RENDERING a loose or dry soil firm after seeds are sown, by a roller or by the feet, is an aid to their germination.

A CITIZEN of Sedan, Kansas, having disappeared from that place, the local paper says it is a good riddance, because "he was an enemy of honesty, disloyal to his friends, no respecter of old age, a traitor to manhood, a slanderer of his benefactors, a rebel against God, the terror of good men, and a fit compan ion for the fallen angels."

THERE was never a time when the Republican press of Pennsylvania was in such complete accord on a question ot either policy or principle, as it is on the question of Grant's re-nomination and the folly of the managers of the late State Convention.

A SHARP swindler is working Law rence connty, selling the right of certain terri tory for a patent harrow.

IN Sugar Creek township, Yenango countv, a few evenings sinee, a family went to church at a school house near their home, leav ing several children at home in bed. A brisk fire was in the stove, the oven of which was tilled with kindling. The kindling took fire, sparks fell out and causrht the floor. The chil dren awoke, got out of the house and went in their night clothes and barefooted to the school house and gave the alarm. The doxology was omitted, but the house was saved. FAMINE and disease are ravaging Russia and Persia this winter. In Russia, since November, 40,000 people iu two provinces alone have died of diphtheria, and whole vil lages near Walki have beeome almost depopu lated.

At this distance such tidings are read with but a languid interest and are easilv forgotten, just as mos-t people have forgotten alreadv that they read last week that 1,500 houses had been destroyed by floods in Tripoli.

The opinion of the Supreme Court, announcing this decision is based mainly upon the ground that whenever the reception of improper evi dence manifestly tends to prejudice the minds of the jurors against the prisoner the error is uot eured by the charge of the Court, after the argument has closed, to disregard such evi dence. The neglect of this rule has wrought serious injury to many an accused persuu. The higher the grade of the alleged crime the more care should be exercised in guarding the rights of the prisoner..

Tue Vicksburg Herald states that there is more money in the South now than there has been at any time sinne the war. It complains, however," of the high rate of interest lhat is demanded for loans upon landed se curity in Mississippi.

THE rapid advance in the pricc3 of iron within the last year is something unprece dented in the history of that pivotal trade, if we except the period of our great war. The ad vance has been so great ami sudden that alarm is felt ill some quarters, both here and abroad, lest the speculation to which it has given rise, and to which, in fact, it may be due, shall pro voke lamentable results. But while specula tion has unquestionably done i*s share in keeping prices forward, "legitimate demand has given a healthy character to the movement After the first of April the iron and Steel As sociation expects to see our home production equal to all demands, yet large contracts for foreign iron ore have been made for the year, and the importation will probably reach /VX),- 000 tons. Still there is a sanguine expectation in some quarters that iron will go even higher, the augmenting demand abroad for theii own iron preventing f • reign makers from injuri ously competing with our own at present rates of duty.

The puzzle consists of a square IK>X, into which aiv titled 13 wooden squares numbered consecutively from 1 to 1 >. There is room for four rows of four in a row. The absence of the sixteenth block in the IHIX affords room for the movement of tiie others. The same is to disarrange the Mocks and then to bring the numbers into consecutive order by shifting them into place without lifting one oft the bottom of the box. The intricacies of this apparently simple exercise are startling. A mathematician who reported the result of his calculations wrote that the number of possible movements is l,.';u7,(>r4,3oS,U<>Vioo. 1 here are said to IK* a number of combinations that are either very difficult of solution or, as some bc lieve, impossible.
