An exceedingly Curious, and, so far
as it indicates the possibilities of Nature,
instructive specimen, is the following :
A soldier was admitted to the hospital
, in Baltimore after one of the Virginia
, battles, with loss of vision in the
J : ' RIGHT EYE,
although the external injury to the or
gan was not remarkable. He could give
no special account of the wound, or of
the course or character of the missile.
It seemed to be one of the ordinary
minor casualties of a battle that occur,
one cannot tell exactly how. The left
eye was slightly prominent, but its func
tions were usimpared. The wound
healed speedily, and the man was per
mitted to go about the city freely on
hospital pass.
More than two months subsequently
he died after an illness of a few days.
An examination then showed that a
. , conoidal ball had entered the skull
through the right eye, and was firmly
lodged close to and directly behind the
left eye, a part of whose bony casing
i was somewhat broken and displaced ;
and that nature had thrown out new
' bone sufficiently to plaster it in its place,
and to nearly close its orifice of entrance.
The immediate cause of death was a
small abscess in the brain where its
special covering rested upon the bullet.
But this must have existed only toward
the close of life ; and one naturally in
quires, "If a bullet can lie for weeks
without occasioning appreciable mis-
. chief or being suspected, why may it
not do so for months V Who can pre
scribe the limits of its existence V
BOMB PUZZLING INCIDENTS
occasionally happened. One man had
his arm broken below, and again above
his elbow, by the same bullet ; which
appears strange, until it is known that
the limb was bent at the time it was
struck. A case may be vouched for
where one bullet made five openings in
the skin and did not break a bone. In
another a ball lodged in the upper part
of the right thigh, and, several months
afterward, it was cut out from near the
left knee. A man at Mine Run had two
pocket-knives shattered and driven into
his thigh. One hundred fragments of
the knives were removed during; life,
and seven after death, of which there is
little donbt that they, and not the bul
let, were the direct cause. At Antietam,
a soldier received a bullet in his open
moutn. Alter tne same battle a soldier
crouched over a loaded shell, crack
ing nuts upon it ; his carelessness
was followed by a speedy explosion and
death.
Accidents of this character, due to ig
norance or folly, were not unfrequent in
the war. One is described thus: A
soldier attempted to solve the question
whether a shell would go off, by placing
it on one side of a large tree while he
from the other side, stretched his arm
around and struck it with a hammer,
expecting to withdraw his hand quickly
enough to avoid injury. The shell and
the arm both went off. The writer once
saw two infantry soldiers, in front of
Richmond, pick up and hurl upon the
ground, a few feet from them, an unex-
ploded shell, to decide whether it was of
tne " time or the " percussion variety.
Raw soldiers are reckless almost beyond
Deiier.

of course, have struck his arm when it
was extended in the same line with the
back, and have followed its long axis.

the injury came from a spent round
shot. He died in about six weeks ; and
the thigh-bone was found broken
and splintered in the middle with
conoidal bullet, itself partly split,
lodged. A small wound, that had long
been closed, was found near the knee ;
and the course of the ball had been so
tortuous that it had collapsed upon it
self, and no discharge had indicated the
track or entrance.
Another Tolar Expedition.
The Russian Geograpical Society is
organizing a scientific expedition to the
Polar Sea. Its object is not only to
reach the North Pole, but also to select
such a route as will give the best oppor
tunities for studying the geography,
climate, and industrial conditions of the
Siberian coasts. The icy sea, which con
tains innumerable islands hitherto nn-
visited by geojrraphers, will be thorough
ly explored, especially from a scientific
and industrial point of view. The course
of the Gulf stream will be carefully fol
lowed, and observations made for the
purpose of discovering the best route
front the mouth of the river Obi for ex
porting the products of Siberia, and of
obtaining a complete knowledge of the
fauna and flora of those regions. Special
attention will also be paid to the fish
eries. A preliminary expedition is to be
sent out as soon as possible to recon
poitre the seas in the vioinity of Nova
Zambia, ... ' 1

Tell-Tale Tomatoes.
" Where did vou eet them tomatoes ?"
asked an old Long Island farmer, the
other morning, of a neighbor whose
real estate yielded a product of nil, and
on which there was not a single tomato
vine. His basket was full of very fine
ripe specimens, which the farmer thought
ne recognized, it wasn t the first time
that suspicions of his impecunious neigh
bor's honesty had arisen in his mind.
" W here did you get em r"
" Bought em."
" Who did you buy 'em of Tt"
" Bill Van Brunt, on Crow Hill."
" Ah I let ns look at your hands."
With his basket on his arm. he held
out both hands for examination.
n nat ao you want to look at mv
hands for ? There ain't nothing on to
'em."
The old farmer was washing: his own
hands at the time in a tin basin of rain
water, with a wooden bowl of curdled
brown soft-soap before him.
"JNo, there ain't nothing on em that
you can see; but look a Dure, set down
your basket and wash 'em. It's werv
cooling, and your face and hands looks
not."
So saying, he emptied the basin, filled
it with cold water, pointed to the soan
dish, and relieved the bearer of his bas
ket.
The first immersion and friction of the
hands in the water let the cat out of the
bag. It at once turned green ; grew
greener and greener every second, and
at length was an intense dark green.
"Here, Jim," said the old farmer to
his tow-headed son, " take in this bas
ket and empty it, and bring it out agin."
Then turning to his honest neighbor, he
said:
" You hooked them tomatoes from my
patch not half an hour ago. Three or
four of the top ones I knew in a minute.
Here's your basket."
If any reader would test this discov
ery of a theft, let him pick one or two
tomatoes, separating the vines with his
naked hand, and then wash it. There is
a mysterious something about the plant,
perfectly colorless, that instantly im
parts the green, which cannot be seen
until water removes it.
Punishment of the Wheel.
The punishment of the wheel, which
was suppressed in 1790, was one of the
most frightful that can be imagined.
The criminal was extended on a St. An
drew's cross. There were on it eight
niches cut, one below each arm between
the elbow and wrist ; another between
the elbow and the Bhoulder; one under
each thigh, and one under each leg. The
executioner, armed with a heavy triang
ular bar of iron,' gave a violent blow on
each of these eight places, and of course
broke the bone ; and a ninth on the pit
of the stomaoh. The mangled victim
was then lifted from the cross and
stretched on a small wheel, placed ver
tically at one of the ends of the cross,
his back on the upper part of the wheel,
his head and foet hanging down. The
sentence provided that he should remain
there as long as it pleased God to pro
long his life. Many lingered there five
or six hours, some longer. A son of a
jeweller in the Place de la Dauphine,
who had murdered his father, was only
relieved by death at the end of twenty
four hours. These unhappy wretches,
often uttering horrible blasphemies, are
always tormented by a continual thirst,
incessantly calling for something to
drink. A priest never left their side du
ring the excruciating agony, but inces
santly put water to their parched lips,
wiped the sweat from their burning
brows, and pointed to a merciful God
above the scaffold, extending his arms
to receive them. This holy duty was al
ways aiscuargea by a doctor of tne bor
bonne. -

A Wisconsin Man Married to a Woman
He llas Never Seen,
The following is vouched for by one
G. B. Taylor, a correspondent of the
Green Bay Gazette, a Wisconsin paper :
Mr. William it nice, a gentleman liv
ing in comfortable circumstances on the
bank of Buamico river, in Huamioo,
Brown County, Wis., is highly respected
by the community in which he lives, as
has been evinced by his being elected,
from time to time, to fill most of the va
rious township offices. He has also en
joyed mof t of the blessings of life, being
in good health and peoumary circum
stances, having a valuable farm and a
pleasant home. Butone thing was lack
ing to make home all gladness a help
meet to share with him the joys of the
household.
Last winter his niece from Pennsylva
nia visited him, and discovering his
want, gave him the address of a lady
friend of hers, living at Lynn, Susque
hanna county, a., and recommended
her as one in every way suitable to
adorn his home. Her name is Mary
Knapp, who was consort of the late
venerable Justus Enapp, of Lynn, Pa.
She is an intelligent, cultivated, and
highly respectable lady, and beloved by
all who knew her. A correspondence
immediately sprang up between them,
and love grew and thrived, even through
a medium as matter of fact as Uncle
Sam's mails, and finally resulted in an
engagement, About this time her af
fianced had an attack of neuralgia that
settled in his eyes, and so affected them
that within four months after they bad
become engaged he was almost totally
blind. Though he had become very
much attached to her through the me
dium of the correspondence, yet a sense
of duty led him to inform her of his
misfortune, and to extend an offer to re
lease her from her engagement. There
upon she wrote him a very kind and
sympathetic letter, in which she stated
that if he were doomed to suffer for life
the awful affliction of blindness, he was
much more than ever in need of a wife
to care for him through life, and lighten
the burden of his dark and dismal pil
grimage upon earth ; and, therefore,
that she had no desire to be released
from the solemn compact of marriage
which she had taken.
A few weeks ago the expectant bride
arrived, and the meeting with the be
trothed was warm and affectionate, but,
of course, somewhat disadvantageous.
Soon afterward I accompanied him to
the Eye Infirmary, at Chicago, to learn
if any relief from his blindness could be
afforded; but no encouragemont was
given. Professor Holmes pronounced it
dropsy of the eye, a disease so far ad
vanced as to admit of no hopes of recov
ery. Returning home with a sad and
heavy heart, this fate was disclosed to
his bride and relatives. Though touched
to tne heart with sorrow, yet even this
did not dissuade her from the noble pur
pose to assume for life the burden to
care for one who bad suddenly become
as helpless as a child, but who had spent
many years in active toil.
The wedding day was appointed, and
the nuptials were celebrated August 8,
1871, by whioh time he had become, it
may be said, totally blind, not having
sight enough to enable him to distin
guish one from another of his own fami
ly. The pair, however, are now living
in connubial bliss. And why shouldn't
they?
Something M'rong with Jupiter.
Mr. Proctor, in an article in St. P mi's
Magazine, says : During the past two
years the planet Jupiter has presented
an extraordinary appearance. The great
equatorial belt, which is usually white,
has been sometimes ruddy, sometimes
orange, then coppery, ocherish, greenish
yellow, and, in fact, has paseed through
a number of hues, mostly tints of red
and yellow ; but has at no time, so far as
observation has shown, exhibited what
may be sailed its normal tint. Then,
again, this belt, and the two belts on
either side of it, have changed very rap.
idly in form; great dark projections
have been nung (L speak always ot ap
pearances) into the great equatorial belt,
which has thus seemed at times to be
divided into a number of ovals. The
whole aspect of the planet has suggested
the idea that mighty processes are ut
work, tending to modify, in a most re.
markable manner, the condition of the
planet's atmospheric envelope.
.Now, it certainly is a remarkable cir
cumstance, that at the very time when
Jupiter has thus been disturbed, the so
lar atmospheric envelope has also been
subject to an exceptional degree of dis
turbance. As most of my readers know,
the face of the sun has been mark, d by
many spots during the last twenty or
thirty months ; some of these spots have
been of enormous magnitude, even so
large as to be clearly visible to the naked
eye, and the spots have been of such a
nature, so long lasting and so variable
in figure as to imply the action of long
continued processes of disturbance act
ing with extraordinary violenoe. It
may seem at first that the very circum
stances of the case should prevent us
from tracing any connection whatever
between the solar disturbances and that
which seems to be taking place in the
atmospheric envelope of Jupiter. Two
orbs separated, as the sun and Jupiter
are, by an interval of about tour nun'
dred and fifty millions of miles, cannot
be simultaneouely affected, it would
seem, by any disturbing forces. Nay,
more it seems so reasuuuuje u iuict
that both in the case of Jupiter and of
v . i r..
the sun, the forces at work to produce
change lie far beneath the atinoBpherio
envelope of either planet, so that the
idea appears at once disposed of that
these forces can operate simultaneously
except by mere coincidence.
Poisoned Whiskey.
The Philadelphia Price Current says
" Western distillers have recently in
vented a new method of manufacturing
whiskey by means of which a peculiar
strength and odor are imparted to the
product, highly injurious to tne neaitu
of consumers. Neither the noxious in
gredients themselves nor the process of
manufacturing are known to many out
side the " ring," but sufficient is known
to show the character of the business.
Sulphurio acid is added to the mash or
applied directly to the product of the
stills, whioh imparts a disagreeable odor
to the whiskey, and is so powerful in its
effect that it eats up the inside of the
barrels in which the compound is kept,
Another feature of this whiskey is that
it cannot be extracted by any process of
distillation, redistillation or rectification
By experiment it has Wen shown that
U a small juwe u& iruu ur wyvt to iu
serted into a barrel of whiskey adulter
ated with tlis acid, the entire mass will
be instantly blackened, and if left for
short time a large quantity of disacetate
of copper or verdigris will be evolved.
FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Carbolic Acid and PorLTRT.-Of the
many discoveries which science has given
to the present age, no one article has so
rapidly grown into favor rs carbolio
acid a product of the distillation of
tar for the production of naphtha, ben
zole, eto. Its chemical properties are
numerous ; it is alike an antiseptic and
disinfectant, and, too, whenever and
wherever brought into contact with
them, is certain death to all kinds of
insects. It is a poison, but only mod
erately so to the human system yet
from some peculiarity of its nature, is
intensely destructive to insect life. And
to this point, in connection with poultry
and poultry-houses, we desire to direct
the attention of our readers.
All amateur and poultry breeders are
but too well a are that parasites are
the pests of poultry-houses, more
especially in towns and cities, where
poultry are kept within confined limits.
Without, as the owner thinks, any real
cause, the fowls begin to droop and look
sickly, and after a while one by one die
off. He then becomes alarmed ; exam
ines them and finds them covered with
parasites ; he looks into his fowl house
and examines the creaks and chinks in
the boards, and finds them filled with in
sects. He is astonished ; he cannot ac
count for it; and then the question
arises in his mind : How can I get rid
of them? Scores of times within the
last few months has this question been
asked of us, and our answer invariably
has been, use carbolic acid.
But how to use it is a matter of im
portance. There can be no doubt about
its efficacy, but it becomes every one to
exercise care in handling it. The acid
is sold by all druggists in it crystalline
and liquid form. In crystals, it dissolves
in twenty times its weight of water ;
that is, one ounce of the crystals re
quires twenty ounces of water to dissolve
them. Thus dissolved, it is entirely too
strong for any ordinary use. Dr. Em
erson gives recipes for preparing this
powder for disinfecting and other pur
poses. As a whitewash for walls, for
protection against insects, bugs, etc., he
says : " Put three ounces of carbolio
acid into twelve quarts of lime water or
whitewash. Whitewash the walls of the
poultry house well with this wash, and
no living parasites will be seen their
death is inevitable. A weak solution
may be made to wash fowls in ; one
part of the acid to fifty parts of warm
water ; let it cool, then dip the fowls in
until the feathers become thoroughly
wet and the solution reaches all parts
of the body. Afterwards place the fowls
on clean, dry straw, where the Bun will
reach them, until they are dry. Another
form in which it is recommended to use
it is in soap. These soaps are for sale
by various manufacturers, and have a
high reputation for cleansing animals
and the cure of skin diseases. A mode
of making this soap is as follows : Dis
solve eight pounds common bar soap in
hot water, add two to lour ounces ot
carbolio acid, according to the desired
trength. Allow to cool as usual in
making hard soap. As these prepara
tions may be bought ready prepared,
and as carbolic acid is by no means a
safe article to keep about the house, we
would advise persons to buy rather than
attempt to make them, except in the
case of whitewash, when they must get
the pure article and dilute it. Cana

Growing Pond Lilies. On seeing
my dish of pond lilies, and admiring
their beauty and fragrance, I asked
" Why is the pond lily so little cultivat
ed V a flower so much admired and so
easily grown, yet in many places so
rare." The answer was : " It is not
universally known that it can be grown
so easily. Many ask the question:
" Where did you get those pond lilies ?"
We tell them that we raise them.
" What I raise pond lilies r We reply :
" Yes ; raise them aB easily as corn or
potatoes." And as many seem interest
ed about them, I thought we would tell
the lovers of flowers how we raised ours :
A few years ago, my husband seeing
some growing in a distant pond so
nicely and spontaneously, thought he
would try them in his a small pond,
of a few rods' extent, at one end of his
field. He brought home a root and set
it in. This was done by wading in
barefoot, and taking it between the toes,
and pressing down in the mud. It
soon made its appearance above the
water, and now the pond is pretty well
covered with leaves ard lilies, and it does
not have that sickening appearance that
standing water usually has, but is made
the home ot one ot the most beautitui
kinds of flowers instead. We know of
no insect that troubles them ; neither
frost nor wind affects them ; nothing
molests them but mischievous boys, who
love the flowers, but will take no pains
to raise them themselves. Now, I would
advise all who love this sweet lily to get
a root and set it in some pond that they
can have access to, and they will soon
reap a rich reward tor their little
trouble. Maine Farmer.
Observations on SnoEiNo. No per
son should ever allow his horse to be
shod by a farrier who employs or keeps
in his shop the knife used in cutting
away the hoof, sharpened like a small
shovel and usually braced against the
shoulder. The Almighty designed the
frog as an elastic, insensible cushion, on
which the horse should walk, as do the
fowls and some animals; yet black
smiths delight in cutting away the most
useful part, and thereby expose that
which is sensitive to contact with hard
road. No greater folly can be iinagin
ed, and to a reasonable man it only re
quires to be noticed to make the error
self-apparent. The blacksmith will argue
that he must cut away the rags, and
sometimes is so ignorant as to declare
they cut away the frog to prevent the
very object' of its creation. The frog
should never be cut, or any portion
it allowed to take its natural mrae
becomes a perfect safety stand :ii l pro

How to Get Work Done on a
Farm. Every farmer is at times op
pressed with a sense of the overwhelm
ing number of things that requires to ba
done. We have Been a nervous man in
such circumstances commence oue job,
and before he had got fairly started
abandon it for something that seemed
more pressing, merely to leave this in the
same unfinished state ; and when night
came he had accomplished little or noth
ing, and passed hours tossing about on a
sleepless bed thinking what be should
do on the morrow. A young farmer
could not adopt a better rult than to
repeat himself every morning, "What
soever thy band findeth to do, do it with
thy might," and act upon it. When a
job is commenced, finish it before be-
ginning another ; but at the same time Every organ demands sustenance ana

The Continental Nary. 1
The war of the Revolution was begun

The first naval battle took plaoe about
three weeks after the battle of Lexing

have caused the striking of the first

in many respects different from the pres
ent. In their dress there was but little
show or grandeur. They wore small
cocked hats, without luce ; hair pow
dered and curled ; coats with ample
skirts and foul-anchor buttons ; ' small
clothes, hoie and shoes. Their dignity
and sternness, when they aimed at any,
was not before their countrymen, but be
fore the enemy. They hud not been
bred originally for drawing-room and
courtly display ; but they had no de
ficiency in polished circles when called
to the exercises of their rules and usages.
