The steamboat Arabian sank in
this Missouri river near Kansas City
twenty-two years ago with eight hun
dred barrels of whisky on board. Geo.
Tread way noted the exact spot, and
subsequently bought the cargo at a
small price, intending to raise it, but
was never able to carry out the pro
ject. The course of the river has since
changed and the whisky, which now
lies about forty feet under the sand, is
soon to be dug for.
A new six inch pipe line, with a

William Lown, 15 years old, of
Mongaup, N. Y., met a horrible death
a few days ago. He was out in the
woods assisting his father in sawing

wedge was used in order that the log
might bo severed more quickly. The
log broke away from its fastening and
being on a side hill, rolled rapidly to
the bottom. The boy stood within a
few feet of the log, and before he could
get out of the way it rolled over him,
crushing him into a shapeless mass,
causing instant death.
A fearful fight occurred on Thurs

This Is Leap Year Why?
When the number of the year Is di
visible by four It is Leap Year, and such
is the case with 1880. Just about the
time, this, the March number of the
American Agriculturist reaches Its
readers, perhaps whllo thousands of
boys and girls are looking over its
pages, and even reading this very ar
ticle, it will be the 29 of February the
Leap Year Day, that conies only once
in four years. Nearly a year ago we
saw a little girl then about three years
old who had never had an anniversary
of her birthday; but this year she will
have one, and we hope it will be big
enough to make up for all the misfor
tunes of being born on the 29th of the
shortest month of the year.
"Leap Year," we have been told, i
"is an odd year;" but it has just been
shown that it is altogether even. Why
is It odd? we may ask, and the reply
comes, "It is the year when the boys
are girls and the girls are boys, and
everything Is turned around." O!
yes, we begin to see! They have "leap
year parties," and "leap year rides,"
and "leap year this and that," and the
girls do the inviting, and driving, and
managing, and many of the "com
pany" things which tho boys claim
for their own on other and ordinary
years. It is said tnat sucn matters are
sometimes even carried so far that the
young lady proposes to the young gen
tleman of her choice, and he has the
privilege of accepting or refusing as he
sees fit. Well! we will admit it is an
odd year, though it is even all the
same. Hut why ao we nave leap
years? There must bo some good
reason for adding one day to every
fourth year as it comes around to us.
What is it?
The earth moves around the sun
once a year, as you all nave learned
from your geography. The time re
quired tor the earth to pass around
and return to the place from which it
started is called a xoltw or sun year
the year made by the heavenly bodies.
Iu olden times, men did not know
that the earth moved around the sun.
If there was any moving it was done
by the sun they thought ; ami it did
aeon to move. To this day we all say
the sun rises and si.ts. Knowing so
little about the revolution of the earth
it was very hard for men to arrange
the divisions of time so that they
would correspond with the solar year.
The civil year is the one made by man
and like many human things, it was
at first very imperfect that is, the
civil year and solar year did not cor
respond very closely. In the time of
Julius Ciesar, the t wo kinds of years
had got so out of place that the spring
of the civil year came in midsummer.
To use an illustration, we will have
two cog wheels that work into each
other. If both wheels are in all res
pects alike, the same places will
always come together at each revolu
tion; but suppose one wheel Is a trille
smaller than the other, the wheel re
presenting the civil year smaller than
the one of the solar year, then any
points once together will keep getting
farther apart. This was just the trou
ble between man's year and the nat
ural year. Ciesar rearranged the civil
year in 10 before Christ,and introduced
the system of having three years of
805 days and then one of 300 the ad
ditional day being given to February.
Tho solar year is 305 days, 5 hours, 48
minutes 49 J seconds, so that Ciesar's
year of 3) days, averaging the four,
is about 11 minutes too long. The
point is to get these two years; the
year of the heavens which wo can not
alter, and the year of the almanacs to
agree. Matters went on as they had
been started by Julius Ciesar, with a
loss of 11 minutes a year until 158
over sixteen hundred years, when it
became evident that the little yearly
loss was too great and must be reme
died. How could this be done was the
question. At this time a Pope took
the matter up it was a time when
Popes had great temporal power and
decreed that the fifth of October be
called the 15th, and all the interven
ing days to be cancelled. This only
set matters right lor the time being,
but the same Pope, Gregory XIII
made it a rule that tho century years
not divisible by eight be not leap years.
Thus 1700, 1800, aud 1900 are no leap
years, according to tho new rule.
Tills omits three leap years m every
400 years. With this arrangement
the civil and solar years almost coin
cide, the solar, exceeding by only
seconds, or a day in about 4,000 years
a matter too small to need attention.
Those who followed us through, and
we fear it has been rather dry for the
younger readers, will see that it lias
been quite a hard matter to bring
things around straight. The leap
year comes from the fact that there is
a fraction of a day in the solar year
which would not be convenient to
have in the civil, so we nut enough of
the fractions together to make a day
and have the extra one on the leap
year, or every fourth year. American

Tho Supreme Court of Mass. has
set aside the verdict of manslaughter
found In the case of Charles II. Hart
well, conductor of the freight train
which, It was alleged, caused the Wol
laston disaster on the Old Colony rail
road, In October, 1878.
m '
On Saturday A. M. last a freight
train on the B. N. Y. A P. R. R. when
about two miles east of Larrabee
struck a man laying on the track cut
ting off one of his arms just abov tho
elbow and throwing him off the track.
Tho man picked himself up, but left
his arm laying on the track, and
walked to Larrabee. A doctor was
sent for who amputated the arm near

The belief has been current of late
years that the dreadful habit of tight
lacing is out of fashion, but there is
reason to fear that it is not so much an
evil of the past as has been supposed.
A painful Impression lias lately pre
vailed that" a young married lady,
moving in very fashionable New York
society, whose death occurred not long
since, was a victim to the pernicious
practice, and those very well qualified
to form an opinion aver that there are
many who pursue it. The Lancet
quite lately remarked on this subject:
"Surely enough has been said as to
tight lacing to mako it plain that dan
ger must attend the process. The
notion of improving nature by forcing
tho feet into tight boots, and the divers
other devices with which fashion be
guiles the love of personal embellish
ment, are sufficiently monstrous; but
the audacity of attempting to compress
the trunk, which contains the central
organs of life, for the sake of appear
ance, surpasses belief. Perhaps the
recent death from tight lacing, in
which the heart was found to be so
impeded in its action as to render life
impracticable, may have some deter
rent effect; but we doubt it. Fashion
will prevail, and wasp-like waists will
be cultivated in defiance of nature."
The famine in Ireland is raging
most severely in tho five counties
which are situated in the northern
part of the island. The chief cause
of the distress in these districts
is the failure of the corn and
potato crops which wero ruined by tho
heavy rains of the first half of last
year. The people along the northern
coast have little to expect from the
crops as the soil is very sterile. They
depend almost entirely for subsistanco
on tlie fisheries, but these also failed
last year. The latest estimate places
the number of people now suffering
from famine, at a quarter of a million.
There is apprehension that American
contributions will now fall off because
of the report that sufficient has alreaey
been. received to relieve tlie distress.
It should bo remembered however
that this relief cannot be more than
temporary and that the people must
have external asssitance until they
are aide to help themselves. Harris-

In AVer's Sahsapaiulla. It Is the
most potent of all the alternatives to
purify the system and dense the blood.
It possesses invigorating qualities, so
that it stimulates the faded vitalities
and purges out the corruptions which
mingle with the blood, promoting de

sured by many intelligent physicians
that this medicine cures beyond all
others of its kind, and we can fortify
this statement by our own experience.
