince John disposed of the new witness in this brief and ad riot way in his address to the jury: "You have all, gentlemen, doubtless heard the for mer trial of this cause ; and all whom have heard of that trial have heard of Machin ; and all whom have heard of Machin have heard of his sufferings, death and burial on that occasion ; and now from the grave of Machin has sud denly sprung the witness Simpser, and heaven knows there never was a plant that needed so much training and waci'iiie. ' The effect of these words was wonder ful. No words certainly could have been more adrioitly spoken, or could have been more effectual in awakening suspi cion, in the minds of the jurors, of the integrity both of plaintiff and witness. I here give no opinion as to the merits of -the cause or the integrity of the witness; and have merely stated facta as they occurred, j It was my purpose mainly in this arti cle to furnish some reminiscences of tho three distinguished lawyers whose graves in the Rural Cemetery I had recently visited ; and having done this I must bring it to a close. It is possible that in what I have written I have fallen into some anachronisms and errors of opinion ; but I have aimed to be correct in my statements and faithful in the character ization of men whose commanding tulents excited my - admiration ; and to whose memories, now that they are no more, I would pay that tribute of rcsect ever due to those who leave behind them an honorable record, and achieve for them selves an enviable fame. But, after all; how little is known by mankind generally of the able juriscon sult, now no more, who even less than half a century ago swayed the minds of learned judges on the liench by the force of his reasonings and tho vostness of his legal erudition 1 The scanty memorials of his genius and learning are now only to be found in the volumes of reported cases to which few but the members of the legal profession have access ; and how little also, after the lapse of the same number of years, is remembered of the great advocate who had entertained admiring audiences assembled in our temples of justiee, with the sallies of his wit and the flashes of his genius, and had held jurors spell-bound by the magic of his eloquence I It is a sad reflection that, after the night dews of even only a quar ter ot a century shall have rested upon his head, "his sayings and doings," with perhaps a few distinguished exceptions, wilt linger ctuetiy in the minds of men as "traditions of a past feneration. But how fleeting and insubstantial is all earthly lame s . Cider-Baking. This is the feason of the year in which the farmer who baa a bearing apple orchard can easily have new cider on his table, and may experiment with keeping a few barrels of pnre sweet cider through the winter. It used to be said that cider made in Oregon could not be kept for any length of time, but this haa often been disproved by our best cider-makers. The apples grown on our mountains or foothills make cider which will keep as long aa any in the world. With proper care in the manufacture, and choosing the variety of apple a good quality of cider can be made in all parts of the State. . As for varieties, it must be remember ed that our range of climates is so great that the kind of apple which a good cider maker would choose in one section, might be rejected in an adjoining county. The Baldwin, wherever it grows well and is free from black specks on the skin, is one of the best of cider apples. Along the foothills and on the mountain farms we can mention no better apple, though the Smith's Cider and IVinesap are of find quality. Most persons appear to prefer a cider made from a red apple. A rather bard apple, of good and sprightly flavor, is to be chosen. Good cider can only be made by the use of clean and sound fruit, such as would be taken to market, though it need not be quite as large. Fruit when gath , ered from the tree is dusty, and if it has been lying in piles on the ground or in boxes, it is apt not only to be dusty, but also sticky from the few which have de cayed. We have seen apples which were too much soiled and bruised to be taken comfortably into the hands, and yet were ground up into cidtr. In one memorable case we know of, a drove of hogs had, for several weeks, been in the orchard, rooting over and trampling the piles of small apples, when it was concluded to make a few barrels of cider, and the apples were used for that purpose, with out being wiped or washed, some went in the press being partly decayed. The first rule for the manufacture of good cider must therefore be to thoroughly as sort and cleanse the apples. Let a boy wipe the apples with a dry cloth before thev are irround up. The old method of using straw in pack ing the cider-press, is giving place to the use of hair-cloth or gunny. A sieve of hair-cloth (not wire) , should be placed over a bucket set beneath the edge of ths press, so that the small bits of apple will not be left behind. Let the new cider stand a day in an open vessel and. the pomace will rise to the top, when the cider must be drawn off through a small spigot placed a couple of inches from ths bottom, and put into clean sweet barrets. As soon as white bubbles rise to the top, rack it off again, and this process should be repeated three or four times. Then till the barrel nn wita cider of the same character, add a tumblerful oftwarm sweet oil and bung it up tight. 'Hall a pound or glucoso, or somewhat less ot white sugar, may be added at this stage of the progress. The usual way of preparing clean bar rels for the reception of cider has been to burn rags dipped in sulphur inside of the barrel, covering the bunghole so as to retain the vapors, and then putting half a pound of mustard seed tied in muslin, together with a ouorter of a pound of dissolved isinglass, into the barrel before it is filled up with cider. This has been found to keep cider in good condition for a long time. Professional cider-makers in the Eastern States now use calcium sul phite (sulphite of lime) instead of mus tard, and the sulphur vapor. They add from one-eighth to one-fourth of an ounce of the sulphite to each- gallon of cider, and this preserves its sweetness perfectly, bnt the proportions mentioned must not be exceeded. After the cider has stood several davs it may be drawn off and bottled. Sulphite of lime costs about fifty cents per pound. It is a different article from sulphate of lime, and the two must not be confused. When sweet ci ler is bottled a little cinnamon "or sassafras bark and a drachni of bicarbon ate of soda may be ailded. This makes cider effervesce, "Gut care must ba taken not to use too much of the bicarbonate of soda. HOUSE A.D FARM. Breath.

It is high time that house plants that have been kept out of doors during the summer be protected Irom the chill evening air, All tender plants, as begonias, the ten der cacti, mesembry-anthemums, pepero mias, ' colla, epiplullum and ail those classes of plants, should not become chilled at night. Geraniums, ageratums, lantanus. fuchsias and all that class will uot injure short of actual frost, but care should be taken that no plant intended for the house should lie exposed to strong winds, vv hen the weather is blustering, it is better that they be re moved indoors, putting them out again upon the recurrence of line weather. Avoid, above all. to allow them to be drenched by cold, chilling rams, w hat- ever the temperature of the room durinsr the day, it should not fall below 42 de grees at night, nor should the night tem perature really go much below oo de crees. One of the very worst things for plants is to allow a direct draft or cold air to strike them rrom the outside Change the air of the room by allowing it to enter through another apartment. Do not water except when the plants need it. This mav soon be estimated pretty correctlv by the siz9 of the pots and the nature of the plants. Porous leaved plants : require more water than firm leaved ones. All the cacti tribe reauire but little water in winter The smaller the pot the oftener it will re quire water. It is better that the plants sometimes show signs of drooping than to keep them drenched. If the soil is kept full of water, the plants are sure to sicken, for this is one of the reasons that water should never be kept in saucers under the pots, except in minute quan tity, and not so deep as to reach the earth in the pots. The soil will absorb too much by capillary attraction, anu the very act of this absorption and evapora tion will keep the soil cold, and it will become ultimately sour. One of the greatest disabilities to house plants is the dust from the building of fires, the constant passing to and fro, and especially from sweeping. If you have a bay window, the plants may easily be protected from dust at such times by means of curtains, to be drawn. If not. a curtain or cloth should be used for covering. This with an occasional sponging with tepid water as to the firm and smooth-leaved plants, and the rising of soft and downv ones, with an occa sional showering with a fine rose pot or plant syrinrc Tonld keep them in good condition.

Ten Great Gal. At the age of sixteen, before we had discarded our "roundabouts." we had contracted to "keep school" in District Number Five, for 812 per' month and "boarding round." We knew very well the little red school house, standing at the exact center of the district, on the borders of a miarhtv mmn tha f.rm houses scattered about the hills, and we also knew the nuisance of that particular school, a squad of half a dozen rough fellows who had emerged into "tail coats," and woidd hardly relish the dis cipline of a boy-pedagogue in a roundabout. After the first flush of olnlinn of election, the reflection came back, like a return nave oi ice water, that in ail human probability, ere our seventeenth birthday should dawn, we should ha vanishing head foremost out of the school house window into a snow drift, propelled bv class Number One of the big boys. In our anxiety we applied to Aunt Anna, the general oracle of the household. Aunt Anna was a stalwart maiden of sixty summers, gigantic in proportions, but every inch a lady in her dear old heart. She had nursed half the children in town through niea- seis, mumps ana chicken-pox, and was the mainstay in all family emergencies. There were sly rumors that the occa sional attacks of "fidgets" which over came the Rood old ladv at nicrht had some relation to a mysterious black bot tle which Bhe always carried in ker work box; but Aunt Anna, plus the "fidgets," was worth a regiment of feminines for the home-made uses of country life. "Well, now, you are r. ally going to keep school in District Number Five," said Aunt Anna, smoothing down her big checked apron, and raising her spec tacles for a good, long look at the in cipient pedagogue, seated at the oppo site corner oi me nrepiace. - "lea, Aunt Anna, I have promised (o keep school, bnt between vou and me. I am dreadfully afraid to tackle that crowd of boys. Yon know what a rough set they are, and one of them has already 'given out' that there will be no board wanted in District Number Five after, the first week." "That's a serious matter. Now, let's see if we can't think of something to help you. Now, you see, I don't know anything about book laramV No doubt you can cipher that back seat of boys into the middle of next week. But they can fling you over the roof of the schoof house in a jiffy if they have a mind to. I know every family in the district. I have nussed in every house, and taken the measure of every youngster that will come to that school. There's one thing in your favor. There'll be ten great gals in that school, and most of 'em are good gals, too. Now, some are a head taller than you, and two or three of them are right handsome, too. They can twist that crowd of great, bashful boys round their little fingers if they want to. Now, mind what I tell you ; do you go right to work and gain the affections of them ten great gals, and they'll manage the great boys while you keep school." That sounded well; and armed with this panacea against rebellion, we opened school the Monday after Thanksgiving. It was a rough looking set up on the high seats that row of villainous-lo.)k-ing fellows, and one of them big enough to throw me over into the big swamp with one hand'. Happily our first lwarding place was with two of the "great gals." Never did we "lay ourselves out" to gain the good graces of tho lovely sex as during the first week of that Jessie Bejttox Fbemoxt.

I cannot, of course, begin to tell yon all I said to them, but the thirty-two history talks 1 gave my Arizona flock of scholars each Friday of the term after I joined them were a panorama of history as my father had taught me to know it. as I had realized it in many a spot of classic ground in Europe, as reading had en nched it with personal belongings and lights, and as I had seen it made both in France and in our own great trial time. For this, when they would thank ine, I would tell them to thank my father. I acquired last winter a practical insight into the vast and spreading influence of the spoken word on receptive and will ing young minds.

Some how it crushed us, and for a minute tbe school-room swam round, and the idea of seizing our fur cap and making for home flitted across our vision. , Just then tho -patter of a light footstep was heard down the tongslope or the narrow aisle leading up to the seat of the. "ten great gals. The tallest glided down, ostensibly to ak the explanation of a hard sum; but as we leaned over the slate, with a dimness in the eyes, we heard a whisper in our. ears: Don't be cast down! We girls will shame that seat of boys into good man ners before another week." A light broke in; we were gaining the affections of the ten great gals." . So things drifted for six weeks, when dawned the judgment day. We had gone to board with a good, motherly wo man, who loves us as her own son. A big fire in the parlor greeted our arrival, and a supper fit for the parson himself. After tea our hostess appeared in her best black silk, and in ber hand a mighty black "ruler," and sat down before ns with the air of a Minerva. "Now matters have come to a point in your school; you have been trying to govern that crowd of vascaUy boys by love, but that has come to an end. To morrow they'll try to put you out. Take this ruler, and don't come home to-morrow night unless vou have used it up over the head and shoulders of some body." There was no appeal from that. A greater than the whole class of "great gals" had spoken, and we leu in oi r soul that fate was standing at the so ho 1 honse door. Were we endowed with the epic rage tf a Homer or a Tope, we might jwssi bly depict the scenes of the coming day. How the -ugliest loater, in a irock coat, kicked in the door at recess; how, when the trembling voung master asked "who did that? the big boor lilted his thumb to his nose and executed that significant gyration with the little hnger which would make a savage of St. John him- self; how, fired with the oourage of des- pair, and a vision or our farm -house Minerva, we seized the big oaken ruler, rushed up the inclined plane, upsetting several small children, on the insolent scoundrel, tore the collar off his frock coat, snaked him. down the area before the fire-place, and beat him over the head and shoulders till be roared for may be eaten either hot or cold, and any flavor mar be substituted for that of lemon-peel.: In a family residing not a great dis tance from South Boston is a certain smart little boy of three years of age, who thinks a great deal, as all good lit tle boys do, of his little baby sister.
