WHAT THE ATMOSPHERE CONTAINS. M. Gaston Tiaeandier. of elevated ballooning notoriety, says a correspon dent of the Kansas City Review, has revealed many interesting facts on at mospheric diwt, its connection with cosmical matter, and the important role it plays in fermentation and de- Composition. As the air is purer after behg washed by rain, so in dry weath er. and especiallv in cities, the atmos phere is a veritable dust bin. We are sensible to th* existence of these par ticles of attenuated matter ; in breath ing them tbey disgust us, and in falling and remaining on clothing and furni ture they demonstrate not only their presence but their plenitude. Admit a sunbeam into a darkened room and the molecules will be revealed like oebulee ; yet the numbers we preceive are perhaps but the minimum of what exists, for after the naked eye and the microscope there are minutiae which dance still. Much of this atomic debris is of inorganic origin, and a great deal is derived from animal and vegetable sources. The renowned ex periments of M. Pasteur have demon strated that among these atomies which live, move, and have their being in the air, are germs or spores of fermen tation and decomposition, that is to say, the seeds of disease and death. Showers of dust impalpable as flour, and sometimes red as blood, have fallen in several parts of the world, astonishing or frightening, as the pop n'ations are anperstitious or cultivated. These showers are simply silicioos par ticles whipped up to the superior regions of the atmosphere, and driven along by aerial currents. Such particles have beeu lifted in Guiana and showered on New York, the Azores, and France, as Ehrenberg detected therein animalcula and shells peculiar to South America. Over the summits of the high moun tains of the latter county the atmos pheric currents are ever charged with silicious powder, and in parts of Mex ico the crests of mountains act as veritable bars, and compel the deposi tion from these air streams of the dust, and which accumulate in the valleys to the depth of ninety yards. Geol ogy recognizes these atmospheric delt as. The foam of waves as they dash against the coast ispulverizedinto feath ery pellicles, which float skyward with a trace of saline matter and that a sea breate carries far inland. Space con tributes as well as earth and ocean to the production of aerial dust. When meteorites and lalling stars are ren dered luminous and incandescent by their rubbing against strata of air in their vertiginous flight, tbey part with quaqtities of their metallic elements in the form of powder, iron, nickel, and cobalt, substances that Nordenskjold has gathered on the virgin snow of the Polar regions. When atmospheric dust, whether collected directly on a sheet of paper, or from the sediment of gnow and rain, is probed by a mag net, the tiny particles of iron attracted have all a spheroid family likeness, resembling furthermore iron filings if melted in a flame of hydrogen, or the extinguished sparks that fall on strik ing an ordinary flint and steel. Nay more, similar atoms of meteoric iron have been traced in the Lower Lias formation, geology thus affording evi dence, that as now, so before the ap pearance of man on earth, atmospheric dust existed. The air is a vast storehouse of ani malcules. Expose a solution of some organic substance to the atmosphere for twenty-four hours, it will be speedily inhabited by myriads of infu soria, rolling and tumbling, yet so small that hundreds of them if placed in a row woold not form a line in length. These worms resemble little eels. Analogous animalcules induce decomposition and fermentation, for the latter cannot take place unless the organic matters be in contact with the air,'to receive the seed of the leaven, which by cellule propagation leavens the whole mass. It has lately been shown that the process of nitrification in certain soils is due to a peculiar ferment, that is to say, to a spore floating in the atmos phere, and finding its conditions for - action stops and operates. Marsh fever is due to cellules or spores existing in a bog neighborhood. The same spores have beeu detected by the microscope in the expectora tions of the patient, in the dew that was examined, and on the surface of the peaty soil where they were gener ated. This is simply poisoning. To a like cause is due the fell disease known as hospital gangrene; the germs in the polluted ward atmos phere enfer the wounds, induce putre faction and death. Hence the import ance of washing the affected part with carbolic acid or other antiseptic; then dressing it with a wadding that will intercept, by acting as a filter, the germs to be deposited, from being sown. In many factories workmen become victims to the dust, generated by their special industry, entering and saturat ing the lungs. On dissecting old col liers, their lungs after forty years' respiration of dust, instead of being rose colored as in health, were as black as the coal itself. The dust in this impalpable form is often the cause of accidents; it can take fire and blaze like alcohol. Witness the catastrophe at the Minneapolis flouring mills; the confined air highly charged with the flour became on a par with ether or alcohol, awaiting only ignition from the heated millstone to burst into flame and explode. CALiroBMiA ViMETAaDs—The av erage of vines in California is officially rated at about 60,000 acres, and it is thought that from six tonight thous and acres or more will be planted to vines this year. If the entire grape crop were made into wine the yield in ordinary years would exceed 25,000,- 000 gallons. The actual wine product during the past five years has ranged between 4,000,000 and 6,000,000 gal lons, the smallest yield falling in 1878. The possible yield in wine is lessened by the large distillation into brandies (about 250,000 gallons a year) the production of sweet wines, the con sumption of grapes for table use and export to the Eastern States, and finally by the manufacture of raisins. The wine yield this coming year is ex pected to be very large, perhaps 10,- 000,000 gallons. The friends of a murdered man in Texas played a very sharp ruse to avenge his death a few days ago. They simply gave out that the murderer was a horse thief, whereupon a crowd col lected and banged him upon the lint! limb. 1 A HORSE WITH A HISTORY. Tbere died in Lancaster county a few dav? ago, a horse with a remarka ble history. Ue came from California, and was ridden for two years by a trooper of the Second U. S. Cavalry, in fighting Indians. He was after wards purchased by Major R. Rein hold, of the 17th Pa. Cavalry, and en ■ tered service with that regiment in 1863. He passed through Sheridan's raid to Richmond, the Trevelvan ra:d and the march from City Point to th Shenandoah Valley. He was in the battles of the wilderness, Yellow Tavern, Meadow Bridge, Hanover town, Harves shop, Bethesda Church, Cold Harbor, Trevelyan Station, White House and others. Major R. resigning the following summer the animal became the property of Cap tain M. Reinhold, who rode him until the early part of September, when the Captain was killed in the saddle. Af ter the death of Captain M. Reinhold his brotLer, Cuptain U. Reinhold took the horse and rode him nntil the regi ment was mustered out, June 16, 1865. He went through Winchester and the Valley campaign and raids ; the march from the Shenandoah Valley to the Potomac before Petersburg, in Febru ary and March j the battles of Din widdle, Five Forks; the pursuit of Lee, Saylor's creek and the surrender of Lee at Appomattox, April 9, 1865 ; the march to Washington, the grand re view, etc. When the regiment was mustered out a number of officers were put in the Second Penntylvania Cav alry. The horse then became the property of Lieutenant Luckner, who rode him until the regiment was mus tered out at Harrisburg, in August, 1865. He was then bought by Lieu tenant E. E. Wood, who brought him home, where be has remained ever since. The surviving members of Company M. in this county, doubtless still retain a vivid recollection of the noble horse.— Honesdale Citizen, Pa. CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS. The claims of Dr. Unger for a rem edy for curing intemperance would seem to be justified, if we may rely upon good authority as the Chicago Tribune for the evidence. Mr. Joseph Medill, the editor, is said to be a strong endorser of the new remedy, , and from the editorial commendations of it in the columns of the Tribune we conclude the remedy has produced some benefit to the community already. It is claimed that the doctor has cured 28,000 persons of the worst form of intemperance with it, and that this is the first remedy ever discovered that kills the disease and the inclina tion to drink at one and the same time. Remedy —Take one pound of best, fresh, quill red Peruvian bark, powder it, and soak it in one pint of diluted al cohol. Afterward strain and evaporate it down to half a pint. Directions for its use: Dose—a teaspoonful every three hours the first and second day, and occasionally moisten the tongue between the doses. It acts like qui nine, and the patient can tell by a headache if he is getting too much* The third day take as previous, but reduce the dose to one-half teaspoon ful. Afterward reduce the dose to fifteen drops, and then down to ten, and then down to five drops. To make a cure, it takes from five to fifteen days, and in extreme cases thirty days. Seven days are about the average in which a cure can be effected. DO SHARKS HARBOR THEIR YOUN 01 An interesting specimen of porbeagb shark ( Lamna punctata) was caught recently off Great Neck, L. I. It was a female and was sent to Mr. E. G. Blackford, of New York, who says: "When I received her she had not been dead more than seven hours. From the immense size of her stomach I thought she must have swallowed a barrel or two of moss bunkers, and to gratify my curiosity I opened her. Im agine my suprise when instead of moss bunkers I found ten little sharks, evi dently her offspring, and all just the same size—exactly two feet long. I should say they were about six months old, for a young Bhark when batched from the egg measures about four inches. It has been a disputed ques tion among fishermen for some time whether young sharks in time of dan ger do not seek safety in their moth er's stomach, I think this case proves that they do, for the little ones were perfectly sound : there was no mark on them as if digestion bad begun, and I have not a doubt but that if the moth er bad not been captured, as soon as the excitement was over the little ones would have worked their way out into salt water again, and in due time l>een big enough to give some uufortunate fisherman considerable trouble." The specimen measured six feet eleven inches in length, and was captured in a school of moss bunkers or menha den. That a woman can be found guilty of the crime of rape upon another female looks like an extraordinary pro position; but it has been held in North Carolina, where, by the way, not a few singular thiugs occur. A decision to that effect has just been rendered by the Supreme Court of that State in the case of the State vs. John Jackson and Love Ann Jones, from New Hanover. The text of tho opin ion is as follows: "In this indictment John Jackson is charged with an as sault with intent to com'mitt a rape on Sarah Jane Waddle, and the defendant Love Ann Jones, is charged with be ing present, aiding, abetting, etc. The male defendant was not on trial, and the femele defendant was found guilty as charged; whereupon there was a motion to arrest the judgment, and an appeal. At common law rape was a felony, and one aiding, etc., was a principal; so, had this been rape, in stead of an assault with intent to com mit rape, Love Ann Jones would have been guilty as a principal, although fncapable of committing the offence. But the offence charged is, under our statute, a mere misdemeanor, and Love Ann Jones, if guilty, as a principal. The bill warrants the judgment. "No error." Since the punishment for rape in North Carolina is death, the strange spectacle would have been presented, had the male defendant succeeded in his attempt, of the execution of a woman for a crime which she was physically incapable of committing.

WALTER & BOOS, Proprietors of the Weil-Known Splendid FOLURING MILL BUTLER, :P.A. We wish to inform the public that we have remodeled our Mill with the latest improved Gradual Reduction System Machinery, which is well known bv Millers to be the best in existence. We can say to Farmers and Producers of wheat that it will be pro Stable to them to give us a trial. We claim that we can make a BETTER ARTICLE OF FLOUR, AND MORE OF IT, out of the same number of bushels of wheat than any other Mill in the county, and equal to any first-class Mill in the city, or Western Mills. The new Under-runuing Mill, used for Regrinding, bought of Munsou & Bro., Utica, N. Y.; the George T. Smith Middlings Purifier, bought at Jackson, Mich., together with Bulling Cloths, Reals, Conveyers, Ac., suitable for the Machinery, cannot be Excelled in the United States or elsewhere. This may seem an exaggeration to some, but we wish the pub. lie to knowthat we are able to perform all that we publish, as we have given our machinery a thorough test in the presence of several good Millers and Millwrights, and it has proven even better than it was guaranteed to do. We are also remodeling our Mill for Grinding Other Kinds oi Grain, which will be entirely satisfactory to our customers.

Are now putting on the market a Plow that Is as much superior to any Plow heretofore made as the PIOWB of the past few years have been superior to those made , half a century ago. It combines all the excellencies of any Plow In use. It obviates ail the objections made to any other Plow. In addition it embraces several new features of the greatest value, for which we have ob tained exclusive Patents. Its Beam, Clevis, Jointer Standard and Wheel Standard will be STEEL, and Its mold board win be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled under a process for which we have also obtained an exclusive Patent. It will be THE BYRACUBE CHILLED STEEL PLOW Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than our present styles. . A flrst-claas Steel Plow, made in the or dinary way, fun rigged, retails for twenty-two dollars. Inferior Steel Plows retail from six teen to nineteen dollars. The price of our new Plow win be but B«TcntMD Dollars, and It win be the cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold. Its mold board win outwear three of the very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold boards. It will scour In soils where all steel plows and all other plows have hitherto proved a failure. With this Plow will be Introduced a corru gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which we have also obtained a Patent, and which 18 also a great improvement, both as regards Strength and wear. The Jointer can be shifted so as to take more or less land, and also more or lets pitch, and It can always be kept on a line with the Plow. The wheel wUI run tinder the beam or one side of it as desired, and always kept In Hue. The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Pall Flowing, and also for two or three horses. The handles can be adjusted to accommo date a man or boy, on the same Plow. It is a perfect Plow. Wooden beams are going out of use because they shrink, swell and warp, and never ran two seasons alike. Iron beams are too heavy. Malleable beams become -demoralized and bend, which 18 much worse than to break. A Steel beam la the neceeslty of the day. It h three times as strong and very much lighter than any other styla When uw say a Mold board Is chilled, the farmers know It Is sa We do not palm ofT on them a composition Of various metals and call It chilled metal. We want agents for this new Plow in every town in this State. We can give but a very smaU discount to them, but we wUI pay the Railroad Freight We propose to place this Plow In the hands of Farmers as near the cost of manufacture as possible. It will be the but Agricultural Implement ever sold. It shall-also be the ehtaptM. Persons therefore who are not willing to act as agents on the principle that « a nimble six pence is better tban a slow shining," need not apply for an agency. No Plows on commission. All sales absolute or* This Is the only steel Chilled Plow in the World. Steel costs several times more than Iron. But this Plow, fun rigged, by giving small . discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars. Compare this price with that of any Iron Ptow ever made. It Is cheaper than any other Plow nonr Bade would be at five dollars and a halt Where there are no agents we will, on re. eelptof Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any Railroad station in the State and pay the freight Address, SYRACUSE CHILLED PLOW CO.
