Chicken IlaUlnj?. INew York Farmer and Dairyman. " Don't et too many eggs under your ben. Give her no more than jou ar sure abe can corer and keep uniformly warm. At tbe end of about twt nt -one dayi tbe chicks will begin to pip the shell. Don't meddle with them. Wait until yea are sure some of them are fairly out, dry and -strong. Take these and put them in a box or basket, cover them with cotton or some soft warm thing and put them ia a warm place. If lef t under the hen, she may leave her neat with thm before all are hatched. When all are out, return those you have to the hen and give her a clean, dry, warm place, where abe will have good air and the chickens can have a . moderate range. If you have to coop them, put the coop In a sheltered, aunny plaoe, where they can be protected from rain. Don't allow them to be out after sundown, nor to run in the dew, night or mornirg. If the hen has a range, don't allow her to wander off among tall weeds or through high grass, to worry or loose her chicks. A good authority says bard boiled f gge, chopped fine, should constitute their food the first week. Afterward they may be fed on cooked wheat or corn, or a moth of potatoes and Indian meal cooked. These are good feed for tbe mother hen. In tailing feed, add only just water enough to moisten it, to it will crumble to pieces when thrown on the ground. From the first tbe chicks will pick at euch food thrown to tbe hen. We have seen a hen and chickens do well on wet Indian meal as the principal part of their diet But they need green stair to pick, and some animal food such as scraps of meat and loppered milk. Give the ben and chicks a chanca at the ground. They will not only enjoy it. but it is good and even necessary for them. Be cure that everything is kept clean, and that at no time lice get on tbe hen or chicks. If sulphur or genuine Persian insect powder has been freely dusted in the neet, there will be little likelihood of trouble from thia source. Green tansy put in and around the nest is said to be a certain preventive of lice. A little aulpbur In the food occasionally is good lay a half ounce of powdered sulphur to a dozen fowls, once a fortnight. Kender Jiural Homes Attractive. Christian at Work. The importance of making country homes more attractive has already been urged upon the reader of this Journal, but the matter is one which will bear frequent mention. It is especially in order now, as spring ia the Beaton in which to improve country, village and suburban homes. In a recent lecture, Regent S. M. Gregory, of the Industrial University of Illinois, sought to stimulate the growing disposition to render country and village homes attractive by showing that beauty has a decided market value. For example, of two farms cf equal excellence, the one on which tbe grounds about the buildings are tastefully planted with shade trees and ornamented by dower beds and well kept lawns, will sell qu'-ckest and for moet money, beside j contributing rooet to tbe comfort of the daily life of the owner and his family. These are cogent reasons increased valne of premises and comfort of occupants and should be heeded by all whose homesteads present an attrac live appearance. Trie Necessity for Care in Farming, llowa BUte Register The necessity for agricultural editors to give earnest advice and counsel about tbe better care of homes, fences, tools, stock and land is imperative. Impress upon all the importance of studying more, and of doing everything scientifically and systematically. The cultivation of broad acres and the sale of the gross crops without condensation is ceasing to be a paying business, and the one who can expect to win must expect to do it by better cultivation, by a wiser care of the productiveness of his farm, by a more economical use of the products of bis industry, and by better care of tbe domestic animals. The farmer must stay score at home, and his own voice domesticate his stock, and by his hands aid in preparing so they will more profitably assimilate their food. The farmf r must make his farm his paradise, and the presence of his stock and his family his principal delight. Oar people are not domestic enough too much going abroad for the comforts and enjoyments of life which should be found in a well-furnished house, a lovely lawn, a well-arranged farm and build ings. and a goodly lot of domestio animals who love their owner's presence. There is an immense work to be done to educate farmers to the true principles of farming. There is need cot only of editorial but Governmental aid. Precept and demonstration must be brought to bear to induce the people to ornament their homes by setting out evergreens, planting and cultivating fruits and flowers, ornamenting their lawns, and improving and more thoroughly domesticating their animals and birds. They should instill into their children a more abiding love of home by making it more lovely. They must be taught the importance of making every foot of their ground more productive, and of using that produce to as to yield tbe largest returns with the least proportional outlay. The home and farm should be to his hf art. and the heart of his family th greenest and sweetest spot on earth, around which their affections should cluster, and be the dearest place of enjoyment for leisure hours. How to Make Good Co flee. New York Tribune. Tbe prices in the coffae market do not change very materially throughout tbe year. Wholesale merchants sometimes succeed in producing a fluctuation of a fraction of a cent, but such changes have little or no effect upon the retail trade. At present the best Java is selling for thirty-five cents per pound; Mocha, thirty eight cents; Ceylon, forty cents, and Rio, thirty cents. It is generally supposed by coffee drinkers that the best colli is -made from a mixture of Javaand Mocha in proportion of two-thirds Java to one-third Mocha. The Mocha is supposed to give a flavor and aroma, while the Java supplies tbe strength. The b;st coffee, however, is made from plantation Ceylon, the flavor of which can not be surpassed by any coffee in market The only objection possible is the fact that it takes a very much greater quantity to secure a rich color in preparing French coffee, which is the only way coffee should ever be cooked. One method of remedying this fault Is to mix with the dry coffee a very little- licjrice, and then filter the boiling water through tbe whole; say to a pint of ground coffee, licorice the slzsofa small bean: Some of the recij es for cafe aulait In our cook, booka are really amusin?; for instance, when a wise authority tells the reader to put a spoonful of coffee into a pint of milk and boil it fifteen minutes. It would be bard to say what sort of a beverage would be the result of such a performance, but certainly ii would never make the delicious coffee served in Paris, and for that matter throughout France, under the name of csfeau lait. The French cook strains a pint or less of " boiling water slowly through a pint of ground coffee. This is done by pouring on a little at a time, always being sure that the water is really boiling, and keeping the pot covered tightly while tbe process of filtering Is going on. When finished, the coffee will be very dark and bitter, a concentrated extract. The milk should never be allowed to remain on the fire after it baa boiled uponce, but be served up immediately in a separate vessel; to three-quarters of a cupful of boiled milk add a quarter of the coffee, and a wee ten to taste. Here you have tbe full virtue of the stimulant, 'and a wholesome, nourishing drink at the same time, which is more than can be said of the great

bowlsful of colored water made palatable by tbe addition of a few spoonful of cream or 1 condensed milk, and drunk by thousands of Americans every morning throughout the country. ItaMIng 8eel. Manchester (N. H.) Democratl Many farmers make an injudicious expenditure of several dollars each year in tbe purchase of their entire lot of garden seed that might be saved by only a few hours time in growing, saving and putting them 1 up. This is the time to prepare for another year's supply, and in setting out the plants or roots from which to grow the crop one should have each variety of the same family ieolated from others that the aetd produced may be pure. Carrot, onion and parsnip seed, unless grown and ripened under favorable circumstances, thoroughly dried and carefully stored, will not germinate when more than a year old, but most garden aeed will grow after being kept several years, and sjme are much superior for having been kept that length of time. The intelligent gardener will take advantage cf this last-named fact and raise several years' supply of long keeping seeds in a single ae son, and thereby avoid tbe annual trouble of growing them or incurring the expecss of purchasing them. Tlalky Horses. American Agriculturalist.! Among tbe suggestions said to be published by some Anti-cruelty to Animals Society are these: If the horse, when he balks, can have his attention diverted there is usually no trouble in starting him. This may be done in various ways, of which the following are a few that have been employed: Take the horse out of the shafts and turn him around several times quite rapid iy. Tbis will make him entirely dizzy and lead him to forget that he does not wish to draw tbe load. Aatout twine twisted around the foreleg has been used as a remedy with good results. A string tied around the ear has the same e fleet. We have seen horses of the balkiest sort started in a moment by putting a lump of earth into their mouths. Kven a piece of sugir or a handful of fresh grata will so divert the attention of a balker that he will often start without trouble. Some mild treatment like these that set the animal to thinking of something foreign to his work is vastly better than any amount of whipping, and is much easier of application. Repair in KotuU and l'atlis. Albany Argus. It should be remembered that the worst spot in a piece of road, whether public or private way, measures the capacity of tbe team for hauling loads over it, or in other words, a team cau draw between two given points only what It can draw over tbe hardest spot, whether that be a steep hill or a muddy slough hole, no matter how perfect tbe other portions of tbe way may be. Any man would ba considered a fool who should keep a good pair of horses for hauling loads and then persist in using them on a onehorse wagon, drawing but a half load at a time, and yet that is just what we are all doing, who, year after year, haul manure, farm products and merchandise over roads tbat, by the expenditure of a small amount of labor, would enable us to haul double the weight we now draw. April is oftentimes a good month for making repairs in roada and paths. Farm Notes. Strong brine may be used to advantage in washing bedsteads. Hot alum water is also good for this purpose. Oil of lavender will drive away fleas. The presence of borers is known by the sawdust they make. The only effectual method of reaching them is by probing with a wire, cutting the tree with a knife as little as may be found necessary. Drain pipes and all places that are sour or impure may be cleansed with lime water, copperas water or carbolic aoid. Copperas mixed with the whitewash put upon the cellar walls will keep vermin away. Hellebore sprinkled on the floor at night destroys cockroaches; they eat it and are poisoned. Cayenne pepper blown Into the ctacks where ants congregate will drive them away. The same remedy is good also for mice. Curculio of the plum stings the fruit while it is quite small. The trees should be j irred in early morning, beginning when they are just passing out of flower, and the sluggish beetles caught on a sheet opened beneath the tree for the purpose. Afterward those caught on the sneet should be burned. In preparing fruit for the market, provide all the appliances of quick and proper marketing before the fruit is ready. So much depends upon the appearance of the fruit at the market that neatness and care in so packing it that it will show at its best will pay. Caution should be given to the pickers that no over ripe fruit be put into the baskat or crates. It the distance to market is considerable, the fruit should be in a less mature state than when the market is but a short distance away. Watch tbe market. There are at present more calls for the

names of raisers of pure-blood sheep than for a long time. A short time ago, a gentleman wished to know where he could purchase several carloads of the best Merinos, mostly ram?, for shipment to the Southwest. Not only. 's there a revival as regards the number of sheep to be raised, but a strong tendency to grow only those of the beet breeds. The "boom ' in sheep-raising, as the slang of the day has it, is a healthy one, and one to be encouraged, moreover it seems likely to last for an indefinite period of time. Plahtixu 15 Orchards There is a general reluctance to give up the soil of the orchard entirely to the trees. While the orchard is young it is best to cultivate it thoroughly, and boed crops, like potatoes, roots, etc , can be grown as a present pay for tbe trouble, but as tbe trees get older and shade the ground, nothing else but fruit Bhould be expected from the orchard. It is a good practice to pasture bojs in the orchard in clover sown for tbe purpose, as it is one of the best methods of enriching the soil and at the same time destroying the insects. Other things being equal, that land which is tilled with the least expense, is the best land. It is the not the aize of the crop that determines the profit in farming, but the excess of the income over the outgo. If it costs more to keep a com field perfectly clear from weeds than the value of the increase ot the crop caused by that culture amounts to, tben, bo far as the corn crop is concerned, such excess of corn is a loss. But the influence of tbe care bestowed on one crop upon those that follow it must not be overlooked. It may be the best system that grows a certain crop at a loss in order to raise succeeding ones at a profit. The value and cost of tillage, In a well established system, depends very largely on the time and place that ia done. Household Knowledge. Sponge Cake Fifteen eggs, one-fourth pound flour, one pound sugar. Rice M itfiss One pin t of rice, one-fourth pound of butter, six eegs, one pint sweet milk, flour to make stiff batter. Ego Bread One quart of buttermilk, three eggs, three tablespoons flour, lump of butter sue of an egg, half teaspoon soda, corn meal enough to make thin batter. Mustard. One cup of vinegar, two table spoons sugar, one tab'espooo butter, half tablespoon celery seed. Mix well; let it come to a good boll, then stir in two tablespoons mustard. To Wash Lavender Organdie or Lace. Put a tableepoonf qI of sugar of lead into the water, and let it soak an hour before washing iL Wash carefully, and hang it in the shade to dry. To Clear a Black Chip Hat. A black chip hat may be renovated thus: Add to one pint ot cold w ter a teaspoonfal of spirits

of ammonia; use with a soft tooth or nail brush; when clean, rinse with cold water and place in the aun to dry. Do not soak or scrub sufficiently to destroy the shape. It will look as good as new. To White Porcelain Sai cefaxs Have the pans half filled with hot water, throw in a tahlcspoonf ul of powdered borax and let it boil. If thia does not remove all of the atains, soap a cloth and sprinkle on plenty of powdei ed borax. Scour it welL Light Tcpdiso Put two tablespoonfuls of sag, tapioca, or rice in a pie dish, pour, over a pint or a pint and a halt of milk : add one and a half tableepoonfula of sugar, a little grated nutmeg, if liked; bake two hours in a alow oven; if rice is used, bake three hours. Sweet Totatoek To eat with turkey or any roasted meat: Boil them first in the skins, and when nearly done take them up, peel them and put them in the pan in which tbe turkey ia roasting; baste them frequently with the gravy and turn them, that they may brown all over. Crackers for Invalids. One quart of flour, two eggs, one tablespoonful of aogir. Tbe eggs and sugar must be beaten well together. One large spoonful of butter and lard mixed, to be rubbed well into tbe flour. Mix all together, and beat long and well. Roll out as thin as a wafer. Berkshire Rcsks. One cup sweet milk, one cup yeast, one cup sogar, one cup Hoar; set over night; in the morning add one-half cup sugar, one-half enp butter, rubbed together, two eggs, reserving white of one. beaten to a froth, with little sogar, to spread over the top. Bran Bread. To one quart of bran flour rub in a teaspoonful of salt, and very thoroughly two teaspoonfnla of creara of tartar; then add two scant tablespoonfuls of molasses, and mix in eu Jicient new milk to make a stiff batter. Dissolve one teaspoonful of soda in two tablespoonfuls ot cold water, and stir in thoroughly aad quickly.

Bake (lowly one hour. This will keep fresh and moist three days, and la reliahed by those who can not eat "graham bread." Holes i the Wall. Small holes in white walls can be easily repaired without sending for the mason. Equal parts of plaster of Paris and white sand such as is used in most families for scouring purposes mixed with water to a paste, applied immediately and smoothed with a knife or a flat piece of wood, will make the broken place as good as new. As the mixture hardens very quickly, it ia best to prepare but a small quantity at a time. Pickled Pigs' Feet. Get a number of fresh and nicely cleaned pigs' feet and boll In slightly ealted water until tender. While warm remove the horny tips from the ends of tbe toes. Pack in a atone jar. Meanwhile beat two quarts ot cider vinegar, two dczen whole peppers, a dozen cloves and a dozan blades of mace. Give one boil and pour over the ttill warm pigs' feet. Put a plate over them, with a weight on top to keep them under the vinegar, and set away in a cool place. This dish ia very nice for lanch or supper at tbis time of year, when one has become tired of the winter diet. They are very healthful and excellent for dyspeptics. Seymour. (Colonel Forney In "Progress" (Rep.). Among tbe public men in the United States there is not one who has maintained for so long a period a stronger hold upon the general confidence than Horatio Seymour, of New York. An original Democrat, and from the beginning of the civil war a Democratic leader with an immense following, he has had the personal respect of his politic! adversaries. Tbe brother in-law of Roscoe Conkling, residing with him in the same city of Utica, N. Y., be is also the blood relation of the old Connecticut Seymours who have been, like himself, Democrats of the old school, and who, like him, hare held some of the highest offices In the gift of the people. Thus, David. L. Seymour, a Con necticnt man, but afterward a resident of New York, was in Congress from New York from 1813 to 1S15, and from 1801 to 1S33. Horatio Seymour, uncle of the Horatio of Utica, also Connecticut born, was a Senator in Congress from Vermont from 1321 to 183.'); Origen 8. Ssymour. of Connecticut, was a Representative in Congress from that State from 1831 to 1S55; William Seymour, another Connecticut man. was in Congress from 1835 to 1837; Thomas H. Seymour, born and dying ia Connecticut, was an editor, a law Judge, a member of Congress, a Colonel in the Mexican war, American Minister to Mexico, and three times re elected Governor of Connecticut. Th oldest survivor of this remarkable race is Horatio, of Utica, who was born in Ooondago County, N. Y., and was Governor of New York from 1833 to 1S35, and again from 193 to 1SG5, and will be seventy years of age next year. Through his wile, a descendant of one of the old pa troons of Al bany, he has become quite wealthy, and though a lawyer of great powers, he hss been chiefly occupied in attending to the real estate that came to him through her. I have personally known ell the Seymours I have named, except the two oldest; and the New York Horatio I remember most favorably. His gentle mannerand persuasive eloquence; fearless, aelf-asserting, tolerant and national character account largely for his marked popularity at home, and tbe Bteady reliance upon his opinions by his own partisans elso where; and it has latterly seemed to me that if he accepted the Democratic nomination for President this year, he would carry New York and New Jersey against aDy other Republican candidate but General Grant. He pleads old age, but with a healthy Vies President he could have a worse plan to shuttle off his mortal coil than the White House. The Moon Not a Dead Star. Dr. II, J. Klein, who two years ago announced a new crater in that world of extinct volcanoes, the moon, has a brief article in La Nature, in which he gives reasons for believing that the moon ia not dead. He has recently examined drawings or the neighborhood of the new crater by Grnithuisen, which strongly confirm tbe theory of recent changes on the lunar surface, and cites also tbe drawings of Messrs Nelson and Green in further proof thereof. Professor Klein adds that he announced the new depression near Hyginus as a crater, from analogy. It Is a crater fun nel, and even one of the largest. Toward the South there is a shallow, spoon-shaped hollow, which terminates in a second small crater. In full sunlight, when the interior of the large hollow of the crater is no longer in the shadow, the spoonshaped hollow may still ba seen as a gray spot. By the use of higi powers it is rt marked tbat tbe environs of the new crater appear to be fissured in a bewildering manner. Two fine furrows, like clefts in the soil, which extend from N. toward the Snail Mountain, are the finest objects on tbe moon. It is impossible as yet to decide whether this formation is really volcanic. There ia one curious fact, however, which would eeem to indicate that a mountain of smoke has at one time been seen on tbe moon. On tbe 21 of July, 1797, Bchroter and Olbers examined a mountain situated in tbe Sea of Vapors. This mountain, which was ascertained to be 3 450 feet in height, has been seen neither before nor since, and was probably merely a mass of vapor. The formation measured by Schröter has disappeared from the moon, and pearly in tbe same spot there is now a crater. There sometimes occur, too, on the surface of the moon, nebulous strata of very long duration, which have ' no analogues on the earth. He who examines carefully the materials furnished by the numerous observations made- on lunar forma tions from the time of Grnithuisen up to our own day, says Professor Klein, will arrive at the conclusion that things are going on upon the surface of thia neighboring world which we as yet can know nothing about

A NARROW ESCAPE.

The Thrilling Experience of an Engineer at the Sltsmian House In Chicago. 1 Chicago Tribune Samuel Chamber, the assistant engineer at the Sherman House, had a very narrow escape from a moat terrible death yesterday afternoon. After doing some work which raj called him to tbe fifth floor of the hotel, he desired to go down again by the freight elevator. He had tbe key to 'the elevator door in his pocket, and when he opened it and found tbat the elevator was not resting at tbe fifth landing he peered into the well beneath him to find out where it was. A sight of the concrete pavement at the base of the well, lying some ninety odd feet beneath him, showed him tbat tbe elevator waa above him, and he started to quickly draw back, when, before the thought became action, he felt the bottom of tbe elevator softly touch the crown of his bead. The elevator was. moving slowly, yet there was no time in which to draw ibe head from its pressure, and the horror-stricken man felt tbe ponderous car very slowly, yet very surely, pushing him down into the abyss which yawned beneath him. With tbe mad strength of despair he clutched tbe aide sill of the elevator door, his fingers clinging to the slight tenure with a grip of iron. Aa the elevator descended he shifted his hands along the sill and bent his body, not with any hope of salvation from the apparently inevitable doom, but with tbe instinctive desire to put off as long aa possible tbe agony of the final moment of surrender. 8iill slowly and surely tbe ehvator car descended until his body was bent double and his shifting bands had got within an 1r,ch or two of hia feet. His right Shoulder being crushed by the weight upon it, and his chest was so contracted that breathirg was also an impossibility. Finally his handB and ff et met, and then one hand and then another gave way, and tbe poor fellow's suddenly rtleased body fell outward into the elevator wall. It did not reach the concre'e basement this trip, as the car, in the movement of his falling, caught his left ankle be tween iteelf and the floor, and the obstruc . t ion proved sufficient to stay its downward progrf6P. Dangling thus, by one foot, Coambers felt hope revive within him and shouted lustily for help, which was not long in coming. The machinery connected with the elevator was stopped, bars were secured and the elevetor raised sufficiently to allow the unfortunate fellow to be lowered by a rope to the floor below, where he waa taken in safety. For a man who had passed through such a terrible experience, Chambers was neither so much hurt nor frigLtened as might be expected. Hia shoulder waa considerably bruised and his collar-bone was dislocated, while the ackle which had borne tbe weight of the elevator car, together with that of hia pendant body, was very badly mashed. No bones were broken, however, and Chambers walked down stairs to the engine room, where a surgeon attended to his wounds, and pronounced them eerious, but not dangerous. HANGING A CHINAMAN. Startling Statements Contained in Ills AI lpt-l Confession. The San Francitco Chronicle describes the banging of a Chiaaman at Portland, Ore., as follows: Fully 3tf) people were ad routed to witness the execution, and crow Js garnered around ou the house Ions. At tha c inclusion of the wad Ion of tbedeatu warrant, tsheiid Xoiden asked All Lee It ne nad nuylalnc to say. He re aponded that he had. The dying statement of Ah Lei was as follows: "The Lee Company ordered Cneune Sul ling tobe killed, und made an offer to any member of ine (Ami puny who would murder mm, and I accepted the otter and promised to do lt. I was to be paid a good sum of money, and tbe Company guaranteed 1 should not be hanged It I had to go to the penitentiary my family In China wcu d be paid s.u per raontn aa long aa I was in prison. All tbe Companies promised to raise money enough to get me out of the penitentiary after being tbere a little while. If It turned out tbat 1 waa to be hanged after all then my family in China was to receive a sum of money sutlUMent to keep tnem for lire. 1 and Charley Lee liuone and Lee Yung killed Cbeucg Hut Ving In the Joss House. After kill ing him I went to the wash house nn Taylor street and laid down on a bed and aald I Mas stefc. Chung to told tbe policeman 1 was there sick, but the policeman knew I was not, for lie had seen me in tbe Josa House. Chung Bo and Dong uong told where l waa hid, and aie he cause of my being here now. I want you to tell all the Lee Company to try and kill Chung Bo and Dong I Jong. Ah Hong told rue yesterday that he had made up his mind to nave tms done, i want inemamea. All tne furors were against me. Tbey bang two white men for killing a man, and I am satisfied to die. I die now. out i want cnung so and Djng Uong killed for what tbey have coue. I am going to a good plate, and wi'l be a young man again. uooa-Dy. At the conclusion of the above Ah Leo spoke In English, saying, "Uood-by, boys; good by, all good man." to which several responded. bidding the murderous heathen farewell. Im mediately after tbe black cap was put on, the noosa was adjusted by Jailer Barry. At nine teen minutes past 11 o'clock by the physician's watch t lie trap was sprang. the body or Ah Lee shot out of sfght, and a heavy sickening tnud told tnat tne murderer nad expiated his crime. Life waa pronounced extinct by the doctors. Ah Lee is said to have been tearful that h8 body would fall under the dissecting knives of the surgeons. When as u red tbat bis corpse would not be mutilated lie seemed to be relieved oi a great anxiety, and to oe re signed to death. IN" CHEAT PERIL The Narrow Encape of COO Passenger on a Transatlantic Steamer, Oa theruorningof April 20, at 8:30 o'clock, the Cunard Eteamsbipbamana, Captain Mou lard, in latitude 43 deg. 40 min. N., longitude 49 deg. 9 min. V., sighted a steamship with tbe Danish entign Hying at half mast. Ciptain Mouiard s vessel bore up to the die tressed vessel, which proved to be theThingvilla, of tbeThingva It Steamship Company of Copenhagen, Captain Molsen. The Danish vessel had met with an accident to her propeller. Tbe pin bolt, which held one of the blades of the fan, had slipped, and the enormous mass of iron being loose on the shaft, had not only rendered the screw useless, but had disabled her steering gear. In tbe neighborhood of tbe vessels large icebergs were seen, and the Canard er s captain tooc charge of the wort: of helpiDg the distressed vessel. The propeller was chained to the rudder post to prevent it moving. Two 150 fathom hawsers were sent to the Thingvalla by means or floats, and the eamarla took the vessel in tow. For the next forty hours the weather con tinued pleasant, but toward night on Fn day last n gile, attended with heavy sea, taxed the best e Corte of the two command ers. During the gale the starboard hawser parted, the chains that bound the propeller to the rudder post snapped, ana the loose blade ot tbe fan, again loose upon the shaft. acted as a dangerous ram. The mass of iron, four tons in weight, having a play of three feet on the shaft, was driven with frightful violence against the rudder post or, as the motion of tbe vessel admitted, against the bull. The alarm among the 600 passengers ot the Uanuh steamer was great. It was necessary to draw the shaft, which gradually tapers toward tbe end into the ves sei, and allow the mass of iron which bad broken loose to fall into the sea. The Hi bernia, of the Anchor Line, twelve years ag attempted in the same way to rid itsslf ot a useless propeller, only a boatload of the C00 souls on board surviving the attempt. In hauling in the tapering shaft a large space is left for the water to enter, and tbe utmost care is necessary. If by any chance the shaft should be withdrawn a volume of water would Vour in sufficient to seal the fate of the vessel. After a period of intense anxiety and careful labor the loose fai dropped off Id to tbe tea, and the ThiDgvalla, again safe, in tow of the Samaria, arrived in Bos ton on Wednesday.

188L. INDIANA WEEKLY SITE ENLARGED AND IMPROVED. 1.00 PER ANNUM TflE PAPER FOR TEE PEOPLE rUOSFECTTS FOR 1SSO. The coming presidential year promises to bathe most eventful and thrilling In a polltlca. sense tbat we have ever witnessed, and wilt determine questions of tbe most vital Import a nee to every citizen of the State and natloni It la not improbable Indeed, It Is almost cer tain that, upon the determination of thene questions, will depend the perpetuity of our present system of free government. These questions will be thoroughly discussed during tbe present session of Congress. The Sentinel has arranged for a first-class, experienced special correspondent at Wash lngton, and, In addition to giving a true account of all the general proceedings in that body, will give the leading speeches of our most prominent statesmen, aud without depriving our patrons of the ueual amount of reading matier. Tbe Sentinel will hereafter contain a supplement, making In all riaty ColnmDtoi composition. In a word, It is the purpose of the Sentinel, as a steadfast watchman of public intelligence t do Its whole duty In affording Information to its subscribers upon all these topics of such vast moment. As In 78 so In "SO Indiana will be called upon to take a first position In the tront of the great contest, and upon the success or failure of the great and gallant Democracy of our State will depend the fate of issues the most portentous ever submitted to the arbitrament of a free people. We shall also specially call attention, from day to day, as occasion may require, to an entirely Sew Waas in tbe politics of our State we mean the forced emigration for temporary S artisan puropses oi pauper negroes rrom the outb Into Indiana. The managers and lead -ers of the Republican party. In our State and at Washington, are now engaged In this nefarious work, and are attempting by every means in their power to promote Its advancement. They have failed, utterly failed, to convince our people of the correctness of their political principles by reasou or argument; tneir appeals to hatred and prejudice have alien narmless: their lavish and corrupt expenditures of public and private moneys have proved wholly futile. They propose now by an African Invasion of worse than a vandal norae of beggars and mendicants to override tne voloe of the people of the State, and to arown tne Democratic majority. The last resort, the forlorn hope, the assaulting party, tne picket assailing corns of Republicanism in Indiana, Is thus made up not from the Hunters, Harrisons, HellmansorShackleforda of the State; not from tbe Intelligence or ability of that party, but is composed of a motley, parti -colored gang of wretched field negroes from the South. The froth and scum of this worthless Importation are made use of to destroy the free franchise of resident citizens, and to tax our means of home labor and domestio subsistence for the support of the political tenets of a defeated faction. The sleepless Sentinel, upon the heights of popular Tighia and popuiar liberty, predicts that this movement will also be a failure. With respect to this before unheard of method ot manufacturing party majorities In a State, we shall at all times give the latest and moet reliable intellleEce. The American Democracy, the Federal Union, the rights of tbe people and the States, one and Inseparable now and forever. The merits of tbe Sentinel as a general newspaper are so well known among tbe farmers of this State, especially those of the Democratic persuasloa, that commendation of It Is deemed superfluous. We wlil add. however, that the management has arranged and fully determined that no paper shall turn'.sn so great practical value to Its patrons l r the money. In Its news. Its editorials. Its literary and miscellany In a word. In its general reaulng It shall not be surpassed by any paper circulated In tbe State. It will be particularly adapted to the family circle. We do not believe that any reading, thinking man In tbe State can airord to do without tbe Weekly Sentinel at the small coet at which It Is lurnished. OE PREMIUM I5DUHT5 Every subscriber to the Weekly State Sentinel, at per year, will receive a copy of the Sentinel's very able law treatise, by Jamea B. McCrolils, Esq., entitled THE LAW OF THE FARM.
