Buffalo Banting. The half-breeds ol portiouzof British America organize regular huufct, auil on such occasions they take all t|relr household effects with them. The wo men and children are stowed away in rude carts, and the men ride the mus tangs which are to play so prominent a part In the chase. As the long calva cade winds over the grass-clad prairie, made gay with many species of bril i ant llowers, it presents an inspiriting sight, and recalls, in a small way, the advance of an army. When it reaches the buffalo grounds a camp is pitched in a convenient locality, close to wood and water, if possible, and, alter that is done, the leader takes his men to tue leeward of a herd, and distributes them in such a manner that they may be able to drive it toward the eneampmen*, in older to avoid s; a o is ini.cli is p>i sibie ingathering up the meat, ihey some, imas place buffalo 'chip-*' msuch a manuei ou the praries as to make them lock like men, and, when the herd see* these, it breaks away lroiu them, and heads perhaps for the camp, where an. oilier party of hunters Is ready to re eeive it. When everything is arranged the men close in gradually 011 the thousands of shaggy creatures that del the plum, probably is far as the eye can see,and, on arriving within charg ing distance, they dash on at the bes 1 speed of their horses. Then commences a scene to which uo pencil can do lull justice. Tlio alarmed through, on see- L g their toes, break away in wild ter ror. the cows being generally at the head oft ho column, owing to their great fleetness and lightness and the calves being next to them, while the burly bulls close the rear and lianas. This terrified host caused the ground to fairly tremble beneath Its weight, and the noise of its, movements may be heard a long distance off, as It is not uulike the roai of an advancing hur ricane. When the hunters range alongside the crowding multitude they use rifle and revolver so ragidly that the noise sounds like the firing ot a heavy body of skirmishers. Ihey re* quire few shots to kill an animal, one or two being generally sufficient; tor their trained buffalo runners carry them so close to the herd that a bullet can be planted in whatever portion ol the body the hunter wishes. The re sult Is that, in a run ot perhaps twenty miles, a thousand or two animals may be lying on the ground, and in some instances double that number. When the recall is sounded, the horsemen re turn and devote their attention to the wounded, and soon put them out ol their misery. The carts follow the hunters and gather up the meat, and the greater portion of that Is, in a tew hours, ready to be placed on the dry ing stages, while the hides are being prepared for curing. When the ex pedition returns after the grand hunt, which sometimes lasts for weeks, its members have meat enough to feed them for several mouths, and many a buffalo robe with which to provide clothing and luxuries for their families. A Gluttonous Eagle. Eagles frequent the forests of the higher S erra. When the winter stores prevail, they must have a serious time in getting food, it is scarcely to be wondered at, therefore, that one was lound recently feeding upon the body ot a cow that was killed on the Sierra Valley road. This cow, became crazed by the storm, aud'.os&ed the horses, sleigh driver and a lady passenger of Dar ling's mall sleigli out of the road into the snow. For this she was killed, and the eagle was found by her partly con sumed carcass. Mr. ilines of the Ban ner mill, and another passenger were coming in from the valley 0:1 the mail sleigh, and noticing that the eagle did not fly away, attempted to frighten it. They then discovered that the bird bad actually glutted it self until it was un able to fly. Mr. ilines tried to catch lr. fn order to bring it alive to Truckee. linking waist deep in the loose snow at every step, Mr. Ilines could make but a sorry pursuit, and tiie eagle, b\ flapping its great wings and vigorous ly using its beak and talon 2, managed to keep out of his reach, lie followed it for some time, and once or twice came iicux* overtaking it. There was a revol ver in the sleigh, but the men very humanely forcbore to use it against the poor bird. They describe the eagic as being very large and powerful, and as having magnificent wings. A Woiiuerful Mcsuierizer. Stiange stories come from InJia of the feats performed by a native ine*- merizur named Buni, whose magnetic power would appear to be lound quite irresistible by the lower animals, upon which he exclusively exerts it. lie gives seances, to which the public are Invited to bring all manner of ferocious and untamable wild beasts, and holds them with his glittering eye. In a few seconds they subside into a condition ot cataleptic stiffness from which they can ouly be revived by certain passes which he solemnly executes with hi* right hand. A snake in a state of vio lent irritation was brought to Buni by a menagerie proprietor, inclosed in a wooden cage. When deposited on the platform it was writhing and hissing fiercely. Buni bent over the cage and fixed his eyes upon its occupant, gently waving his hand over the serpent's restless head. In less than a minute the I snake stretched itself out, stiffened and j lay apparently dead. Buni took it up | and thrust several needles into its body, bHt it gave no sign of life. A few passes then restored it to its former angry activity. Subsequently a savage dog, held in a leasli bjr its owner, was brought in, and, at Buni's command, let loose upon him. As it w r a rushing towards him, bristling w r ith fury, he raised his hand, and in a second the fierce brute dropped upon its belly as though stricken by lightning. It seem ed absolutely paralyzed by some un known agency, was to move a muscle until released from the mesuiei izer's spell by a majestic wave of his hand. AGRICULTURE. USINO rr OLD TIN CANS.—Collect all the caus you may require, say lOOquait cans; prepare a brigtitflre in the kitch en stove, and have the cans close at hand. Have a cloth In each hand; plaee a can 011 the stove lid, and when the solder which holds the top or bot tom to the body begins to melt, place a can ou the other lid and remove the first one, and with an old kniie, old tile, stove-lifter, or anything at hand, knock oil' whichever end you may have placed next the fire. In most cases it will drop oil'. With the cloth in the left hand hold a can, and with the right hand wipe the melted solder from the inside and outside of the edge quickly beiore it sets. Remove the next can ami replace it with another, and repeat the operation until both ends ol the 100 cans are freed Horn their tops and bot toms. You now have 100 tubes, 4\ inches long by 4 inches In di-tmeter, lnosu 100 tubes can, with but little j skill, bo converted into Ui leet i> inches of 4-inch drain-pipe, which, to a farmer or house owner, would bo worth more than the original cost of 100 cans tilled with tomatoes, in order to prepare them so that the end of one tube will outer oue-iourth of an inch inside ol the other, take a tube in the left hand, place one edge over the corner ola nine tabic, if nothing more convenient is at hand, and with u mallet, hammer, lor a piece of slick, hammer the edge 1 downward, turning the tube regularly I every stroke, l'lace tlie other edge ol I the tube on the edge of the table and 1 strike it lroiu the inside, turning rcg ' ulailv. By this opeiattcu one end will ) be crimped, and iho oilier enlarged. I It requires but little enlargement to I make one end enter and adui t ol being 1 driven lighilv into the other. They ! should be put together i* lengths of six 1 tula's. The seams should not come on a line with each other. To insure {strength tire joints might bo taeaed with a soldering iron, but if they art forced tightly together they will be : water-tight. A coat ol common paint, j or tar, inside and outside, would make this pipe latt lor years underground, and il properly packed in the earth it ! will have ample strength to resist ex ternal pressure. Enough tine solder | can be saved from w hat is wiped ott't lie ■ joiuts to mend all the household tin ware lor a lifetime. CULTIVATE MURK Tuuxira.—We all know the value of the turnip crop to England. It has been asserted that the interest of their immense debt is an nually paid by the product of this erop. As to the United States, we do not make hull the use of tne turnip we might do, by increasing tiie consumption of the root and improvement in the manner 01 its cultivation. The great want ol our winter-feed for cattle in succulence. We some whit obviate this want by using cut-feed moistened, but as a gen eral thing hay and oats and corn and water lonu the bulk of cattle-food. Carrots, potatoes, rutabages and tur nips are used at times, but to a very iimited extent to what they might be. One reason tor this limited use may be in our old enemy, dear labor. In the culture of the carrot, lor instance, there is a great amount of hand-work. As soon as the seeds are up, the plants must be thinned, and alter every hoe harrowing between the rows, hands must go over again to keep the rank weeds from smothering out the carrot plants. Carrots are excellent horse feed ; but few of us have this hand labor to spare. It is so much easier to hoe com in the hills both ways; though we know how nice it is to have carrots with corn, corn aloue has to do the work, lliere is the same trouble with the turnip, though iu a less degree to be sure. Every single turnip lias to be handled in pulling, every one has to be gone over again and handled to take the top off. If we could manage to do this by machinery, as we do many other things, so as to get rid of this hand-labor business, no doubt the pro duction would soon be doubled, and use be found for an immense number more thati is now dreamed 01. This may come in time, for Yankee genius is equal io any ad vat ot incut in tiiol use your caustic again tinder leu days. If you see anything like fistula matter in ten days, use your caustic ae before. When you operate get some old cloths to wipe off the pus that runs out, or It will lake the nair off the side of tiie horse. Keep the sore weli cleansed. L have cured a number of cases of fistula with the above; also, poll evil. In tact, poll evil and fistula are the same disease. A ATS. —When these insects are trou blesome in tiie garden fill small bottles two-thirds with water, and then add sweet oil to within an inch of the top; plunge these into the ground near the nests or hills, to within half an inch ol the rim, and the insects coining for a sip will get into the oil and perish, as it tills the breathing pores. The wri ter once entrapped in a pantry myriads ot red ants in a shallow tin cover, smeared with lard, the vessel having accidentially been left in their track. Another means of entrapping them, suggested to me by Professor Glover, many years ago, is to spilnkle sugar into a dampened sponge near their haunts to attract the insects. When they have swarmed through the sponge ii is squeezed in hot water, and the trap is reset until the majority of the insects are killed. AN old lady, whose son was about to proceed to the Black Sea, among her parting admonitions gave him strict in junctions not to bathe in that sea, for she did not want him to come home a "nigger."

Relation of the Liver to the General Sys tem. —Professor LeCoute expresses his believe that the waste tissue is curried by the blood to the liver, and is there separated into liver-sugar and urea, or some substance which rapidly changes into urea. Experiments made by Schifl support this theory by proving tliat venous blood is soon fatal to animals il the liver is tied,but is not so it the liver is free to act, the poisoning being slue to decomposed tissues in the blood. Combustion take place in the capilla ries of the tissues under the influence ot venous force, as the blood remains for a longer time in the capillaries of the tissue than in any other organ. The blood acts as a reservoir not only of oxygen but of food, and, if waste, (he food taken in to-day is not used to build up tissue to-day, but is taken into circulation in the blood uud the blood forms tissue and regenerates Itelf from the supply of food—so tissue waited to-day is carried by the Hood to the liver, there decomposed into sugar and urea, and so elirnina e I perhaps the day after, or even longer. —John Battle died in Montreal the other day, aged 112. t * COMMON SENSE and the science ol chemistry when applied to butter mak ing, reduce the time of churning one half, inciease the product ff per cent., the quality of the product 20 per cent., aud give a rich golden color to the but ter the year round.
