FIELD . AND FIEESIDE.
SALTPETER FOR HYACINTHS.
Win. Laurie says:--It may be in
teresting to know that while the bulb
is producing its roots in the water, by
applying a little nitrate of potash
(saltpeter) to the water in which the
bulb is in, it will in a great measure
stimulate growth and be the means
of producing better roots and flowers
than they otherwise would be. Dis
solve the nitrate in water,pour into the
glasses when changing the water,
which ought to be done at least every
two or three weeks. If there are any
who doubt the fact, let them apply it
to some such thing as mustard or
cress, which they may be growing in
their hot houses now, when, I doubt
not, they will find it to produce bene
ficial effects. But although all means
are taken to produce growth there
will be many failures, which will arise
from not having the proper bulbs for
water. As a rule, single hyacinths
grow much better in water than the
double varieties. The water ought
to be soft, and when changed not
.colder than the temperature of the
room or the place where the hya
cinths are kept. Many are the fail
ures I have seen,, owing to some la
dies thinking if they just had a bulb
struck in a glass with the water near
ly over the bulb; it was all right.
A Chinese llevival Meetlns:.
Sacramento Record," lOtt.l
The sensation of the day was a1
meeting gotten up by Wah Loy, a
converted (hinaman. It was held at
the corner of I and Third streets.
Wah Loy, managed at half-past 1
o'clock to get together some- 200 of
his countrymen'. He had about him
six Chinese who had been Christian
ized. These were provided with sing
ing books, while on a blank wall were
hung a number of slips of white cloth,
on which various songs were stenciled.
Loy stood in front and with a long
, wooden pointer pointed put the
- words, emphasizing the syllables and
U 11 W . ... V. U . W MW k U UUU1. . j . M lit.
i singing by the Chinaman was credit-
. ' 1 1 . . - 1 -1
aoie, oetter man we naa any reason
I to expect. Early in the evening a
number of ladies came up and aided
in the singing, and, subsequently the
50 or 60 'white men in the croyzJ
joined in the choruses. After con-
, siderable singing, Rev. Mr. Hough
addressed the Chinese assembled,
Wah Loy interpreting sentence by
, sentence.
" When Jesus was here in the
' world"
" How lov sing chewing see Jesus
see you l ate '
" He said, 'Come unto me, all ye
that labor and are heavY laden, and
1 will give you rest.
" Say lung yet che choy ching buy
sat che qujy long-ng, onlying yah
wong yet ying choyse."
" Yoa are all seeking for happiness,
but you are not happy." .
x-rg -sr ac uugyou moy cnawing
sing nek set yeng."
' You seek for hautnness. but do
not find it." ;
"Aynghow u sing chong lee set
.
niut J ul,3 ir. j
" Jesus shows us the way to true
happiness." " "
"Ying low musing leying toy set
o-Y-ng."
In this manner the exhortation pro
ceeded. The Chinese above given,
if .not thoroughly intelligible to the
civilized reader, can be sifted out by
the-nearest Chinese laundryman, our
report being special and accurate and
in the ph rest tone of the poetical
tongue of the flowery kingdom.
Wah Loy now took the stand and
preached to the Chinese for twenty
minutes, in what appeared to be an
earnest and eloquent manner, if elo
quence has a place 'in Chinese culture.
Mora singing followed, and Mr.
Hammond having meanwhile arrived
was placed in a buggy, and Wah Loy
mounting beside him, the Evangelist
preached to the Chinamen, the inter
preter, sentence by sentence, trans
lating for him. The Chinese gave
good attention, and nearly all wore
smiling faces. It was a curiosity to
them. Said one:
"All same Melic man, Chinee hab
big meet, all same in street. Bully."
A Novelty In Women' Dress.
" From the Metropolitan.
Since extravagance in stockings has
come back to us again, and silk hosie
ry is almost a criterion of the woman
of fashion, of course something must
be worn to preserve these silken lux
uries from wear and soil, when walk
ing in a dusty and dingy city. Wool
that is knitted may be warm, but it is
not a hindrance to the entrance of Jusf.
It rather holds than rejects the soiling,
while fine broadcloth or velvet, that
is both linen and rubber lined, is a
certain protection against water or
in nd.
Leggings of these . materials are
made to reach up and curve upon the
' knee, and are fitted about the foot
like a gentleman's gaiter, with a strap
under tne toot, lney button up on
tne outside ot tne leg, and are care
fully fitted to" the wearer by front and
back seams. 'They are sometimes
bound on the lower edge with a dark
i'ur, which gives the foot a chubby
and youthful appearance. For spring
wear they are quite as requisite as for
the winter." With a short quilted silk
or satin petticoat and an Ulster coat
of rough cloth, they look very coquet
tish on a cold or stormy day. Any
taay can mafee them tor herself.
They should be fitted like any gar
ment, and alter being bound with
braid, the iet buttons and button
holes may be added.- They should be
adjusted so perfectly that a button
hook would be required to fasten them
over the boot and about the ankle.
Russia is active, and Persia and
mum are aiarmed.

. The Wrong Side of the meridian.
On the down hill side of life. Which an old medi
cal writer quaintly terms "the; wrong side of the
meridian," when the functions decay and the frame
gradually bends under the weight of years, the sys
tem requires to be sustained under the burden j im
posed upen it. Innumerable physical ailments and ,
infirmities then press upon it to which it had been
in earlier life a stranger. The surest and pleasanteet
support and solace of declining years is found in
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, long recognized as the
most wholesome and agreeable of diffusable stlmu- j
lants, the most potent of tonics and alteratives. The j
aged and infirm may place implicit confidence in
this invigorating elixer, which not only checks those j
maladies to which .elderly persons are peculiarly
subject, but in a measure retards the encroachment '
of time upon the constitution.

EIGH T H YSE AS,
THE ALDINE,
THE ART JOURNAL OF AMERICA.
Issued Monthly?
" A Magnificent Conception, wonder
fully carried out."
Tke uoceBoity of a popular medium for the repre
sentaiion cf the productions of our ereat artists,
has always been recognized, and mfty attempts
have been made to meet the want. The successive
failures which so invariably followed each attempt
in this country to establish an art journal, did not
prove the indifference of the people of America to
the claims of high art. So soon as a proper ap
preciation of the want and an ability to meet it were
shown, the public at once rallied with enthusiasm
to its support, and the result was a great artistic
ana commercial uiumpn rum Ai.jjsta.
THE ALDINE, while issued with all the regu
larity, has none of the temporary or timely interest
characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is an ele
gant miscellany of pure, light, and graceful litera
ture; and a collection of pictures, the rarest speci
mens of artistic skill, in black and white. Al
though each succeeding number affords a fresh
pleasure to its friends, the real value and beauty of
THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after it is
bound up at the close of the year, i While other
publications may claim superior cheapness, as com
pared with rivals of a similar class, THE ALDINE
is a a unique and original conception alone and
unapproached absolutely without competition in
price or character. The possessor of a complete
volume can not duplicate the quantity of fine paper
and engravings in any other shape or number of
volumes for ten times its cost; and, there is the
chromo, besides! ,
The national feature of THE ALDINE must be
taken in no narrow sense. True art is cosmopoli
tan. While THE ALDINE is a strictly American
institution, it doi-s not confine itself entirely to the
reproduction of native art. Its mission is to culti
vate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that
will . discriminate only ell grounds of intrinsic
merit. Thus, while placing before the patrons of
THE ALDINE, as a leading characteristic, the pro
ductions of the most noted American artists, atten
tion will always be given to specimens from foreign
masters, giving subscribers all the pleasure and in
struction obtainable from heme or foreign sources.
The artistic illustration of American scenery,
original with THE ALDINE, is an important fea
tute, and its magnificent plates are of a size more
appropriate to the satisfactory treatment of details
than can be afforded by any Inferior page. The
judicious intereperBion of landscape, marine, figure,
and animal subjects, sustain am unabated interest,
impossible where the scope of the work confines
tkert.ist too closely to a single stjle of subject.
The literal ure of THE ALDINE is a light and grace
ful accompaniment, worthy of the artistic features,
with only such technical disquisitions as do not in
terfere with the popular interest of the work. s
