Ammonia A Very Useful Article. We quote the following from compe tent authority : Put a teaspoonful of ammonia in a quart of warm soapsuds, dip a cloth in it and go over your soiled pants, and see how rapidly the dirt will disappear no scrubbing will be neces sary, To a pint of hot soapsuds add a teaspoonful of the spirits, dip in your fork or spoon (or whatever you have to clean), rub with a soft brush, and then finish with a chamois skin. For wash ing windows and mirrors it has no equal. It will remove grease spots from every fabric without injuring the garment. Put on the ammonia nearly clear ; lay blotting paper, and set a hot iron on it for a moment. Also a few drops iu water will cleanse and whiten laces and muslin beautifully. A few drops in a bowl of water, if the akin be oily, will remove all uneasiness and dis agreeable odors. Added to a hot bath, i it entirely absorbs oil noxious smells, j and nothing is better to remove dandruff from the hair. For cleaning hair and nail brushes it is equally good. For heartburn and dyspepsia, the aromatic spirits of ammonia Is especially pre pared ; ten drops, taken iu a wiue glass of woter, will give relief. For house plants, five or six drops to every pint of water, once a week, will make them flourish. It is also good to clean plant jars. So be sure and keep a bottle of it in the house, and have a glass stopper, as it eats away oorks. To Extcrminnie Ponllry I'arasltre. The poll-tick is prevented or got rid of by slightly greasing the heads of the chicks as soon as hatched. The same process repeated once a week, for about two or three weeks, will carry them be yond further danger. Lice can be got rid of by dusting sulphur well into the feathers of the birds. If the chickens sire young and under the hen, dust the hen thoroughly with sulphur, and, pro vided the usual dust-bath be supplied, this treatment will keep the fowls clean, if repeated about once a week. Of the gape-worm it is difficult to say anything positive, though, of course, prevention is best. In order to get rid of this pest, the surest way, when a yard is infested, is to remove the fowls entire ly away from the contaminated ground, I know of a yard that was once infested for mauy years. One year the chickens were all taken across a brook to another part of the farm and not allowed to visit the old ground until too large to get the disease. No trace of the gapes has been seen there since then, although several years have elapsed. Of the remedies for gapes there are as many as there are cures for the tooth- ache. If attended to in time the worms cau sometimes be drawn out with a horsehair or thin feather. Carbolic acid inhaled by the chicks, either in a box or by holding the chicks over the acid heated hot in a spoon over a lamp, will also sometimes dislodge them ; but when the worms get low down in the throat, where the windpipe branches, there is not much hope for the sufferer. The house-mite or spider, that lives in the woodwork of dirty nests, is easily got rid of by cleanliness, whitewash or petroleum and fumigation. A good way is to saturate all the inside woodwork with crude petroleum. For scaly-leg itch, soak the legs with kerosene oil, holding the toes upward, so that the oil will run well under the scales. Two or three applications generally effect a cure. Intestinal worms are .dislodged by a decoction of wormwood, or the leaves may be cut up and given in food, or a pill made of aloes may be admin istered ; but these pests are rarely nuu'cious enough to be of serious con 8 uence.

Pro. line Field of Gold nnd.ftuMet-'i'he W.n derfnl Northern tue Mine. Upon the heels of that greatest of all bonanzas, the Comstock lode, which has given to the world hundreds of millions of dollars in coin and bullion, raue the discovery that all that Betiltoh of NevadA about where Virginia Oity. Gold ftill and Gavsou are now located wft fabu lously rich iu the phWrJnii metals. These metalsv however, existed in dnartfc lrHlflrja, requiring considerable capital td sink shofts, crush , the && and extract the mineral f'iinl the rock, and not till ci'ta, came did the efforts of the miners amount to anything whatever in com parison to the general resulh Like every other .mhjtafj; country, the metal yielding section of Nevada is divided Into districts. Of course there is con siderable diversity of opinion concern ing the productive qualities of various districts, but from present appearance the Columbus district in the county of Esmeralda, will within a very Biiot t time stand head and shoulders above any other now being worked for silver. Be pottt Visitors to that region pronottnee It a field of superior Attraction for the geologist thB capitalist and the miner. The (jolumbus district was discovered iu September, 1864, by some Mexican prospectors. These were not the kind of men, however, to develop the mineral resources that abounded, nttil beillg possessed of little tliergy and less money, it Is hot surprising that their fliiorgies amounted to nothing. They, however, accomplished the purpose of drawing the attention of energetic capi talists to the district, and in October, 1865, Alsop J, Holmes, a gentleman of groat mining experience, with a plenti ful stock of money and energy, discov ered the rich silver mines known as Mount Potosi ledge and the Northern Belle lodes, six miles west of the town of Columbus. The veins thus far de veloped are of suprising richness, and have netted their owner a princely for tune. The ore body is very large and of uniform thickness through all the veins, which vary from three and a half to eight feet in thickness. They run through metamorphic slate, with well defined walls, and seem to be true fis sure veins, and their outlines have been traced for a distance of 2,000 feet with out a break. It is hardly to be believed that the ascetic individuals who profess to look with contempt on the accumu lation of wealth could behold unmoved the enormous riches contained in an ore body 2,000 feet in length, from three and a half to eight feet in thickness and which assays over $100 to the ton for the entire distance. In comparison to it the fortune of the Count of Monte Christo would be a mere bapoteUc. The Northern Belle Mill and Mining Company was incorporated on the twenty-seventh of August, 1874, the princi pal works being located at Uelleville. There are now in the mine five chutes and one vertical shaft, which has been sunk to the depth of 150 feet, thought it is being rapidly carried further down, the inteution being to sink it to the depth of 200 feet, in order to work the mine by machinery. The mine appears to be inexhaustible in richness, there being from three to fifteen feet of body ore, eight feet in the winze, solid, At present there is a daily average of 100 tons of ore taken, which also on an aver nge .$75 per ton. Though the Northern Belle Company has only been incorpo rated three years, for the last twenty-six mouths it has disbursed $1,300,000 in dividends to the holders of stock, an average of $50,000 per month profit, over and above the entire cost of opera ting the mine, which goes into the poc kets of the stockholders. In view of the fact that the mine is only yet partially developed, this is an extraordinary showing, and, at this rate, the stock will soon stand at the head of the min ing shares on the Pacific coast. To crush the ore there are two-twenty stamp mills, and these are kept in full service all the time. Up to the present time the total value of bullion extracted from the Northern Belle foots up 84.000,000. The cost of operating the mine amounts to 860,000 monthly. This in cludes both mining and milling that is the cost of extracting the ore and then the cost of separating the bullion from the ore. It further includes the pay roll of SCO men, the operating force of the mine, whose total monthly stipend, including that of the superintendent and and all officers, amounts to $37,120.75. Some idea may be gathered from these figures of the large amount of money re quired in mining enterprises in Nevada. The amount required to furnish the mines with the necessary mills to work the ore was $325,000, a large fortune in itself, and yet this is bnt one item in the necessary expense of properly conduct ing a-rnioe. Four or five fortunes have to be disbursed before the mine really begins to pay, and the business sagacity and enterprise of any man must be very great to warrant the expenditure of such large sums on what to the masses would appear to be merely a speculative ven ture. From all accounts Mr. Holmes, the principal owner and sole manager of the Northern Belle, seems to possess that business shrewdness and daring so necessary for the development of such a mine. He left New York in 1850 for California, and since that time he has been engaged in mining ventures, first in California and then in Nevada and always with success. By those who know him he is looked upon as a re markable man, destined at no' distant day to stand at the head of the moneyed kiuga of the Pacific coast. Philadel phia Bulletin. A Dangerous Wife to Joke With. The Forth Worth (Texas) Democrat says : Marshal Couf tright, of this town, thought of joking his wife. Arriving at home at a late hour, he entered the front gate, carefully closing it. Cautiously groping his way thither, what was his surprise to see the right hand of his wife lying on the sill of the window. On her fingers she had two gold rings, one of which he proceeded to take off. It be ing rather loose, he experienced but lit tle trouble, and succeeded in the opera. tion without waking her up. The re maining ring was a much tighter fit, and, in his effort to extricate it, his wife awoke, finding her hand (rrasped from without by some one whom she at once concluded was a robber. Quickly pulling her hand away, she was about to scream, but thinking of a convenient six-shooter under her pillow, she again placed her "jeweled hand "on the sill, which was grasped by the supposed burglar, and with the other she quietly reached for the pistol, and rising suddenly, brought it to bear on her husband ; but for his presence of mind in quickly calling her, she would have shot him dead. Mrs. Courtright displayed great presence of miud, fortitude and courage, and the marshal should be proud of possessing a wife so fearless and brave .His narrow escape has completely cured Ivim of any further desire to play the role ol a. mid night robber. TURKISH CARPETS. Haw ttnti tvWe They Are MadeAn Id. terentlna Description, Three small towns Oushak, Koula, and Ghiordess, within the boundaries of Greater Phrygia, in Asia Minor, have preserved to the present day the corpct manufacture, one of the few remaining branches of Turkish indliatry nhd it is V-ather an ihlerfcslihg point to note that this manufacture has not much changed its locality from tilne immemorial. Oushak, the liirgeSt of the three towns nbdv'e metHiohed, is situated on an ele vated plateau between 2,000 and 9,000 feet above the level of the sea. It has a population of over 15,000 inhabitants, of which only about a third are Chrisv t'ans. The' houses are built of sun oried bricks in the usual style of modern Turkish towns, and plastered over inside and out with a sort of dark clay, which gives the place a somber appearance perfectly in keeping with the character of its people. Quaint old fountains and wells, mosques and minarets, overhang ing latticed balconies, and dark, narrow, Crooked and dirty streets characterise the place eveu more tlifth. other towns nearer the Seaboard. Wool in every stage of progression, from the moment it is clipped from the sheep to its final dyed and spun state, fit for the hands of the manufacturer, meets the eye in every direction, and indicates the peculiar oc cupation of the inhabitants of this busy little town, whidhj but for this industry, wonid in all probability have shared the decaying tendency of other Anato lian towns. Almost every household of any im portance carries on the carpet manufac ture. The mechanism employed is of the simplest and rudest description. A vertical frame supports two horizontal rollers about five feet apart. The warp, f any required length, consisting of an upper and lower thread, is wound round the upper roller, and the ends fastened to the lower one, from which the work is commenced by the women and girls, who kneel or Bit cross-legged in a row before the frame. Each workwoman has a cer tain width of work allotted to her, and proceeds' to knot the tufts which form the pile in rows, using different colors to form the pattern. Each tuft is knot ted independently of the others to an upper and a lower thread of the warp. When a row is thus tied the tuft is passed with the hand between the warp, and then beaten down with a heavy wooden comb. The pile is now clipped smooth with a large pair of shears, and the next row above the first commenced with. As the work proceeds upward it iB rolled over the under roller, and a cor responding length of warp unrolled from the upper one, until the required length of carpet is made. The tying of the tufts and the picking out of the variously colored wools which hang in balls over the frame, is carried on with the most surprising rapidity, the pattern being meanwhile worked from memory, unless some new uesign is to oe mntle. jj'orty four rows of pile are thus knotted in the course of the day, and for this amount of labor each workwoman is paid from six to twelve cents daily. It will thus be seen that the women are the sole man ufacturers, that no mechanism or instru ments beyond a frame, shears and comb ore used, and that the design is worked from memory. Yet, with such limited menus at their disposal, these skillful workers contrive to produce the most harmoniously colored, and certainly the most durable, carpets iu the world. We have so far spoken only of the women; the mens' share of the industry is to collect and dye the wool for the manufacturers, and manage the Bale of the carpets when completed tasks light enough, compared to the irksome labor of the females, but quite consistent with the Oriental notion of man's snperiorty over the less favored sex. The dyes which by their permanency have given much of the celebrity to the Turkey carpet, are mostly produced in the neighborhood. Madder roots for the reds, and yellow berries for the yellow ana orange, are grown in the surround. ing aistncts, ana inciigo lor the blue is imported from abroad. The carpets and rugs of Ghiordess and Koula, the other two manufacturing towns, are made on precisely the same principle and in the same primitive manner as those of Oushak, but the work is of a finer de scription, and the colors livelier and more suitable to the tastes of American purchasers than the somewhat dark ap pearauceof the Onshak carpets, which are in almost general use for (.lining, rooms in England. Arizona's Capital. Prescott, the capital city of Arizona, our latest El Dorado, is situated in a small valley or basin, surrounded on all Buies by mountains, and has a pic turesque location. At the first elance it strikes the tourist as being an extreme ly home-like place, recalling many of the features of a New England or Western New York village. The population is now about 4,000 and is increasing with wonderful rapidity, as the fertile valleys adjacent and the rich mining districts round about are fillinc up. Most of the houses are of brick and wood, two or three stories in height, solidly construct ed, and exhibiting good architectural taste. There are few Mexicans and In dians, and in consequence adobe struc tures are a novelty. The city is 155 miles east of the Colorado river, 250 miles northeast of Yuma, and about the same distance northwest of Tueson, the second city in the Territory. The center of the city is a large plaza, now square, which is to be occupied by substantial publio buildings. All the churohes in Arizona are in Prescott, and besides the Catholics, there are three Protestant ministers there. The largest of the seventeen publio school houses in the Territory, a two-story brick, costing 820.000. is in the city limits. Yavapai county, of which Prestcott is thi county seat, is not only the largest in area, but the best populated of the five into which Arizona is divided. Within its borders are some of the finest settlements as well as the most notable evidences of prems tone life. About Minding Up Watches. More watches are spoilt by irregular and bastjr winding up than by most otner Thn onorntion should, if rossi- ble, be performed regularly, and always with a steady and uniform motion, not moving both hands, and nearly as prac ticable at the same hour daily. A watoh should always be kept at the same tem perature; left over night in a stone sur face it is sure to gain, or if the oil geta thickened it may stop.to be started again by the warmth of the pocket. The requisites of a good watch are that the case, whetherof gold or silver, should be correctly made and of fair thickness, the hinges close and smooth, the glass well fitted, th dial of clear, bright en amel, the seconds sunk, aud the whole of good weight when held in the hand. When, too, the dome is opened, the brass-work should look well finished, the edges smoothed off, the steel of a diamond-like polish, and the jewels pale in color, but of a fine, clear luster. THE EXPORT MEAT TRADE. Rapid Increase la the Rhlpmenli of Fresh Beef and Marion to Jreat Britain When and by Whom the HefrUeralln I'roee wa IntroducedThe Kxpnrta. tlon of Live Ntork. From the New York World. The exportation of freSh beef and mut ton in refrigerator compartments was be gnu in;October, 1875, by Mr. T. Eastman, a director of the Sixteenth street stock yard company, ahd for the Inst fifteen years a prominent cattle broker of this city. His first shipment was put on the English market in prime order, but had to be sold at low figures and at some loss. Since then he has been shipping Almost constantly and regularly up to-the present time, using As many as thirty nine refrigerator boxes, which cost up wards of $100,000. He lost three empty boxes by the wreck of the steamer Dakota, otherwise he has been fortunate and generally successful. Following Mr. Eastman were the Samuels Brothers, of this city, and Martin, Fuller k Co., of Philadelphia and afterwards were odded in the order named Sherman A; C4illett, Geo, Toffey k Sons, Morris k Allerton, Snowden k McConnville and StahlneckerA Co., Martin, Fuller k Co., and Morris k Allerton shipped from Philadelphia, the Samuels Brothers shipped mainly from this city, but were interested in shipments from Montreal ; the others shipped exclusively fromNew York. All use ice in large quantities, and all, except the firms of Sherman & Gillett and Morris & Allerton, keep the meat cool by either forcing or drawing air through layers of block ice and thence over and around the hanging meat. The " craven " process used by Sherman A Gillett and by Morris & Allerton, cooled the meat by means of pipes, through which is forced by pumps a mixture of i i i i 1 1 urust'u ice uuu suit. The progress of the trade from its in ception to April 1, 1877, is shown by the subjoined official figures : VminiiH, Potntfh. 1,9)0,000 1,224,307 3,047,217 2,lSt),360 3,374,260 8,624,390 3,2(10,1111 3,9fi0,840 5,797,817 1815 October., 24.H40 81,546 120,06 1876-Jllly November..., December....

Also one cargo from Baltimore, which was a total failure, and other shipments from Canada, The vessels leaving Hew xorK ana fitted with the refrigerators for carrying fresh meat include five steamers of the Williams & Guion line, with an aggre gate measurement used for ice, ma chinery and meat of 4,030 tons; flix steamers of the National line, with 1,585 tons ; five steamers of the White Star line, with 1,523 tons ; four steamers of the Inmau line, using 1,374 tons ; two of the Anchor line, with 340 tons ; two of the Cunarders, with 320 tons, and one of the State line, with about 170 tons. Since April last, owing mainly to the advanced cost of cattle here, but partly to the lock of adequote cold storage and facilities for a prompt distribution and sale of the beef on arrival in foreign ports, especially at Liverpool, shipments of fresh beef have materially decreased while the exports of live cattle have correspondingly increasea. in some cases the refrigerator boxes have been taken out of the steamers, but the great er part of such as have not been used for fresh meat have been filled with but ter, cheese, etc. The exportation ol live cattle lor British markets was begun from this city by the Samuels Brothers in 1874, who sent over twenty-six fat prime bul locks in their first shipment and lost twenty of them on the oyoge. Other shipments followed with better success, aud very recently they sent in one week upwards of 200 fine cattle from New York and more than 300 from Montreal. Mr. Eastman has sent over a few live cattle, Mr. Bushman about 500, Fleishaur & Euelmuth several huuareu ana a num ber of cargoes have been sent from Phil adelphia, Boston and Montreal. Up to April 1 last the shipments from New York amounted to 8,365 head ; from Philadelphia, 1,029 ; from Boston, 849. Since April the business has been in creasing weekly, and exporters are con fident and hopeful of fair profits and assured success for the future. Attributes of the (iems.

Doctor and Musician. A correspondent of the Concord(N. H.) Monitor, says : that a physician in that city, who was attending a sick musician during convalescence, suggested to the latter that it would be agreeable to hear a little music durincr his visits. The musician fell in with the suggestion and frequently regaled the doctor with the concord of sweet sounds. Time sped rapidly away, and the day arrived for the presentation of that little bill for medical attendance, which amounted to about $100. The bill was presented, but the worthy physician was surprised and disgusted "by the presentation of the following counter charges, which he was ultimately compelled to allow ; For playing "Oft in the Stilly Night," six variations, ten dollars ; solo, " Sweet Home," three variations five dollars ; 'German Waltz," one variation, two dollars ; " Yankee Doodle," six varia tions, ten dollars; "Sweet Home," three variations, five dollars ; solo, " Last Rose of Summer," six variations, ten dollars ; solo, " Arkansas Traveler, six variations, ten dollars ; six solo burlesque variations on " Pop Goes the Weasel," ten dollars; "Sweet Allen," fifty cents ; Money Musk," fifty ceuts; " New Century Hornpipe," fifty cents ; "Fisher's Hornpipe," fifty cents; "German Waltz,1' with one variation, four dollars, Total, eixty-eight dollars.

The political complexion of the next United States Senate, which meets in special session October 15. is as follows, so for as the politics of the Senators is at present defined : Republicans, thirty nine ; Democrats, thirty-three ; Inde pendent Bepublican, one. There are three vacancies one from South Caro lina, caused by the retirement of Sena tor Robertson, and two from Louisiana, one being the vacancy caused by the re tirement of Senator West, and the other being known as the Pinchback vacancy, which has exsisted for four or five years past. The applicants for the South Carolina vacancy are David T. Corbin, Bepublican, and M. C. Butler, Demo crat. The applicants for the two Loui siana vacancies are William Pitt Kellogg, .Republican, and J. is. Eustis and James Lewis, Democrats. Should these vacan cies be filled by Democrats, the Demo crats would have thirty-six members. m How Not to Drown. Men are drowned by raising their arms above water, the uubuoying weight of which depresses the head. Other animals have neither motion nor ability to act in a similar manner, and therefore swim naturally. When a man falls into deep water, he will rise to the surface, and will continue there if he does not elevate his hands. If he moves his hands under the water in any way he pleases, his head will rise so high as to allow him free liberty to breathe, and if he will use his legs in the act of walking (or rather walking up stairs), his shoulders will rise above the water, so that he may use less exertion with his hands, or apply them to other purposes. These plain directions are recommended to the recollection of those who have not learned to swim in their youth, as they may be found highly advantageous in preserving life. The man who was "moved to tears" complains of the dampness of the premi ses, and wishes to move back again.
