Special Correspondence- Daily NEWS BRAZIL, Aug. 30. S. I). Coffey. George Byrd. John Fast and John Gardner returned from their Northern trip jufet in time to swelter out the second installment of hot weather.
W. P. Richardson, D. W. Brattin and Sol Gundlefmger have returned from a successful hunt in Illinois. They sent home a number of prairie chickens during their absence. .J. Crucsdale, Hi nun IVcter, and J.-im Hendricks arrived home from the conclave of the Knights-Templar at Chicago. Ir. Price Ls still laving in the lakes'.
The Hag donated by the ladies to the Y. M. li. C. wns formally presented on last Wednesday night, in the presence of a very large audience. The success of the occasion uU rly surpassed expectation. Though no r'Voii had been made to in duee the presence of a large crowd beyond securing a full turnout of the members of .the club, the .street was literally full of people from one end to the other. The club turned out for the first time in uniform, and, a'ft. r. a somewhat extended parade, formed about the stand where the proceedings wen.- to be held. The ceremony was impos: ig, and was executed in spier. iid *ttyle. Major Carter opened the oct..•«!••• i» la :ttx appropriate, forcible and brilliant, speech, and consigned the Hag to the hands of the color bearer. Alf Dillon responded on behalf of the club iu a short and appropriate speech, and was followed by Prof. G\ P. Eppert, who spoke for a short time, when the threatening aspect of the weather put an end to further proceedings. The affair is regarded a grand sue cess.
The fair is in progress during this week. It presents no very remarkable or striking features. The entries of stock are very limited. Aside from a number of fust horses there is absolutely no display in the line of stock. Your correspondent saw two chickens, but there is not a hog on the ground# unless some long nosed elm peeler should have broken in and be rangiug over the grounds in violation of ruks. There is something of a display of merchandise and manufactured articles Mr. Uomiek of Greencastle has a very fine .-.specimen of buggy on exhibition, being tin adjustable neat and susccptable of being put into a great variety of positions.
It is their own patent and manufacture and is perhaps the most complete arrangement of its kind made.®
There was yesterday some very good racing among which may be mentioned a fust trot inwhich Bay Frank, owned by 1I.I). Sm^pof Terre Haute, took first money. The band contest in which the Bowling Green, Clay City and Poland hands participated came off yesterday. The first prize was taken by Bowling Green, the second by Clay City ami*third by Poland, Then! will be a large attendance at the grounds to day,
It ia estimated that 10,000 people attended the show yesterday afternoon and evening. Nearly $5,000 wa* taken in wjbiich would indicate the attendance to he nUout as be fort1 indicated It is thought that the crowd in town yesterday was the largest ever in the city.

Horn Perry's Home Life.
TH* home Mfe of Nora Perry, the poet, is pleasaaily described in the Bw» ton Bercttri. She lives qcrietly at Providence, B. i., with ber mother, a serene, sweet-faced aad intelligent lady, now more than eighty years of age. Two noble elms shade the modest house, on the lower door of which, in the spacious and cheerful rooms, Miss Perry's individuality has expressed itself in creating1 a home. The windows are hong with
The windows
heavy green draperies, and instead of the stiif and conventional shades, fine illusion covers the entire sash, serving the double purpose of affording a screen and softening f»he light. Warm bits of color glow here ana there—in the -soft mat* on the floor, the pretty cushions on the low, broad and luxurious divan in the corner, and on the walls in little gems of pictures. The glaring white doors that, we still have to accept from our builders and landlords are relieved by lovelv heliotypes and engravings. In fact, there are pictures everywhere, of all sizes and kinds, tacked up, stuck up, framed and hung, and set carelessly against any thing that will hold them up. Miss Perry knows what good pictures are as well as the most of those whose duty it is to write often on art topics, but she has the full courage of her tastes in these matters. I don't ask any body to tell me what to admire,'! is her word. "I will have.a chromo if I like it, and I do like some of th,em exceedingly.* In one corner stands an open book-case, whose ample shelves hold her favorite volumes, and nu-ir at band is the old fashioned table ohat she calls her shop." It meets very fully the literary genius's idea of rder. Have a place for every thinf, iind put every thing ioU it,* And It is a perfectly orderly chaos, we have no doubt. In the center are heaps of ietters. At one side is a pile of clippings for use in correspondence, and near by the drafts of two or three poems that are awaiting a finish. The sheets of half-completed story lay where the weary pen left them last night, and a roll of proof,M ready for the printer, holds them in place. "She is," says the writer, "a busy worker. She i3 more than that—an uncommonly plucky and resolute soul. Although"she has had her full share of troubles, perplexities, and discouragements, no one ever heard h^r call out for sympathy or aid. If she has not joined in the clamor for woman's rights, it is because she has Jbund that, with a free field and fair play, she was tfuU-e well able to get on with the rights that aye accordetf to her. A year or two ago she was seriously troubled with

thor's cramp.' The loss of power in the right hand would have been a crushing blow to many whose depend ,-co is their pen. Nora Perry accepted the situation, not without such vigorous protests as the occasion seemed to warrant, and learned to write with her left hand. The rest which this afforded enables her to use her right hand, with
Cisterns for Farm Buildings.
IN the endeavor to have every thing as convenient as possible about farm houses and farm buildings, there are few tilings more worthy ot being cared for than cisterns to hold the rain water from the roof. Even where pumps are supplied it is often an advantage to have cisterns in addition, as soft water,which pumps will not always supply, is of great value. At any rate it often happens that though there may bo a convenient anu water furnished by one can desire, oven the little labor that a pump requires for a single horse or cow, bccomes a great task wned many are to be supplied. We know of one farm where seventy-five head of cows, more or less, are on hand and all the water they require has to be furnished from a pump and it is no small job to do. Yet on this very farm the land lies so convenient that a cistern could be built on an elevation a little above the cattle yard, and all the water from the roof could go in it, and be drawn off into the cattle yard by its own natural flow without pump or labor of any kind. So it often happens for household supplies. A cistern could be built which would cost little, and yet save the women folk—generally ver-worked-r-manv an hour's labor, besides giving them a quality of water they all so much de
pump it all
There is a prevalent idea that they cost a great deal to make but it is far less than is generally imagined. If fhe land is solict—say either of clay or of a rotten rock—the sides of the natural ground may be shaped like a wall, and a lining of mortar, say half an inch, put on before the final cement ooat is given. But if there is any chanoe of settling, so as to crack the mortar framework, a four-inch brickwork may be built around first. Most ground is, however firm enough for the purpose. The mortar as It is laid on to form the lining or framework of the tank, should w» vetj well worked by the trowel. The object is to work out all the air. It is the airspaces in the wall that make it porous, and it is through the pores that the water escapes. A worMnc of the trowel backward and forward a few times over the soft mortar, expels the air and closes the pores. This is especially important to be borne in mind when applying the cement. This need not be put on very thk?k. The merest film, if properly worked, Is sufficient.—Ocrmantotfn T^kgr^pk.

The Horn's Frag. ...
lv we were to go to many a black* smith and ask him if he did not think nature had made a mistake in putting the clumsy frog into the horse's foot, he ftuld hanilv be ready to say yes, and verv likely would put on a surprised look, trnd perhaps explain that In some countries horses did very wen without shoes, and so the frog was left to care f»r itself. But while not ready to take ground with vou in any criticism of the tdan upon which the foot is constructed, you have but Io look in the corner of the shop where two horses stand newlyshod lift up their feet and obaerre for vow* self, that if the smith has not aaid it, the knife has said the frog a bad tW, rnst be cot aw»T. The horses fo
and must be cat away. not stand on the gtoond, but nearfe half an inch higher, ©e the Iron of their shoes, and which takesthe weig^oftfee horn oa the outer shell of tfe* hoof. 11*
5"^^^ practice is as sensible as it would be for a Bum who had to travel on all fours, fcuMnff the weight on the naBS of his fingers and toes rather than on the cosh ion which lies behind them. Itis always the soft* part—the India rubber ptcxt ui the feet of animals that have *»,-h— which receives the weight, and now the shelly, hud part. We know what elephant's foot ia it is all rubber-like.
The horse has the same incased ia a shell, which gives him accuracy and steadiness of movement. .Now, this casing protects the frog., it grows grows rapkily. The te cok show* a center, at least level with the line of the hoof. He does not take his weight wholly on the rim of his feet. Old horses would have feet more like them if blacks«niths would allow they knew a little less than nature, and really knew enough to read her intentions

The object in, shoeing the animal, aside from the occasional one of changing its gait, is sim^y to prevent the wear and shattering of the outer shell, and to enable it to take a firmer hold-of the ground, escaping the slipping of the unsnod horn. It is an unfortunate incident of our svstem of shoeing that the horse is raised from the ground as a boy is when he mounts Milts. —Fiuy* Fireside.

Chinese Etiquette of Punishment. THE present representative of Con fucius's family, as the only horeditary duke in China, is the only horeditary noble whose position the Emperor, 1 believe, can not meddle with. Princes, for instance, however high their rank, can be made or unmade bv a stroke ol the Emperor's pen. On the 10th September, 1874, an imperial edict was published, setting forth that for eighteen months previously the language and tone of the Emperor's uncle, the former prince regent, toward the Emperor had been iu-very many respects unbecoming." The edict goes on to say: We, therefore, ordain that by special grace there be substituted for other punish ment, deprivation of his imperial princedom of the first-class with hereditary succession in the same degree forever, and that he be reduced to the grade of prince of the second degree, liis son, also, is to be deprived of his rank as an admonition aud punishment." Fancy a European prince losing his stripes," like a sergeant, in this way I The fun of the thing was that, next day, two other documents appeared in the Gazelle —one from the prince returning thanks for the Emperor's clemency and another from the Emperor, in which it was stated that, at the request of the Empresses, he had let the prince off with a warning to be more diligent and careful" in future. So the sentence forever was rather out of place. Tne fact was that the prince and the Em-press-mother had quarreled, and the fatter had insisted on the Emperor degrading him as soon as it was done she began to think she had gone too far, so next day he was pardoned.
The mention made of returning thanks for an imperial punishment recalls the odd length to which this custom is carried.
When
it desirable to get rkl of
some very influential official it is done in a most polite manner. He is not condemned to death. He only receives a neat parcel, containing a silken oord, with an imperial dispatch setting
forth
that, in consequence of bis great virtues and many services, the Emperor is graoionaly pleased to allow him to%strangle or hang himself and the recipient is thereupon supposed to write a careful answer thanking his Majesty for his consideration, and sta'Vng that the hint, will be immediately taken. As a rule, the unlucky writer does finish himself off with all dispatch.
But a case occurred when I was in Pekin which sadly outraged all feelings of Chinese court propriety. General Shang-yu, who, during the last China war, commanded the body of men which treacherously seized isr Harry Parkes and several others under a flag of truce—most of the poor fellows dying .afterward in great torment—was one of those indiscreet men whose tongues are too long for their safety. After the war he took a local command, and having once been rebuked by the Empress-mother, indulged in some remarks about her character. Of course pome kind friend told the Empress, and some time afterward a subordinate of Shang-Tu's charging him with some offense, be was ordered to the capital for trial He came, boldly trusting to his great wealth to escape unpleasant consequences. He was lodged in prison, but allowed to do much as he liked, and some of his wives used to come and see him daily. He stayed there so long, and, was so comforuwble, that he began to think he had been forgotten, and in an evil hour he sent in a petition to be put at once on trial. The Emperor Tankwong had died since his arrest, and the Empresses were in reality governing through the regent Prince Kung ana General Shang-yu little knew that his incautious remarks had been repeated.
When the petitions of the day were submitted to the junior Empress, his was read, and he was ordered to be beheaded. There uras nothing for K. but to obey the Empress's orders, and a decree permitting" hlra to strangle himself was immediatel} drawn up and sent to him with the usual package of silken cord. But Shang-vu didnt take at all a proper view erf his duties, and he did not fend himseMto the operation. It was not etiquette tocall in the jailers to strangle him, and the bearer of the of the jail
a tolerably to letting them hang him. However, they got the cord round a beam, and after a kog course erf reasoning got him to mount a stool and pot his neck in the noose.

full sense of the term, it belongs to
that cla&s of papers which is flourishing
most signally in the East and West, and
tilling the cspepial want of the people of
«.
to-day, viz. a cheap, spicy paper which
curnishes all the nstcs in the most reli
a&ie fonh. Many of'our people cannot
afford to take the cbstly city papers.
while others find neither the time nor the
inclination to persue their lengthy and
indistinct colums printed in small type
THE NEWS presents in compact, shape the r. '"if-, telegraphic and general news, which is
spread out interminably in the metro
politan journals. I,ts editorial columns,
while dealing largely with National and -.
State politics are cspeciaily devoted to m'
city, township and coanty affairs. And
the'miscellaneous literary selections are
culled with great care, and with a con
scientious regard for the instruction and
morals of the, community. The sound
and healthful influence of a hearty laugh
is recognized by THE NEWS corps, and
no effort is spared to lay before our pat
rons the latest and choiccst productions
of the Twaius and Burdettes of the land.
The city department of the NEWS is well
looked after. Each day it contains a com-
plete record of the events occuriog in our
midst. Sensationlism in statement and
matter is studiously excluded, and our
patrons are able to rely upon the sub-
tantialaccuracy ef each and every item.
The NEWS is circulated more .largely
and in more towns than any other daily
