XABLT FATIKKIXO QW AKIMAL8 It ii quite u impwivit to fatten and mar- ket ecomoaiiodly, the animai^ prodbct^^ the farm, m it is to raise them. A ponncnMr bee^ poric, or poultry, can be made much cheaper ia Septembo and Oetober. than later in the oeMOii, when « larger part of tiie rations must go to keep up anim*l heat. There is co sleight ol hand in laying fat up- on an animal's carcass. It must come out of good honest food in the cttim» fed. The temperature in the latter part of snnuner and early autumn, is in favor of the best nae of aU the fattening articles of food, whfle there is enough of green food to sharpen the i^petite, and keep up gooi digestion. We have found green com stalks, especially sweet-corn, an excellent article in the stye, to be fed in connection with com on the cob, and com meal, and other rations. We have never seen pork made more rapidly than with this kind of feeding. It will be safe to feed all that the swine will eat up clean, and no more. Slack up the feed a little when anything is left in the trough. This will require a uttle attention, but the Eigs will grow so fast, that one can afford to nger by the stye a few minutes, once in tne day to see the fat accumulate. Corn is high this season, and we want to maks the best use of it. The best poultrymeu. we know begin to give extra food in Septem- ber, when they meaa to kill in November. The thanksfiiving market is pretty sure to be a good one, and brings ready cash. The small potatoes boiled, and mixed with In- dian meal and hot water, make an excellent feed for turkeys and other poultry. This favors growth, as well as fattening. The rations of com and other grain, unground, may be reserved to the last few weeks of life. Turkeys should have their liberty all through extra feeding. Some poultrymen shut up their geese and ducks, but we doubt the economy of this method. With a good run, they will have a greater variety of food, and thrive better with an access to a pasture with pond or brook, while they are receiving full feed for market. All that the fattening animals will eat up clean, is a good rale for the last month of feeding. L«««-T«lEess maM. fMT the ^BUSSIAir SOMAirCB. Points on the Hotel Business. The landlord, my dear children, is an honest man, generally but unless you keep away from his house, he will take you in if he can. Bat ddf not judge him too harshly. If he can put up with you, you should be able to put up with him. He is always ready to give everybody a warm reception, and puts you on the regis- ter as soon as you arrive. The landlord is the head of the hotel. He is also its boniface. The landlord, though usually a temperate man, is never so happy as when he is lull. Nothing pleases him ^o much as to see a host in his house, but empty though his house may be, still he is a host in himself. In 8ome hotels they have stated hours for breakfast, dinner and supper but you can get meals at all ours. The landlord is ever watchful of his actions, although the keeper of an inn is necessarily inn-discreet. Drinking habits are not necessarily preva- lent at the hotel, but almost everybody's first care on entering one is to call for the porter. The landlord vrill give you a room if he have it. Whie you are at his house you are his gnest, but probably you have already guessed that. Some persons are very" illogical in their treatment of landlords. I once knew a man who said that a certain hotel keeper's house was not fit to lodge in, and immedi- ately afterwards lodged a complaint with him. The landlord usually charges for extras, but he considers this honest and above hoavd.â€" Boston Transcrq^t. there were G2 new cases yesterday.

At the great temperance demonstration held in Exeter Hall, London, on the 17th of July last. Canon Wilberforce made the fol- lowing remarks â€" There is not a man in this room who can aflFord to look down on the 7'imes news- paper. You may not like its mode of dealing with subjects, but the Times newspaper, one of the wisest men I ever knew told me has done very much in this matter to raise the standard of journalistic literature. And on the 16th of May the Times had a leading article on the liquor traffic where it simply unveiled the whole face of men against whom we have to fight. The Times said "You temperance reformers, you are wasting your shot and sheU by bombarding these little outposts. You have to carrj' the whole force of your bombardment against the real fountain head of the evilâ€" the great brew- eries of this kingdom." Therefore we have striven to raise the workingmen of England to the consciousness of what, with the deepest respect, I would caU the intolerable folly of continuing to send back to the House of Commons brewers to their interests.

A young man named Farquhar, famed m London clubs for his wit i^d b^uty, h« determined to go on thestage, being encour- ^d thereto by the succwfof Mri Lang- Emie Weathersbyâ€" a sister of the Weath- SS«^°^u^^^**PP«'™»«einNewYork Saturday. They say she is the Uviogimage of Mrs. LAngtry, complexion and alL A«nong the ladies ofhonorof the late Em- Marie, of Russia, was one of her country-women, a young Hessian, ol whom she was particularly f(»id. One evening, says a Puris ciMrrespondent, when alone with her sovereigo, Mile. X. threw herself aMMT imperial feet, and, with many tears, avowed that she was loved by the Grand Dokd A*exii and returned his passion, wherefore she besoufirht her majesty to consent to the union. The imperial reply was an immedi- ate order to the petitioner to retire to her family at Darmstadt and to the prince to join his squadron in the Baltic. But the august master of Russia had not calculated upon the strength of true love. Mademoisello rot away from her parents, or more probab- ly helped by them to make the journey, took passage on a Cunard steamer, and joined the man of her choice in America, where they were privately married. You remember the visit of the grand duke to the United States in 1872, of course, but neither you nor any- one else had an idea that he was there on a sort of wedding tour. I am assured, though, that the facts are as stated, bat fancy that there is a chronological error, and that the episode is of much more recent date. How- ever this may be, the pair were joined in holy wedlock, and the reception of their marriage certificate raised a terrible com- motion on the banks of the Neva. Disgraces and vicissitudes of all kinds followed the exploit Alexis was threatened and cajoled to break off the "disgraceful connection," but he held out bravely, and as the czar's own affair with Princess Dolgorouki came in the nick of time to incline the paternal heart to indulgence, Alexander II. finally agreed to shut his eyes to his son's situation, although sternly refusing to recognize the legitimacy of the marriage. Like the people in the fairy tale, Alexis and his bride were very happy, and now, at the sohcitation of the czarina, who appreciates the beauty of a united household, Alexander III. proposes to give the marriage his official sanction. Alexis is one of the most distinguished mem- bers of the imperial family. He resembles, in many ways, his uncle, the Grand Duke Constantine, and believing himself much superior, intellectually and physically, to his brothers, tor years pinned his faith on the prediction of a gypsy, by whom it was foretold that he would bome day be seated on the throne of the Romanoffis. At one time, indeed, circumstances seemed to point to the realization of this prophecy. The first bom of the czar died at Nice, the Grand Duke Alexander, the present emp»ror, seemed incapable of holding the sceptre, and gave no promise of becoming, what he has become, thanks to his wife, a deep thinker and earnest worker, vhile the Grand Duke Vladimir, an effeminate pleasure-seeker, would have sold his birthright tor a casket of jewels, so that Alexis seemed to be the only son in a condition to succeed his father. Since this, events have upset all those cal- culations, but have not destroyed his aspir- ations after isovereign grandeur. His dream was Byzantine, the long cherished secret ambition of his uncle Constantine, but there again he was doomed to disappointment, and so turned toward Asia, where he hopes to found an empire. As anything and everything is possible in this world, who knows whether this dauntless energy may not yet present an imperial crown to her whom, in the teeth of all opposition, he has succeeded m making a princess. A BTJBMESE ROMAKCE. In the late king's time his favorite daughter was the Tsalin princess, a girl of great beauty, and a most amiable disposi- tion. All foreign ladies used to go to her, and to her only for, besides being the highest princess in the land (says the Lon- don Glohe)^ her kindness and affability made her the most universally-loved member of the royal family. When the late king died her late charming mother's rival. Queen Allaynandeau, having practically seized all power and authority, the Tsalin princes was imprisoned, and so cruelly treated by order of the present queen, herself daughter of Allaynandeau, that she fell dangerously sick. Left without any care, and hardly any food, death seemed to be the only de- liverer at hand. But Providence watched over the princess. A high official, remotely related to her, and ^ne of the foreign ladies who had been most kindly treated by her formerly, were most active in trying to find for her the means of escap^. But the guards were too strict and too many. While her friends w?re "scheming and considering" female servant/?, living i'n ,. iiear her and suddenly died. Another female servant of hers takmg advantage of the isolation in which she and her mistress had been left within their wretched place of confinement, put the corpse into the princess' bed, and the latter, dressed as a common palace slave, and in the hubbub caused by the news of her own death, quickly found her way out and ulti- mately reached the house of her foreign fnend, who being rightly afraid to keep her m her own house had her removed to a safe place outside of Mandalay. The princess meanwhile being pro- nounced dead tho body was removed and disposed of, but not before the toes on one side had been chopped off, to muke it look like the princess, ehe having had the mis- fortune to be born with a club foot. After nearly two years the princess, who had en- tirely recovered her former good health, was taken away from her hiding-place in a large covered and perfectly close Burmese cart. With the help of her foreign friend, she put on a Eurepean dress, and having arrived at the river side, went straight on bou-d of a steamer that was just leaving from Rangoon But when the steamer reached Koonywaj some two days' journey below Mandalay, the down steamer had just arrived at the' same place, and the news soon spread that some petty official or other having lately ab- scdhded from MandaUy, orders^had been re- ceived at the frontier to search closely every up steamer, on hearing which the princess resummg her Burmese dress, and markinc her face up as best she could, hmded and crossed the river in a smaU boat, she havina madeup hw mind to try and reach the Shu countey.

"â-² moat extraordinary stMy of trcMpt- flies made oat of hnm«i hair was rdated to me some time a^ o by a friend of mine, who is a manufacturer of sportsmen's materials," said a jeweller to a PhiladelDhia Timu w- Gtrter, while an amused smue played over B fsatures. "There used to be a gay yonng fellow in this city who made love to every young girl he came across. He most have been rather successful, for he always managed to secure a lock of hair frem each of his conquests. This young man had an- other equally strong passion â€" trout-fishing. He loved to fish for the speckled beauties of the brook and muse on the many beaut- eous maidsns among whom he divided the treasures of his heart. An idea struck him he would have a fly constructed out of each lock of hair he possessed. He took his col- lection of silky love-tokens, gleaned from peif umed tresses, \o the manufacturer of sportsmen's materials and requested him to make the desired flies. When finished he placed them in his fishing packet-book, each one attached to a card witn the name of the girl and date of the gitt. His subsequent fishing was a long dream cf romance. Even in their broiled state the trout had a halo of memory arotmd them which gave them a fiavor tor which LucuUus would have for- feited an empire. He brought every con- ceivable color, and kind of hair to be made into fliesâ€" black, light and dark brown, gray, white, goldeu, yellow, auburn and red, curly, wavy, and crinkly. In less than three years my friend made him 150 trout flies, which would be at the rate of a new girl every week. He was asked one day which colored flies he perferred. In reply he said red flies were preferable to any of the others, and that in future he, intended to confine his attentions to young ladies whose heads glowed with flame-like hues. In proof of this, he married a girl with red hair, and had ten flies constmcted out of one of her tresses. For some httle time after his nuptials his heart remained tme to his fiery-polled bride and his red-haired flies. One day, however, he brought my friend a lock ot a far deeper hue of aubum, and instructed him to make two flies, as he found the fish would no longer bite at his wife's hair. His better half discovered the change of bait and began to sruell a rat. To make matters worse, he one day went to his office, leaving the key to his private desk at home in the lock. The lady examined the premises and discovered the album of flies, to which she had only the previous day add- ed his latest conquest. Tbe wife retumed to her mother that very morning, instituted proceedings for a divorce, and gained her suit, the fly-book being produced as evi- dence in court. If you search the court re- cords you will find full confirmation of what I have just told you." KKEDLES AND PINS. • Tha Aagto-Turklah Ahemed Bssed M Cs^]* T 1 ' Effendi, tK.
