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.

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

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

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

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

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

marshal should be proud of possessing
a wife so fearless and brave .His narrow

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 exportation of freSh beef and mut

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.,

shipped mainly from this city, but were
interested in shipments from Montreal ;
the others shipped exclusively fromNew

and all, except the firms of Sherman &

meat cool by either forcing or drawing
air through layers of block ice and thence

And during the year 1876 and 1877 there
were sent from Philadelphia 4,b77,obU

2,387,040 pounds. 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

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.

colossi might start up on the banks of
the river, or come forth from the hill
sides of the interior, when the clouds of
sand have been wafted away ?" All will
be discovered in good time; we are not
et ready for it; it is desirable we should
ie further advanced in our power of in
terpretation before the sand be wholly
blown away. But in truth it will need a
high wind to do it, begin when it may.

Closeness of the Senate.
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.

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.
