-Tew lorier asks how to catch a home.
Hew is a snw and easv method of catch

AFTER YTHJUT SOWN, if there is rea
son to suppose acme portions of the
field, to eh as sandy knolls, too poor to
produce a good crop, it is a good plan
to spread some well-rotted manure on the
surface. It often has a wonderful effect,
not only on the wheat, bnt also on the
clover and grass afterwards. If mauure
can be had. 200 lbs. of Peruvian guano
per acre will be good, or, 150 lbs. nitrate
of soda sown this fall, and J3O lbs. in the
spring.

the meat is completely covered. Then
the meat is pnt into a cotton hag. which
is sown np closely. The riv can not

stir well, then with a small broom or
bunch of feathers sprinkle wall a row
of Oorn just above the chinch-bugs, tak

with the brine. Three pails of brine
will sprinkle a quarter of a mile, if prop

FALL TREATMENT OF CLAT LAST*. —A •
cay soil under a proper mode of treat
ment is our most productive soil. What
is called an agricultural clav, that is
day with twenty-five per cent of sand

ally grass. But while a light loam is 1
comparatively safe from injnrv, a clav
soil can tie measurably ruined bj im

danger is to be apprehended from plow
ing when too wet. The working of clav
in a moist condition will bring it into a
state of tenacious consistency that frost
can not ovenme, and maav yean of
tillage will be required to reduce. In
the mean time its value is letaened and'
its fertility impaired. Draining such

Incidents of the Chicago Fire.
We continue thin week, incidents ot
the Chicago fire. They give us a aad
picture of the scene
The tire burned across Clark street,
destroyed the fenae that bounded the old
German cemetery from the street, ami
swept across the grass and devastated
the graves. A great many family lots
were enclosed bv a woodeu fence. In
every instance these fences were burped,
and where the head boards were of wood
those also were consumed. Stoue
memorials were overtiirnetl, and the
tire in its n'ter fiendishneM actually
burued iuto the giouml to the depth of
a foot in some instances. Not satisfied
witit this it continued on ita destructive
career aud burned all the vaults ami
their content*. One large receiving
| vault must have coutaimHl.it least twenty
dead bodies, 'every one of which was
'destroyed utterly. Grave after grave
1 is ruined beyoud all hoju; of recognition.
One wooden tomb is burued iu a most
fantastic manner. It ap}>er* now like
a tlagstnt). with a thvg on its pi nk. Hor
rible idea ! The deumu of fire waiiug
a ting of victory over death ! The w hole
surface of the cemetery ia scorched black,
and every tomb ia either overturned or
burned, and the graves devastated. As
the tlnmes swept aero** this cemetery,
scouring with releutless tury the living
ami the dead, a number of women who
were (tearing Is dding ami other inflam
mable articles, were overtaken and their
dresses ami their burdeus fired, and it
was only by the presence of miud exer
cised by the men, who forced these wo
men directly into the lake, tlwt their
lives were saved, and even new the shore
is covered with halt burned ticking,
nearly buried by the sand ami action of
the waves.
Nearly all the dead by the tire have
lieen buried iu the County Potter's
Field, no oue being üble to rcoouguixe
the bodies.
A eoricspondeut relates tht* following
heart-sickening story : A* 1 w pass
ing bv the burning I'ost office I was
chained to the spot by the shrieks mid
earner, emanating from Reynolds' bhvk.
a well knows resort of the demi-monde.
Some two hundred prostitutes had rooms
here, and when the lire reached them a
number of them were sleeping off the
eflccta of intoxication and debauch.
Oruav drunk and petrified with fear, a
number of them were trying to get out
through the alkv entrance. The dames
from the Foal-once building drove them
back. aud with horrible curses ou tbeir
hps they staggered back to perish in the
ruins. No one couhl a-sist them from
that aide, but a sigual was made for
them to go around to the lVarboru
street aide, and here a number were
assisted to the ground by dremaii and
citixees. About twenty-tire rushed out
through the Madison street door with
nothing but their night clothing on and
a dr wa hastily sualched up in their
hands. All were possessed with the one
idea of personal safety. They ran wild
ly up anddowu the street, all in the light
of a thousand tires, exposing their naked
iless to the eyes of thousands, but uo
one took note of such a scene then, but
to many who saw it the recollectiou
thereof will not fade for many a day.
How they bewailed their fate! How
soma of them cursed their luck,- their
Maker aud the day they came to Chi
•ago!
Of the courage of those who lost all
by the tire, the following incidents are
reported by a correspondent: I met a
friend walking thoughtfully around with
a piece of lead pipe. As I approached
and sainted him he stopped, slapped the
lead pipe dowu ou a brick wail till it
mashed flat, and then said "Jo, that
pipe's all I've got in the world ; but I
begiu again to-uiorrow." 1 met a man
on the night of the tire who had lost first
his store and then his handsome resi
dence on Michigan avenue. He was
lugging around a marble mantle, with
the heavy sides attached. He laughed
aa he saw me, snd remarked. " That's all
there is, now ; bnt I'm going to see if I
can't find another and build a house to
fit." One more :—I saw Bkikely, editor
of the Evening Pott, hovering around in
front of the ntius of the office. He pick
ed up a brick facetiously, and spat upon
it. " What for," I asked. " Setting
whether they're 000 l enough to clear out
and build over again." was the reply.
This reveals all of the spirit of cheer
fulness there is. The mirth is rather
lorced ; there is plenty of pluck, bnt it
has solid substratum of serious med
itation.
A story is told of a well-known lin
ker, a* follows:—Monday morning. be
fore the fire had reaches! that ha tiding,
Mr. Tinchani, of the Illinois National
Bank, went to the safe, and succeeded in
getting ont $600,000 dollars. This pile
of grcenltack* he packed into a common
trunk, and hired a colored man for 81,000
to convey it to the Milwaukee depot.
Fearing to be recognised with the pre
cious load, Mr. Tincham followed the
ma a at a distance, bat soon lost tight of
him. He wu* then overtaken by th Are,
and driven toward the laka. After sev
eral narrow escapes from suffoeatiou, be
succeeded in working his way to a tug
boat, and got round to the Milwaukee
depot, where he found the colored man
waiting for him with the trunk, accord
ing to promise. Mr. Tincham paid the
man the 81,000, and started for Milwau
kee. where the money was safely depos
ited in the bank.
I saw a man on Monday uight looking
intently and seriously at his block of
five-story booties, on Water street, then
writhing and roaring in the flame*. 1
knew liim and watched him. His gase
was rivited.- I pitied him heartily, for
I judged tlmt he was on the verge of
despair. At last I ventured to approach
and break his reverie. 44 Well. Blake,
j what are you thinking of ?" said I.
" Ah—b! " said he, with a smile, " I was
thinking that the rat* must be catching
hell!"
THE ORIGIN OH THE HEAT OF FUIF.—
The origin of the heat developed during
combustion ha* hitherto lieeua profound
mystery. In the beginning of the cen
tury it was suggested that a portion of
| the specific or of the Intent heat of the
bodies consumed wa* set free during the
i process of combustion ; but tlii* idea
was aoou overthrown, a* it wa* found
that the products of combustion often
posses* inoie specific bent, and almost
always more latent heat, than the 1 iodic*
did before burning—that fs, before
: chemically combining under evolution of
j heat.
To illustrate : the speoifie heat of oxy
! gen is 0.21, and of hydrogen, H. 4 ; if,
j now, x lbs. of oxygen combine with 1 lb.
hydrogen, forming 9 Urn, of water, the
| specific heat of the mixture mu*t Im>
| Bxo 21 x!x3.x, or 5.08 ; this divided by
j9, to find the heat per 1 lb., giviw 0.56.
j Now, the product of this combustion,
which is water, has a specific heat of 1,
| nearly twice as great; but, before be
coming water, it was first *toam, of which
i the specific heat is only 0.48. but which,
j by its condensation, gives off not less
i than 960 unit* of Intent heat. Hence
arises the question—Whence comes all
this intense heat of combustion, and the
1 subsequent great amount of latent heat,
when the resultant substance in the end
| Hossewse* more specific heat than it* ele
| ments before combining ?
THOSE CALVES.— Judge L , of ILa
fayette, Indiana, not only dispenscth
justice with even hand, hut at times in
dulgeth in the jocose : During the pro
gress of a certain trial involving the
ownership of n calf, it became of impor
tance that the jury, ia order to arrive at
a just conclusion, should be sent out to
view for themselvm the chattel in dispute.
The plaintiff, who had possession of the
animal, lived some two miles from the
court-house, and one of the elderly jury
men demurred to the idea of being sent
so far. The judge, in liia usual round,
full voice, replied: "Gentlomen, I an
ticipated this objection, and had the calf
brought to the court-yard I thought it
less trouble to bring in one calf than to
send out twelve."
The jury emerged into the open air,
and in the presence of the calf, deliber
ated.

Aw Kxample fur Worklngtwett.
During the printer*' great strike in
this city in 18C7, twmty-fie j-omwv
men, who knew each other a* good work
men, and had faith in each other na men,
agreed to organise a tseojH-iutixe print
ing association as a mean* of gaining for
themselves at leant, if uot for the a hole
craft, the price* which they had demand
ed for their labor. In November, lst7,
the twentv-five journeymen met and
deposited each, and agreed to di-|,wit
$1 a week each, until they ncctiuiulutcda
fund sufficient for the pttrchu.c of a small
office. 11l April, 18tiM, the associate*
took out a charter under the name of the
Journeymen Printer*' Co-operative Asso
ciation. with a capital of So.UMO, and the
poser to increase it to 815.UU0 ;and aoon
thereafter, with the fund which they had
iircunitihited, they bought ill a bargaiu a
amoll but well selected stock of materials
that had been only a month in ue.
Then, with a paid np capital of only
§1,300, they opened an office in William
street, and were theuevforwnrd in receipt
of the prices which they hail demanded
for their kilior. Their dispute* with em
ployers were ended. Reoogniziug the
Printers' Union—the enforcement of
whose scale of prices was one of the
objects aimed at by the twenty-five asso
ciates in starting their office—the t'o
ojK-ratirc Printing Office at once liecuinw
through the Printer*' Union, practically
Uic official printing office of the 50,000
society workingmen of New York and
neighlxirbood. It was, therefore, a "tic
eeasfnl venture from the start.
The Association's business increased
until it l>ecsme too great for the narrow
quarter* in William street ; and in May,
j 1870, the Association leased a large
building in Beekman street, and still
further enlarged the capital and the
stock of material to meet the deniauds of
the increasing business. The presses,
type nnd other material now in the office
coat about s3o.ool)and the establishment
are employing about fifty workmen.
This rapid growth of a co-operative
association, started with a mere tnfio of
moiiey, ought to be an encouraging
example for other workingtnen who may
la- discussing the expediency of striking
for higher wages. I*t some of the eight
hour theorists try co-operation.—-V. V.

A Singular ( nnrt-Murtisl.
The court-martial of France charged
with the trial of communist prisoners
went through a delectable farce not long
since, in thnt it tried nnd passed sentence
on memlicrs of the "Corps of Fighting
Infants," who ranged in age from six to
eleven years, condemning some to ratum
home, and others to eouflnement for
the rest of their minority in a house
of correction. .Seven judges sat la-hind
ft big table, dressed in gorgeous military
array, the judge advocate on their right
and the registrar on their left—all in
uniform. Below them ware two rows of
gendanus with fixed bayonets guarding
fifteen little fellows whose heads hardly
reached up to tho prisoners' liar. Eight
of these gamins were between six and
eleven years of age, and fourteen had, as
was fully proven, shouldered rifle* and
fought st the barricades, some of them j
having remained there to lie wounded
nnd knocked over long after their older
comrades hi arms had run nwny. They
had belonged to Irs Pupillt*, or Is* En
fant* ik la Commune; been regularly
enrolled, and furnished with s uniform
of kepis and striped trousers. The poor
little follows, successor* of flavrochs,
were lioro, like him, to wretchedness
and vagabondage, and many were or
phans, illegitimate or abandoned chil
dren, and pleaded in excuse for having
taken up arms that they were driven to
do so by hunger and want. At the trial
the parents of those who had parents j
generally asked ths government to do)
what they would with them, and they j
were left, like lost parcels, in tho bauds
of their fiudera.
HALT LAKE*.— An interesting descrip
tion of the salt lakes of Anstrniia is given
by a writer in the Sydney Empire, who, j
speaking of the salt lake* nnd mineral
springs on the Paroo, nays : "These
wells are a real curiubty to many, if not
to all. Mounds of earth rise about ten
or fifteen feet over the surface no doubt
thrown up by the force of the water, they
form a kind of oasis in the wilderness,
and have saved thv lives of msny weary
wanderers. These mounds can lie seen
for miles. The water is clear and soft.
It is impregnated with magnesia, soda
and alum. It is very palatable to drink,
and I think very wholesome. The water
does not flow after touching the surface ;
hut as soon a* the fort-like basin sinks
into the earth. Tbealnm sud soda crock !

wells like frozen snow."

A Lumbering Town Hurtled.
The following ia the sad story of the
burning of the town of t'eshtigo, Mich
iguu : Advancing steadily onward the
Are at Inst envelojiod and destroyed the
little town of I'eshtigo. Wo have atill
to receive full account* of the tragedy,
but we know already that five hundred
uufortunnte people have perished. The
village is souie seven miles froui the
lisrlsir, ami on a Hundsy evening the
same wind probably that worked the
rm 11 of Chicago, blowing with the force
of a hurricane, fanned tlie smouldering
lire iti the forests around into a blaze
and drove the lire into the village, I his
was within a few minutes of the time
when the Chicago Are broke out -U
--twcell ten ulld eleven o'clock In less
than ten minutes the entire village was
iu llames, uutny poor people, who had
retired for the night, lunl uot time to
escape ftoin their houies,and w-re burn
ed alive ill their own homes.
There was no jxisaibility of cheeking
the flames and the surrounding forests
presented urn- iiitiss of Ate. Ths | ample
could only fly to the river for safety.
Those living in close proximity to the
water reached it aud w#ded iii till it
ranched their ueoka. Here they remain
ed from two to four hours and by wet
ting their head* were able to esespe with
life. But many wen* hadh burned
a'snit tli' hcud and face while in tin
water. Many were xirowned. Others
women and rliildreti, died from the ex
posure. Those who lived only one or
two htm-U from the river wen- strieken
down by the Auuie* and burned to deutli
liefore reaehiug the w ater, w hole families
were destroyed. In the uioruing the
streets were strewn with burned bodies.
F.iglit or niue bodies iu one corner
were found near together. One family,
coiixistiiig of father, mother aud six
childreli, were foumldend togetln-r wilh
iu tbre< fe*t of the water. It is imixee-i
--hle to give a correct estimate of the los
of life. It is supposed tluit the intimate*
of the I'eshtigo t'ompauy's boaidtug
house, oue hnudml and upward* in
uiiiiilit-r nearly all perished. Every re
port from the ueigldiorliooJ settleun-uts
briug information of houses burned ami
many lives lost. The intuit-use jiail
factory and large sawmill, and the stores,
bridges, |iK*omolives and c*rs were burn
ed slid every kind of property destroyed.
A* soon a* the hre had sufficiently
subsided, nil that wen- able went to tin
relief of the sufferers. Blackened,
-barred corpses were Iviug in every direc
tion, with their clotimig as a general
thing, nearly or quite burned off. Many
dead Issln— were found in the river, and
luauy more have since Is-en rarovered.
A number have died from their bruise*,
while others ure crippled or fearfully
disfigured. The most imaginative mind
cannot begin to renii/.e this fearful t-nl
aiuitv much 1--KS my poor jien to dem-nlie
it. llie shrieks ami groans of the dying,
ami of those who hud lust near mid dear
friends ; the ghostly SSJMI-1 of the black

of many who, Imdlv burned aud almost
ilestitnte of clothing, were running they
knew: now win re; ithera in the last
agonies of death, made a picture too
httrrid for contemplation. The sufferers
have all lieen taken to Green Hay, snd
other towns, where they will fa* kindly
cared for, as hospitality is one of the
marked traits of the West, The loss to
the i'eshtigo Company, who owned the
fa<-tones and most of the town, braid**
large pine lands, is etmial-,l at three

A gentleman from Port Ciarry, who

Why They Do It.
Why tlie women of the Oneida Com

The short dress belongs to us ohh fly

They have the love of the men in the
short dress, anJ. much more of it than
if they were disguised by fashion. There
is no dearth of magnetism between the
sexes in the community. If there were
we might give some attention to the
complaints of those who scold us for

of his Ktatc, describing the extent of the
calamitous Ares there, and making an
apiM-ul for aid that should be heard not

To thr I'm/tii Iy ll'ixtvmstM :
The account* of the npiHilliug calamity
which has fallen U|HIII the east and west
shore* of Green ltay have not been ex
aggerated. The biirm-d district compri
ses the counties of llninta, brown,
Ihsir, and Kewaunee, ami part* of Man
itowoc and Outagamie. The great loss
of life and property has ramuied from
the whirlwiuu of Are which swept over
the country, making the road* and sveu
, lies of rx<vt|te impassable with fallen tim
ber ami htirm*d budges. The previous
long drouth had prepared everything
fur the Aatui-s. The loss of life has been
very great. Tin Arst estimate* were en
. tirely inadequate, and even mtw it is
feared that it is mtieh greater than pre
sent accounts place it. It i known that
at least 1,000 persons have either lis*
bunted, drowned or smothered. Of
tiles.- deaths, lit HI or more were at I'oh
, tigo and adjacent places, and the others
I i in l>.sir, Kewaunee mid brown t Vmntiea.
. Meu are now penetrating thut almost in
, accessible regiou for tlie plir|Mme of
uffordiug relief, and 1 fear that their re
. ports will increase tliis estimate. From
i 'the most reliable source of information
, 1 leurii that not lea than A,(Ms) men, we
, men uiid children have Iteeu rendered
. entirely destitute. Mothers are left with
fatherless children. Tut hers with uiother
■ less children, children are left hoineisKS
orphans. l>istn*as and intense suffering
■ arc on every hand, where but a few days
ago were comfort and liappiucs*. Hi vires
of men, womeu and children now lie
, helpless. They are burned and maimed,
, iu temporary hospitals, cored for by more
[ fortuuate neighbors. These suffering
I people must tie supplied with food, i*-d
--ding and clothing, feed for their cattle,
, and the laeaus of providing abetter dur
| ing the winter. The rcsjionae liy the

To cxiMvliate the transfers at Green
Hay, all boxes should have card* attach
ed to them, stating their contents, aud
. all supplies sLtmild be scut to the Belief
i Committee at On*n Hay. Money oon
, tributed should not la* convert**! into
supplies, but should be forwarded to the
i Committee. Depots have been estab
, lisbed at tireeu Hay, under the managi
, tueut of a committee of public-spirited
and energetic men, who have the confi
dence of all, for the receiving and dis
j etching supplies. They have organized
, a system of üb-depots contiguous to the
burned regions, and steam lioats ami
wagon* are being sent out with supplies.
Lei us uphold their bands in the good
work, and see that their depots be kept

fortunate nei gfal sirs.
I urn urged by puldu--*piritod citizens
of the State to call an immedisto extra
session at the Legislature to provide for
this calamity. I have given serious at
tention to this suggestion, and have con
cluded Dot to do so, for the reason that
tlu* expense of such suasion would be
, likely to equal the amount which tb*
State would be aakud to contribute. Be
lieving, therefore, that the |ieople and
legislature will iudurs* my action iu
this ciuergcncy. I have, iu conjunction
witli the State Treasury, decided to ad
vance such a moderate sum of money as
si-mi to Im* appropriate, iu addition to
that contributed.

Cutting bias* with Sand.
A process of grinding aud cutting
gloas, ami of piercing glass and other
hard stilwtanees, lias been brought into
im*. It consist* in tlriving jet of mud
with grout velocity, by air or steam,
against the plate whieh is to be ground
or Aguml. Dwellers by tlie seashore
know that the glass of their windows, in j
some places, loses its polish through the
the conaant action of drifting sands on
tha pane ; and this same action, in a
concentrated form is now to serve the
arts, anil put money into inventors' pock
ets. The mode of operation, briefly
described, appears to be as follows : •* A
stream of sand is driven bv a fan into a
large t'llie ; the month of this tuW is one
inch wide and tiro feet long, and through
this the stream of a-tnd rushed agninst
plates of glass, and iu from leu to Af
b*en aaeonda eompletely grinds a mneh
of the surface a* eorresjxtnds with the
dimensions f the mouth of the tula*.
The plates of glass are moved by nia
chinery, until the whole surface isde.nl
eneil or ground ; ami a pattern may by
pnxliiml at pleasure by any device, or
with a coat of oil-paiui. The covered
|M>rtions will then remain transparent,
while the other |wvt of the stirfiu-i* will
lie dead. Sometimes white glass, cost- j
ed on one side with n thin Aim of red
glass, is manufactured for ornamental
inirposrs ; any jsittern ran in like mnn
ner Is* cut through the nil glass by the '
sand-jet. If n piste of gloss is covered
with lace, and turn exjxawsl to the jet,
the pattern of the lftce will appear, and
by properly regulating the blast delicate
fern leaves ninv lie used as the covering,
and the plnte will present the effect of
an engraving of ferns. More examples
might bo enumerated ; but these will
suffice to indicate that there ore many
ways in which, with tabes of different I
sizes, glass may IM* cut or ornamented
liy a jet of sand. There an' also other 1
applications in which it has been ml- 1
vantageously employed. Tlie jet will J
.•lit granite or any other kind of stone j
with great facility, if driven by high
pressure sh*am. It is found in practice
i that the rate of cutting is, in granite, 1|
cubic inches a minute, marble 8, and
soft brown sandstone 10 cubic inches;
hence, grnoves, moulding*, and geomet
rical patterns may IM* cut in stone at the
pleasure of the artificer. It seems hard
ly credible, but a jet of quartz Kami,
impelled by n sham-jot of 800 pounds
pressure, pierced an iueh-aud-a-hnlf hole
through a slub of corundum 1( inches
thick in 2o miuntes. Between the hard- j
iiess of corundum and of diamond there
is but little difference. After this there
seems nothing remarkable in the fact
that plate of glass covered with wire-
I gauze was pierced and converted into
glass-gauze by tin* action of the jet.
Moreover, it is found that the jet can lie
used for the dressing of the surface of
stone. Home kinds of granite cannot be
' dressed by the chisel without present
ing what masons calls 'stunned' appear
ance. This is entirely avoided by using
the jet. The inside of cast-iron hollow
ware can lie better cleaned and prepared
for tinning by tlie sand-jet tban by any j
other way ; aud the suggestion has been
made tlnit the Egyptians smoothed and
curved their blocks of jwrphyry and
sunk their hieroglyphics by meaua of
the sand which lay around them in such
abundance."
FJUOHTFUL. —A frightful accident hap

A Fearful V Mist ion.
It appear* that the Arst intimation the
residents of the doomed village of I'esh
tigo reccHud of the calamity that awail
od tnem was on the evening of Sunday,
after the close of the services at the
churches, when there was siuldenly
heard a roaring, rushing sound, likened
to the Aral distant muttering* of a
storm, or the bosrae murmur of an supry
* a. As this strange and terrifying
nab* inereaoeil, the poor crrataira seem
to have ls*en aroused to a presentiment
of coming danger. It may have been
listi-ned to at tirvt without serious ap
pn-henston, as the supposed precursor
of one of those Aerce bat comparatively
btrutleas sweepings of the winu that so
frequently puss over the broad prairie
lands of tin West. But soon it began
to be realized that a deadly heat was in
the breath of that horrible tornado, and
lhe warning reflection of a mighty con
flagration was cast over the aceue. We
a:e told that electric flames shot through
the air ; that balls of Are fell like meteor* j
iii different port* of the village, igniting
whatever they came in contact with, as
though a mysterious and relentleos army
had lice a pouring "obot and ahell, a
Are of hell," over the devoted town.
We must leave to science to decide, in
•timer moments, whether the phenomena
so vividly dnetmd by the excited suf
ferers liit!l actually any existence, or
whether they were only blazing particle*
from the burning forests and prairioa,
whirled along and fanned by the driving
wind. The horror-stricken inhabitant*
apjx-ar then to have Arst awakened to
the knowledge that a destroying Are was
rushing towards their home*, borne up
on the wiugw of the tornado ; and in- '
stoutly the jx-accftil village, just settling
down to the repose of a KnblsUh even-1
ing, was a scene of terror and confusion
scarcely to le pit-tared in the imagina
tion of those w ho were not eye-witm-socs
of the frightful calamity. Parents clasp
ed their children in their arms and fled
from their houses, knowing not in what
direction to seek for safety. There wo*
ua time to think of more lhan life, and
that, unfortunately, could not in many
hundreds af ciaf lie preserved. We are
told that the poor cre-oture* flying in
terror were in mazy instances lsiqs-d ap
by the hungry flame* and scorched and
withered and burned in their tracks.
