FOREIGN NEWS. Mews from (Jabul confirms the reports of a general rising of the Central Asian tribes. In the British House of Commons Sir Harding Gifford’s motion that Bradlaugh be not permitted to take the oath nor make an affirmation was adopted by a vote of 275 to 230.

He made a vigorous but vain.appeaL Labouchere’s motion to allow him to take the oath was overruled. Bradlaugh was then called to the table and informed of tho decision of tho House. Being requested to withdraw, he twice refused, in a respectful manner. The Speaker, by an overwhelming vote, was authorized to enforce his removal. Bradlaugh continued obdurate, and had to be forcibly removed beyond tho bar, returning twice. He was finally arrested by the Sergeant-at-Arms and confined in the towor. Tho British negotiations with Abdur Rahman, as to Afghanistan, are coming to naught, !>ecause the chiefs of the tribes repudiate his claims to the Amecrship.

At McVieker’s Theater, the present week, is being produced, for tho first time in Chicago, Franz Yon Suppo’s opera comique, “ Boccaccio,” by the 11. B. Malm Comic Opera Company. Tho costumes of the opera were designed from the well-known painting of “Dante in Exile” and other historical works. The libretto is a creditable piece of literary workmanship, and the music is very bright nnd sparkling. The two Cincinnati afternoon papers, Times and Star, have united their fortunes, and will hereafter appear as a hyphenated Journal, under the title of tho Times-Star. A San Francisco dispatch says : “I. M.

Three boys, under 20 years of age, were hanged on the 26th of June, at Canton, Ohio, for tho murder of an old weaver. They lmd been habitual readers of fiasliy literature and their awful crime and shameful death wore the legitimate results of its pernicious teachings. Hayde Brown, the murderer of his mother-in-law, Avas executed at Huntsville, Mo. The population of Columbus, Ohio, has been ascertained to be 51,337, which is a gain of 20,063 in ten years. The population of Fort Wayne- is 25,057, against 17,718 ten years ago. A prominent real-estate dealer in Chicago named Newell chose a novel mode of ending his existence. Ho loft liis homo, in tho western part of the city, one evening, and his Avifo received a letter from him tho samo night, written from a down-town hotel, saying that he had discovered that lead Avas a better iloating substance than cork; that, acting on this discovery, he Avas about to invent a lead life-preserver, was going out in one of the like steamers to experiment with it, and on his return to the city would sell his patent for SIOO,OOO and pay off all his debts. There is no doubt that he went out in the boat and tried tho lead preserver, and Avas of course drowned, for his clothes were found on tho boat on its return to tho city. The deceased Avas financially embarrassed, and was doubtless temporarily insane at the time of committing the rash act.

At Elkhart, lud., a dissipated young man named George Elliott became crazed because Mamie Daccy, with whom ho was passionately in love, refused to receive him. He was finally granted a private interview, and as soon as he was closeted with her he shot the unfortunate maiden twice, inflicting fatal wounds, and then blew his own brains out.

Americans and Titles.

Ambitious Americans who have the misfortune to possess letters of credit of very limited amounts manage to obtatin titles and decorations by ways that are dark and mysterious as those of the heathen Gliinee. Some little act of gallantry to any member of royalty, if worked up and manipulated in an effective manner, is sure to bring its reivard. The story is told of a lucky American in Rome who recently earned a decoration and title by rushing to the rescue of the queen’s poodle. It Avas his good fortune to be Avalkiug on the Pinciau Hill at the same hour the queen was taking her afternoon promenade. Her pet poodle had wandered a short distance from her Avhen it Avas pounced upon by a big bull-dog, and Avould have been clieAved up and *Avallowed Avhole—silver collar, pink ribbon and all—but for the timely rescue by the American. Of course the queen screamed and fainted, aud was only restored to consciousness by having her favorite placed in her arms unharmed by the gallant foreigner, avlio had the presence of mind to present her Royal Highness at the same time his card and address. It Avas a bonanza of luck to the man in the fashionable world. The result Avas a decoration, and ever since, Avlierever he goes, society throws Avide open its door for his entrance. At all of the swell dinners given by members of the American colonies in Paris, Borne, and Florence, the blue and red ribbon in his button-hole is the envy of his less fortunate countrymen. I recently met in Marseilles an American Avhom I had knoAvn years ago, first as captain of a trading vessel, and afterAvard as a successful ship chandler. He had begun life as a poor cabin boy in a coasting schooner, and had worked himself up the ladder until fortune had smiled upon him and he had become the possessor of large Avealth. I noticed pinned to his coat collar a small colored rosette which was prominently displayed a« an insignia of rank. “Halloo!” I exclaimed with some sur!)rise, pointing to the rosette; “Avhat lave you been doing?” “Oh! nothing—nothing particular,” ho ansAvered, evidently not AA'isliing to enter into particulars; “I was not aAvarel had it on,” and, unpinning it, he placed it carefully in his vest pocket. “But you have got a decoration; you have been made a knight or a prince,” I said. “Nonsense! nothing of the kind; it Avas given me as a mark of esteem, a recognition, you understand; foolish I knoAv, but Ave Americans do foolish things sometimes; but please don’t mention it Avlien you get home.” “Of course not, but such favors are never bestowed promiscuously without a cause. You mxist have saved the life of some member of the royal family. ” “Not much,” he said, giving me a peculiar twinkle with his right eye; “I wasn’t such a fool as to throw myself under the hoofs of the king’s horses; there is a cheaper way of getting these things.” I saw that the subject of titles, and the manner in which he obtained his, were not favorite topics with him, and so turned the conversation. I learned afterward, however, as a fact, that he had Siaid the pope several thousands of dolors for a title which allowed him the privilege of displaying the small rosette on his coat collar.

A Wonderful Feat of Memory.

The history of the celebrated conjurer, Robert Houdin, furnishes a remarkable example of the power of memory acquired by practice. He and his brother, while yet boys, invented a game which they played in this wise: they would pass a shop window dnd glance into it as they passed, without stopping, and then at the next comer compare notes and see which could remember the greatest number of things in the window, including their relative positions. Having tested the accuracy of their observations, they would go and repeat the experiment elsewhere. By this means they acquired incredible powers of observation and memory, so that after running by a shop window once, and glancing As they passed, they would enumerate every article in it. "When Robert became a professional conjuror, this habit enabled him to achieve feats apparently miraculous. It is told of him that, visiting a friend’s house where he had never been before, he caught a glimpse of the book-case as he passed the half-open library-door. In the course of the evening, when some of the company expressed their anxiety to witness some specimens of his power, he said to his host: “Well, sir, I shall tell you, without

stirring from this place, what books you have in your library.” " “Come, come,” said be, incredulously, “that is too good.” “We shall see,” replied Houdin. “Let some of the company go into the library and look, and I shall call out the names from this room.” They did so, and Houdin began: “Top shelf, left hand, two volumes in red morocco; ‘Gibbon’s Decline and Fall;’ next to these four volumes of half calf; ‘Boswell’s Johnson;’ ‘Rasselas,’ in cloth; ‘Hume’s History of England,’ in calf, two volumes, but the second one wanting,” and so on, shelf after shelf, to the unspeakable Avonder of the whole company. More than once a gentleman stole into the draAving-room, certain he would catch Houdin reading a catalogue ; but there sat the conjuror, Avitli his hands in his pockets, looking into the fire.

JOTTINGS AND CLIPPINGS.

You can’t draw blood from a stone, but yon can stone a “blood.” It’s a long lane that has no turn, but it sometimes runs up against a fence. The London Times is grumbling at the lack of public parks in the great English metropolis. “Do you go to the Adirondacks this summer, my buck?” “No deer, I’ve another roe to hoe. ” A bat poison is advertised that will make rats go aAvay to a neighbor’s house and die. It fills a long felt want. The Derrick tells of an Oil City man who has to turn his toes in. If he didn’t they would hit the sides of the streets. One of Barnum’s Zulus has run away from the show. Show this to your wife, if she wishes to venture out on a picnic. An Irish gentleman, speaking of the scarcity of feed in Utah, says that thousands of cattle have had to be killed to save their lives. A new shade for silk is called “lemonade color,” whatever that may mean. — New Orleans Picayune. It means a heavy watered silk. Among the assets of a grocer who failed in business in a Wisconsin town is put doAvn: “One liver-pad, worn six weeks —Avortk fifty cents. ” Birds begin their morning concerts shortly aster 3 o’clock, and it is only the early riser that can have the full benefit of their sweet songs. We can’t see Avhy prize fights are so very bad. The tAvo principals get what they deserve, and more or less loafers are crippled or killed. The men Avho pack the little boxes of figs have wonderful memories. They never forget to put the wormy fruit at the bottom of the box. By drinking kerosene you can cure yourself of diphtheria, but before you try it, consider which is preferable, drinking kerosene or having the diphtheria. When a Kentucky paragrapher Avrites a word that the printer can’t make out, the latter sets it up as “mules,” and nine times out of ten he gets it right.—Boston Post. Business men frequently advertise for “a boy to run errands. ” The way boys crawl to and from the postoffice indicates that the boy expected to run has never been found. The laAv against carrying concealed weapons does not apply to bicycles. They are revolvers, but they avoid cartridges, and never go off of themselves. —Philadelphia Bulletin. Reginald Bond is the name of an aristocratic Boston banker. He writes his name Reg. Bond “ for short,” and irreverent persons call him Registered Bond—but not to his face. A wealthy manufacturer of Connecticut having built an elegant mansion, and Avishiug to take a second Avife, said to his architect: “Which agrees best Avith brick and broAvn stone, brunette or blonde?” It lias been discovered that phamnus fran gala is a good substitute for rahmus catharticus, and only costs half as much. Then of course it will probably supply the place of the other to a considerable extent.— Peek's Sun. An eminent Boston preacher once said that it Avas a mockery to pray at night for sAveet and refreshing sleep, without seeing to it that tlio bed-room is well ventilated. God takes care of those avlio take care of themselves. Mrs. George Eliot Cross will reside in Clieyne Walk, Chelsea. The marriage of the eminent authoress has caused a great deal of hard feeling among her friends, avlio seem to knoAv more about her business than she does herself.

Phil. Sheridan and the Planter.

During the pursuit of Lee’s army from Petersburg to Appomattox, General Phil. Sheridan commanded the advance of Grant’s army. At dawn, April 7th, all the rebels were on the north side of the Appomattox, with the Union troops close at their heels. “Little Phil.,” ever at the front, stopped at a farm house near Prospect Station, dismounted, tied his horse and started up the walk. Upon the piazza sat a middle-aged typical Southerner—with long, straight hair combed behind his ears and covering his neck a swallow-tailed coat, buff waistcoat, nankeen pantaloons and morocco slippers. A gorgeous shirt frill adorned his bosom, and from the embrasure of his war-like collar he shot defiant glances. He bowed stiffly to the General, who, nodding carelessly, sat down on a step and poured over liis maps. Soon he looked up and said: “Have you seen any of Lee’s troops about here to-day. ” Planter —“Sir, as I can truly say that none have been by me, I will say so; but, if I had seen any, I should feel it my duty to refuse to reply to your questions. I can not give you any information which might work to the disadvantage of General Lee. ” The General, with a little whistle of surprise, puffed away at his cigar, and continued to study his map. In a few minutes he looked up again and asked: “ How far is it to Buffalo River?” Planter—“ Sir, I don’t know.” Sheridan—“ The devil you don’t. How long have you lived here?” Planter—“ All my life.” Sheridan—“ Very well, sir, it’ll time you did know! Captain, put this gentleman in charge of a guard, and walk him down to Buffalo River to show it to him.” The Virginian of the old school enjoyed the pleasure of tramping through five miles of mud to look at the river with which he was perfectly familiar.

Lightning Trains of the Future.

The gap between New York and Philadelphia is the stretch over which American railroad engineers puzzle their wits to increase the speed of trains, just as the run between Liverpool and London, in England, has been the one to which English railroad engineers have given their attention since the days of Brunei. At present the “Flying Dutchman,” the express from London to Liverpool, is a faster train than any on the stretch of railroad from New York to Philadelphia. In a recent paper read in Philadelphia, Barnet Le Van, a railroad engineer, predicts that in five years the two American cities will be but ninety minutes apart, a speed which will require more than a mile a minute. The full time now required is two hours, and the extra thirty minutes is to be saved by the Hudson Rives tunnel, alterations in the railroad, straightening and sinking its track, where it goes through cities, and the construction of heavier locomotives. A droll fellow up in Connecticut fished a rich old man out of the millpond, and refused the offer of 25 cents from the rescued miser. “Oh, that’s too much !” exclaimed he ; “ ’tain’t wuth it!” and he handed back 21 cents, saying calmly, as he pocketed 4 cents, “ ghat's aboutrig jut,”

FARM NOTES.

Several agricultural journals are recommending bitter aloes as a lice exterminator on cattle. It is to be applied in powdered form by dusting it into the hair on the animal. “I honestly believe,” says the New England Farmer , “ that the farmer who will work his brains until noon, and his hands the balance of the day, will outstrip him who rises at 5 and toils until 9 at night.” The Grocer thinks that if the dairy interest continues to increase as it-has been doing heretofore, in a few years hence no other country need make butter and cheese, as this country Avill be able to supply the requirements of the world at a lower rate and of a better quality than they can make it themselves.

Apple Bober.—According to a Avriter on horticultural and agricultural subjects, when borers have once gained possession of a tree the only way to get rid of them is to hunt for them carefully Avith a knife or Avire and destroy them. The eggs of the parent beetle are deposited during nights in June, and are placed in the bark of the tree at the surface of the ground, or Avhatever may surround the tree. These eggs hatch in our latitude during September, and it is soon after this that the youug grubs may be easily removed without the use of anything more than the point of a penknife. A few minutes spent in this Avay about the Ist of October each fall Avill keep the tree free from this peat.—Scientific American. Transplanting in the Night. A gentleman, anxious to ascertain the effect of transplanting at night, instead of by day, made an experiment Avitli the folloAving results : He transplanted ten cherry trees Avliile in bloom, commencing at 4 o’clock in tho afternoon. Those transplanted during the daylight shed their blossoms, producing little or no fruit, while those transplanted in the dark maintained their condition fully. He did the same with ten dAvarf trees, after the fruit was one-third groA\n. Those transplanted during the day shed their fruit; those transplanted during the night perfected the crop and showed no injury from having been removed. With each of these trees he removed some earth Avith the roots. The incident is fully vouched for, aud, if a feAv similar experiments produce a like result, it Avill be strong argument to horticulturists, etc., to do such Avork at night.— Floral Cabinet. How Animals Gboav Fat.—Fat in animals, like starch, sugar and oil in plants, contains no nitrogen, and Avlien an animal, is not fed this fat wastes away first —in other words, is consumed. If the animal be exposed to great cold without extra food it cannot fatten. The reason, therefore, that animals protected from tho cold of winter fatten much faster than Avlien exposed is that what would accumulate as fat is used in keeping the animal warm. The earthy or inorganic matter in plants is as necessary for animal groAvth as the organic matter. The bony skeleton consists chiefly of calcium phosphate, with a little calcium carbonate and other mineral substances derived from plants. While plants contain everything necessary for animal groAvth, some portions are richer in salts and nitrogenous material, and are, therefore, considered to be of more value, as the grain of Avheat, corn and oats. Foods differ greatly in value, as every farmer knoAvs. Many experiments have been made to determine the feeding poAvers of the various kinds of food, and elaborate tables haA r e been draAvn up to express their cbmpartive value. Every farmer practically constructs such a table for himself, at least, he sets a different value on different substances, and buys and sells acordingly.

Diarrhea in Fowls.—Recent scientific researches have proved that this disease is caused by a microscopic organism which is developed in the intestines, passes into the blood, and multiplies itself there with extraordinary rapidity. Tlio parasite is ejected from the bowels, and may be taken by birds who pick about among the dung-heap or eat the grains that have been soiled by contact Avitli it. If a fowl dies, and there is any cause to believe that diarrhea lias caused its death, the birds should lie immediately taken out of the poultryyard and isolated. The poultry-yard and poultry-house should be Avell cleansed, the dung removed, and the walls, perches, and soil Avashed Avitli plenty of Avater. The Avater used should contain five grammes per litre of sulphuric acid, and a stiff broom or brush should be employed. When ten days have passed Avithout a death occurring, the birds need no longer remain isolated, excepting those which slioav signs of prostration, depression, or sleepiness. These simple means will be found sufficient to stop the progress of the contagion, and to prevent its return. If they are employed as soon as the disease makes its appearance, they Avill reduce the losses to an insignificant figure.— L' Acclimatation.

Make a sirup of a pint of good vinegar, a pound of white sugar, ana a table-spoonful each of broken cinnamon and cloves. Make enough of this sirup to cover the pieces, and boil until tender. , - Thirty small boys were arrested in Dallas, Tex., for giving a negro minstrel show without a license, the complainant being the owner of an old building which they had used without permission. They were tried before the Mayor, who said: “I find the prisoners guilty and fine them 81 each. The alternative is one day in jail.” The consternation among the offenders, 'was very great. “But,” his Honor added, “I was a boy once myself, and went on the end in just such a performance. I will pay these fines myself.”

We often wondered what induced Dr. Bull to invent his celebrated Baby Syrup, but we understand now that he was married man. “ Shai.li I help you to alight ?” asked a city exquisite of a muscular country girl, who was about to get out of a wagon that had just come up to the porch of the rural tavern. She jumped from the wagon and indignantly exclaimed : “What do you mean by asking me if I want a iiglit ? You don’t think I smoke, do you ?” An Ex-Governor’s Opinion. [San Francisco Daily German Democrat.] The above named journal recently contained the report of an interview between Ex-Gov. Solomon and one of its reporters. The Governor had suffered for a long time with severe rheumatic pains which nothing would relieve. Friends advised the use of St. Jacobs Oil, and a half dozen applications banished tiie pains and lameness. “It gives me pleasure to recommend it whenever I can,” said the .Governor. “I am an independent voter, and I can’t support you until I’ve seen your platform,” she said, as he finished proposing. A couple of hours later it dawned upon the young man’s mind that she wanted to know the amount of his salary.

WM! YUM! [Cleveland (Ohio) Plain Dealer.] Well has it been said that the deiiglu experienced under certain conditions of life, cannot be articulated but can only be conveyed by the happy Americanism, Yum! Yum! We do not know if Mr. Chas. Maempel, Independence, 0., said this; but he wrote: About a year ago I was under a physician’s treatment, and paid a doctor’s bill of twenty dollars, without any benefit. One bottle of Hamburg Drops did me more good than all the “doctoring.” * “Not one American woman in twentylive can walk five miles,” says an English physician. See here, Doc., you just show an American woman a street five miles long, with bonnet stores every ten rods, and sec if she can’t walk the whole distance. - Ulcerative weaknesses and debilitating humors of females cured by Malt Bitters.
