may be looked for in the lower proTinces

of Canada, ana about may 3a rrosts are probable in Central and Southern Illinois, with rain and snow prevailing in some

localities. There will also, in all proba.1 L I 1

Diuty, oe snow-la is tnrougn me uuu unu the St, Lawrence District about the 7th and 8th. After the 10th of May, however, hot weather may be expected, and after the 15th bush-fires will probably break -out in certain districts, although thunderstorms are also probable on the 13th and 15th. Between the 20th and 25th there will probably be cloudy weather with rains, and vegetation will have advanced considerably by the 24th of the month, between the 20th and 25th the weather will probably be cooL The month will end hot and sultry.

One of the latest schemes put forth by ambitious engineers contemplates the laying of an iron tube or tunnel, twenty-six feet in diameter, from Ireland to the American coast ; within this tube will be a1 railroad, which Mr. Edison will furnish with electric rolling stock. The round trip to Europe will occupy one hundred hoars. It is said that an opportunity to subscribe for the shares of the company will be afforded in doe time.

Not long ago a New Orleans drummer was sent to a town in Mississippi to look into the affairs of a merchant who had failed, and who was largely in debt to the establishment he represented. "Mr. Hoffeostein," he said, " how much do you propose to pay on the dollar?" " Veil," replied the merchant, . times is pad, you know, and pishness vas dull, but " he continued, touching his nose, " I'll pay shust as much asder rest. How much is der poys paying dis year, anyhow?" m a m D. P. writes : I have a piece of machinery which is almost constantly covered with a light rust : what can I apply to keep it off? A. Camphor oz.; dissolve in melted lard, I lb.; take off the scum, and mix in as much black lead (graphite) as will give it an iron color. Clean the machinery and smear with this mixture; after twenty-four hours rnb clean with a soft linen cloth. It will keep clean for months; : m a ow A correspondent of a Western paper baa brought np a new reason why people should subscribe for newspapers. It is so strong that we copy it : " My father told me that when he was a young man be saw a notice in a paper that a teacher was wanted in a distant county,

and he went there and got the situation, and a little girl was sent to him, and after a while she grew up mighty sweet and pretty, and he fell in love with and married her. Now if he hadn't taken that paper, what do yon reckon would

have become of me? Wouldn't I

be some other fellow?"

Bis; Tree Stories.

One of the Bedford papers having exhausted big snakes is now telling about big trees, as follows : There was one in early times that stood on the road from Bedford to Palestine, the old county seat, about three-quarters of a mile from the latter place. I recollect well of seeing it when standing. It looked like a giant in the midst of the other trees. Some thirty years ago it was cut down by a company of blacksmiths of Bedford to be converted into a " perogue," or big canoe,, for the purpose of boating coal up White river from a bank some distance down the river, to supplv their shops with fuel. They called their boat " The Gray Goose." They made two or three trips and then abandoned the enterprise on account of its not paying. The tree was seven feet in diameter at the stump,and about sixty-five feet to the first limb,straight a an arrow and perfectly sound. It would have made over twelve thousand feet of sound timber. I will mention one other big tree. It grew in the eastern part of this county, on the farm of Mr. Levi L. Beavers, and was cut down in 1856. A saw log was cut off the trunk and hauled to Mr. Beavers9 steam saw mill by our old friend Abraham Smith. The log was twenty ieet long and seven feet in diameter. After breaking down nearly all Mr. Bivens' wagons, they succeeded in getting it to the mill. After getting it on the carriage by chopping a good deal, they succeeded in getting it to run through the sash, by taking off a very large slab in order to get it through the sash horizontally. They then turned the log down and took off another large slab. They then sawed the remainder of the log into inch plank, square- at one edge and bark at the other. The widest plank was over five feet across. Mr. Beavers brought the plank to the Lawrence county fair and exhibited it. A gentleman from Lafayette bought one of these large planks, took it home with him and exhibited it as a curiosity at a lumber yard. It was admitted by all who saw it to be the biggest plank that ever was sawed in the State. A certain lawyer was compelled to apologize to the court.' With stately dignity he rose iu his place, and said : "Your Honoris right and I am wrong, as your Honor generally is"" The Judge hardly knew whether to feel happy or to fine the lawyer for contempt of court."

Samuel, one of the New Lebanon Shakers, was killed by lightning. Mary, a Shaker spirit medium, says fh at she met him a few days afterwards, -end that the following conversation was held : "Samuel! What in the world does this mean V9 " I do not know, I go to the shop and the boarding bouse, and no one notices me. What is the meaning of all this, Mary F " Why, Samuel, don't yon know that you are dead T " Dead ! why, no, I am not dead." " Surely

you are. You were struck by light

ning a week ago last Thursday and killed, and we buried you in the

yard yonder." " Mary, is that really so?" "Certainly it is." "Then, good by, Mary." He disappeared, and Mary has never seen him since.

-The Rev. Henry Ward Beech-

r in his sermon last week told of!

a young lady in his congregation

who earnestly desired to become a

Roman Catholic. He asked ber to

wait a year, and if she still wished

to go he would lead her to the

Catholics himself. She waited and still expressed a desire to go, where

upon Mr. Beech er wrote a letter to a Catholic priest saying, "This

lamb has found greener pastures in your field than mine," and handed

her over to the Catholic Church,

adding that he - would do it again if he believed that it would benefit

the internal unity of Christianity. His course has been severely criti

cised both in secular and religious

newspapers. Remedy for Sprains. A writer in the New York Tribune says: I have found weak lye made of common wood ashes an infallible remedy for sprains. It should not be strong enough to break the skin. Two quarts of boiling water poured over a pint of hard wood ashes will make a quantity sufficient to immerse the sprained part in or bathe by means of a cloth, dripping the liquid ashes and all, over it. Recently on our place while threshing wheat, one of the hands received a severe wound from a pitchfork in the arm below the elbow. He suffered intensely and we very much feared lockjaw. I applied weak lye to the arm, bathing constantly, and in less than an hour be was relieved from pain and the wound

It has heretofore been a mystery to us why strangers are generally charged so extravagantly by hotels in large cities. Happen

ing a snore time since at toe liait uouse, corner 6th and Main St.. Cincinnati. Ohio.

managed by W. E. Harsh, Jb., son of the

well-known former proprietor, the mystery was solved. The accommodations at the

Gait House are eoual in every reoect to

the best two dollar per dav hotel, and

yet the charges tite only $1 and 91.50 per

day for meals and room, single meals 35c.

Tne solution is easy when the facts are known The Gait is run exclusively in

the interest of strangers, the same rate be

ing charged per day, at all times, to every one; consequently its accommodations are not monopolized by boarders. Whatever will produce a reasonable rent for the property is the extent of its charges ; thus doing away with the usual lessees profits. Its management is constantly under the immediate and personal control of the owner, W. E. Mabsh, Jr. Its employes being paid according to the volume ot business, are efficient and reasonable in cost. The above peculiarities, a low uniform price, a reasonable rent charge only, a vig

orous and practical supervision of its in

ternal affairs, and cooperative. Salary payments have secured for the Gait a fair transient trade and the experiment is a

success, producing rent for the real estate. To this benefactor who has made it pos

sible to stay two days in the city at tho

usual exponse ot one, we heartily recotn-

THE Legislature at its late ses

sion passed a law providing for the

appointment by the judges of the Supreme Court of five commission

ers to assise the court in disposing of the work, which has become too

great for the court as now organized. Under the constitution the number of judges could not be increased without an amendment to that instrument, and the appointment of commissioners was designed to meet this difficulty. The duties of the commissioners are the same as those of the judges, and their decisions, with the approval of the court, are final. The court, as now organized, consists of three Democratic and two Republican judges, and when the law was passed it was understood and agreed that in order to preserve the political equilibrium of the new tribunal the commissioners should be three Republicans and two Democrats, thus involving the selection of a Republican commissioner by one of the Democratic judges. This arrangement has been carried out and the law complied with by the appointment of the following persons, viz : The Hon. George A. Bicknell, of New Albany, Democrat; the Hon, W. M. Franklin, of Spencer, Democrat; the Hon. H. Cr Newcomb, of Indianapolis, Republican ; the Hon. James I. Best, of DeKalb county, Republican, and the Hon. John Morris, of Fort Wayne, Republican. These are admirable selections. The gentlemen named stand in the front rank of lawyers in the State, and are in all respects eminently qualified for the position to which they are designated. The appointments have evidently been made with a view of securing firstclass legal ability on the commission and carrying out the spirit as well as the letter of the law. The

effect will be greatly to relieve the

Supreme Court, and, by expediting the transaction of business, to advance the interest of lawyers, liti

gants and the public generally.

Write Often to the old Folks

"Write often ta the old folks," I heard a young man say Unto tho lad who with him walked, One bright and spring-like day. 11 1 know that my dear parents Can scarce afford to wait Until they get that letter long From me or sister Kate. . In fancy ,1 am thero, Will So many miles away I see them both, the dear old folks, With beads so bent and gray, I see them take tho letter out, And scan its pages o'er Will, wriU a Utter once a week, If you can do no more." Ah 1 yes, my lads and lassies From home so many miles Away from father's kind advice, - And mothers loving smiles. Tray, don't neglect the old folks, They think so much of you, And write a Utter once a week, Whatever else you do. And let your words bo tender With fond expressions then For well they cherish every line That comes from your dear pen. Their days may not be many Their journey's -almost through -Write often to the old folks, then ; They think so much of you.

Mr. John Borroughs, in his

"Notes of a Walker" in a recent number of Seribner's Magadne, described the delight with which he

heard a stray English tky-lark, which had evidently either escaped

from a cage, or was a survivor of

those which were liberated m Long

Island several years ago. He sug

gested that there was " no reason why the lark should not thrive in

this country as Veil as in Europe."

Acting on this suggestion, Mr

Charles R. Rowe, of Cornwall, En

gland, an enthusiastio admirer of

Mr. Burroughs s writings, has sent him a number of English sky-larks,

which arrived in New York on

Saturday last, and have been for

warded to Mr.Burroughs at Esopus-

on-the-Hudson, where they will be

set free.

Kill tho Dogs.

A story of exceptional sadness

comes from Evan&ville of a little

two-year old child bitten by a mad

dog. The child was bitten on the 7th of March, but a poultice was

applied to the wound at once, and as it was a slight affair, it soon

healed and nothing more was

thought of it. The little blue eyed,

rosy cheeked fellow went about as

usual, and nothing was noticed in

his conduct that would indicate the

seeds of hydrophobia lodged in his

system. It was three or four weeks

later wnen the dreadful disease be

gan to give evidences of its presence. The little sufferer grew rest

less in his sleep and would cry

without apparent cause. He re

fused food and grew more excited

and irritable. Then he would call

in plaintive tones for milk, or tea

or coffee, and when they were

brought to him and he got sight of

the liquid he would scream and run

away in terror. Says the reporter

that described the scene : " The bitten cheek was considerably inflamed, and so excited were the

nerves that the waving of a hat or band about his head would cause

him to tremble violently and cry. He did not remain still an instant, but ran around the room in which he was, endeavoring to clutch with his little hands everything within reach." Upon his sister taking him up in her arms he became almost

savage, screamed, and waved his

hands wildly and irothed at the mouth. He continued to grow worse until it required the strength

of two grown persons to hold him in bed. After suffering thus from

Friday until Sunday morning, the

little life went out more peacefully

at last. There is no sadder death

than that from hydrophobia but it is rendered peculiarly so when the

victim is a little child. Kill the

dogs.

The new carpet pest christened Anth rent scrophularice is exciting considerable apprehension from Uie ravages it is committing on carpets in various places in the east, principally in New York. It works upon the under side of carpets, as laid upon the floor, and thus escapes the eye of the housekeeper until its work is so far completed that the carpet is destroyed. Various remedies have been suggested, and tried without securing a means of prevention or destruction. The use of kerosene, by means of saturated cotton in crevices and along base boards is recommended

At Dartmouth Park, England, a boy three years of age was given an old wooden pipe by his father, with which to blow soap bubbles. The father washed out the pipe before letting the child have it. After using it the boy was taken ill, and three days later be died, his death, according to the medical evidence, being undoubted y caused by the nicotine contained in the old pipe, which he had sucked while blowins the soap bubbles.

Anna JL. Bulk ley, of Macon, Ga., was arranging a beautiful floral design as a tribute to be laid upon the casket containing a departed friend. In selecting the leaves from the plant euphrobin, the stem producing them was broken, when a drop of its sap was spattered into her eye. Inflammation immediately followed, which extended down her cheek, andhir hands, which wiped away the tears from her eye, were also similarly affected. - The euphrobia or lace plant is known to botanists as one of the herbaceous plants, and is distinguished by the acrid and often powerfully poisonous property of its milky juice, though its leaves are much admired and the plant is a popular one with florists. It mould be handled with the greatest can. Come and examine our new arrivals of Shawls, Sun Umbrellas and bandsome Fans, at the New York Store.
