The Office of the Soli.
At first view it may appear a very
ample question to inquire what the noil
<loa or what to the fanner it* office ia in
the economy of natnre; but when we
hiok a little fart her and begin to notice
the result of the different conditions in
"which it is found, and of various
methods of treatment, the subject
widens, and its importance begins jo be
comprehended.
In the first place, the soil is a plant
food-holder. It receives and holds the
food washed out of the atmosphere by
rains, aud wliat it absorbs from contact
with fertilizing matters applied ill any
mauner, and also from wliat ia dissolved
from its own element. It is nature's
grand alembic whence is evolved those
matters that constitute the food of
plants, aud make np their structure from
the time the seed enters the soil and
through all stages of the growth of the
plant until its perfect fruition iuto
ripened product.
The processes that go on duriug this
time are truly wonderful, and the
chemical changes that take place under
the operations of natnre arc fall of in
terest, as well ss value, especially to
the farmer. These changes are pro
duced bv the action of laws OJM rating
on the plant hotli below aud above the
surface of the soil.
A while ago it was thought that to
produce plnnts shundautly it was neces
sary that the soil should contain a large
quantity of organic matter; but it has
Wen found that some soils are very fer
tile which contain a stuall per cent, of
organic matter, while others which jo*
sees as high as thirty or forty per ceut.
are not fertile; consequently that idea
has been discarded. Tne richest soils,
it lackiug iu a single essential in organic
elomeut, and badly managed, produce
poor crops, while a poor soil often gives
a good crop in the bauds of an intelli
gent, prudent and skillful farmer. This
an ! other controversies in which learned
writers and experimenters during an ex
tended period are settled, and we know
now that the soil to produce good crops
must contain both mineral and nitrogen
ous elements in suitable proportions.
We have learned that a plant requires
all the organic elements—oxygen, hy
drogen, carbon and nitrogen—and tlist
beside tueee there are a uurnWr of inor
ganie elements that entwr into the struc
ture of every plant, among the uutst es
sential of which are lime, potash and
phosphoric acid. In a peeubar species
of plants these elements always exist in
the same proportion; the same elements
which are found to-dav in a stalk of corn
have always been found iu precisely the
same proportions, and always will be
found there to the cud of time. The
development of the plant may vary
with circumstances, but the relative
quantity of Its constituents :s always the
same.
To supply to plants the food required
for their life and health, and to produce
he best returns, is what is required of
the soih To enable it to do this, we
mnst use it properly—snpply it with the
matters required, iu order that it may
honor the drafts made upon it. We
keep it ia good heart, and by judicious
management, instead of allowing it to
deteriorate, constantly increase its fertil
ity.— Wetfem IfttrttL
A Picture lu Hair.
In the show windows of a sewing ma
chine company in New York city, is an
allegorical political picture representing
the condition of France at the close of
the Franco-Prussian war. Doubtless
mauy persons pass it with a mere glance,
not knowing that the entire picture is
made of fine hair. It is the work of M.
P. Loon, who claims to be the only liv
ing artist in h%ir. It took him six
months and a half to finish the picture,
which uow looks as though made with
charcoal or crayon, so perfect is the
shading.
It is four feet three inches long by
three feet two inches high. In the cen
ter and foreground stand President
Thiers and a female figure of the Re
public, supporting France, which is
represented by a wounded female in
semi-prostrate position. In the back
ground are the villages of France, partly
devastated by tae war. On the extreme
left, and in the background, is a female
figure brandishing s flaming torch, while
closely pursuing her is a soldier of the
new bora Republic, This represents
the Paris Commune. Below this, and
in the foreground, is the grave of Napo
leon, with a dead eagle lying on it. By
the side ol this is a blasted tree, repre
senting the departed glory of the dead
hero. On the right, and some distance
from the central figure of France, are
standing two female figures, hand in
hand, looking earnestly at France, while
behind them stands a German soldier
on guard. This represents the province
of Alsace and Lorraine, guarded by Ger
man. Winding through the right and
center background is a river, represent
ing the line of demarkation between
France and Gennrny. Just to the left
of the central figures, and in the back
ground. .ire bales of cottons, pillars, and
a ship, representing oommerce, agricul
ture, and architecture revived in France
sinoe the birth of the new Republic,
In the Leavens, to the right of the cen
tral figures, is the Spirit of the Universe,
with outstretched hands, offering France
money where-with to pay Germany. As
a whole the picture is well designed and
skillfully worked.
Mutilated Currency.
A New York correspondent writes :
The Treasury does a heavy amount of
bnsiness aiuee the specie received at the
Castom House for duties is deposited
here daily,. This is equal to $3,000,000
a week, and indicates the immense
arnoaut af our importations. The re
demption of mutilated currency is
another fcature in this institution. As
our govefnment has $400,000,000 green
backs in circulation, the "wear and
tear" mast be incessant, and at least
one-tenth that sun is annually ex
changed for new money. The amount
of this business seems controlled by pe
culiar motions of internal traffic. The
receipts af mutilated currency increase
from the beginning of January to the
Ist of August, an 1 then th"y slacken
until the close of the year. Daring last
July the .amount was $700,000 a week.
The worn-out money is tied up by the
clerks in packages a foot and a half
square, wUiob are then packed in chests
and dispatched to Washington. The
amountglms sent would fill two enor
mous Saratoga trunks every week.
The IQ renter of Photography.
The inventor of photography was
Joseph Nicepbore Niepce, born March
7th, 1765, in Chalon-sor-Baone. After
serving in the army for one year, he waa
obliged bv severe illness to resign, and
was appointed civil administrator to the
district of Nice. which post he held
from 1795 to 1801. He afterwards de
voted himself to chemistry, and as early
as 1813 uade a series of investigations,
which he Styled hilliographic researches,
to find the means of fixing images upon
rae'allic,plate* by the agency of light.
In 1829 jip entered into copartnership
with Dagwerre, who had been engaged
npon thfl same problem. He died July
stb, 183$, before he had perfected bis
his disaovery. Bnch is an outline in
brief ot the great inventor's life, to
whose memory it is now proposed to
raise a statue. For this purpose a com

"Mr. Ellison," said the Gr.iphic re
porter to the inventor, " how about the
phonograph ? We dou't hear so much
of it as wo did."
" No, we don't, and it is a good tlnug
for the phonograph. It was talked al
most to death at first, but during this
refreshing silence the phonograph ia
improving very fast, Oiune up t< the

Aud "i' wont Willi hitu up to the

H. Johnson, secretary of the Phonograph
Oomjvany, in ehargt, surrounded by
noise and machinery. " You mav *av
Uiis fiir the phonograph," said Mr.
Johnson, "that it is making faster
strides towards perfection than any
other invention tins country has pro
ducts!. Those who became familiar
with the first machines turned out here
would hardly kuow that splendid phono
graph vender, would scarcely recognise
either Jta shape or its v.iee " —and he
steppetl to the bench ami sang into the
mouthpiece. Throwing it out of gear
aud shoviug the cylinder hack with one
movement he turned the wheel again
aud the song was reproduced with a
sharpness and accuracy iff inflection
that we had never seen beliwv.
"That ts our model machine, said
Edison, "aud Johnsou is practicing on
it every day, determined l*> make it per
fect, "
"Auvbody," said Professor Johnson,
"who has used the phonograph very
much kuows that there are time* once
in a while when for a moment the ma
chine will reproduce the Voice with an
aeouracy iff articulation and fulness of
volume which it does not ordinarily at
tain. Then it will suddenly lose the
Sower, and the operator searches iu vain
or the secret. 1 am looking for the
conditions required to perpetuate that
excellence which is uow only occasional.
I find that throe conditions are re
quired."
"Arc these conditions which yon
speak of purely mechanical and such as
can be ascertained by experiment?"
"Oh, certainly. The first is an ad
justable mouth-piece, so as to regulate
the tympanum and control the amplitude
of the vibratious of the plate. Another
ueed is to ascertain the precise angle at
which the needle should turn. The
third is to learn the very best material
of which hi make the fod. or receiving
tablet. The first of these I have already
provided for by patting iu the month
piece with a thread. The second lam
experimenting on by makiug the needle
adjustable. Concerning the third, we
are still undecided. Boisdes, you see
we have made a groove lengthwise of
the cylinder, for the purpose of fasten
ing the foil on easily, and a new and
simple adjustment of the needle bv
screw*. Then this arrangement by which
we throw the cylinder to the le/t, in
stead of having to turn it back all the
way. And some other thing* that we
can't tell the pnblie yet"
" One fact," continued Mr. John
son, "we have established in our
experiments is that the articulation of
the instruments is perfect jnst in pro
portion as the workmanship is skilful
and the parts ore accurately made aud
put together. This is to a groat extent
a protection against counterfeiting and
infringement of patent."
" Then," said the Graphic, " the
instruments now on exhibition through
out the country are very imperfect?"
" They are, indeed. They arc as good
as we could make at the time with our
limited knowledge of the conditions,
and they are very curious. But this is
what 1 want to bear in mind," said Mr.
Johnson, earnestly. " that steady im
provements are being made in the pho

succeed in turning ont a machine wi ich
will be widely demanded -for its practi

Mr. Jo"hnaon continued: " Now, there
ia something else we will show yon.
We will talk to the phonograph here,
and then, when we go down town to our
headquarters, we will send it to yoa by
attaching a telephone to the mouthpiece
of the phonograph. Here, Edison, you
express yourself."
Mr. Edison thereupon sat down to
the large and handsome machine, threw
it into adjustment by a movement of his
finger, and sang into the mouth piece
upon the mica disk, which has been
substituted for the iron disk in the ma
chines first made, the following pathetic
song:

After passing through the establish

which the hundred now phonographs
were being made by the ingenious ma

through the telephone, with all of Edi

The Consumption of Timber.
We have nowabont 90,000 miles of
railroad; the annual consumntion for ties
or sleepers alone is 40,000,000, or thirty
years* growth of 75,000 acres. To fence
these roads would require at least 130,-
000 miles of fence. We have 75,000
miles of wire, which requires in its
putting up 800,000 trees, while the
annnal repairs mnst take 300,000 more.
The little, insignificant Inciter match
consumes annually in its manufacture
300,000 cubic feet of the finest pine.
The bricks that are annually baked re
quire 2,000,000 cords of wood, which
would sweep the timber clean from 50,-
000 acres. Shoe-pegs are quite as im
portant an article as matches or bricks,
and to make the required annual supply
consumes 100,000 cords of fine timl>er,
while the manufacturer of lasts snd boot
trees takes 500,000 cords of maple, beech
and birch, and about the same amount is
required tor plane-stocks and the handles
of tools. The packing-boxes made in
the United States in 1874 amounted to
$12,000,000, while the timber manufac
tured into agricultural implements,
wagons, etc., is more than $100,000,000.
The farm and rural fences of the country
ocnsnme an immense amount of lumber
and timber annnally, bat as we grow
older as a nation this consumption may,
and probably will, be reduced by the
more general use of live fences or hedges,
Onr consumption of timber is not only
daily on the increase, but onr exporta
tion of timber is also rapidly increasing.
Our staves go by the million to France
annually; walnnt, oak, maple, and pine
to England, and spars and docking tim

Oil fur Watches.
Borne interesting hints concerning
watch-springs and oil have appeared in
the columns of the Watchmaker. When
a main-spring is cleaned, most inex
perienced workmen, remarks this jour
nal, will take hold of one end and pall
the spnnitabout half its length, straight
ont, to save time—a practice which will
break springs when nothing else will,
and springs treated thns generally break
after the watch has been delivered to
the customer only a few days. Breaking
into many pieces is owing to the acid in
the oil which is used. Thus, supposing
the mainspring a fine one, and to hare
been evenly tempered and properly
cleaned—if, now, old oil is used, or that
of an inferior quality if fresh, the acid
it contains will eat into the spring, and
finally destroy its texture; the coil near
est the center breaks first, and as it re
coils it breaks every coil there is in the
barrel, and sometimes each coil iB broken
twice, the fact being that the spring has
become so impregnated with acid that it
has no life left. To make the oil pure,
take a good-sized bullet, or other piece
of lead, which has a thick coating of
lead rust, cut it up fine, put into the oil,
and have it stand for two weeks. This
causes the acid to settle, aDd it then re
sembles milk at the bottom; on being
poured oil the top, the oil is in a pure
state. Common clock oil can be treated
j in this manner and made better than
| some watch oil.

Quite often, in the course of tnv ram

nvtuc** of judgment rarely evinced by
a large elaaa of most excellent city folk.
In the matter of liooks, a farmer of the
l-ettcr class generally selects with great
care and with a view to aoli.l mental
food. Hnt a taste for light fiction, poe
try, music ami painting is not wanting.
It ia surprising, indeed, to find how gen
erally the works of the leading British
and American poets and noveliata are
read among the rural classes of the
West. The younger American J**!*
arc as well known, bv their writings,
West as East. 'Even Hawthorne, whom

while sojourning for a fortnight or soon
the shore of cue of onr Western lakes, 1
had the pleasure iff spending several
evenings at a farm house where, as a
member of the family for the time, 1
was allowed to hear oue of (ieorge El
liot's novels read aloud by the farmer's
daughter. Everywhere iu the West the
lea.hug literary journals, both weekly
and inouthly, are subscritwd for by
farmers, for "the pleasure and instruction
of their families, while many of them
take a daily |iaj*or. Hut, despite all that
mu be said to the contrary, the y •"-
rtwricMs, which has by some oue tieou
rendered into English and made to mean
" rusty cuss," still largely asserts itself
iu our rurni region a genus of the
copperas breeches, ginger-cake-loving
ilk, to whom we owe the racy, soil-flavor
ed smack of origiual humor peculiar to
the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys.
Farm life iu the West seeius to have do
velooed broad, comic-humorous ways of
speech aud it cannot 1* denied that
much of this humor, coarse though it is,
p.aaescs the iuimitable charm of out
right home manufacture. Through cer
tain of our local Western journals the
world has of lale caught very distinct
glimpses of it. Hut 1 *ni sure that the
lest Western humor has never vet been
reduced to type. It is scattered about
in rural ueighborhixxls, and uiost of it is
finally lost bv being carelessly thrown
aside as "old." M->st of what has been
giieu to the world, iu books aud months
ly mag saint*, as Western humor, has
lieeu first put through s refiutng process
of doubtful iloetonng, by which some
thing more than a mere mo.licum of the
home flavor has been allowed to exhale.
It mav be enunciated as a rule that the
more ignorant class of West era farmer
discovers a far quicker aud fiuer sense
of humor than diss the somewhat edu
cated and retluod class. So soon as a
smattering of books and uewapapea* get

A Scheme of Murder.

ing incident, wuicli in said to have oc
curred some time ago at the Palace
Hotel in that city. "A gentlemanlike
young man call* upon a lanker, 'wishing

The baukei promised to have fund*

How Spiders Fly.
MOOT observations have been made on
this singular phenomenon, navs a French
paper, bat hitherto with bat little suc
cess. However, a well-known natural
ist, Rev. H. McCook, has for some time
past turned kia attention to tin* subject,
and has succeeded in detecting many
new details in the performance. Very
recently be watched some groups of
young wolf-spiders (Lyroaid't), which
crowded the top* >f railings in a mead
ow. Their faces were turned in the
direction from which the wind was
blowing, the body of each was elevated
to an angle of forty five degree*, the
claws brought together, and the legs
stiffened. From the spinnerets at the
apex of the abdomen a single thread
was exuded, and rapidly drawn out to
a length of several feet by the breeae.
Gradually, the foremost pair of legs
sank to the level of tire wood, aud the
entire attitude became that of intense
resistance. Then, suddenly and simul
taneously, the eight claws were unloosed,
ami the spider mounted with a sharp
bound into the air, and went careering
across the field. As far as could be
judged, the insect seemed to take a
voluntary leap at the moment of loosing
its hold. One of them, by good fortune
was followed through its flight. The
position of the holy was soon reversed,
the head being turned in the same
direction as the wind. Tiie legs were
spread out, and were nnitod at the claws
by delicate filaments of silk. After fly
ing a distance of about eighty feet, the
spider gradually settled down on the
meadow. The difficulty of these olwerva
tious will be readily understood, for
they require exact suitability of posi
tion as to light, the limitation of the
flight to a moderate height, and a com
paratively slow speed.
A (Quaint City.
In the old Dutch citv of Amsterdam
all fashionable booses border on aeanal.
The streets art' named from th canals
that pass through them. Tha houses
are not built upright, but lean toward
one another, as though very polite or
systematically drunk. Their tops often
nearly touch over the narrow streets.
This is saiii to shelter them from the
storm. In the gable is a large hook for
hoisting every conceivable thing into
the bouse* clothes, which are always
sent to the country for washing, fruits,
butter, coal, turf. Little mirrors jnt
ont from mauy windows, so that callars
may be seen as they approach the door.
Owing to the canala the city is very
quiet. It is hard to believe that nearly
300,000 people are gathered In the
houses- which stand along the canals.
The streets are pawd with stone, as in
this country, but there is scarcely any
roar of carts or wagons. Boats do
dnty in their stead. Some of these are
propelled by steam; a few flap their
chocolate-colored sails, but the moat are
[mslied through the water by means of
ong poles. These boats bear all man
ner of freight. Many boats furnish the
home for the lymtman and his family.
They are not sirnnly workshops. There
is a kind of homely romance in the boat
man's life. By the side of the canals
there is generally a narrow carriage
path and two foot-paths. A line of trees
on eit her side of the path furnishes a
pleasant shade in summer. The arißto
tsrafs are careful to walk in the paths
next to the canal, as it is a mark of good
breeding.

• • I'rsaa ll Orrnn.
A daring aeronautical feat ia to be at
tempted early in June of ne*t year, ac
cording to a 'Philadelphia paper, which
aaya; I'rofaaaor Ham aid A. King, the
well known aeronaut, pro|>oacM to start
from Now York ou a balloon voyage
which ahall terminate on some portion
of the European continent. Several
yearn ago a proportion waa made to
I'rofeiutor King to uudeitakr tlie taak,
and the anui of flft.UKI waa guaranteed
tiy noma wealthy New Yorker* to cover
the neceaaary eijieuae. For prudential
reuaona the aeronaut at thai time do
cidod to decline the offer, loud winter,
however, while making aoiue e*|ieri
incut* iii ballooua for th Howgate e*-
petition, he waa suocaaafal in uiaoover
ing a mib*tancc of -uch in|eiielrability
that a balloon of a rapacity of 100,1X10
feet would not hate more than one |>er
cent, of ga every twenty-four lioura, i
that alter a journey occupying twenty
daya NO.IXKI feet of gaa would atill re
main. The importance of thia discovery
ia recognized when it in ntated that an
average balloon will lone twenty |>er
cent, of gae in twenty-tonr hour*. Thin
ew idea wa* communicated to the New
Yorkera who renewed their previous
offer. I'mfiwur King at once accepted,
aud the oouatruotiou of the ttalloou,
which will ooenpy the whole of the en
idling waiter and upriug, will lie at ouoe
commenced.
The balloon will Ite the largest in the
world. It will average about uiuety
feet HI diameter and 275 feet in circum
ference, with a capacity for holdiug be
tweeu 800,000 and 400,1)00 feet of gas.
Tne material employed will bi Pongee
silk of a special manufacture, twmted
with aabstauce known ouly to the pro
feasor. The silk will lie doubled through
out. Pure hydrogen gas will tie U*d,
and the ooat of inflation alone ia approxi
mated at $5,000, The oar will be a com
bination of Wait -uid basket, a wicker
framework covered with a heavy rubber
sntuibuioe, which can easily be used aa
a boat in ease of emergency.
"I shall positively start in Juue,"
snnl the profeesor last night "I Con
sider that the montji in which thunder
storms, which 1 do not wish to encounter,
are the leaat frequent. The starting
tvoiut will be either New York or Brook
lyn. I propose to keep in the lower
currents, and to maintain a permanent
altitude of 500 feet U>ve the surface of
the water. I shall entirely discard the
old theory of sailing in curreuta from
west to eiyd at a height of three miles.
When you reach that height the gaa be
gins to lose by exfiaiisioa. Then, when
you begin to descend, ballast must lie
throwu out Yon rise aguiu; more gae
is lost, another descent; a further throw
ing oratboarxl of ballaat, and so on un
til all Ti ur ballast ia goue, and then you
come down for goad. Under my scheme
1 expect to be able to keep in the air
for two montha, if necessary, while
there has never heeu a balloon which
lias kept detached from the earth for a
longer period than tweutv-four hours."
" What period of time do yoti antici
pate the transatlantic voyage will oc
cupy V
" That is hard to say, but I expect to
make at leaat twenty miles an hour. In
addition to the ballast, the balloon will
carry targe, heavy r>pe, which will drag
the water. Thia will have a tendency

which 1 have spoken."
South African Diamond*.
.v-n biter for September, in a eocvud
pa|>er on the amine subject contributed
to that niagarme, gives some very inter
•-sling htatintica about the enormous
yield of (.tape diamonds since their com
paratively recent discovery in that
region. The total yield, up to the pree
rut time, is estimated at 1100^000,000,
and this immense amount ta augmented
by the value of large packages uf dia
monds privately carried away by both
diggers and buyer*. The Caoo dia
monds, which now form the world's only
fctw ly supply, nearly all go to London,
which has become tbe center, not alone
for buying ami selling, bnt also for
cutting—au industry once monopolise*]
by Amsterdam, but now equally shared
by its rival. It will be new to must
American readers that within a few
rears tbui industry has become estab
lished in this ooontry, both in New
York and Boston, where the cleaning,
cutting and polishing the rough stone is
done, as experts tsetify, as well aa it
can be done anywhere. Stone* cut
abroad sre frequently remodeled and
repolialieu in this country, thereby
gaining greatly in value, and others
abandoned in the rough a* not worth
cntting arc here converted into excel
lent brilliants. The entire yield at the
t'ajH i* thn* classified : per cent,
tlrst quality; fifteen per cent, second
quality; twenty per cent, third quality;
ami the remaining fifty-five per cent, is
ground tip and nncil for cutting other
stones. The atones arc oUxsed as "Caj*e
white," "bre water," "uff-oohir," anil
"yellow"—the first being the must nu
merous and least valuable, though
when they were rarer tliev were mtieh
eeteeno-d. If stones of thfs color should
ever lwome pojmlar agaiu, there is now
■torel in merchants' safes in London a
supply sufficient to work up and cnt for
a centnrv to come. White and jmrr
one-earnt stones bring at the Cape Sl'J;
two to three-carat stones, 820 to $25;
four-carat stones, 800 per carat; and
ofl-colored stones up to six carats each.
88 to $lO per carat. It is estimated
tlyit ten |M*r cent of the white stones
find an imtnoibato wle priccifmUy and
nltimatelv after cutting, for the Ameri
can market. American purchasers, it ia
said, are the roost critical judges of dia
monds, and will have only the best
white. The Cape is now sending 81,-
.VKI.OOO worth of diamonds monthly to
the London market, and possibly a
decline in prices, perhaps a panic, may
by ami by result.
Is Tlic Moon Dead
The qmwtion "la the Moon Dead?"
ia ably, though somewhat elaborately
discussed by Mr. Proctor, of the London
JScha. Although the idea tlbit so vast
n surface na that of the moon should re
main forever a aceuc of absolute ailcnce
and desolation a>ema nlmont beyond be
lief, Mr. Proctor does not con
sider that any satisfactory evidence of
change (from her original condition) lias
ever Iwen given, while evidence of such
systematic cliauges as we associate with
the evidence of ltfo are wanting alto
gcther. In several regions the ernat has
bean broken, evidently by explosive
action. In some places mighty slopes
can lie seen, as iu the He* of Herenity,
which ia divided through the center by
a sort of ridge line. Some astronomers
have contended that the darkening of
the floor of the great eraUr, Plato
(some sixty milea in diameter), proved
the existence of vegetation iu some form,
while others declare that the supposed
darkening is only the effect of contrast.
The photographs of the moon taken
manv years ago exhibit the same out
ward appearance as now.
( hanging From King to Snbject.
According to an Arabian paper. At
Janaib, the abdication of King John of
Abyssinia, was an act in keeping with
tlu* sinking romance of bin character
ami cari-er, Meoelck 11, who claimed
to lie the rightful heir to the crown in
virtue of his descent from the Qnoen of
Hhebs, hml bv his pretensions excited
the ire of king John, who marched
against him, and, entering the territo
ries of Hhoa, prepared to attack Monelek
iu his capital, Aukobeo. A band of
priests, however, met the advancing
king, and rebuking him for levying war
uguiust his rightful sovoreign, sum
moned him to abandon his sacrilegious
enterprise and recognize Menelek. King
John was so affected by their words that,
halting his troopß, he eutered the city
and in the sight of his army and the
population laid off his crown and royal
robes and paid homage to Menelek, who
embraced him and oonferred new digni
ties upon him, besides confirming him
in hisorigiual princedom ofKusa. This
story comes iu a very round-about way,
but is quite likely to be true.

lib, a heavy rain having increas- d tba mortal
ity. A Yu-ksbnig duqwicb says tb* ludtcahou*
were that the fiver wa* decreasing in new

Canton. Mint., the number of naw eaaaa was
increasing hourly, the tvhvsicien* ware over
worked. nurse* were needed badly and the situ
ation was sutptned an in tha one word—"horri
ble.' The fever broke out tn Senatobia, Mia*.,
and the citizen* began to abandon the place.
< u the eleventh a stormy and piercing north
wind muted New Orleans and largely increased
the fever mortality, bat was < xpectcd to act a*
a check to the apread of the disease if it con
tinued. Then were ninetv death* and 929
new caoe* in half a day. In Memphis there
were forty-SIT death* op to noon, and 1,000
oofttn were telegraphed for, the supply becom
ing short. The whole number of deaths Ibcwe
on the eleventh wa* 104, of which nineteen
were colored people. The following statement
was made to the public: " W have at that date
9.500 stok to |wood* for, and 10.000 well people
to feed. The average increase of oases t* 100

If the 'fever nuttnnee one month kcmgwr, a* ta

On the twelfth dispatches received from the
infected point* showed that while the diaeaae
continued to attach hundred* of new victim a
daily, the nuutwr of deatba wit* decreasing.
The mortality had gone t>eyond 4.300. A
Waahington dispatch of the twelfth aaya that
l)r. Tease, one of the physiciana who bad re
turned from Memphis, stated that the horror*
of the pestilence were beyond description. The
wealthy had almost entirely fled from Mem
phis, leaving the poor to shift a* they might
for themselves; and to the horror* of the
plague were added those of a condition ap
proaching to famine. The provision atoms
were all rinsed, and the only way to obtain
supplies from them was to break them open,
which was sometimes done Even the drag
stores were all closed except three, and it wa<
difficult to get medicine, even when medical at
tendance had been had and prescription* writ
ten. The batiks were open but one nonr aday.
The commissary dejmt* established by the How
ard Association were besieged by throng* of
colored people, many of whom came in from the
anrroniiding oouutry, risking the jiestiteooe in
order to get free provision* No vohiole* were
seen in the itreeU except dead-carta and the
doctor*' buggies, with an occasional hearse
conveying the remains of some wealthier vic
tim. At nigt the street* were here and there
lit tip with the baleful gleam of the death Are*
that burued in front of each honse that con
tained a corpse. Not of each honse either, for
many a victim died alone after suffering unat
tended, and there wan no one to put ont the
customary sigual. Person* taken sick on
the street* craaled into unoccupied tene
ments, and their corpse* were afterward
discovered bv the smell of their decompos
ing flesh. Many were fonnd dead in the pub
lic parks or under the fence*. Corpse* accu
mulated for want of adequate burial force, and
trenches were then dng in which great row* of
ooffin* WITS deposited aide by side, and one row
on the top of another. Dr. Tease *tat ii that
the peculiar smell of the great |ie*t in t't city
oould be detected at a distance of tin eo mile*.

This hnmnrons hit is from a Paria
pa]M-r: A Brazilian count, a billionnaire,
was dining at the table d'hote of a faah
iouable hotel. His cntlet was to IUB
taste, and he ordered another.
'• We only give one cutlet," said the
manager, " and no bread with one flali
balL"
Witliont a word the oount rose, went
ont, bought the hotel, returned, led the
munager to the front doot and kicked
him down the steps, then reseating him
self at the table, said:
" Bring me anot, 1 er cntlet."
They brought it, swift as the eagle
