A case ot note was that of Thomas Jeflerson Bosk, of Texan, who was a member ot the Senate in 1S30, and who comnitted suicide just after bis retire mnnt from that body by shooting. Whether the story of Senator Uisk's atfifi1 i. o fiv rrrttu ajt that rf Snatnr King is uncertain, and it can only be given aa gathered bat not an a matter of historical record. Senator linsk was vny prominent in Texas, which State he reppjeented in the Senate. He had oeen Secretary of War in the Republic A Texas when it was a republic, and had held other prominent potations there. In the early history of Texas, many of its citizens were, the story toes, men who had fonnd it convenient to leave their former residences on ac count of incidents which law and good society did not tolerate. The story that this was the canse of Mr. Husk's removal from Sonth Carolina to Texas bas never been vewued, bat there was such a story. It is alleged that his leath was the result of hiving this sort of charge thrown against him in the Senate during a debate. His suicide t as by shooting, and occurred at his home In Texas soon after leaving the Senate. A Kentuckian whose illustrious ex ample Mr. Culbertnon tried to follow, was Congressman Hise, who represented that State in the 3'Jth Congress and had been ejected to the 40th. He had also been United Stats Minister to Qnate- I mala and had likewise taken a promi- I cent part in the negotiating party be- I tween the United States and Great j Britain immediately preceding the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. His suicide was supposed to have been the result of monomania caused by overwork. Still another Kentucky suicide was that of James U. Johnson, who was iu tne 31st Congress. He killed himself at Owensboro, Ky., daring a fit of des;onuency caused by illness. Whether Mr. John wing, who rep resented Indiana in the 231 and 25th Congresses, committed suicide is not staUd in history, but his death was at least a curious one. He was fonnd sitting in his chair at Vincennes dead, and the following couplet, freshly written, lay beside him: Here Hps a man irtio !ove his friends, llu uud, Bui country, sad Vuiceuucs.' Felix McCounell, of Mississippi, was one ot the most oruuani orators in tne 2Sth and 23:h Congresses, but Felix had a weakness for honor, so the story goes, aud alter a long spree cat nis throat in the St. Charles Hotel in Wash- irgton and died.

A large crowd was gathered about Dr. Ai Watts' well-known repository at the corner of Lincoln street. Dr. Watts' assistants were unloading a huge cage from a wagon, and the motley throng of bystanders were watching the curi ous animal, vainly trying to sett'e w hat it was. "Come up stairs," said Dr. Watts. The doctor entered a large room in which there were animals of various kinds. You could see nearly every kind of dog and monkey. As tbe pro prietor stepped inside to shake hands with a friend, a vicious monkey made a grab at his arm, and to show his affec tion put his teeth through the doctor's arm, causing the blood to How. "The monkey is jealous," said the doctor. "If 1 had soken to him first it would have been all right; he would not have bitten me," The doctor ttvbefore they made in ends with the monkey, huRged him and kissed him to show that he showed no anger. "The animal that you saw in the cage is a Tapirus Ameriellnus. or Sonth Amer ican tapir. It weighs GOO pounds, and is the largest specimen ever bronght to this country. It arrived here this af ternoon from Kio Grande du Snl. South Brazil, by the Dutch brig Alcedo, Cap tain Soreuzea. The species is exten sively spread throughout the warmer regions of South America, particularly in the tropics, but rarely becomes ac climated in North America. It leads a solitary life, passing its days iu sleep, and during the night rambles out in search of its food, which consists of young gourds, roots.to. Its sense of smell and hearing are extremely acute, and its voice, which is seldom heard, is a shrill kind of whistle. Of enormous muscular power, and defended by its tough hide, it is capable of tearing its way through the underwood in whatso ever direction it pleases. In its dispo sition the tapir is peaceful and quint, and unless hard pressed never attaeks man or beast Its most formidable enemy is the jaguar, and it is asserted that when that tiger of the American forest throws itself upon the tapir the latter makes through the most dense and tangled underwood, bruising its enemy and endeavoring to aisiodge him, and sometimes succeeds in the at- tempt.

Several breeds, under different circum stances, could be made into better beef, bat they wont give milk at the same time; and several breeds nnder similar circumstance, would give more milk but they can't be made Into good beef, and are consequently useless to feed out when barren or to rear as steers. The shorthorn can be reared out of the pall, bred or arable land, will give a fair amount of good milk, and can be fed evily in stall during winter into a sala ble condition. Fertilizes. A stick of wood burned on the surface mostly passes off iu gas, leaving only the ashes; but the same stick, if burned in a coal pit. exoluded from the air. forms a mass of carbon of nearly or quite its original size. Now, ail decay of vegetable matter ia a slow combustion, and when this is done under the soil, not only are the gasaes retained m the soil, but more carbon is formed, and this carbon has the power to appropr'ate the valuable gasses al ways present in the atmosphere. The great vame of clover as a fertilizer is due, first to the carbon furnished by the decay of the plant, and second to the fine mechanical effect on the soil i which renders it porous, so that the f atmosphere penetrates it and deposits , plant food. It is clear that better fertilizing effects will result from the plowing of it down to decay in the soil. Ordinarily more can be made out of the tups than they are worth for manure, and if rightly managed, the roots will supply the needed fertility. Colossi. J. i". Tuck, of Kansas, gives aa excellent article on cattle feed ing and states that he weighed five head of shorthora ball calves about one year old, and they averaged nearly 9iK) pounds, having male a growth of 75 pounds a month from birth.

Tmt commonly received advice to orchardists to scrape the rough bark from old apple tree, has been contra- dieted, some having tried it and conclu ded that the practice did more harm than good. The rough bark is a pro tection to the tree lrom sodden changes of temimrature. The benefit often claimed from scraping the trees comes from the greater attention paid to them in other respects by men who take the trouble, Whitewaohing trees is equally lniffjctual for good. DiiiED muck from the swamps is a exceedingly useful material for the gardener. In many sections of tbis country it can be obtained at little more than the cost of cutting, drying, aud carting it. No gardener ever has too much of it. It has many excellent properties. It will make heavy soil light. It will make dry soil moist. It will tcake cold soil warm. It is an ex cellent absorbent of water and gases. It is itaelf a manure, and can be used to fereat advantage in our stables, cow houses and pig-pens, as well as for mixing with immure in our compost heaps. The conveyance of pollen from one flower to another in cross-fertilization la effected naturally by the wind or by the agencr of insects and other crea tures. F.owers that require the aid of in-eots usually offer some attraction to their visitors in the shape of bright color, fragrance er sweat juices. The color and markings of a flower often serve to guide the insects to the honey, in rhe obtaining of which they are com pelled either to remove or to deposit pollen. If hens learn to eat eggs they never forget the tnck and should be killed teach others the habit. ggs should be gathered twL a day daring cold weathei. and only glass or porcehun nest eggs left in at night.

Laterino consists simply ;a bending down a branch and keeping it in con tract with or buried to a small depth in the soil until roots are formed.

The silver dies of the great seal of the coionial and proprietary Govern ment of Maryland, known as the third or Fendull seal, which has been lost ft nearly a hundred ye rs. was lately foand iu tbe Treasurer's effije at Annapolis. For this time it has been impossible to obtain any trace of the seal. The last date of its use so fur discovered was 1793. ,t . Iu the interval or niuety years it has done no work, aud until a few weeks ago, when the silver dies of the seal were discovered among some old reo ords in the State Treasurer's ofiioe at Auuapoiia, it also was supposed to have been irrecoverably lost, A -hort time since a request was made of the State Treasurer to aUow the old papers in the treasury vault to be overhauled, aud thus the silver dies of tne old seal of 1GG3 were found. They were sent to the Commissioner of tie land ofiioe, in whose custody they now are. They are thus described in a letter from Annapo lis: "Their faces are sharp, p!aiu aud beautiful.

Piso's Remedy for Catarrh is a certain cure for that very obnoxious disease. One of the best electric light systems was recently introduced into the Court Theatre at Stuttgart. Omte unexpect edly the orchestra immediately showed signs that they disapproved of the new means of illumination, and thoy havo petitioned the management to restore the old oil lamps. Tba orchestra state that the brilliancy of the electric agate have an unpleasant effect upon the nerves, and that it has become difficult to follow the baton of the conductor. To ascertain whether there may not be something substantial in these alleged grievances a committee of oculists and disinterested musicians have been olli cialiy appointed. Some laborers taking clay out of the Ancholme va ley at Bnggs. Lincoln shire, Eugland, came recently upon i very ancient wooden way at a depth of about seven feet from the surface of the earth. It consists ot heavy beams of oak laid trausverstly and fastned to the underlying glacial drift by oaa" pins. It is thought tbat this way extends nearly across the valley, and tbat it was bunt by neotithio men. At any rate there are six feet of clay on top of it, deposited by overflows of the Hutr- oer; above the clay there is a foot deep of peat, and on the stratum of peat the Pwomana had made roads. The manager of the gasworks at De- venter, Holland, his had recourse t this plan for preventing stoppages in his ascension pipes: He inserts in the mouthpiece end of the retort, immedi ately after charging, a sheet of iroa which fits the retort as closely as pos sible, and has in the middle a hole equal in area to the ascension pipe. The tarry vapors, heavy oils and carbou dust are lor the greater part arrested by this pate, and thereby prevented from rising a few feet higher and con densing on the interior surface of the ascension pipe.

To this ball is attatcbed an iron chain ladder which extends from the ground to the roof, is held in position by the imbedded ball. Tbe bomb is also intended to batter down dangerous wails. Tho same Inventor has also patented a simi lar ladder, which can be suspenbed from a Drackei set in a window of the npper story of a building.
