"Grossest Man fa Alabama,''
"Do orosicat man lu Alabama lives
ilar," said tho driver as wo approached
n waysldo homo, near Salcma, Ala., to
ask accommodations (or the night. At
supper, and after it, ''mlno host scowled
at ovory one, found fault with every
thing earthly, and I was wondering if
ho would not growl If tho heavenly
halo didn't fit him, when incidental
mention being mado of tho comet of
18R2, ho said: "I didn't liko Its form,
Its tail should have been fan shaped 1"
But, next morning, ho appeared half
offended at our offering pay for his
hospitality 1 My companion, howovor,
mado him accept as a present a sample
from his caso of goods.
Six weeks later, I drew up at the
samo house. Tho planter stepped
lithely from tho porch, and greeted mo
cordially. I could scatcoty beliovothat
tliis clear compcxioned, bright-oyed,
animated fellow, and tho moroso being
of a few weeks back, were the same.
Ho inquired after my companion of tho
former visit and regretted ho was not
with me. "Yes,'1 said his wife, "'wo
aro both much indebted to him."
"How t" I asked, in surprise.
'For this wonderful change in my
husband. Your friend when leaving,
handed him a bottlo of Warner's safo
euro. Ho look it, and two other bot
tles, and now " "And now," ho broke
in, "from an ill-feeling, growling old

The Bemoval of Fences.
A Maino farmer is reported as put'
ting tho caso thus strongly in favor of
tno abolution ot fences: Jt i baa my
war I wouldn't havo a fenco on my
farm. There aro over 64,000 farmers
in Maine. Thcso farms havo in tho
aggregate over 42,000,000 rods of fence'
. n. efr MM. ! - ! .....
or nsiug ii,uuu nines, xuib is um-
sido of ornamental fences and does not
include some 5,000 miles or moro
of railroad fencing. There aro 11,000
rods of highway fencing, 1C,000,000
rods of partition fences, and somo 15,
000,000 rods of division fences. Esti
mating tho cost of these fences at $1
per rod, and that would, I think, bo a
fair estimate, and tho total cost of
fonccs in Maine is over $42,000,000.
This is nearly as much as all tho farms
and their buildings aro worth. It
is more than twice and a half the value
of all our live stock and nearly as
much as tho entire capital of the state
invested in manufactures.
We have no means of verifying the
statistics here presented, but it is fair
to presume that they are measurably
correct. The immense saving to agri
culture that would follow the removal
of fences, as suggested In tho forego
ing remarks, is surely a matter worthy
of consideration. A work of this kind
has been going on for somo years in
small towns and villages where froot
yard fences have been discarded,
and often the rear and side fences as
well. In most States the laws in re
gard to cattle and other animals found
at large, if enforced, are sufficient to
protect unenclosed grounds from depre
dation from this source. If it came to be
the general practice to trust to these laws
entirely and promptly punish violations
of them it would soon be quite unnec
essary to go to the expenso of build
ing fences around lawns and gardens.
Tbe expenso of keeping cattle in
bounds, or compelling them to bo kept
there, would be insigniGcant in com
parison with tho amount spent in build
ing fences mainly for the purpose of
protection. While it seems idle to talk
of dispensing with fences altogether,
it appears as though it would be entire
ly'practica'ble to do away with them
except for the purpose of limiting tbe
ran go of domestic animals. If the
grazing lands, yards and pens for cows,
sheep, eta, were securely guarded there
would seem no longer any need of div
ision and highway fences, nor of parti
tion fences intended merely as such.
The farms in many parts of tho
country are divided up to a muob
greater extent than is necessary in any
case. In places wcero the ground is
very stony, about the only way to dis
pose of the surplus rocks and cobbles
is to build them up in walls, and this
may sometimes afford a sufficient ex
cuse for cutting np a farm into a great
number of small enclosures. But
where such reasons are not to bo ad
duced, it appears like a waste of time
and labor to divide up a small farm
into three and five and ten-acre lots.
It costs money to obtain tbe materia!
and pnt up tbe fences; it costs to keep
them in repair, and last but not least
it costs time and labor to let down and
put np a pair of bars every few rods in
going from ono part of tbe farm
to another. And then there is the
waste of land that always goes with
fences. If the farmer who computed
tho statistics wo havo quoted had ad
ded to them the amount, in acres, of
land rendered useless by the proximity
ot fences, una thus practically with
drawn from tho area of tillable soil, tho
results of his computation would have
been still more astonishing. Espec
ially sowould they bo in a district where
the zigzag rail fences aro still in fash
ion. But even with tho best construc
tion and tbo most skill and oare in
cultivation, there is always a wide
border of land ilong every ferco that
is practically wasted. And to these
Items are to bo added the trouble and
annoyance of uultivatiug small enclos
ures, the difficulty of ploughing them
properly, following all thu turns and
sharp corners, and the damage to such
crops as corn am potatoes that is
almost unavoidablii wlicie tho rows are
short and crooked and thu d.n t un
done close up to the lences. Wlieri'
horse cultivator U used in such small
fields the growing crop must alwnyi
suffer more or less damage lit tiainiliiu
Other reasons than tin u might be iv. n
why fences are often a piwiilve lo to
the farmer and n hindrance to tint stiu
ccssful cultivation of Ids lund. Without
going so lar as to say. with the Mnini'
farmer, that fence should bo discarded
altogether, it certainly se ins as thougli
itwouldbea measure of wisdom and
economy to havo as few of tliem as pn.
siblo and restrict their uso mainly to en
closures for stock and grazing purposes.

A Million Dollars Unaccountep For at tlic
New Orl cans Mint.
A recent paper contnlns n slntcmcnt
that over 1,000,000 havo been coined
at tho Now Orleans Mint of which
thuro U no olllolal rocord. Tho coin
ago net of 1873 mado it tho duty of
thu Director of tho .Mint to havo a gen
eral supervision of tho United States
nilnts nnd assays offices. Tho first Di
rector noting under that law wn tho
llon'll. H. Lindcrmnu, and in his re
port on tlio subject ho gives statistics
of tho colnago in tho several mints,
showing total amounts and tho denom
ination of money mado at each place
forcaclt year of their existence.
Tlio New Oilcans Mint was opentd
for business in 1838. Subsequently
money of every denomination was
mado there. The Director's statement
1 brought down to January 31, 1801,
tip to which timo thero had been a
total coinago of 810,148,740 in gold
nnd 29,7Gl,3.i3 in silver making n
graml total at tho Now Oilcans Mint
from its begining in 1838 tot January
31, 1801, both in Bilver and'gold, of
S09,013,003. Tho date of which tho
Director's leport closed was tho datn
which tho Mint fell into tlio hands of
the Confederates. Lousina having see
cded from tho Union by an ordinance
ndoptud in the Stato Convention July
20, 1801, and the 29th of the same
month all tho Fcdeial ollicers in tho
State, including tlio mint, wero direct
ed by nn ordinaco adopted that day to
bo tiaosfered to tho Btato of Louisiana,
nnd tho 2.ith March following thoy
wero ordered to bo transfered lo thu
care of tho Confederate States. Doc
uments lately brought to light, it is
stated, show that subsequent to tbo
Mint going into tho hands of the
Louisiaiiians and tho Confederates,
and up to May 30th of the same
year, thero were coined 3254,000 in gold
double eagles nnd SlOlSOiO in
silver half dollars, tints making a total
coinage of !$1,3o5,21G,o0 while the
Mint was in tlio enemy's Ziands. What
was done with this money does not ap
pear from any available record", but
tho fact of coinage as stated is shown
on tho books of tho Coiner at that lime,
and in order to mako up tho true
amount of the actual coinago of the
New Orleans Mint this sum must bo
taken into account. Thero was no
regular coinage of tho precious mctnls
into Confederate specie under Confed
erate auspices, although the New Or
leans Mini remained in their control
until April 2G.1S02, when the city was
taken by tho Federal forces.
Hindoo Law.
A judgment was delivered in the
High Court of Hoinbay on tho IGth of
Aptil, after a trial of 11 days, which
deserves more than local notoriety,
Tho Times of India says it is "the
mo6t important casn that has been tried
in western India for many yearc." The
claim was by tlio son of a Hindoo mil
lionaire. Sir Munguldnss Nuthoobhoy,
and liu demanded front his father a
partition of all tho family property nt.d
an equal share. Tho father refused tho
petition and tho son appealed to tho
High Court. Tho Judgo who tritd
tho case, Mr. Justice Scott, following
decisions of the Privy Council, ruled
that a son who was a member of a
Hindoo joint family had an equal right
with tlio father and an equal share in
the family property and could claim
partition against tho father's will at
any time after majority. Tho Judge
pointed out that such a claim was re
probated as immoral by tlio ancient
writers, but still admitted as just by
those of tho highest authority iu Borr.
bay. This seems an astonishing decis
ion to European minds, but tho author
ities cited by tlio learned Judgo show
is absolute legality iu Hindoo law.
At tho samo timo 11 has struck constei
nation through tho wealthy families if
Western India. Tho rule, no doubt, is
a survival of tho primitive idta that
the family is an aggregate or collective
unit, of which all members haui an
equal interest in tho common properly.
As tho learned Judgo pointed out, the
current of authority tends to ovetilow
parental authoiity and to effect a pain
Jul revolution in tho family system
throughout Western India. It was also
decided in the caso that property that
was not family or ancestral property,
but self-acquired, could bo devised by
will by a father to his boh, and that tho
property retained its self-acquired char
acter in tho hands of his son. This
will considerably diminish tho danger
that might arise from an unrestrained
oxerciso of the right now fully declared.
The caso has been for a time tlio sub
ject of much discussion and great anx
iety in all nativo circle, and, although
experts in Hindoo law agree in the
strict legality of tho decision, thero is a
general opinion that tho altered con
ditions of Hindoo society render legis
lation necessary on the subject, in spite
of the extended effort now given to tlio
exercise of the testamentary power.
M. Albeit Gaudry has published
somo remarks on the skoleton of a cave
hysuna discovered by M, Felix Hag
nault, and presented to tho Academy
of Sciences, Paris. Studies of this
skeleton, which was recently found in
tho Gargas district, Upper Pyreenp,
confirm tlio view theretofore advanced
that tho cavo hyicna was merely a
heavy varisty of tho spotted hyicna
still surviving in Central Alrica.
MM. II. Fol and K. Sarasin havo
lately written a incmior on tho depths
to which solar rays penetrate in mntino
water. From a series of experiments
mado in the month of March of this
year at Villefrancho snr.Mer (Mediter
ranean) analogous to those previously
carried out at thu Lako of Geneva, thu
authorities conclude that in tine weath
er the last rays of liglit aro dissipated
in tho Mi'diierraiit'au at a depth of
about 400 meters.
N. .1. Heiicourl lias submittul a
paper to the Academy of Sc'ienon',
Pnri, in which ho maiutnins that all
waters of whatever origin, contain cur
vt'd bacilli of variable iorms and di
mensions; that tho curved bacilli do
not exist in tho atmosphcro under thu
characteristic form, but aro there, how
over, in tho condition of genua, and
that substances uapablo of serving as
nutriment to germs or bacteria contain
curved bacilli.
A recent writer on heating of green
houses and conservatories says that tho
secret of successful heating Is to raise
tho temperature of tho water in n short
spaco of timo so ns to cause it lo flow
through tho radiating pipes willi such
velocity that it may return to tho boil
cr before losing all iu boat. This is
achieved by bringing tho water tinder
tlio inllucnco of tho lire in small, con
Unions bodies, and if this is carried out
tho radiating pipes can bo reduced in
size witlt advantage and economy.
Tho timo for putting all such things in
in working order is during tlio waim
ceason.
