Mr. J. Clark gives, in the Clerman town Ttiegrcrph, the following experi ment of plowing under brush and manure, which illustrates a pomt worthy of attention. The loosening and eration of the soil, especially if heavy, is not sufficiently cared for. The beat crop of oate (80 bushels to the acre we ever raised, was obtained by plowing under all the straw the plow would cover. This was good, sound straw, and could not have decayed early enough to produce such a result as a fertilizer. It was simply the effect of leaving an air space eight inches down in a stiff, clay loam. Mr. Clark says: My idea was that one great cause why could not get as good crops from old fields as when they were firstcnltivated, was owing, in a great measure, to the density of the x>iL I had observed that the first eight or ten years after clear ing off the forest, the land would give good crops with very little care in plow ing; the reason for this, I argued, was the decaying of the innumerable root lets of Uie trees cut down. In order to test the theory, I cat down about two tons of walerbrush, hardback and other small bushes, and let them lie in a pile exposed to the weather one year, and then applied them to a hall acre of land, and applied barn-yard manure to another half acre adjoining. The re salt proved the manure to be a little the best the first year, which was corn. Sowed grass seed in the fall after har vesting the corn. The manured place did pretty well far abont five years, the brush piece did well for abont ten years, proving the theory to be oorrect. I used two cords of the manure as a balance lor the two tons of bushes; the plowing was six or eight inches deep. I have repeated the experiment since, with the same result ValM A>hn for Potato**. On a small patch of land which I have cultivated this season to potatoes, ashes were applied in the hill at the rate of .sixty bushels to the acre, save on the row, which was left for the pur pose of comparison. On this no ashes were applied. On digging the potatoes, those from the row without ashes and also those from the two adjacent rows were weighed. Computing the yield for an acre of each, the following is the remit: Largr %u*ll Potato**. Potato**. Total BtuhHa. Btsahrl*. Btmhrla. Oue acre without *h I St Z On*M with Mhe* ..W 3T Sfl If we take into the account onlj the large potatoes, the thirty-two bushels gained by using ashes at sixty cents per bushel would amount to £l9 20. litis sum divided by GO, the number of bushels of ashes to the acre, gives thir ty-two cents per bushel as their value. Allowing for the labor of applying the ashes, and also for the excess of small potatoes from the ground upon which no ashes were applied, it would be safe to regard the value of the ashes to about twenty-five cents per bushel. The ashes were from mixed wood, about two-thirds soft wood and one third hard wood. It is more than prob able that from the dryness of the sea son the beneficial effects of the ashes in the soil have not yet l>een fully real ized. During the growing season the row without ashes could not have been selected by the appearance of the tops. The two lots of potatoes have not yet been compared as te quality for table use. Tboße, however, which have been tasted from land to which ashes were applied, are excellent. The Orono po tato was used for the experiment.— Maine Farmrr. Tannin# Lambskin* Willi the Wool 111. Wash the pelts in warm water, and remove all fleshy matter from the inner surface ; then clean the wool with yel low soap, and rinse the soap thoroughly out. When this iB done, apply to the flesh side the following mixture for each pelt: Common salt and alum, one-quarter of a pound of each, and half an ounce of borax dissolved in a quart of warm water; add to this enough rye meal to make a thick paste, and spread the mixture on the flesh aide of the pelt. Fold the skin lengthwise and let it remain two weeks in an airy and shady place, then remove the paste from the surface ; wash and dry. When nearly dry scrape the flesh side with a knife, working the pelt until it becomes thoroughly soft. Girdled Tree*. ibout the best preventive against in jury by rabbits in the orchard is to smear the bark with blood, batcher's offal, fresh beef or hog's liver. Some horticulturists wrap the tree stem with heavy paper and apply over this a cpflting of tar or raneid oil. Tar or grease applied directly to the bark would probably seriously injure if it did not kill the tree. Where the bark has been stripped or gnawed away, an application of freßh oow manure, fast ened on tightly with an old cloth, is decidedly the best method of mending the wound and inducing a fresh growth. Milk. The bept,issible way for cooling tnilV iB to plaoe the vessels containing it in a tank supplied with spring water, which is always cold. It is equally good if the tank be supplied from a deep well, but in this case the labor of pumping is considerable. The cooling of milk by placing ice in the vessels containing it is not advisable for several reasons, one of which is that it dilutes the milk. Another is that it does not cool the milk equally. m A Beef Reform. Texan beef has hitherto been under a ban. It ha* been a synonym for everything tough, tasteless, ami treach erous. Hut the Texan steer has IMVII ill used—not only in having lieeti utade Hie subject of caustic sarcasm and dis tnal jokes, but in having been so cruelly and unjustly treated that the condition necessarily precedent to this sarcastic abuse has been forced upon him. He has been driven from his free and airy pastures upon the great Texan plains, a long and dreary errsti mouths' jonruey to the prairies of Kansas and Colorado. I'pon his enforced journey he ha* been chased, run down, lashed with whijs, i and partially starved ; afterwards cx i posca to the howling tempest* of an intensely cold winter in Ins new pas tnres he ha* picked his living upon the dry gra*a and sedges along the banks l of the Arkansas or the Flatte. Then he has boon fed upon soft eoru -un marketable ears—agaiust whieli hia free soul has utterly revolted. When re stored somewhat to his former self, and brought more into a semblance of just prop<wtion to his enormous horus, lie has Wn crowded into the railroad cars, in which, cabined, cribbed, con fined, he has undergone all the tortures of "the middle passage," Without feed or water, wearied, sick, and sore, this poor pilgrim has reached onr East ern market* in a condition iu which life ana death atrove together for htm. Fevered, starved, and bruised, he goes to the slaughter, hia wild tiatnre un tamed, resisting to the last. Then the housekeeper, with reputation at s'ake, dubiously regards those bruised Quar ters exposed for sale at the market*. Klaek, blue, and yellow, the bruised beef hangs upon the hoots, and thereby hangs a tale of misery which touches the human and seusitive heart. And the victim of all this cruelty is iusultcd by our unintentionally unjust remarks. For the Texas steer is uo snob hard caae. Theoretically, as a grass-fed steer, he should furnish the i beat and juiciest of beef. Practically and truly he doe* this. We can vouch for the fact because within a day or two we have eaten a steak front a steer which was slaughtered upon his native heath. He was one of 426 head which were slaughtered at Austin and Deni-' son, in Texas, upon the 26th day of No vember, and which upon the same day were ahipj>ed upon refrigerator car* di rect to the New York market. Hern they arrived in perfect order, clean, fresh, sweet, with the flavor of theii native v grass upon them, without a bruum and with no regretful coin cidence attached to them to raise one's sympathy. Under these favorable cir cnmstances the Texan steer is a sweet creature ; his fle&h is as tender as that of the delicate antelope, with some what of that succulence and flavor which belongs to the best of onr game annuals. A company has now been formed, which intends to ship 500 head tri weekly from Deaisoe to New York, whose success it is to be hoped will be permanent, both on account of the al most incredible suffering which may now lie spared to the beast*, and of the certain rednetiou of price and vastly improved quality of the beef. Beef thus brought to market can be sold at an average price of six cent* ner pound at wholesale. Allowing the nandsome profit of 100 per cent, to the retailer, the consumer should be able to pur chase it an average price of 12 cents. At precent the bruised and really un wholesome beef we buy coatr double this price. Here in this ago of reform is a reformation that is far from insig nificant. As iu all reforms there is op position on aoocunt of vested interests, which may suffer in the reduction of price from 25 and 30 cents to 10 and 15 cents per pound. But poor purchasers are in the majority and the few must succnmb. It only remains to snpport the hands of the reformers, by demand ing of onr batchers that thev supply us with the Texas-slaughtered beef, to successfully realize the benefits of this much needed reform, — Hearth and Home. A Rhode Island Samson, There is living in Newport, R. I, says a correspondent, a man quite as re markable for his mnscnlai powers as he who in olden times bore off on his shoulders the gates of Gaza. When a youth he was wont to shoulder a barrel ,of flour with his feet inside a peek measure. On one occasion, on Htevcua' wharf, as the resnlt of a 1 muter that he could not shoulder an anchor weighing 550 pounds, he raised it to his shoul ders, carried it np Bannister's wharf, up four steps into the United States Hotel (west door), carried it throngh, down one step, out of the sonth door, j down the wharf back again, and de posited it on the scales for weighing. The distance lie carried it must have been from 300 to 400 yards. Tbe feat was considered so remarkable that it was placed npon the town records, where it may be seen by any who may be in credulons. On another occasion half a dozen men were tugging at a hogshead of molasses lying on its bilge, endeavor ing to place it on end, when he ordered 1 them aside and ended it np alone. Though now fifty-seven years old, he is 1 ready at any time on a wager to lift to l his shoulder a barrel of floor. Tbe I same man (he is an out-and-oat tee j totaler now) has been known to stand at the bar ot the old Park House and drink thirty-two glasses of liquor with out turning round. On one occasion he says that he and another man, making '* a night of it," sat down to half a bar j rel of beer, and drank it all np before | morning. Yet no person ever saw this man in the gutter, or even stagger from the effects of"hi* potations. It was his boast in his younger days that he could ont-lift and out-drink any man in Rhode Island. The reader may think that in the dearth of " items" we have been stringing together a bunch of Mtinehaasiil tales for our and their ; amusement; bnt the man is Rtill living, ' and there are those among us who will verify the statements above made." Biblical Places. While little has been written touch ing the tombs of Palestine, there are architectural, historical, uational, per sonal and religious facts in connection with them which should be studied with great care before they utterly dis appear. At present the Moslems hold . the key to the Tomb of David and the ! secret of its exact location on Mount , Zion. Bethel, eleven miles from Jeru salem, is ruins of huts, on a ridge, cov ering lour or five acres, a spot memora ble for ever. This was the spot where Abraham erected the second altar ever built in Canaan, and where Jacob slept and had his dream, and received the name Israel. The ruin of the place was predicted in these words : "Seek not Bethel or enter into Gilgal, for Oilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to naught." The ruins of Bethel fulfill the prophecy. Bhiloh is next, the region abounding in pictur esque beauties,and being the spot where the tabernacle of the Lord was first, set up in Canaan, and where it remained for more than two hundred years. Shiloh, also, is now in utter ruin. How the Indiana Climb Trees. In South America even the weakest woman may be, not uncommonly, seen plucking the frnit at the tree tops. If the back is so smooth and slippery that they cannot go climbing, they use other means. They make a hoop of wild vines, and putting their feet inside they use it as a support in climbing. The negro of the west coast of Africa makes a larger hoop ronnd the tree, and gets inside of it, and jerks it up the trunk with his hands, a little at a time, draw ing hia legs up after it. The lahitian boys tie their feet together, four or five inches apart, with a piece of palm bark, and with the aid of this fetter go up the cocoa palms to gather nuts. The native women in Australia climb the gum trees after opossums ; where the bark is iough they chop boles with a hatchet, then one throws about the tree a rope twice as long as will go around it, puts her hatchet on her cropped head, and, placing her feet against the tree and grasping the rope with her hands, she Eitohes it up by jerks, pulls herself up the enormous trunk, almost as fast as a man can climb a ladder. The Mad Stone. AM U|HN L.T> Hrlatrs ■ Mr* •)' 11. A corrcsi>oudent writes from Oakland, Oregon, as follows: Heversl years ago I lived in northeaat Missouri, and at that time had a son aged at Hint six vears who waa bitten by a rabid dog. The wound was att ugly i one ttjsut the* arm, between the elbow and the shoulder. We were greatly frightened, as vou may imagine, and were at a lo*s wliat antidote * to apply. We had heard of two uiad stone* iu the possession of a Mrs. Hardin, a lady living at Council Bluff*, lowa. A* a forlorn hope my hunband started I utter these stones. He rode ou horseback night and day, and returned from hia tiii*aioii with the mad stouecou the tlflh dav after the bite, tYe had but little ooutldeuoo lu snob remedie*. The wound had nearly healed, and we were directed to shave or scrape the surface about it slightly, so that the pus would SUM out, but not so that the blood would flow. We ap plied one of the atone*, and, strange to relate, it would seem to fasten itself to the wound. For the first few days it would remain upon the jwottud, absorb ing all tlio ptts, or matter, which flowed out, for about twelve honr* at a time, and would then detach itself, and drop off". After a time it took logger for the (Hires to fill, and, consequently, the atone would atiek for a correspondingly greater period. The last application was on the thirteenth day after the bite, ami then the stone Stuck fcr forty-eight hours, and would adhere no lunger. After each application we washed and thoroughly cleansed the atone in warm water. Gradually, a* the stone seetned to draw the poison with the pus, it made for itself a cavity in the arm, sinking deeper at each application. At last it had quite buried itself, and a putrid aore formed, which had a very offensive smell, hut which finally Leaf ed. During the whole operation the patient was quite siek, and grew very pale and weak, hia whole nervous sys tern seeming to be shattered. He fully recovered at last, and never j afterward manifested anv.aigus of the malady resulting frota tiie bite. But yon may inquire how we knew that the dog wa* mail. 1 myself saw it manifest all the symptoms of hydrophobia. It was seen to bite two hogs, and both of them became mad, one of them iu two weeks and the other in three weeks. We let thetn rave for a few days ami then shot them. The stone that we uaed wa* an inch and a half long, half an inch in diame ter, and of a light, gray color. It was porous, resembling iu many ic*poets pieces of coal that I have seen. Where it wa* found 1 do not kuow, ner can I give ita geological classification. Cer tain it is it cured our boy, as my hus band and other* can testify. Mtti. N. He t. The postmaster at Oakland indoraas the above communication by saving : " 1 know that this lady is truthful, as my acquaintance with her for fourteen years justifies." A Komautlr Stori. At a short distance from Fort de France, the seat of government of Mar tinique, rise the celebrated hot mineral spring* known as " Fontaine Chand." These springs are said to possess great curative properties. They flow in large streams from the ground, and the waters are conveyed to bathing-houses, to which great number* of invalids re sort. A romantic history is ootmeetcd with this place. In the year 1837 the , springs were visited by a party, con sisting of Mcnsienr, and Madame La Rossare, Mile. Adele Monery, the maid servant, and several other persons. One day, while they were enjoying the bath, and entirely unsuspicious of danger, the embankment at the bead of tbe springs, where the waters were confined in a large reservoir, gave way, the tor rent overwhelmed the bathing-houses, and bore the inmates to destruction. Among the victims was the beautiful Mile, Adele. Tbis yonng lady con sidered the most beautiful maiden on the island, and we can uot refrain from relating a story which illustrates the power and fascination of her charms. Her brother, who was engaged in ex tensive commercial eutcrurise in Mar tinique, suddenly fonnd himself in volved, by the dishonesty of a man with whom he was connected, in pe cuniary difficulties, from which he was unable to extricate himself, and be failed for the large mm of one million francs. Unable to make a true ex hibit of bis tffairs without involving a person whom he was unwilling to drag befoie the public, he determined to sacrifice himseif, and fled from the island without attempting to justify himself to his creditor*. Criminal pro ceeding* were commenced against him. He was summoned to appear at conrt, and on his failure to do so, he was pro nounced guilty, and sentenced to be burned in effigy in tbe public square. This sentence was carried into effect His sister, the beautiful and fascinating Adele, knowing him to be guiltless, brooded long over tbe disgrace and sorrow which had clouded the honor of the family, and atlength she determined to make an effort to clear her brother's character. Obtaining an interview with the governor, she sank npon bar knees before him, and made an im passioned appeal for clemency toward the fugitive, who, she urged, had never been heard in his own defense. Moved by her beauty, her eloqnenee, and sis terly devotion, the gallant old governor, whoso heart was still young, gently raised her from the ground, and prom ised a fnll pardon for her brother if on a new investigation it should appear that he bad been too severely dealt with. In a few weeks she bad the hap piness to send her brother a full pardon, and permission to return to the island. N'or was the old governor oontent with this simple act of justice. He gave the yonng man s post of houor and respon sibility under government, which he held for many years. Bnt after the tragical death of his sister his own life was destined to end under a cloud. He held a position in the Treasury, and on one occasion, when required to prodnce a large amount of gold, he discovered to his horror that the money hail been stolen from the vault in which it liail been stored. Btnng to desperation, and knowing too well that tht old story would be revived, he shot himseff throngh the head. A short time after ward the real thief was discovered anil brought to punishment. The memory of the beautiful Adele and her un fortunate brother is still tenderly cher ished in Martinique. Tiger Traps, A writer in the London Tin if* tells how they trap tigers in India, and de scribes the trap in use in some parte of the country. Strong posts are fixed in the ground so as to form a circle of pallisadcs ten or twelve feet in diame ter. Another large circle is formed in the same way ontaide the other, leaving a space of a foot and a half between the two. In the onter circle a small door in made of a width eqnal to the space be tween the cirrles. A geot or calf ia tied to a post in the centre, and the doer is opened, so that it stands across the space between the circles. The tiger comes and walks aroned the onter cir cle till he finds the entrance. He enters, and walks aronnd the space till he meets the open door which be pnsltes back into hia place. The apace is to# narrow for him to tnrn round or exert hia great strength, and he oontinnea to walk round till morning, when he ia easily killed, and the bait extracted un hurt." A PLACE WHERE AMERICANS ARE NOT. —Joaquin Miller relates that, not long ago, being in Geneva, he found the town too full of his countrymen, and to relieve himself of their presence he drove to the nearest boat and went on board. Boon the clerk came up and asked him where he would be pleased to go. The poet replied : " Monsieur, take me to some place where there are no Americans." The e'erk looked at him for a moment, then hopelessly np and down the lake, and away across towards Mont Blanc, and at last shook his head. Buddenly a new idea seemed to strike him, and he lifted his eyes to wards heaven ! " Tit* Barnacle ** at Washington.

Speculating Safely. One of tlie favorite methods of specu lating of tlie Rothschild* in ante-U-le graph days was to notify their well known brokers to sell a certain stock or security. Every body on the Exchange would lie aware they were selliug, and as they invariably had the earliest in formation, their action wonld have a very depressing influence on the market, The simple announcement, "The liotlia childs are selling," let the security be what it might, would pnt down the par ticular seenritv from two to five per cent. After tlie decline the brokers wonld instruct their secret agents to buy at the reduced price ; and the se curity, suddenly disonverel to lie sound, wonld mount to its old or perhaps to a still higher figure. They also set minora, afloat, as the bnlla and bears of Wall street do, to put down what they wish to buy, or Cut up what they wanted to sell; and aviug executed their purpose, the good or two news of their invention would fail to be confirmed. They have persis tently denied that they were ever stock jobbers, thongh it would be hard to tell what they are if they are not such. They have never been desperate gamblers on the Exchange—they are too cool and acute for that—they have never taken great risks, but they have arranged their programme with all tlie chaneea on their side, and carried ont the pro gramme to their entire advantage. Chinese Method of RaLlng Mouejr. Mr. W. Simpson, in a paper on " Chin CHO Architecture," read before ono of the English societies, describes as follows the Chinese method of rais ing money for the bnilding or repairing of temples : "In the streets of Peking I one day fonnd a man in a sort of wooden sentry box ; large nails hud been driven into it, so that their points projected through. This prevented the man from leaning against the sides, and the only rest he had was from sitting on a board within, lie was a monk, and never seemed to sleep, for he had a string with which he night and day sounded a large sonorous bell every few minutes, as a sort of advertisement of his pur pose. Tli is was, that the beuernleut shonld come forward with money; each nail represented a sum. When any one pa'J that sum, his name was stuck up on s bit of paper, and the nail was pulled out, making it more com fortable fur the hermit within. All the nail* represented the necessary amount for tho repair of a temple which was close behind. This is a common pro ceeding for raising the wind for snch purposes. I was told that this monk had beeii two years shut up, and that he would likely be another year before he got out of his eoooou of nails." Flowers as Disinfectant. Professor Mantegazza has discovered that ozone is developed by certain odorous flowers. A writer in Naturr states that most of the strong smelling vegetable essences, such as mint, cloves, lavender, lemon and cherry laurel, de velop a very large quantity of ozone when in contact with atmospheric oxy !;en in light. Flowers destitue of per ume do not develop it, and generally the amount of ozone seems to be in proportion to the strength of the por fnme emanated. Professor Mantegazza recommends that in marshy dis tricts and in places infested with noxionß exhalations, strong-smelling flowers should bo planted around the house, in order that the ozone emitted from them may exert its powerful ox idizing influence.

From time to time I have received many luqnirien on thin subject. To-day f ahall attempt to answer a few of Uuim. Bo common a piiraae an " Catehi* n Tartar " ha* ita origin variously UiUni. Oroec, the antiquarian, nays, that it oaiue out of a atory of an Irish aoldier, IU the Imperial service, alio, in a battle against the Turka, called out to bis comrade that he had caught a Tartar. " Bring him along, then," waa Uie won't come," answered Paddy. " Then come along yourself," nan! his comrade. To which the Hibernian responded, " Ati, hut he won't let tue." This it alluded to in a recent work by Professor Fttxgersld, entitled " Cau tions for the Times," revised by Arch bishop Whately, of Dublin, the grt-si logician, in the sentcuoe, " We are like the man who boasted of ' having caught a Tartar,' when the fact was that the Tartar caught him.' The term is also applied by Charles Dickens, in his story of " llaruaby Rttdge." It may be remembered that toward the close of that powerful ro mance, one hue afternoon is mentioned, on which Gabriel Varden, the jolly and good-natured locksmith, is haviug tea iu the little bark parlor, in company with his buxom wife, his pretty little daughter, and Joe Willet, her one-armed betrothed, when, uuexpeetod, uninvited, and unwelcome, that antique maiden, Miaa Miggs, presents herself to the company, sure of beiug re engaged as Mrs. Varden' handmaiden. As she gets the cold shoulder, Miggs becomes saucy, pouring the vials of her wrath upon the whole oompany, collectively and individually. Her criticism upon Gabriel Varden is conveyed in a rapid succession of angry and sancy sen tences, such ns " I have turrd the neighbors make remark as sume one they was acquainted with was s psor, guod-uatur'd, mean spirited creeiur, as went out (lahiug for a wife one day, and caught a Tartar." "Like a chip in porridge," meaning a person or thing of small account or nse, is a phrase that often turns up in familiar cm vernation. Ouee, on enter ing the wit news-be- 1, in a court of jus tice, s persou summoned to give testi mony said to the judge: " i don't know why I am here, for I am like * a chip in porridge.' I can say nothing against the plaintiff." The late Sir Charles Napier, a verv brave soldier, and simply speaking sol dier, ssid, in s general order to the Ben gal army: " The reviews which the commander io-chief make* of the troops are not to be taken as so many ' chips in por ridge l*" Many veam ago, at a contested elec tion in England, one of the candidates observed: " It has been said that I liavo played the game of Mr. Mclliah. I have, how ever, done nothing toward his success. I have rendered lum neither service nor dis-serriee." A iwureou in the crowd exclaimed: " So, nor to anybody else. You're a mere chip in porridge !" The idea Wing that he waa utterly inefficient- A bit of chip put into any food, whether j>orridge, aoup or eauoo, columnnie .tea uo flavor to it, and ia in the MQC category with a man who ia utterly unclean, ft ia a familiar, natural anil intelligible comparison. Putting the cart before the home i* a well-known illustration. It can boaat of great antiquity, having find been quoted by Luciau, the great (ireeh writer, nearly seventeen hundred years ago. Francia Rabelais, the French satirist and wit, whoae "Oargantua" wan published in the rear 1533, has tlie phrase, " He plaeed tlie carri igc before tlio steed." So derivation of it ran be given, but the manning ia and refers to those who begin to do a tiling at the wrong end. "Fating humble pie"—meauiug that the eouoeit shall lie taken ont of a per son, that pride shall have a fall—is an expression oft<-n used in conversation. Tlie proper way of spelling the dish would lie "humble pie," with the as | pirate. It refera to a pie once more common in England than it has been for many generations. Two hundred years ago, during the reign of Charles 11., the eondiiion of tlie people of Eng land was so low thst, Lord M scan lay says, wages were so low and nient "so dear that hundreds of thousands of families scarcely knew the taste of it." Among the rich bilks, a venison pasty was a favorite dish, bat the poor gentry had to put up with a pie made of the "ambles," or entrails of the deer, which were the perquisites of the keeper. In Ilailev's famous old dictionary, the foundation of Johnson's great work, the i word "nmble" is said to lie umbilicus, the region of the intestines. If a person who had afforded sneh a costly dish aa • venison pasty were reduced to tho meaner dish, it might be said that lie was "eating nmble pie." There are various derivations of the term, " Mind yonr I"'s and Q's." It is said to have arisen from the ancient enstom of hanging a slate behind the ale-house door, on which was written P or Q—that is, pint or quart—against the name of each customer, according to tho quantity which lie hail drank, and which was not expeeti d to be paid for until the next Saturday evening, when tin. wages were settled. Perhaps the word tick, meaning rrxiit, mav also be traced to this—a tick or mark being pnt for every glass of alo. Hon lliey Yoled. The PoitDMtfr of Manassas, Ya., having resigned his position was asked by the Department to recommend a amiable person aa bin successor. Be ing unwilling to reoommend'any one without testing the desire of the peo ple he ordered an election for the j>ur jx>se. The voting waa withont refer cnoe to party linea, and there were very few of the w'ivea and daughters of the prominent citizens of the village that did not improve the first chance Vir ginia ladies ever had to exercise the righta of auflrage. The result of the election WON much NA anticipated. A larger vote was polled than waa ever cast at any Presidential or Htate eon test, and of the 828 votes east a yonng lady by the name of Pine received 308 to her male opponent's 25. A young man at Madison, Wisconsin, who could not oolleot his wages from his employer, owed a Hhylock merchant $1.75. The latter commenced garnishee proceedings against the employer, but IU the meantime the young man called at the merchant's store in his übsenee and paid the $1.75. The costs of the garnishee process was $3, which the merchant was compelled to pay. He wants to know what kind of a country he lives iu where it costs $3 to collect $1.75. A genius is popularly supposed to be one who can do anything exoept make a living. The learned Illarksalth, In his autobiography in "Ten Min ute Talk," Klihn Hurritt tells how he studied mathemnUoa. He conldn't nff.ird tunc to attend achool, to he naed to do certain problema "in hit head" while hammeriug owsy ou his anvil. Here is one of them " llow many yards of cloth, three feet in wullh. eul into strips an Inch wide, and allowing half an inch at each end for the Up, would It require to reach from the cen tre of the sun to the centre of the earth, and how much would it all <*t at a shilling a yard ?" He would not allow himself to make a single figure with ckalk or charcoal in working out this problem, and he would carry liunie to his brother all the multiplications iu hia head, and give them >*u to him and his assistant, who took them down on their slates, and verified and proved each ssparate calculation, and found the final result to be correct. llKAirr DISK AHK. Many person* suft. r with hmrt disease without knowing it suddenly tbey drop off, aud their (i ii-mts arc astonished, on a poat mortem examination, to learn that they died nl heart disease. The heart, like the brain, ia the scat of life—ita diseases are of several characters. The most common are valvular disease, fatty de generation, and functional derange ment. If the liver l*ocoma dcrangod, and digestion is impaired, the heart, through sympathy and jogbuMnttioß, becomes abnormal. The following symptoms indicate approaching disusae: palpitation, giddiness, faintness, nerv ous prostration, deranged digestion, vertigo, ooid extremities, etc., ate., (or which tho old mhool will aduuiuster Iron, opium, antimony, mercury, and many other mineral poisons.
