The Training of Carrier-Pigeons.
The importance of utilizing carrier
pigeons was well proved by the pigeon
posts which enabled the besieged Paris
ians to communicate with the outer
world. In earlier days, when most relied
upon, the pigeon dispatch was necessa
rily of the briefest nature; but science
and art have combined to render this
means of communication more complete;
and now, through the effective medium
of the microscope and camera, thirty-five
hundred dispatches of twenty words
each can be carried by one of these aerial
messengers.
The present state of the pigeon soci
eties of Belgium, where the training of
carrier-pigeons forms a large business,
is very interesting. The increase of rail
ways has greatly extended the number
of pigeon matches. Numerous societies,
both amateur and professional, have
been established in that country, and in
some districts scarcely a village exists
that does not possess one. Since the for
mation of the first society considerable
improvements have been made in the
means of conveying pigeons, and great
care has been taken in the construction
of the boxes and baskets in which they
are carried.
The methods adopted by the Belgian
fanciers for training the pigeons that
are flown so extensively in Belgium are
very severe. In the month of April, as
soon as the young birds can fly, they are
taken by short stages of two or three
leagues at first in the direction of the
place fixed for trial, and the distances
rapidly increased as their observation
and intelligence are developed. Thus
they become eventually acquainted with
all the conspicuous landmarks of the
journey.
Special trains run on Saturdays ex
clusively for the transportation of tbe
pigeons. The trains are ordinarily com
posed of twenty luggage wagon, each
wagon containing fifty baskets, and each
basket holding forty or fifty pigeons.
Thus at the least estimation we have the
number of forty thousand pigeons on a
single train.
It is stated that the Belgian societies
possess nearly a million of these inter
esting birds.
At the different stations it is curious
to witness the opening of the baskets :
the pigeons on being released wheel and
turn until they have rightly adjusted
their course, then in a compact body
they riso gradually higher and higher,
and are soon lost to view. The first who
reach their homes are the ones selected
to take long journeys.
The speed of the carrier-pigeon is esti
mated to be about eighty miles an hour.
For example, a good carrier-pigeon will
accomplish a journey from Lyons to
Brussels in four hours or four hours and
a half.
One of the best towns for carrier-pigeons
is Antwerp, and for many" years
past annual races of seventy or eighty
birds have been flown trom there to
Paris. The meeting, too, at London
last year showed some good results. Al
thiugh the pigeons were imperfectly
trained, a large number of them com
pared very favorably with their rivals
across the Channel. Among the last,
several made a journey to Borne.
The Colorado Potato Beetle.
There is reliable evidence that this
terrible potato pest has been found this
seasan at Lancaster, Pa. As some of the
best entomologists of the United States
live at Lancaster, it was very courteous
f these insects to make their first visit
to that distinguished locality. But it is
more than likely that they exist in many
other locations where it has not been ob
served, and thus we may conclude that
the enemy is generally upon us.
It has been known that it has been
advancing pretty rapidly the few past
years, and last year it was quite abund
ant in Ohio. We shall probably not
hear much of them in Pennsylvania this
year ; but next year we shall no doubt
be able to luiiy measure trouble witn
our Western potato growers.
It would be as well to keep a watch
for them in those districts where they
nave not already appeared, and adopt
early measures for their destruction. A
few years ago a correspondent of the
Gardener't Monthly recommended dust
ing the vines Math .Pans (ireen, and this
has now become the standard remedy.
But hand-picking, or rather shaking
them into vessels, is extensively prac
ticed whei-e they are not numerous, and
it is reported that much success tollows
this course.
To those who have not soen the insect
we might say that it is like a large
"lady-bug," the back being marked
with brown and gray lines. There are
ten of these lia.es, and thus the insect is
known as the " ten-lined spearman
In some parts ef the West they appear

A Beautiful Reply. A pious old
man was one day walking to the sano-
tuary, with a New Testament in his
hand, when a friend who met him,
said :
" Good morning, neighbor.1
" Ah ! good morning," replied he, " I
am reading my father's will as I walk
alone."
'Well, what has he left
his friend.
you ?" said
" Why, he has bequeathed me a hundred-fold
more in this life ; and in the
world to come life everlasting."
It was a word in season ; his Christian
friend was in circumstances of affliction,
but went home comforted.

How the Itattlcsn likes Multiply and
Replenish the Earth.
About the 10th of Mav last Drs.
Card well and Westmoreland captured at
Prospect, in the lower edge of Giles
County, near the Alabama line, a rattle
snake four feet three inches long and
five inches in circumference, when
captured it had eight rattles and a but
ton. Since that time it has been con
fined in a glass caso ; it has not partaken
of one particle of food, though it has
been tempted with mice and other small
animals on which tbe reptile is accus
tomed to food. The snake manifested
no inconvenionoe from its confinement.
nor did it lose any in size or bodily vi
tality. Its eyes continued to glisten
like mngnetio steel, and its lancinating
fangs to protrude at tbe appearance ot
any one near the case. Dr. Cotton
thought all the while it was a male.
Though small rats and mice have been
confined in the case with the snake un
til their own hunger urged them to bite
at its scaly hide, the serpent refused to
give them notice or to partake ot lood.
On two or three occasions it has taken
small quantities of water.
On Thursday at one o clock on going
into the back room of the store whore
the case is kept it was discovered that
the snake had given birth to four young
snakes, and by three o'clock Bhe had
given birth to three more, making seven
in all. The young snakes made their
appearance one at a time and in a coiled
or striking position, their eyes glisten
ing and their envenomed tongues con
tinually darting out. The young ones
are each from nine to fifteen inches in
length, and in a state of perfect devel
opment. They are quick of motion and
possess no ordinary spinal vitality, as
they crawl readily to the top of the
case and move with celerity across and
around it from end to end.
What is most singular and contrary
to all the received notions concerning
the reptile, each of these young snakes
has a full button on the tail, which
clearly refutes the idea that they have
to be six months old betore the torrua
tion of the button. The old snake was
lying in her cage in a lethargic state,
with some indications, as the doctor
thought, of increasing the coiling family,
The young snakes coil around her, and
under and over her, and she seems to
have for them the maternal affection of
instinct. This snake has been in cap
tivity near four months, yet during all
that period she has partaken of not a
morsel of food, and has brooded her
seven joung. As to exactly how long
from inception the process of gestation
or incubation has been going on, there
is no means of ascertaining, as we can
only date ironi her captivity.
l)r. Cotton informs us that he once
before kept in the same case a large
sized rattlesnake for three years and
nine months, and that he studied closely
its various moods and changes. This
snake, he says, did not partake ef a par
ticle ot lood tor the farst nine months,
and but little water, tie then gave
it mice, rats, etc., putting the same into
the case alive, and it commenced de
vouring them voraciously. It never
would touch a tame mouse, or a dead
one, fresh as it might be. When a
young rat was put into the case it would
plant its unerring fang in some part of
the limb or body, and then wait until
it died from the thorough inoculation of
the poison. When quite dead it would
turn it over, take it head foremost and
swallow it, evidently drawing nutriment
from the poison its own fangs had in
fused. It shed its skin twice a year
each spring and autumn a new rattle
appearing at each shedding, which ex
plodes the popular notion that but one
rattle comes a year. Yesterday morn
ing the doctor took the case and placed
it in the sun. From the effects of the
sun three young ones died. Two others
became stupefied, but recovered their
vitality on being removed to the shade.

One Animal that Barnum Could 3ot
Tame.
Mr. P. T. Barnum, the great show
man, after having conquered the most
ferocious beasts from tho jangles of Af
rica, and domesticated the most way
ward of animals from the mountains of
Asia, has at last been mode to quail like
a chirping bird under the glare of a ser
pent's eye, and this by a mere woman
discovered not in any country under a
tropical sun, but in the middle of the
great Uity of New York. But this wo
man is no ordinary adversary. Bhe
stands 6 feet 2J inches in low slippers,
and has red hair.
It appears that some time since Mr.
Barnum let the premises at the corner of
Crosby and Houston streets to Mrs. Ann
Pidgeon. When it came time to collect
the rent the fiery tenant refused to pay
up, and after much delay officers were
sent with a process from a civil couit to
dispossess her. The marshals succeeded
in entering the place, but no sooner had
they declared the house under seizure
and left than Mrs. Pidgeon re-entered
it, took an old musket, and threatened
to shoot tbe hrst person who attempted
to enter with another of " them sum
monses from the court." The showman
and his agents had to acknowledge
themselves outdone, and for six Ion?
months Mrs. Pidsreon has remained safe
ly in her castle without any one daring
to interfere trom outside.
The case has at last been brought be
fore Justice Fowler of the Third District
Court. Mrs. Pidgeon has appeared, and
there is hope of a speedy settlement.
Judgment has been rendered against
the defendant, and Justice Fowler has
ordered two of his marshals to serve
writ of eiectment on Mrs. Pidgeon. The
marshals expect a lively fracas when
they ko to carry out the order ot the
court.
How to (Jet Sleep.
How to get sleep is to many persons
a matter of high importance. Nervous
persons, who are troubled with wakeful

strong tendency of blood to the brain

lated or wakeful state, and the pulsa
tions in the head are often painful. Let
such arise and chafe the body and ex

amount of blood from the brain, and
they will fall asleep in a few minutes,

Does Farming Pay. We often hear
it said, There is no longer any money
in farming." In the course of our ex
perience we have heard similar state
ments in other occupations. A printer
adhering, in these days, to the old-
days, to the
fashioned hand press, might make the I
same complaint, and with as much jus- I
tioe as the present farmer who carries
on operations on the same old style, or a
carpenter who makes his moldings by
nana ana planes boards. The improve
nionta in machinery of all kinds have so
quiokenod the demand for labor in ev-
ery branch ot industry, that the farmer,
as well as the mechanic, must abandon
hand labor and use machinery, or his
profits must be eaten up in expenses.
Ilay may be made and put in the barn
by machinory, now, at the rate of one
dollar per acre ; by hand, the rate would
be tour dollars. The old style of crop is
half a ton per ocre; now three times
that is a fair crop. The difference is
just that between eight dollars per ton
ana sixty-six cents. The wide-awake
farmer has this difference for his profits
eight dollars being about the market
price for hay in many places. , The same
is true ot most other crops, grain and
roots especially,
In feeding stock and making use of
manure equally large differences result,
bo ot breeding stock ; the old style root-
er and the modern Berkshire are not
more unlike than are their several values
when made into pork. The same of the
ill-fed, rough-coated native heifer or
steer, and the sleek, well-fed grade Jer
sey or Ayrshire. The same is true of
many farming communities in respect to
roads, fences and schools. All these
must be fitted up with modern improve'
ments, or farming, as a business, must
suffer.
We know whereof we speak when we
emphatically deny that farming is an
unprofitable business. The capital in
vested will, if rightly used, return, in
this branch ot industry, as good an in,
terest as any other, beside having the
invaluable merit of indestructibility. A
workshop or factory may burn up, but
land remains not only intact, but, from
uncontrollable circumstances, is ever ad
vancing in value. So the labor of the
farmer is sure of some remuneration, if
properly directed. Poor farms and poor
farmers are the ones whose farms fail
through drouth or excessive wet. On a
properly-conducted farm, these may
damage the crop, but will never destroy
it. The divine promise of seed time-and
harvest is for the especial benefit of the
tarmer : but it rests with himselt, in a
greot measure, whether'the fulfillment
comes to him individually, or whether
his more enterprising neighbor secures
it. Amer. Agriculturist,
Peak Tree Blight. Some interest
ins experiments are being prosecuted by
Mr. William Saunders, superintendent
ot the Department ot Agriculture
grounds, at Washington, in relation to
pear tree blight, particularly during the
ast two years. A pear tree which was
badly blighted on its main trunk was
made tbe subiect ot special experiment,
Nearly all of the bark was blighted
within three feet of the ground, only
about an inch and a half in width being
lett to connect the upper part ot the tree
with the unblighted bark at the base.
The affected part was removed and tho
sap wood let quite exposed to view ; but
to prevent miury from the air it was
at once coated with a composition ot
carbolic acid, sulphur, and lime, largely
diluted with water. After the lapse of
two years, the tiee has wholly recovered
and the denuded part is again covered
with new and healthy bark. I he treo
all respects presents a healthy ap
pearance. Many other trees much
anocted with blight were coated heavily
with the sulphur compositions and have
evinced marked signs ot improvement,
It is intended to continue these experi
ments on a larger scale, until sufficiently
numerous and well established tacts at.
test the best mode of treatment.
The Department grounds consist of a
heavy, compact, partially undrained
soil, lying low; they are therefore unfa
vorable for the highest development of
pear tree culture. It has been only by
persistent effort that the fruit trees on
the Department grounds have been
brought to their present highly ini
proved state.
Barry says that "blight has never
been known to originate on the dry,
sandy loam of Long Island, not even
with heavy manuring, the drought ot
midsummer always ripening the shoots
so completely that the leaves drop on
long betore trost commences. i he true
source of blight seems to hive its origin
principally in the action ot trost on un
ripe wood, which may arise trom a com
bination of causes.
Preparation of "Whitewash.
Whitewash is one of the most valuable
articles in the world, when DroDerlv an-
plied. It prevents not only the decay
of wood, but conduces greatly to the
healthiness of all buildings, whether
wood or stone. Outbuildings and fences,
when not painted, should be supplied
once or twice every year with a good
coat ot whitewash, which should be pre-
iiaii'i in the following way :
Tiiko a clean, water-tight barrel, or
other suitable cask, and put iuto it half
a bushel of lime. Slake it by po'uring
water over it, boiling hot, and in sunr
cient quantity to cover it five inches
deep, and stir it briskly till thoroughly
slaked. When the slaking has been ef
fected, dissolve it in water, and add two
pounds of sulphate of zinc, and one of
common salt. These will cause tho
wash to harden, and prevent its crack
ing, which gives an unseemly appear
ance to the work. If desirable, a beau
tiful cream color may be communicated
to the above wash, by adding three
pounds of yellow ochre ; or a good pearl
or leaa color Dy tne aauiuon oi iitrap,
vine, or ivory black. For fawn color.
add four pounds umber lurkish or
American (the latter is the cheapest)-
one pound Indian red, and one pound
common lamp-black, tor common
stone color, add four pounds raw umber
and two pounds lamp-black. This wash
may te applied with a common white
wash brush, and will be iound much
superior, both in appearanoe and dura
bility, to common whitewash. Mary

rccnliarltics of the Arabs.
No Arab is ever curious. Curiosity
with all Eastern nations is considered
unmanly. No Arab will stop in the
street, or turn his head around to listen
to tbe talk of bystanders. No Arab
will dance, play on an instrument, or
indulge in cards, or any game of chance,
since games of chance are forbidden by
the Koran. Never, moreover, invite an
Arab to take a walk with you for pleas
ure. Although the Arabs are on occa
sion cood walkers, they have no notion
of walking for amusement ; they only
walk as a matter ot business. Their
,temperance, their constant out-door
habits, render all exercise for exeroiso's
sake unnecessary ; they cannot, there
fore, understand the pleasure of
walking for walking's sake. What
Arabs like best it to sit still, and when
they see Europeans walking up and
down in a public place in Algiers they
say : Look, look, the Christians are
going mad I" The Arab does not even
mount on horseback except as a matter
of business, or for his publio fetes and
carousals. And when ypu do walk, you
must never walk quickly. Just as in
speaking, you should not talk fast
or loud, tor the Koran tells you, " En
deavor to moderate thy step, and to
speak in a low tone ; for the most disa-
greeable of voices is

Indeed, it was observed by a
famous
Arab : " Countless are the vices of men,
but one thins; will redeem all proprie

word which is not Rpoken, I am the
slave." The famous proverb, " Speech
is of silver, but silence is of gold," is a
motto of Arab origin.

Supernatural Visitations.
At Newnan, Ga., as the Herald of that
town affirms, the Rev. E. W. Bingham,
an eminent Methodist pastor, was so un
fortunate lately as to lose his much-be.
loved wife by death. It was feared by
his mauds aud parishioners that the ter
rible bereavement wo aid prostrate him,
and tor a number of days the prostra
tion had every appearance ot lulullment,
Suddenly, however, the heart-stricken
man seemed to throw off the groat bur
den of his grief, and assumed an aspect
of reassurance curious to behold. His
closed windows were thrown open, he
went forth upon his pastoral duties se
renely as of yore, and to any address
partaking ot conuolement his response
was replete with a spirit of almost
cheerful resignation. The chan ge great
ly surprised people, of course, as it seem
ed to go beyond the ordinary resources
even ot Christian laith ; and the current
talk on the subject developed much di
versity ot conclusion until JVlr. liinghani
explained himself from the pulpit.
Opening his sermon on a recent Sunday
with the remark that he should debate
no particular scriptural text, but preach
generally upon the subiect ot supernatu
ral visitations, he went on to declare
that he firmly believed in the ministra
tions ot spirits from the dead to the
living, even as many passages of Holy
Writ describe. As the congregation
knew, his unspeakablo anguish at the
death ot his dear wife had iound a bles
sed alleviation, and it was his duty to
tell them how he had been comforted.
In the hour when his grief had reached
a pitch little short at madness, Uod had
permitted his sainted wife to reappear
to him bodily and assure him ot her own
happiness and loving guard over him,
self. Again in the night, preceded by
heavenly music she had come to him
in her mortal semblance, and he had
conversed with her as in life. On both
occasions, he said, every power of his
mind was in full operation, and he saw,
heard, and understood the vision as his
people could now behold, hear, and
comprehend himself. " I know that 1
am neither insane nor superstitious,'
were his concluding words, ' yet I
would as soon doubt my own existence
as the truth and reality ot what 1 have
told you.

A Bitter Controversy. The tem

on the hianufacturers of alooholio bit

equal bitternoss by the latter, who seem
determined to prosecute the quarrel to
the bitter end. in the meantime a
novelty in tonio medicines is making
immense progress in the confidence of
all classes and conditions of society
throughout the United States and
British America. We refer to Dr. Wal
ker's California Vinegar Bitters,
and we call it a novcltywin tonics be-
causo it contains no alcohol an article
heretofore considered essential in medi
cinal invigorants. The abstemious por
tion of the community approve the
omission, and as the new remedy is
curing dyspepsia, biliousness, nervous
affections, and, in fact, a moioritv of the
diseases, external and internal, which
prevail, it is difficult to see how the
more self-indulgent portion of our fellow
citizens can conscientiously object to it.

the sudden and continually increasing

A Disease With a Thousand Symptom.
Dyspepsia Is tho most perplexine of ail human ail
ments. Its symptoms aro almost infinite In their vari
ety, and tho forlorn and despondent victims of the
disease often fancy themselves the Drey, in turn, of
every known malady. This is due, in part, to the clese
sympathy which exists between the stomach and the
brain, and in part, also, to tho fact that any disturbance
of the digestive functions necessarily disorders the
liver, the bowels and the nervous system, and affects,
to some extent, the quality of the blood. A medicine
that, like Bostetter's Bitters, not only toneB the stom
ach but at the samo time controls tho liver, produces a
regular habit of body, bracos the nerves, purines the
fluids and " ministers to a mind diseased," is therefore
the true and only specific for chronio Indigestion.
Such is the operation of this famous vegetable restor
ative. It not only cures dyspepsia, but also all con
comitants and consequences. Moreover, it is invalua
ble as a preventive of indigestion. No one who chooses
to take half a wineglassful of this agreeable appetiser
and stomachic habitually three times a day will ever
be troubled with oppression after eating, nausea, sour
eructations, or any other indications of a want of vigor
in the digestive and assimilating organs. The debility
and languor superinduced by hot weather are imme
diately and permanently relieved by the Bitters, and
persons who are constitutionally Inclined to look upon
lite " as through a glass, darkly," will be apt to take a
blighter and more hopeful view of the situation under
the genial iufluenco of this wholesome medicinal stim
ulant.

obstructions of the liver, a weakness and irritable state

ment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upof,
these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is
no cathartic fr the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walkhk's

loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of
the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions
