"Why didn't you bring him home to seoyour mother, Charlie?" said 1. "Whv. I'd love him too, and anything I could do for him, for the man who saved my Iio.v'm life, couldn't be enough. Heud for him, Charlie." Hut Charlie shook his head and cov ered his face with his hands, "Mother," wiid he, "I don't know whether Hob Hadaway is alive or dead to-day.

And then I never saw the girl in such a taking. Down went Drusilla on her knees as if she was saying her prayers, and says she: "Thank God I dared to do it! " And says she again to me: "Oh! aunt, I've been trembling with fright, not knowing what you'd say to inc. I took him in the kitchen way. I couldn't we him go faint and hungry and wounded, uml I put him in the spare chamber over the parlor, and I'vo been frightened all tho while." "Lord bless you, Drusilla!" onid Charlie. "Amen," wild I. And she, getting bolder, went on: "And I took him up some hot Hhort cuke uud upple-HUHH ami tea," said she, "and 1 took him a caudle, and a hot brick for his feet, ami 1 told him to eat uud go to bed in the best chamber, Aunt Fairfax, with the white counterpane uml ull, ami I locked him in and put the key in my pocket, and told him that ho should have one night's rent, uml that no one should turn him out unless they walked over my dend hody."

Thren yearn ago tho Germany military party eomplulned of tho concentration of I'rench troops on tho eastern frontier, and endeavored lo nhow that Franco muh bent ontho immediate recovery of Alsace Lorraine. The controversy on UiIh Hub jeet, after having assumed a very alarm ing character, fortunately mibsiileil, Ger muny contenting herself with adding U tho Hctiurity of her newly ncijuirctl jirov iuces. In theso circumstances it is not I HiirpriMing that the French nre following tlio present military ojierutioim on the lthiue with great inlorest. According to tho rrif)li'tit FmncitlHii, tho Kith Ger- I man Army Corps, lying in Alsaeo-Lor- I raiuo, iscompoHcd of ll battalions of in fantry. 4S wjuadroiH of cavalry, eight I hatteneH of mounted artillery, hovoii batteries of foot artillery, one battalion of pioneers, mid one battalion of mili tary train. The other uriny corps urn composed of !25 battalions o infantry, 1 '!." MijuailioiiH of cavalry, II batteries of i mounted artillery, three batteries of horse artillery, two batteries of foot m ' tillery, one battalion of pioneers ami ono battalion of military tram. Jn infantry I and cavalry the Fifteenth is fur stronger I than the othe army corps, mid it is said I that its strength in lleld artillery will , shortly be rained. Alluding to the cav alry, thecoriespondent of the llrjnlilitr I FiiiuciiiKe, writing from Strasbourg, says: in the event ol a moiiilijition, the cavalry division of the Fifteenth Aimy , Corps'would furnish a regiment to each of thedivisiousof that army corps and would . become nil independent division six regi ! inunts strong. To sum up, tho Alsace Lorraine Army Corps contains three or , four regiments of cavalry more than tho majority of tho army corps in Germany. 1 his special organization is owing to Htrutegieal considerations, it being deemed indispensable in the neighbor hood of our eastern frontier nml the cav alry division of Luueville to have a large number of squadrons." It must bo re membered that the French, in addition to their nineteen army corps, have half a dozen independent cavalry divisions, three of which are iiuartcred at Luue ville, and the other three at the cam) of Chalons, which is also not far ftom the 1 frontier. It is interesting to romark that while the 15th German Army Corps, ' for reasons easily understood, is com posed of troops drawn from other uriny 1 corns- the 1st, lid, .'Id, fith, 8th, 10th. l'Jth and 1 1 tit each furnish a regiment of infantry -the same system holds good in I France for the Army of Faris, which is I chielly composed of strong detachments j drawn from the 2d, Ith ami nth army corps. It may be added that what is , called the commandment of Faris con j hints of an average of 70,000 men. Next in strength eomes the I Uh nnny corps, headquarters Lyons, ;i,pi,()00 strong; and ' the tlth in in v corps, headipiurters Chu i Ions (with detachments from !M iiniiy )oOrp), IXI.imO rl-oi.

Here is our plan: Let the lady immediately upon icceiving her paper, carefully cut from it some item it mukes no mirtieular diU'erenco what it is -most any item will do, only let it bo nently uud carefully removed from the paper. Then the following pro ceeding will be sure to ensue: In n few moments tho neighbor'. bov will come after the paper, lie will take it home, uml within three minutes he will emerge from the house he will Hcoot down street, uml very shortly return with n folded newspaper of the Haino date us tho one just borrowed.

Not one woman among them ull would bo ublo to sleep a wink without know ing just exactly what that cut-out item wiih. Tho nexl day the huly will pur hud the same com so and Himilur results will follow. In an extremely obstinate neighborhood these proceedings huve to be repeated three or four days but not longer. By this time the lady will be ublo to read her newspaper in peace, and the newspaper llnunccs will be tho gainer in several now subscribers, Tho rule is infallible, where tho borrowers aro females, but it can't be vouched for in the case of men.

Although tho practico of bowing rye among com for the purpose of affording winter pas tnrugohas increased during tho last few ycni-s, it is by no means us general as it should bo.

At Fort Denton ho will lo joined by Colonol Mnolood und other oilleors of the Mounted Police, who will neconipnny the Bishop to the Sweet Grass Hills, where tho conference is to tako plneo. Should Sittiug Bull necept tho terms of tho United States Govern ment, it is thought thut ho nnd his fol lowers will return to thoir reservation immediately, or at least within thirty days. Tho conditions imposed by tho Government, wo lielieve, are that Sitting Bull's btiiul before returning to tho United States nro to bo disarmed and to givo up thoir horses, except what may bo uooded for agricultural purposes. An other condition is that they nro to remain porinnnontly on their resorvntion nnd never to leave it without permission of tho Government. Bishop Miutin ex presses tho opinion that Bitting Bull himself will not submit to these terms, but that tho majority of his followers will bo glad to out loose from their old chief and accept the situation.

This is tho fenson of tho year in which the farmer who hns a bearing npplo orchard can easily have new cider on his table, nnd inuy experiment with keeping n few barrels of pure sweet cider through tho winter. It used to bo said that cider made in Oregon could not be kept for any length of time, but this Iioh often ls-en disproved by our liest cider-makers. Tho apples grown on our mountains or foothills make cider which will keep as keep as long as any in the world. With proper care in the manufacture, and choosing tho variety of apple u good quality of cider can bo made in all parts of the State. Ah 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 bo rejected in an adjoining county. The Baldwin, wherever it grows well and is fieo from black specks nn tho skin, is ono of the best of cider apples. Along the foothills and on the mountain farms we can mention no better apple, though tho Smith's Cider nnd Winesap nre of find quality. Most persona nppear to prefer a cider made from a red apple. A rather hard apple, of good and sprightlv flavor, is to be chosen. Good cider can only be made by the upc of clean and bound fruit, such ns would bo taken to market, though it need not be quite as large. Fruit when gath ered from the tree is dusty, nnd if it has been lying in piles on the ground or in boxes, it is apt not only to lie dusty, but also sticky from the few which have de cayed. AVe have seen apples which were too much soiled and bruised to be taken comfortably into the hands, and yet were ground up into cider. In one memonble case we know of, a drove of hogs hail, for several weeks, been in tho orchard, rooting over and trampling tho 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 1eing wiped or washed, some went in tho press being partly decayed. The Hrst rulo for the manufacture of good cider must therefore be to Uioroughly as sort and cleanse tho apples. Let a boy v ipo tho apples w ith a dry cloth before they aro ground 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 sievo of hair-cloth (not wire), should be placed over a bucket set beneath the edga of the 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 lo drawn off through a small spigot placed n couple of inches from the bottom, anil put into clean sweet barrels. As soon as white bubbles rise to the top, ruck it oil' again, and this process should bo repeated three or four times. Then till the barrel up with cider of the same character, odd a tumblerful of warm aweet oil and Iwng it ill! tight. Half a puunii oi gjiicose, or somewnat lis ol white sugar, may be added at this stage of tho progress. The usual way of preparing clean bar rels for the reception of eider 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 quarter of a pound of dissolved isinglass, into the barrel before it is tilled 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 apor. They add from one-eighth to one-fourth of an ounce of the sulphite to each gallon of eider, and this presorves its sweetness perfectly, but the proportions mentioned must not bo exceeded. After the cider has stood several days it may be drawn oh" and bottled. Sulphite of lime costs nbout fifty cents ier pound. It is a different article from sulphate of lime, nnd the two must not be confused. When sweet cilor is bottled u little cinnamon or sassafras bark and a drachm of bioarbou nto of sodu may bo added. This mukes cider effervesce, but euro must bo taken not to use too much of the bicarbonate of soda. Got any Nails?

X 1'cw.iiN s Wit The cholera, which has made such havoc dnrihg- Hi ut twelve mouths, both among the Anglo Indian troops and their opponents, is an object of superstitions terror throughout the whole East. Many of the wilder triles lMjliero it to le a malignant spirit attaching itself to tho steps of some man marked by fate for that purpose, who carries destruction wherever he goes, while ho himself is unhurt. This strange fancy which probably arises from the fact that tho pestilence has more than once crossed Western Asia at a slow and measured rate, as if really attending the daily march of its supposed bearer has naturally proved fatal to many a foreign traveler, in whom popu lar superstition had seen tho bringer of the curse. On one occasion, 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 notorious as brigands, ho boldly avowed himself as bringer of the cholera. "See," he cried, holding up a small flaak, "the cholera spirit is in this flask, and shall remain there so long as yon treat mo well; but let one of you offend me in any way, and I will let ft looso to sweep you all from the faco of the earth." Tho terrified Persians fully believing his as sertion, tried to avert tho threatened dangor by studied courtesy, providing him with everything he required, and uetunlly sending several of their number with liim ns nu escort, whoso extrava gant stories spread tho terror of his name so effectually that he was treated with the greatest respect so long as ho remain ed in the country.
