INDIANA STATE NEWS.

Prof. Bugg Is a Folsomville pedagogue. There are nearly 700 boys in the ReForm School. Tub Knox County Court-House will cost $500,000. Posey County has $58,000 ahead and don’t want a cent. A bkuhioh of the Eighty-seventh Indiana Volunteers la talked of. Thebe baa never been a dance in Spiceland that anybody knows of. A Habbisoh County woman has had nineteen children at seven births. The Daviess County folks are talking horse, to come off on the 15th prox. The total valuation of the real and personal property in Goshen is $1,687,770. Wheat harvest will not commence in Clinton County before the middle of July, they say. Geologists say coal may be found in Northern Indiana at the depth of 800 to 400 feet. All but twelve of “ the old guards” at the State Prison South have been officially decapitated.

The proprietors of the Bucyrus mowing and reaping machine works are talking oi removing them to Terre Haute. The change from the Baxter law to the present liquor law puts $3,000 in the school fund of Warrick County. A blind man named Kfktz, living at Chili, committed suidlde the other afternoon by taking 240 grains of opium. Terry County intends to build two exposition halls, one 24x50 and the other lOx 32 feet, 21,000 feet of board fencing, and eighty stables. A child at Graysville, Sullivan County, was fatally injured a few nights ago through carelessness in lighting a fire with non-explosive kerosene. No licenses to sell liquors were granted by the Commissioners of Union County at their late session. There were only two applications and both were denied. William Ennis, while walking in the woods near Indianapolis with a young lady, was killed the other afternoon. She claims that in plaj-ing with his revolver he accidentally shot himself. Thomas Miller hung himself with a clothes-line at the house of his uncle in Rush County a few days ago. He was twenty-three years old and unmarried. No reason is assigned for the rash act. Terre Haute is going to hive a grand Fourth of July celebration on Monday, the sth, at Early’s Grove. Judge Long will read an historical essay and Dan Voorhees and Col. McLean deliver orations.

It is probable that there will not be over half an average crop of wheat in Rush County this year, and unless the season is very favorable henceforth there will not be more than a third of an average crop.— Indianapolis Journal. A new dodge has been devised for advertising reapers and mowers. It is for all the agents to deliver all their sales in one day, give a grand dinner to the purchasers, and have a procession of the machines sold. Such an affair came off at Frankfort the other day. It was equal to a circus. A few days since a daughter of Rev. Mr. Tanzy, of Graysville, kindled a fire with coal oil, and the old story was repeated. The oil caught fire, exploded the can, and enveloped the young lady in flames. Her clothes were burned off, and her lower extremities so badly burned that she died. The drunkest person that got on .the Vandalia train yesterday was a pretty young woman at Brazil, whose rosy cheeks were aflame with vile potations, and her insane laugh as she reeled to the platform at Staunton made a shudder go through the frame of all who love purity and virtue.—Terre Haute Express. Mr. Parsley Hosbrook, of Indianapolis, recently requested the Treasurer of Morgan County to pay him $5,720 interest on some bonds. The Treasurer kindly responded by sending a perfect check for $57,200, and Parsley was just green enough to send it back. The local papers applaud his honesty, as if he deserved great credit. Jerry Monroe, a colored man, living in Indianapolis, recently brutally murdered his late wife by beating her brains out with an iron wrench. She had been lately divorced from him on the ground of cruelty. Deceased was thirty-three years old and a member of the colored Baptist Church. When visited in jail, two hours after his arrest, and told his wife was dead, the brute exhibited little emotion, but expressed a belief that he would be hung.

The Indiana Volksblatt, the oldest-es-tablished Gorman paper in the State, having reached its twenty-sixth year, is to be sold. It is reported that the paper will be bought by a Catholic corporation, and hereafter published as the official Papal organ of the State. Herr Grimm, formerly of the Daily Telegraph , and now of the Illinois Stoats-Zeitung, of Chicago, it is said, will be editor-in-chief. A most distressing accident occurred near Greentown a few days ago, resulting in the death of a little boy, the son of Mr. Pierce. The deceased, with several of his playmates, was playing in a gravel-pit from which several teams were hauling gravel. As one of the wagons was pull-, ing out of the pit Mr. Pierce’s boy caught hold of the side of the wagon, it seems for the purpose of jumping on, when he lost his hold and fell under the wagon, one of the wheels running over his head and kill] ing him almost instantly.

Remarkable Instinct of a Race-Horse.

The following is one of the most remarkable instances on record of the instinct of a horse. Immediately after the last day’s meeting of the Maryland Jockey Club at Pimlico, this spring, Business, Artist, George West and two or three other broken-down racers were pat up at auction by their owner, Mr. Joseph Donahue. As is generally the case, however, no one wanted to purchase them, and with the exception of Jim Crow none were sold. They were taken back to the stables, and on the following day George West, the renowned steeple-chaser, was sent to the farm of Capt. Powers, in Baltimore County, and turned out on pasture with a number of common work horses. Strange to say, however, the old racer refuses to associate with the common horses, and will not even remain in the same part of the field with them except at certain hours. Every morning and evening during a racer’s training he is walked slowly around in a small circle for an hour or so. These walking circles can be found near the stables at every race-track, and they are usually about 100 feet in diameter. On the first morning after old George West was turned out of the stable at Capt. Powers’ farm he waited around the stable doors for some time and neighed as if impatient. The old horse spent the entire first day walking up and down in front of the stables. On the following morning he was turned out again, and after standing around the stable some time he walked otf toadistanteornerof the field, where he proceeded to walk around in a circle of about fifty or sixty yards. The walk was kept up for an hour as steadily as he had ever done it in his palmiest training days. After exercising about an hour the old horse left his walkingground and capered around the field as if delighted. In the evening it was noticed that shortly before sundown he threw up bis head, and, after neighing once or twice, galloped around the entire field seven or eight times. He then suddenly stopped and went to the small circle used by him in the morning and walked around it regularly for about an hour. At the expiration of that time he went to the stable. These exercises of walking and galloping have been repeated regularly ever since, and Capt. Powers states that the time George West begins exercising each day does not vary over a half hour. He was kept in the stable two days without getting out, but when turned out on the third he at once began his walk and kept it up as usual. The other horses in the field have followed his example, and now every morning and evening seven common horses may be seen moving regularly around the small circle like a string of racers, headed by George West. The sight is a novel one, and hundreds of persons have visited the farm (luring the past week to witness it. Beyond the walking George West does not mix with the common herd at all, and takes his gallops entirely alone. George West is now over six years old, but there' is probably no steeple-chaser now living in this country that in his fourth and fifth years won as many gallant races as he has done.—Baltimore American.

Poison in Their Boots.

A correspondent of the Oreville (Butte County, Cal.) Mercury makes the horrifying assertion that the gum-boots so universally worn by gravel-miners in California and elsewhere have latterly been lined with green flannel, the dye of which is arsenicated, and which has poisoned many persons, some fatally. The correspondent gives a specific instance of this kind of poisoning, stating that a Mr. McKlary, who lives on Cane’s Creek, near Enterprise, has been suffering for several months from the use of these arsenicated boots, and that but for a skillful physician and attentive wife he would have died. He further alleges that “ three more cases are under treatment in this neighborhood (South Fork Feather River), and a number gone to the hospitals, trying to find better care than in their lonely cabins.” This account is given of the appearance of the disease produced by wearing the poisoned boots: ‘* The first symptoms are the swelling of the lower extremities to two or three times the usual size and then the flesh turns black. The suffering of the patient is terrible, under a constant burn ing sensation until death relieves him.” It is stated that the complaint is almost universal wherever the green-lined boots have been used, and reference is made to a company of Chinese, among whom several deaths occurred last year, then attributed to an epidemic, but now traced to the boots.

Mushroom Cares,

The famous mushroom caves of Paris are in reality deserted stone-quarries in the suburbs of the city. They are entered by shafts, and consist of a series of dark, low, long corridors. Their floors are covered with long lines of narrow beds, made of rich compost of earth and horse-ma-

nure. The paths between the beds are kept scrupulously clean, and the mushrooms are carefully cultured. One of these caves at Montrouge, jnst outside the fortifications of Paris, contains sever miles of beds and yields an average ol 300 pounds of mushrooms daily. Near Frepillon, an hour’s ride from Paris, there is another class of caves or old quarries that have a lofty interior, with something of the aspect of a vast cathedral. In 1867 one of these caves had a run of twenty-one miles of mushroombeds. During that same year over 3,000 pounds of mushrooms were daily sent to Paris from Frepillon. The crops vary according to certain atmospheric and other conditions, and at intervals the great quarries refuse to yield a profitable crop. They are then thoroughly cleansed, the very soil being scraped out, and are left tr lie fallow for a year or two.

When Mrs. Gerkes, of Sixth street, says she will do this or that, she means what she says. She told Gerkes the other day that if he didn’t bring her a new dress at noon she would go up-town and run him in debt fifty dollars. The dress didn’t come, and she went up-town, tramped around for three hours, and was told by thirty-eight different men that they wouldn’t trust Gerkes for a bath brick.— Detroit Free Press. A hundred million bushels of oyster shells lie heaped on the banks of the Damariscotta River, Me., and yet no oysters hr.ve lived in those waters within the memory of man.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Pickled Cherries.— One peck of cherries, one quart of best vinegar, four pounds of sugar. Heat the vinegar and sugar together, strain, then cook the fruit in it till done. Leave the cherries whole. Gooseberry Jam.— Equal weight of fruit and sugar. Top and tail the not very ripe gooseberries, and simmer them in a sirup (made by boiling half a pint of water with every pound of sugar for a quarter of an hour, carefully skimming) gently till clear and firm. Try a little of the juice on a plate; if it jellies when cold it is done. Pour it into pots and, when cold, cover and set in a dry place. Raspberry Marmadalr.— Three pounds raspberries, three pounds of sugar, one pint of currant juice. Wash well together and boil until they become asstiff as jelly, before adding the sugar. Be careftil not to let. it burn. Another way is to omit the currant juice, and boil after washing, ten minutes, and then add the sugar (pound for pound), stir well, skim it, boil for fifteen minutes longer, then cool and pack away.

Strawberry Shortcake. —Mix two heaping teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar, dry, among three pints of flour; add half a teacupful of butter, a little salt and a pint of milk, into which has been stirred a teaspoonful of soda. Mix all thoroughly and quickly. Roll an inch in thickness, and bake twenty minutes in a quick oven. Then take a quart of strawberries, and add cream and sugar to make a sauce. When the shortcake is done, divide into three layers; butter them, and then spread the strawberries between them. Eat while warm. The berries should be small and not too ripe—but of an acid flavor. — Cor. Cincinnati Times. Currant Jelly.— Put your currants into a stone pot and set into a pot of water over the fire. Heat gently till the juice is well extracted; strain, but do not squeeze if you want the jelly clear. Measure the juice and allow a pound of sugar (some rules say three-fourths of a pound) to every pint. Heat the sugar in a shallow pan, but do not scorch it. Heat the currant juice, put in the sugar hot, stir and skim well, and boil togetherfour minutes. Very nice if carefully made. A jam may be made for the currants if they were not squeezed—making the jelly by adding raspberries and sugar, and boiling, Of course this jam would not be worth storing, but is excellent for daily use. Jellies are finest made from fruit not quite ripe. Fruit should be picked on a dry day and not allowed to stand over night without scalding, as it may not jelly.— Ohio Farmer.

Itch on the Legs of Fowls.

A great many poulterers are complaining of the itch on the legs of their gallinaceous fowls. We have a flew birds on the leg of which the itch has gained such a foothold that some of the toes have actually disappeared. The disease itself is merely a surface or skin disease, caused by the constant workings or borrowings of the minute insect, or rather a host of them, under the scales of the legs, just above the knee joint, all the way down to the toe nail. They propagate their young in these secure hiding places, and thus cause a constant irritation. Soon the scales are raised from their proper places, and underneath will be found a mealy substance resembling caked yellow commeal. This soon covers the whole leg, which becomes rough and repulsive in appearance, making a young chick look like an old bird. Dr. Z. Evans, Jr., thus alludes to his manner of treating such fowls as were affected with the itch: lat once caught the worst birds, had their legs washed off clean, and then well dried with a cloth. When this was done I applied a mixture of lard and flour of sulphur to the affected parts. I made the mixture by melting a quantity of fresh lard, stirring in about one-quarter or one-third the quantity of the sulphur, after which it was removed from the fire and kept well stirred, until it became cool, so as to thoroughly incorporate the sulphur. The legs of the fowls were thoroughly rubbed with this, and the roosts also got a good dose of it. Soon after treating the new fowls I discovered that the disease had attacked my “ home” fowls, and I gave them an application of the same. This seemed to do some good, but did not remove the insects entirely, owing to the difficulty in getting the mixture well under the scales. Well knowing the remedial value of common coal oil, we thought of it as being desirable. We then gave the fowls, one and all, a dose of it. We held the legs upward and applied the oil with a feather. Two applications like this, a few days apart, did the business for the insects, for the scales commenced to come off and the legs to assume a bright and natural appearance. We also gave the roosting benches a good smearing of the oil. If two applications of coal oil do not suffice, three can be made without fear of injury to the fowls. It should be applied at intervals of two or three days. —New York Herald.

Common Clothes Moths.

These little moths expand about a half inch, and are less than one-fourth of an inch long. They are of a light buff coor, and shine like satin. The wings are long, narrow, pointed and beautifully fringed. The larva (“ worm”) is white, with a yellow head, has, like nearly all caterpillars, sixteen legs, and is always surrounded by a flattened, cylindrical case, usually gray or whitish in color, though this depends on their food. The ends are open, that the larvae may reach forth to feed or peer forth, which they are free to do when disturbed.

The pupa or chrysalis is somewhat curved, and has a rounded head. The antennae, wings and legs are folded beneath the body and reach nearly to the end of the body. The pupa case or cocoon is similar to the larva case. The moth comes forth as early as the last of May, and may be seen from that time till the close of summer. Their tiny, lustrous, buff-colored bodies are easily detected as they rest with wings folded close about their bodies in the deep crevices of our parlor furniture, or among the folds of our garments, or even more plainly as they flit across our rooms. The female seeks out our furs and woolen or silk apparel, her minute size enabling her to enter drawers, closets and tranks; and she distributes her eggs with an eye to the good of her prospective young, if not to our good. The larvse soon appear, and may he {found] at home

up in their little tents and working their miserable mischief, all unsuspected by the unwary housewife, who learns too late of their previous presence by discovering that ha- most choice possessions are totally ruined. In spring and summer the chrysalids will appear, soon to be followed by a new return of the pretty moths. Woolen garments and furs should be put away in trunks, with several pieces of, camphor gum as large as hickory-nuts packed in with them; or they may be put in close paper bags and pasted up so that no holes, ever so small, will remain open. Even in this case a little camphor gum will render assurance doubly sure. Infested garments or furs should be put in a tight sack or trunk; and after adding a half-ounce of chloroform the sack or trunk should be closed as nearly air-tight as possible. The vapor will kill the insects. Then prepare as given above.

For furniture and carpets, heavy paper, wet with carbolic acid or spirits of turpentine, will kill larvae already at work. This should be placed under the edge of where the mischief is generally done and in furniture crowded back in the deep folds. It would be well to saturate the interior of the furniture with a strong solution of carbolic acid. Our best furniture and furs have a goodly quantity of this substance in the undissolved state fastened inside them when made. Russian leather, cedar bark, or boughs, tobacco leaves, and even red pepper, are said to prevent the moths from laying eggs. It will be well, then, to place these in exposed situations. Manufacturers of carriages wash the woolen linings of their carriages with a weak solution of corrosive sublimate, which is very sure destruction to all insects. Yet Dr. Kedzie tells me it is unsafe to use it. Every careful housekeeper will carefully examine her carpets and furniture each fall and spring, brush out all the creases, give all a good airing, and if there is any trace of these evil-doers will practice the above remedies. — Prof. A. J. Cook, Michigan Agricultural College.

The Habit of Reading.

“ I hate no time to read,” is the common complaint, and especially of women, whose occupations are such as to prevent continuous book perusal. They seem to think because they cannot devote as much attention to books as they are compelled to devote avocations that they cannot read anything. But this is a great mis. take. It isn’t the books we finish at a sitting which always do us the most good. Those we devour in the odd moments, half a dozen pages at a time, often give us more satisfaction and are more thoroughly digested than those we make a particular effort to read. The men who have made their mark in the world have generally been the men who have in boyhood formed the habit of reading at every available moment, whether for five min utes or five hours. It is the habit of reading rather than the time at our command that helps us on the road to learning. Many of the most cultivated persons whose names have been famous as students have given only two or three hours a day to their books. If we make use of spare minutes in the midst of our work, and read a little, if but a page or a paragraph, we shall find our brains quickened and our toil lightened by just so much increased satisfaction as the book gives us. Nothing helps along the monotonous daily round so much as fresh and striking thoughts, to be considered while our hands are busy. A new idea from a new volume is like oil which reduces the friction of the machinery of life. What we remember from brief glimpses into books often serves as a stimulus to action and becomes one of the most precious deposits in the treasury of our recollection. All knowledge is made up of small parts, which would seem insignificant in themselves but which, taken together, are valuable weapons for the mind and substantial armor for the soul. “ Read anything continuously,” says Dr.* Johnson, “ and you will be learned.” The odd minutes which we are inclined to waste, if carefully availed of for instruction, will, in the long run, make golden hours and golden days that we shall be ever thankful for. — Scribner's Monthly.

For midsummer use, the pretty linen lawns are the sweetest and coolest. They are found in imported stripes, cross-bars and large plaids, to suit all tastes. Vinegar Bitters. —The great merit of Vinegar Bitters has made them the leading medicine of the day, and respectable druggists everywhere write: “They are the best and most popular preparation in the market." They have stood the test of public opinion and won confidence. They, sell rapidly because.they cure.' If you are sick you want reliable medicine. Vinegar Bitters commend themselves to the ailing and afflicted, as they are deficient in one thing alone, viz.: the stimulant that unduly excites the brain and creates a morbid thirst for spirits! There is no phase of Indigestion, Biliousness, Nervous Disease, or Physical Debility in which they will not effect a cure. Invalids who are wasting away from a want of proper action in the liver, stomach and bowels will find them a constitutional specific and a fountain of vitality and vigor as refreshing and exhilarating as a cool, gushing spring of water to the parched and fainting tr aveler in the desert. 41

Wilhoft’s Anti-Periodic or Fever and Ague Tonic.— This invaluable and standard family medicine is now a household word and maintains its reputation unimpaired. It is indorsed by the medical profession, and prescribed daily in the Charity Hospital and other hospitals in New Orleans. Wilhoft’s Tonic is thus highly recommended by the leading medical men of the country, and is worthy of such indorsement. Whbblock, Finlay & Co., Proprietors, New Orleans. Foa sale by all Druggists.
