As this disease has proved a terrible scourge and one hard to arrest, I think it may be interesting, perhaps, to many to know of a remedy which I tried with perfect success. My long experience has satisfied me that the best practice where diseases prevail among fowls is to use disinfectants. I had some chickens so badly affected as to be partially blind, and in attempting to pick tip corn would fail to reach it where it lay upon the ground' before them. They lost their appetites and wasted away till they became so weak as to lie upon the ground as if they were dead. I never saw any fowls before that recovered from such deep 'prostration. Some of them evacuated a dark, watery and ex cessively foetid matter; and as some of them were common dung-hill fowls, I let tho disease take its course with them, and these all died. Such as I took in hand in time I managed to save. I placed the ailing birds in boxes, on clean straw, and cut away such feathers as bad become soiled by their evacua tions, and as a means of sustaining life fed them twice a &ay with oatmeal gruel, into which was put some finelv- chopped rue; this of course had to be poured down the throats of the sick birds. In addition to this I sprinkled carbolio powder upon the straw in the vknM i 1. t - 1 1 1 uuaco wxiiriu iuu luwiH were piaceu. dusted some into their feathers, and gave thorn a teaspoonful or two of water Blightly impregnated with carbolicacid, which can be had of almost auv drucr- gist. The ailing fowls were kept apart from those that were in health, and after the administration of the remedy reierreu to, recovered rapidly. I treat ed some two or three dozen altogether, of different breeds, and believe I should have lost all if I had failed to apply remedies.. Hales, in Poultry uuueiin. Household Note. Lamb.

Pulverize one pound of alum and one of salt, and cover the flesh side of the skin, and let it lie for a week or two, and it will be well tanned. They make the best seat for the reaper, raker, com planter, and to throw on the horse to ride from the field to the barn; and if one should be caught in a sudden shower, they would answer for a protection." Poisonous Fly Papers. Fly papers, &f different sorts, are now sold in immense quantities, and positively stated to be perfectly An Estimate harmless to nnirur.l life of a higher or der than insect pests. That the claim Jiarmlessness thus made is not, how ever, trustworthy, appears from a state ment in one of the Loudon technical journals, in which the writer soys that he took four sheets of such tinner nt random, and digested them with dilute hydrochloric ncid, until a pulpy mass was obtained; the pulp was then placed on a filter and washed with diluted wa ter until the filtered fluid amounted to about four pints, and this was evapor ated until only eierht ounces remained. and sulphide of hydrogen was passed into is ior two Hours. .Dunns this time a copious precipitate of sulphide of arsenic was thrown down, and the beaker containing the fluid was there fore set aside in a warm place, to insure us complete separation. The procipv tate was collected on a filter, washed, ana aissoived in dilute solution of am monia, from which it was renrecipita' ted by hydrochloric acid. The pure sulphide of arsenio was finally collected upon a filter, dried, and weighed; the average quantity of arsenious acid found in each of the sheets was 2.55 grams quite enough to destroy a hu man life. A Few IV ords About Ducks. A domestic duck is one of the most valuable fowls of the farmer, but it has one great objection which is, that it is an unmercitul gormandizer, and it is aimcuic to raise. wnere there are ponds or streams, it is as profitable as any fowl ; it is very prolific, and its eggs are perf erred by many to those of the hen. Where they have free access to ponds, they teed on various reptiles, and several species of aciuatio crass. whioh they find beneath the Surface, and which is a very excellent substitute for animal iood. When insects are abund ant, they require no supply of meat, as they obtain a sufficiency of animal food themselves, but when this is not the case, they must be be furnished liberal Jy, or they will speedily die. Potatoes boiled, mashed and mixed with meal, make an excellent article of food for the ducks. They become very fak on it, and when in preparation for the mar ket, it is perhaps the best food that can be given except meat. Young ducks require great attention their voracious habits often induce them to eat to repm tion, and many die' while quite young. iroru no other cause, of Over On Hundred Millions.. The wealth of the Vanderbilt family has been variously estimated, and the retioence of the Commodore himself has admitted of little else than mere conjecture on this point. There is a general opinion, however, among those who are in a position to judge most cor rectly that the wealth vested in Commo dore vanderbilt exoeeds on hundred millions of dollars, . and a prominent member of the family recently said that the " old man " was worth more than that sum. This vast fortune was acquired by Cornelius Vanderbilt through his own efforts, starting early in lifo without capital or inHuenoe, His parents were poor,- and his first monev was earned in conveying people to and fro in a row-boat between New York and Staton Island. He made a laree amount of money in steamboat- ins. but the great bulk of his wealth has been acquired in railroad coinbirm tions and in the manipulation of rail road stocks. lie is and has been all his life a very remarkable man. His self-reliance and pluck are as natural witli him as drawing breath, and his will and purpose are indomitable. A man of such tremendons mental force has he been that he has moved forward to the accomplishment of his objects with a power as irresistible as one of his steamboats. His one purpose in lifo ha3 been the acquisition of money. To this end he has trained his mental and physical resources with the great est care. He has made of himself a machine that has always obeyed the requirements of his intellect, and wherever he has struck it has been with telling force and effect. He has had very few vices. He has always drank moderately and lived regularly, taking just the requisite amount of ex ercise always. Smoking and whist playing are the only indulgences which he has permitted himself to any con siderable degree. Every day ho is to be seen driving on the load, with, the stump of a cigar between his teeth, aud until within a year past he has had every evening some of. his cronies in for a rubber at whist and to talk horse a subject of which he never tires. Lat terly, however, his evenings have been passed very quietly. He has always been a strict man of business, Kept his own counsel, and admitted or known no partners. Ho never allows the plea of ahection or charity to interfere with his business matters. He has been well, active, and in the harness all his life, and has never tired or weakeud He will be eighty years of ace in May. and his sixty odd years of constant hard work show that he has had one of tho strongest physical constitutions ever given to a mau. Some people look at him and say that he will never die, but is well Known that the machine so admirably built and which has lasted long is slowly but surely wearing out. His mental faculties remain un- mpaired, but his gait is less steady than it was, and he no longer trusts himself with the duties he used to per ioral, lie li-equently complains ol. ex- haustion, and when he drives out it is to be noticed that he no longer drives fast. He is getting ready to lay his harness aside, and has, doubtless, made full provisiou for the distribution of his olossal accumulations. For a number years his son-in-law, D. B. Allen, was his right-hand man, but of late years his son William II. has repre- sented him in carrying out the more active duties of administration. Wil liam H. is as assiduous in his attention to work as his father ever was, is arcely, if ever, seen in publia, and can nearly always be found during busi- ness hours at his desk in the Grand Central Depot. Cornelius Vanderbilt was born in May, Ii91, at Btapleton btaten Island, and his parents were also born on Staten Islaud. Their parents came over from Holland. The house in which he was born ia still standing, and is owned by him. At the age of nineteen he married Sophia Johnson, his second cousin, who was then eighteen. She died five years ago last August. She was as remarkable a woman as he was a man, possessed great firmness, a very shrewd manager, strong principle, and it ia said she earned every dollar that she spent after her marriage. Thirteen children in all were born to them, nine girls and four boys, of whom are now living eight daughters and two sons. Your Daughters. Look not only to the material com forts of your daughters. Be generous to them in a truer sense than that of heaping trinkets on their necks. Train them for independence first, and then labor to give it to them. Let them, as soon as they are grown up, have Borne little money, or means of making money, to be their own, and teach them how to deal with it, without needing every moment somebody to help them. Help them to help themselves. Fit them to be able to add to their own ' means, rather than to be forever pinch ing and economizing till their mind are narrowed and their hearts are sick, Give all the culture you can to every power which they may possess. If they should marry they will be the happier and the better for it. If they should remain among the million of the un married, they will bless you in your grive, and say of you what cannot be said of many a doting parent, by his surviving child:.' "My father cared that I should bo happy after his death as well as while I was his pet nJ his A Family Murdered, A family of five persons, who lived near uentreviiie, t. uiair county, ill. , were brutally murdered. The names of the victims are Fritz Steizenriede, aged 80 years, his son and daughter-in-law, and two small children, one an in fant. The throats of the two men were cut, and the skulls of the woman and children crushed in. Sheriff Hughes of St. Clair county went to the scene of the tragedy, but obtained no clue to the assassins. The house is some distance from any other dwelling. It is believed that the mur ders were committed the night before the discovery, as the bodies of Mrs. Steizenriede and her children were in the bed when found, and that of her husband on the floor beside a lounge on which he slept. The heads of the men were nearly severed from their bodies, while those of the mother end children were crushed with some blunt instrument. The County Court has of fered a reward of $1,000 for the capture of the murderers. At the inquest held several witnesses were examined, and facts elicited which lead to the belief that Frederick Boeltz, husband of a sister of Mrs. Steizen riede committed the horrible deed. He was present, but refused to testify un til forced, and then his answers and general conduct were such as to excite the strongest suspicion of his guilt. He acknowledged that he had been on bad terms with the murdered family some months, that he entertained feel ings of enmity toward them, and was in the old man's debt several hundred dollars. The fact that the house was not ransacked nor pillaged, and that the old man s money was untouched, established beyond a doubt that the murder was not committed lor piunaer, and tends more strongly to fasten the suspicion upon Boeltz. A Veteran. The Bishop elect of Athabasca, in the northwest territory of the Dominion, has well earned his pro motion. For more than eight years he has lived in the Arctio regions, seeing no white men except the Hudson Bay Company officials, and preaching in eicht different dialects, three of which are. in fact, distinct languages. There are vfirv few fires used in tire region. The neoule live in snow houses warmed with oil lamps, and eat nothing but animal food.

The Xenato unaiuaiu, m ii ui'i pj, alluded to the death of Senator Bumner, say ing ! " O Lord, we come to Thee this morning under the dark shadow of a heavy grief. A vacant chair is berore ns. A nome presence has been borno hence to be committed 1 earth to each, dust to dust, ashes to ashes.' lie shall not come to ns again, nut we euau go 10 him." Tetitiona were presented rrora tue west against au increase in the volume of paper currency. Mr. Frellughuysou. of N. J., said the Civil Rights Bill was ready t be reported to the Seuate, having received the approval of the majoritv of the committee. The late Senator Sumner was tho author of the bill. The Senate then resumed the consideration of the bill to equalize the distribution of national bank currency, and Mr. Logan, of 111., being entitled to the floor, addressed the Senate in favor of the bill. He said as Eng land and Franco, according to wealth and popu lation, have a larger amount of money than we have, then whatever prevents panics there, the same cause ought to produce the same effect here. He added that speculation in rail roads was the cause of the panic, and that this speculation was induced by an abundance of money. The railroads sold their bonds in Europe, Why do we go to Europe to sell our railroad bonus ana pay interest to foreigners r Simply because wo had not the money here. Mr. upencer, or Aia., irora tno uommutee on Commerce, reported lavoraniy on tno House bill to improve the mouth of the Missis sippi river, appropriating $30,000 for that purpose, such appropriation to be available from the passage of the act, and asked its im mediate consideration. The bill amendatory of the act to provetit the extermination of fur-bearing animals, and tho bill to authorize the employment of certain aliens as engineers and pilotB were passed. Mr. Jones, of Nov.. submitted a resolution instructing the Committee on Commerce to inquire into tho expediency of directing a survey to oe niauo oi tno Colorado aoscrt. wnu a view of submerging it with water, and also the effect of such submersion upon the climate in that locality, io. Agreed to. Mr. imckuigiiam, oi conn., submitted a resolution instructing the Secretary of the Intonor to commnntcato to tho Senate tho number of Indians captured or killed by the United states troops, including women and children, during tne year li.l, together wnu the number of citizens aud soldiers killed by the Indians during the samo period. lne committee on Appropriation nave re ported in favor of striking out the last section of tho army bill as it passed tho House, whirh provided : That all claims of all citirons who remained loyal during the war . for Btorcs or supplies taken or furnished during the re bellion for tne use or tne armv or the tinted States and for the nno or loss of vessels or boats while employed in the military service of tne tuitoa states, including any sucu claims now penning and undetermined in any depart' meut ot tne uovernment, snail bo presontod to the Southern C'lSims Commission before November II, 1S75, who shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine the same. Mr. tftovenson, or ivy., offered an amend ment conferring upon the Court of Claims jurisdiction to detormino all claims growing out or tue war or persons wlio remained loyal or who took the oath of allegiance under the President's proclamation of December, 1803, and abolishing the trouthe.tn Claims Coni- miseion. Sir. Frelinghnysen, of N. J., denied the obligation of the Government to reimburse citizens for property destroyed m the enemy's country. Mr. htovonsou argued that the Government was bound to malte full compensation for property taken or used by its troops, or de stroyed otherwise than in actual battle. Mr. Hager, of Cal., presented a resolution of the California Legislature instructing the Sen ators aud ltepreeentatives from the State in Congress to use their influence to have articles 5 and G of our treaty with China modified, so as to discourage the further immigration of Chinese to our shores. Mr. II. said there were now 80,000 Chinese in California, and not one in a thousand came there in accordance with the treaty. Tho food of the Chinese was inex pensive, and it was impossible for other labor to compete with it. Thousands of our own people are now in the streets of Sau Francisco destitute of the necessaries of lifo, because they have been crowded out by Chinese labor. China might send to this country a million or even five millions of its surplus population without experiencing any inconvenience there from. Females are brought here from China for purposes too vile for him to mention. The people of California are powerless to adminis ter any remody, aud they appeal to the Con gress of the United States to take some action. The Senate resumed tho consideration of the - Army Appropriation bill, the pending question being on tho amendment of Mr. Stevenson conferring jurisdiction upon the Court of Claims to hear all claims urisiiur from the late rebellion, and abolishing the Southern Claims Commission. This was tabled. Mr. West, of La., said over $4,000,000 were saved by this bill, and an army of 25,000 men was large enougu. Alter discussion, tue Army bill, re' ducing the army to 23,000 men, was read a turd time aim passed. Mr. West, of La., presented a memorial of tho Now Orleans Grange for an increase of the duty on sugars, and said that the present method of valuing sugars enables the refiners to impose upon the Government to the preju dice of the homo producer. Mr. Morton, of lnd., presented a petition of the citizens of Texas, alleging (hat the late Gov. Davis of that State had been deprived of bis office four months before the expiration of his term, aud that the election there in Novem ber last was in violation of law. Mr. 8 her man said from the beginning of tho session the new Finance Committee had been hard at work to perfect a bill. Over sixty dif ferent propositions in the shape- of bills and petitions were before them, and it was a diffi cult matter to agree upon a general plan con cerning all the propositions. HOUSX. Resolutions were presented reciting the al legation that bills for advertising have been presented to the Treasury Department, which advertising had been done in violation of the law of tho 15th of July, 1870, requiring written orders for all advertising, and directing the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish copies of all bills and of correspondence relating thereto. Adopted. The Legislative expenditures being under discussion, au amusing debate followed, in which Cox, of New York, took part, and said : Members would go home to their State Con ventions and their County Conventions, and would present resolutions that it is the duty of all men to practice economy, and yet they would vote donn all nroDOsitious'to reduce expenses : but when the yeas and navs were called they would not be mere, lie himself did not belong to anv Bide of the House. He was not parti cularly in affiliation with any ; one side or the other, lie was au eclectio philosopher, ua picked out gentlemen like the Chairman and many other distinguished members ou both sides, and made his party with them. He un derstood from distinguished Western men that hardlv a member ou either tide of the House would ever come back . Mr. (,'oburn. of lnd.. Chairman of the Mili tary Committee, reported a bill to provide for the gradual reduction of the army, wuicu was made a special order for the first Tuesday in April. The bill contemplates the reduction of the army bv the ordinary caussB of depletion to nine regiments or cavalry, four or artillery, and twenty or lutantry. The in air laid berore tho senate the me' morial of Mrs. D. It. Lawrence, of New York, announcing that the tidal wave of temperance would soon reach the city of Washington, and asking that the band of praying women be received at the bar of the Senate, and that the present occupant of the chair, with senators Chandler ana oprague, be appointed a com mittee to receive them. Referred to the Com' mittee on Finance. When the bill to restore the rights of Louisi' ana was reached it was laid over, on motion of Mr. West. Mr. West explained the provisions of the army bill, saying that the total amount appro priated for the support of the army for the present fiscal year was $31,796,000. The origi nal estimates for the next fiscal year were &3i,Di3,uou, but under the new revised esti mates they were reduced to $34,218,000. The House had voted for 628,301,916. The Senate Committee on Appropriations had reduced this amount to $27,733,500, or (4,733,500 less than the amount appropriated for the present fiscal year. The reduction was mainly due to the curtailment of the army from 30,000 to 25,000 men. Mr. MeUish, of N. Y., moved to strike out of the appropriation bill the item for mileage, and said that it was time that this great American swindle wasaTjolisbeu. Mr. Ulvmer. or ra sustained the amendment, and reviewed the action of Congress on tue repeal of the Salary bill, 'baying that when the Seuate substitute was aureed to in the House it was stated puuuoiy aud privately that when the proper time came the mileage portion of that substitute would be struck out. The mileage feature of their pay had been always deemed odious by the American people. His colleague (Mr. Smith) had shown that 196,000 had been paid to member of the last Congress for mileage, while the actual traveling expenses for this session, with 49 additional members, was only 1 46,000. He had shown, therefore, that J200.000 was given away in this manner, and he submitted that the sum was worth saving, Mr. Tremain, of N. Y., argued that as the present Congress had de liberately declared that the compensation of members should be f 5,000 and mileage, tho House was bound to legislate In conformity with that. A bill appropriating $250,000 for an Iron and masonry bridge across the eastern branch of the Potomac, rear the present Anacostia brid eo. was reported from the District Com mittee, and after diBcusslon the enacting clause was struck out. The currency bill was passed by the House fixing the circulation at 400,000.000. A num ber of amendments were offered to the bill but rejected by large majorities. The bill was passed by a vote of yeas, 108 ; nays, 77. The following is the text of the bill I A bill to fix the amount of legal tender notes at 400,000, 000. Whereas, The existing uncertainty ato whether the amount of legal tender noteB now authorised bv law to be kept in general circula tion is 4356,000,000, or $400,000,000, is calcula ted to derange the business of the country aud unsettle values, therefore be it enacted, A-o., That tho provisions of law existing prior to the passage of the aot approved April 12, 18G6, entitled, " An act to amend an act to provide ways and means to support tho Government," approved March 3, 18G5, be and the same are horobv declared to be in force so as to authorize legal tender notes of the United States to the amount of $400,000,000 to be kept in general circulation, and tho total amount of United States notes issued or to be issued shall never exceed 8400.000.000. Mr. Smith, or i'enn., moved to suspend tno rules, and make in order to the Legislative Appropriation bill an amendmont that mileage shnll not bo naid to members of Couereus. but in lieu thereof actual traveling expenses. The motion to suspend the rules was not seconded, OS to 85. Mr. Lawrence, or Ohio, offorod a resolution instructing the Committee on Ways and Means to inquire into tho expediency of repealing stamps on matches and bank checks, and re viving in lieu thereof the intornal rovonue tax on lotteries, theatres, and placos of public amusement. Adopted. After three hours' discussion of the Georgia coiitestcd election case, the minority resolution that llawls, tho sitting momber, was entitled to the seat, was rejected, 77 to 133, and the majority resolutions declaring Sloan, tho con tcsiant, entitled to the scat, were adopted, 135 to 74. It was a purely party voto. Mr. W. It. Roberts, of N. Y. I am re quested by tho Workiugmon's Committee of New York to present a memorial to the House of Representatives in favor of tho Eight-Hour law and for tho removal of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury. The momorial is signed by 20,000 pei-Bous. representing tho Typographical Union and tho various trades and laboring societies in Now York city. In presenting it I desire to express my entire and full approval of the objocts of tho memorialists. Ordered printed. Tho House proceeded to the discussion of the hill to rcgniato lnter-stato railroad com merce, and Mr. Willard, of Vt., niado au argu ment against the bill. He declared that every impulse of his nature was on the' side of the pooplo in any controversy with tho railroad companies, and it be could be shown a safe, a wise, and a constitutional means to put res! no tions upon them, he would be in favor of adopt ing it. The powers, lights, and duties of those corporations were wholly created by State laws, and it was just as milch au impairment of vested rights for Congress to hay that any railroad shall carry freights at any particular price, as it would be to pais a law that they should carry freight for nothing.

Mr. Russell of Leicester, has lately bought, in Connecticut, a fine herd of twelve Ayrshire cows ana tue bull lion nie Scotland, to be sent to one of his great racing stables in New Jersey for the use of weaning thorouglibrea toais. The great object with breeders of race horses is to mature thoin early, and to have them In racing form at two years of nge. In order to do this the colt must eat, in his first year, all the milk of a good Ayrshire cow and as much of bruised oats as he can digest. In his second year his exercise begins, and then he'has milk and from eight to ten quarts of oats per diem. Some stout colts, at twenty months, will "get away" with twelve quarts of oats each day and run half mile trials, carrying one hun dred pounds. The milk of the Ayrshire caw is preferred for colts, as it is not so fattening as tho richer milk of the Jerseys, but assists more in the forma tion of the bono and muscle, that are the delight of the race horse breeder. Among the cows in this herd are High land Mary, second daughter of the bull that took the first ond sweepstakes pre mium at the Now England fair in 1864; her daughter, Highland Lady ; Ruth, a noble cow, bred by Mr. C. M. Pond, of Hartford, Conn., and a fine daughter of the celebrated cow Jessie Pond. A Pennsvlvania boy cut his throat. but that din't kill him. lie couldn't eat anything, and that did.

Com A Mississippi Break, There has been a break in the Mis sissippi levees between Vicksburg and Memphis, ana the Jieraia ot tne lormer city predicts the most disastrous re sults. It says that not one planter in ten in the two levee districts between Vicksburg and Memphis has saved enough money from the crop of 1873 to supply him with provisions ior tne nrsi six months of the present season ; that thousands of negroes have been brought from Georgia and Alabama by men who have expended their laBt dol lar to procure labor, and must rely on credit to get food for their hands until they can raise a crop ; and that with all nope oi a crop destroyed, ii is impos sible to estimate the amount of misery which will fall upon the sufferers by the break. The first flood nnds ine most important points in the chain of defense so poorly fortified that it sweeps through the flimsy barriers, lay ing waste the most proline territory in the State. Not only the planters, but the helpless negroes dependent on them, will be severe sufferers from this state of things. Trouble Among Miners. A number of the coal miuers in Mi- nonk. Woodford couutv. Illinois, re- cently formed a Miners Union, and the proprietors of the mines discharged all the members of the union and filled their places with Norwegian miners Afterwards the discharged miners crathered at the shafts and endeavored by threats and persuasion to prevent the new hands going to work, but wero unsuccessful, and were sent off the nremises. The wives of the discharged miners assailed the new men and the President of the mining company with eggs and other missiles. The trouble reached the dimensions of a not, which the town authorities were unable to sup press, and Gov. Beveridge was tele- craDhed for military aid. The Gover nor dispatched Adjutant-General Hig- gins with a quantity oi arms to me scene of trouble, and telegraphed the Sheriff to aid in suppressing the diS' turbanee. A number of the rioters were arrested and were tried before Justice of the Peaco. Th-r Organ as a household instru ment has been rapidly growing in favor and the vearlv sales are now enormous.
