Q.» F0 F0 50 There is a corpulent little old sailor named Hiram A. Reed living at Spring Lake, Mich., who has just had his eyes opened. Forty-four years ago this little old man, then a sprightâ€" ly sailor of twenty-six, had command of the schooner Ontario, belonging in Oswego, N. Y., and sailing between that port and Ontario, Can. On a trip in July or August of the year 1831, Captain Reed had two passen- gers, a young Frenchman and his wife, named Golah. There were no passenger boats in those days. At .noon upon a certain quiet day the captain heard a splash, and hurrying to the side of the vessel discovered that the lady had fallen overboard. Quickly seizing the end of a coil of rope, the other end of which was fas- tened toa belaying pin, he jumped overboard, and as the vessel had scarcely steen ge way quickly reach- ed the lady. Her gratitude, and that of the husband knew no bounds, and upon the arrival of the vessel at Tor- onto they tried to induce the captain to accept a present of a gold watch. This he refused, and only upon ear- nest solicitation accepted a gold half eagle from the lady. A few days ago he received a letter from the American Consul at Paris, announ- cing that a wealthy Frenchman had just died, and that a provision in his will left 50,000 francs to “ one Hiram Reed, who was master of the schoon- er Ontario in the summer of 1831, and who once saved the life of his wife.” Of the crew of six on board the vessel that summer, Mr. Reed has positive knowledge of the death of four, and knows the whereabouts of one of‘ the other twoâ€"â€"his brother, Asa Reed. He has sent to the cus- tom house officers at Oswego, and al- so to Washington for copies of his papers, and expects by this means to establish his identity and secure the legacy.

A twelve hours’ sail down the New Jersey coast and across Delaware Bay in one of the Old Dominion steamships takes the traveller to one of the oddâ€" est and hottest towns in the countyâ€" Lewes, Delaware. A New York Sun. reporter in search of the peach regions sailed in the iron steamship Richmond a few days ago, and at four o’clock next morning landed at the long pier that juts out toward the Delaware breakwater. When our ship is fastened to the pier and the gangway is secured, we go ashore to see the placeâ€"Jar we have three hours to wait till the train starts that is to take us to the peach orchards. An old sea captain who has come down with us is standing on the end of the pier. His schooner, loaded with peaches, is left in New York under the mate’s charge, and he is on his way home by steam. The captain is waving his handkerchief to a schooner out near the breakwater. Her captain is his next-door neighâ€" bor, he says, and would come ashore if he knew who was there. Present 1y he puts his hands to his mouth and gives a peculiar whistle, and is answered by the men on the schoon- er. A boat is lowered, the captain of the schooner gets in, and soon the two old sea dog’s are seated on a log, each whittling a pine stick, and talk- ing of home and business. But here comes the train. Two modern passenger cars come down the pier first, then the baggage car, and last of all, the engineâ€"for the train is coming backward. We ask the conductor pwho owns the fin- est peach orchard on the road, and he says,“ Gen. Van Worst, up at Mil- ford.” The talkative countryman who sits by you, in answer to the same question, says, "‘ Gen. Van Werst, up at Milford,” and the obligâ€" ing old lady in the seat just behind says, “ If you want to see peaches go to Gen. Van Worst’s, up at Milford.” So we are booked for Milford, and the train being fast, and time having good wings, here we are at that old- fashioned town, the largest settlement in Delaware but one, and altogether the oddest, shadiest, slowest old place KISSING FOR THE CHILDREN.

Then the Early Yorke, 0r Honest Johns, came on. We have just finished picking these, and have begun on the Crawford’s early. Next week we Will pick the old Mixon’s and the Princess Rareri e’s, and last of all the Stump the \ orld’s. The week after will come the Crawford’s late, Ward’s late, and Beer Smocks; and last of all, the Solways, and a few minor kinds. “ How many crates will I ship during the season ’! It’s hard to tell exactly, but somewhere in the vicin- ity of 60,000. I have no fixed quan- tity to ship every day~it depends entirely upon the weather. Some days I ship from 2,500 to 3,000 crates and on others, not half as many. I don’t pay any attention to the condi- tion of the market. When they are ready to be picked they’ve got to go, and I ship right along, without ask- ing any questions about the price.” THE PICKERS. The General drove through the other two orchards, almost exact co- pies of the first. In the last forty men, black and white, were at work picking peaches; some standing on the ground reaching down for low limbs and reaching up for high limbs; others on step-ladders, picking off the tops of the trees. Every man had a basket, and as fast as the baskets were filled, they were stood in a row on each side of the roadway, making a line of ripe crimson peaches on each side of us a mile long. The white men keep up a quiet conversation; but the negroes are singing a planta- ‘tion song. Five teams are carrying athe baskets to the paking house, and gthe jolly overseer is here, there, and leverywhere, his huge steel watch chain jingling at every step. He looks out for everything and keeps the whole machine running smoothly. The wagons are double deckers, and hold two tiers of baskets: We will follow this one to the packing house, and see what is done with the peach- es after they leave the orchard. “I came here in 1867,” he says. “This place was then covered with trees, and was so wild that the vil- lage boys were afraid to go through it after dark; I sold the old cabin that stood by the road for $50, and built that house,” pointing to the handsome residence. “Ever? year I have added to the place and im- provedit, till now I haVe six hundred and forty acres of as good land as is to be found in the State. But you want to know about the peaches. Be- gin at the beginning? Well, in the first place we buy the little trees from the nurseries. As soon as they are large enough we ‘bud’ them; that is the same as grafting them, only we insert a bud instead of a twig, and fasten it in with a wrapped cord instead of with wax. The trees are set sixteen feet apart each way, and every fifth row is thirty feet wide fora wagon road. 1 have 27,000 peach trees, covering 275 acres. They are so arranged, the early and late varieties, that we have a contin- uous supply from the beginning to the end of the season. “The first to ripen,” the General continued, “ are the Hale’s early. We _beg§.n~ tohp‘ick them this season Here is one of the three peach or- chards of the farm. Itis a mile long and about a quarter of a mile wide. Every tree is loaded down with the beautiful, blushing fruit. The ground under the tree is covered, but there are more peaches on the trees than there are men to pick 01' customers to buy. The General will tell us all about his place as we drive be- tween the trees, picking a ripe peach first on the one side and then on the other. In the packing house ten or twelve men are at work. They are seated on crates, and in front of each is a bas- The landlord of the hotel, who gives to hungry travellers a first-rate din- ner for fifty cents, pointed out the way to G en. Van Worst’s peach farm, a mile from the town, straight down the road. We follow his directions, and find the General standing near his farm overseeing some workmen. After we have explained what we are and what we want, he wastes neither time nor words, but immediately or- ders his open buggy, and when it comes we jump in and start for the peach orchard. While we are drivâ€" ingup the long lane that runs straight through the middle of the farm, let us take a look at the General. A few years ago he was Mayor of Jersey ' City, where he was born. In the war he was on the staff of the Governor of New Jersey, and had charge of a large hospital in Jersey City. At one time he was sent down to Ken- tucky with $160,000 to pay off troops, and found himself under the same roof with the dreaded Morgan. He escaped from the house and was hid- den for four days by his friend Dr. Underwood, the pool seller. While he was in Kentucky General Van Worst bought a fast mare, to keep out of Morgan’s way. When he quit the State he left the mare, and after- ward sent for her, but did not get her. The mare has since become known to horsemen all over the coun- tryâ€"the celebrated Lady Thorne. on the line of the Junction and Break? Water Railroad. G HEAT IMPROVEMENTS. AT THE ORCIIARDS‘ To his pickers he pays a dollar a day. He has on the place several cottages, in which his head workmen live. The men have the privilege of planting vegetables between the trees, and in this way they can raise all they can eat. The men are sharp enough, too, to sow their seeds in such a position that the plants will be cultivated whenever the trees are. They are allowed to help themselves to the fruit, and those Who are not married can get board very cheap. Scattered about the grounds are tool houses, in which the ploughs and cul- tivators are kept, and down by the barn are three storehouses, piled from cellar to roof with baskets and crates. “ I have to buy enough for the whole season before the picking begins,” the General explains, “ for if the makers should catch a man with no crates, and a crop of peaches on his hands ready forAthe ‘mnrket, he’d have to pay well for them, and perhaps not be able to get them at all. All the crates belong to the purchasers, but the baskets are sent hack free.” A few of the peaches are shipped in what are technically known as “ pocket crates "â€"boxes with a sep- arate compartment for each peach. These peaches are valued highly, nearly always being in good condi- tion, and bring from $2.50 to $3 per crate. The pears are packed in the same way as the peaches, each pear being carefullyinspected. The peach trees begin to bear when they are four years old, and last for four years, Then lohey are pulled up, a crop of corn is planted, and the next year a new lot of trees are set out. 3370 di'iveyupA the front yard, and take a seat in the shade at the back of the house, where several of the men are packing Bartlett peers. The General orders a watermelon, “just out of the ice house,” and while we are eating it he tells us something about the management of a. great peach orchard. The land requires a deal of manure, he says, and to sup- ply this, and to keep plenty of good butter, he has a herd of Jersey cattle, forty of them, of each of which he has a fflll pedigree. He keeps sixteen horses, and, in the busy season, hires as many more. The pear crop this year is very abundant. The general has three thousand pear trees, and they are all loaded With fruit. The Belle Lucraâ€" tive, which were ripe last week, he was unable to pick, and more than three hundred baskets of them are left to rot on the trees. “ What are we getting a crate ? I can tell you that, too. Here’s a de- spatcli I got from my eonsignees this morning. That tells the story. Hear what they say. ‘ Your last lot arrived in bad order, and we had to sell them at twentyfive cents aerate to get rid of them.’ How many crates would a man have to sell, at that rate, to get rich. But of course they don’t all sell as low as that. Sometimes we get a dollar a crate, or a dollar and a half; It all depends on the condition the peaches are in when they arrive in New York. ‘Late fruit ships better, and keeps fresh longer than the early. The trouble with the crop so far has been the rain. The peaches have got so full of water that they’re soft and squasliy before they’re ripe. They seem ripe and sound when we ick3 them, but before they get to ewi York they’re gone. If we have but afew days of dry weather, it will make a great difference in the value of peaches. If we could get a ‘load of peaches like that to New York,” picking up a large, beautiful speci- men, “ we could get almost any price for them. But of course they have to be shipped before they're quite ripe.” The Old Dominion Steamship Com- pany own the Junction and Break- water Railroad, and thus afl‘ord an outlet for nearly all the fruit of the senth of Delaware. Almost all the peaches are shipped to New York, very few going to Philadelphia, “ be- cause,” as the General explained, “ there is no outlet from Philadelphia, but from New York they are sent to the Eastern and \Vostern markets.” 8 cents for picking and loading. That’s 54. Then 5 cents for Garbage in New York. Fifty-nil’le cents, ex- actly. ' I can tell you to a ce7lt,” said the General taking out his note-book. “ The crate costs 16 cents. The freight from Milfbrd to New York is 30 cents. That makes 46 cents. Say “ What does it coast to land a crate in New York, including eyerypbing? ‘ ket of peaches and a crate that is be- ‘ing packed. Each peach has to be carefully handled and thoroughly in- spected, for a single bad one would spoil a whole crate. The “ culls” are put in baskets by themselves, to be packed afterwards, and marked “ No. 2.” As each crate is filled the cooper nails on- the head, and right behind him comes, the marker, with his stencil plates and can of blue ink. The crate is marked with a “ V ” in diamond, and on the other end “Early York.” Then it is stood with the others by the door, ready to go to the depot. One of the double-decked wagons drives up, and fifty-five crates start for the cars. Nearly all the peaches that reach TRANSPORTATION. THE PROFITS THE MEN. 1. We slay no animal for food, and consume none of the products of such slaughter. 2. Our daily bread is sweet, and consists of grain (wheat, corn, rye, barley, oats), which we grind coar- sely and bake; also of millet, rice, peas, beans, lentiles, etc., which we boil. To this add especially all kinds of fruit. 4. We thirst, therefore, seldom, and drink little. We avoid spirits (beer, Wine, brandy, etc.),' also tea, cofi'ee, and vinegar, and drink water or the pure juice of fruit; mixed with water. 5. We avoid all stimulating, nerve- blunting indulgences, especially the hateful tobacco smoking, chewing and snufiing. 6. Cleanliness of the Whole body and the hardening of the same is with us a rule of life, and especially do We care for the normal activity of the skin as the condition of sound health. A Society in Germany publishes a tract for general distribution, in which under the heading, “How Do We Live ‘3” occurs the following sum- mary: 3. We avoid all stimulating con- diments, such as pepper, ginger, nut. meg, cloves, garlic, mustard, etc. The Old Dominion steamships carry out about 8,000 crates every day, of which fully one-quarter are from General Van Worst’s orchards. There are larger orchards than his in the state, but none better and few half so well managed. And there is no fruit grower in all Delaware who takes more pride in his acres, or who can treat a stranger with greater hospi- tality than Jersey City‘s ex-Mayor. 7. We submit, also, very much upâ€" on the air, and take care that it shall be pure and fresh where we live, Where we work, and especially where we sleep. In the height of the season many extra hands flock to central and. southern Delaware, from New York, Philadelphia, and the smaller cities; and all of those who Wish can find employment. But after making the tramp many of them prefer to live on peaches and berries, and refuse to work, sleeping under the trees Where they are allowed to stay undisturbed. The natives call them “peach plucks " and treat them with the greatest con- tempt. "I'r ' - < 8. The heavenly sunlight is our life, therefore we allow it to pen- etrate our dwellings, in order that these may be dry and the air thereâ€" in healthful. 10. We aim at moderation in all things, as the true condition of en- joyment. 9. Work, bodily and mental, is our delight. We seek healthful and use- ful labor, and love conflict ; but only against superstition and all unnatural- ness. From the northern part of the State the fruit outlet is by the Phila- delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad, and the Delaware railroad. The peach farms are scattered all over the peninsula; but the great ma- jority are in the central and northern parts. One of the finest farms in the state is that of Col. Wilkins, near Chestertown, with 1,400 acres of peach trees ; S. F. Shallerosshas 1200 acres near Middletown, and J. S. Har- ris has 1,200. ’ 11. We reject all medicinal poisons, and every thing that can act inju- riously upon the blood. 12. Through soundness of body we seek soundness of mind, and through soundness of mind, we act again upon the body, and thus secure for both a higher degree of enjoyâ€" ment than is possible under the usual flesh-eating mode of life, with its consequences. l At Westover, on the east shore, a hundred and twenty miles from Wil- mington, is a cluster of old English estates. Of these, Westover contains 7 50 acres; Arlington, 636 acres; and the third, Workington, 314. There are three flne old houses on these as- tates, built of brick imported from England more than a century ago, and the interior woodwork of carved oak was also wrought in England. Before the war, the proprietors of these estates had about five hundred slaves each, but now they are fine peach orchards, Arlington having ten thousand trees. the New York market are raised on ‘the Peninsula that is surrounded by the Chesapeake Bay on the west and southwest, the Atlantic on the east and southeast, and Delaware Bay and river on the northeast.

The peninsula broadens, from the neck, to an aver- age width of about fifty miles. ex- pands near the centre to seventy miles, and then quickly narrows again to a strip seventy miles long and ten or fifteen wide.;.

The ladies walk round the lake. At 5 o’clock each of the party comes with keen appetite to a table spread in the wilderness, a table of spring chicken and large new ear- lerose potatoes from the Lake House ranchâ€"0f bread and butter,_and cof- fee made with the deep pure water by our side. Some of the hill tribes in Northern India have a peculiar way of sending their babes to sleep, which is thus described: Near a hollow bamboo, which served as a spout, through which the cool water of the mountain stream poured forth in a jet, was dis- posed the head of an infant, who was lying covered warmly and fast asleep. The bamboo spout was so placed that the water played upon the crown of the baby’s head over a part which seemed to be bald of hair, a conseâ€" quence, perhaps of the habitual action of the water. The children, for ‘there were two of them, were lying ‘on their right sides, and perfectly lstill, one would fancy in a state of ‘stupcfaction. They had been lying for an hour and a half, we were told; and would be there till nine at night â€"in all between four and five hours. We felt the face of one of them and found it cold, and then held the pulse of one of them, but could detect no movement. Bet these hill people are convinced that the strange practice, which is quite general, assists in strengthening the brain, and makes the children not only healthy, but hardy and fearless. ' ' Halrids'onié‘drfiéifients eliti‘he made by mounting fern leaves on glass. The leaves must first be dyed or 001- ored. They are then arranged on the mirror according to fancy. A but- terfly or two may be added. Then a sheet of clear glass of the same size is placed on top, and the sheets se- cured together at the edges and pluc- ed in a frame. Wet Mountam Valley in Colorado. The following soluble glass is best adapted for coating brick or stone: Dry carbonate of potassiu m, 10 parts ; powdered quartz, 15 parts; charcoal, 1 part. Sand, free from alumina and iron, may replace the quartz. Fuse together, and dissolve in boiling wa- ter of five or six times the weight. Filter. ' The following table for boiling fruit in cans will doubtless proVe use-' ful, as- the present is the time for putting up such preserves for Winter. The first figure after the name of the the fruit refers to the time of boiling in minutes, and the seond to the num- ber of ounces of sugar to the quart: cherries 5, G ; raspberries 6, 4; black- berries, G, 6 ; gooseberries, 8, 8; curâ€" rents, 6, 8 ; grapes, 10, 8; peaches (whole) 15, 4; peaches (halves),8,4; pears (whole), 30, 8 ; crab apples, 25, 8; quinces (sliced), 15, 10; tomatoes, 30, none; beans and peas, three to four hours. Sawdust can be converted into a liquid wood, and afterwards into a , solid, flexible, and almost indestruct: lible mass, which, when ineorp’orated with animal matter, rolled, and dried, can be used for the most delicate im- pressions, as well as for the forma- tion of strong and durable arfieleS, in' the following manner: Immerse the dust of any kind of wood in diluted sulphuric acid, sufficiently strong to affect the fibers, for some days 3 the finer parts are then paSsed througha sieve, well stirsed, and then allowed to settle. Drain the liquid from the sediment, and mix the latter with a proportionate quantity of' animal - ofl fal, similar to that used for glue. Boil the mass, pack it 1n molds, and allow it to dry. ' The best remedy for currant and gooseberrry worms is the powdered white hellebore, obtainable at any, druggist’s. Put the powder in a com- mon tin cup, and tie a piece of very fine muslin over the mouth. Fasten the apparatus to the end of a short stick, and dust the powder through the muslin lightly on the bushes. Do not work on a windy day, and stand to windward during the opera t10n,as, if taken into the nostrils, the hellebore excites violent sneez; ing.
