THE CENTENNIAL KLKIlKATlON.

An Address by the railed Stute Outeaolal 1'immluiH, To the People of tho Unit ml Status : rim Coiigroai hi the Uuitod Status has an acted that the. completion uf thu Due Iluu drudtb Vi-ai of Auiuricati Iudepetideuce Hiiall Ih) celebratod by an International Exhibition of tlm Aits, Manufacture, and Producta of the soil and mine, to be hold at Philadelphia, iu 1876, and has appointed a Commission. consisting of ropnweiitativos from each State and territory, to conduct the celebration. UriifinatiiiK under tho aiiHiueett of the Na tional Legislature, controlled by a National Ywiuuunniwil, uimi UtJfllliUU AS 11 IS lO CUUImemorate llie fust centurv of our existence. by an exhibition of the natural resources of the couutry and their development, and of our progruHH in tiioitu arts which benefit mankind, iu comparison with those of older nations," it is to tho lieoole at larise that tun (lomniinuinii look for the aid which is iieceenary to make the Centennial Celobration the grandest ajitiiveraarv thu world has ever moon. That the completion of the flrat century of uur exigence snouiu be imrkeu by some unpoauu demonstration is, we believe, tho patriotic wish of tow people of tho whole country. The (Jonirross of the United States hau wisely decided that the birthday of the Urat ltopublic can he most littingly celebrated by the universal colloctiou ami display of all the trophies of its progross. It is designed to bring together, within a building covering fifty aeren, not only the varied productions of our unties and of the soil, but types of all the intuiieciuai tiiumpns or our citizoim, specimens of ever thing that America can furnish. whether f.-om the brains or the hands of her children, and thus make evident to tho world the advancement of which a self-governed people is capable. Iu this " Celebration" all natioi.s will be invited tu participate ; its character being international. Europe will display her arts aud manufactures, India hor curious fabrics, while newly opened China and Japan will lay bare the troasurea which for centuries their ingenious people have been perfecting. Each land will compete tu eenerous rivalry for the palm of superior excellence. To this grand gathering every zone will contribute its fruit and cereals. No mineral shall be wanting ; for what the East lacks the West will supply. Under one roof will the South display in neb luxuriance her growing cotton, and the North iu miniature the ceaseless machinery of her mills converting that cotton into cloth. Each section Of the globe will sond its best offerings to this exhibition, and each State of the Union, as a member of one united body politic, will show to her sister States and to the world how much she can add to the greatness of the nation of which she h a harmonious part. To niako.tbe Centennial Celebration such a success as the patriotism and the pride of every American demands will require the cooperation ef the people of the whole country, lue United States Ceutennial Commission has received no Government aid, such as England extended to her World's Fair, and France to her Universal Exposition, yet the labor aud responsibility imposed upon the Commission is as great as iu either of those undertakings. It is estimated that tenjmiltious of dollars will be required, and this sum Congress has provided shall be raised bv etock subscnntion. and that the people shall have the opportunity of subsaribing iu proportion to the population of their respective State and Ter ritories. Tne Commission looks to the unfailing pa triotism of the people of every sectiou, to see that oach contributes its share to the expenses, and receives its share of the benefits of an enterprise in which all are so deeply interested. It would further earnestly ure tho formation in each State and Terr.torv of a centennial organization, which shall iu time sec that county associations are formed, so that when the nations are gathered together : umß . U 1 . to. ; - . i ill ioio t in u i onion m n cniui can view Willi pride the contributions sho has made to the national glory. Confidently rclviuc on the zeal and patriot ism ever displayed by our people in every na tional undertaking, we pledge ai.J prophesy that the Centennial Celebration will worthily show how greatness, wealth aud intelligence can be fostered by such institutions as those which have for 0110 hundred voars blessed the people sf the United States. JosEru It. Hawlev, President. Northern Pacific Railroad. The Northern Faoitic, which, accord ing to the glowing prospectus of the company, was to avoid the snow blockades which suspend the operations of the Urion Facific every winter, by the singular expedient of taking a route further north, is now the first road in the country to bf snow-blockaded. Not only is it snowrd in, but so violent is the first snow storm of the season that t has cut off 800 of the workmen at the western terminus of the line, aud fears have been entertained that before supplies could be forwarded to them they would starve. Our dispatches last night, however, contain the vague though satisfactory announcement that the relief trains will reach them in season to avert all danger. What the prospect of avoiding snow blockades on this route would be later in the season, is easily conjectured, and the result must necessarily he to weaken public confidence in the practicability of the route proposed. A road snowed in thus early it is not unreasonable to presume, will notin ordinary seasons be opened before the first of March, and there are many people who will question the advisability of building a railroad that cm be operated but eight or nine months in the year. The next attempt that is made to avoid the great snow-belt, common sense would suggest ought to be made by a route south instead of north of that line. Inter- Ocvan. A Devil Worshiper. New Salem, Ind., has a devil worshiper, and is proud of him. Black Bill is his name and cobbling is his trade. He lives the life of a hermit, and never washes, shaves, or cuts his hair, which is very black. He is not handsome, but what he lacks in beauty he makes up in C'wty. He is tremendously pious, but elieves the religious basis of the whole world is wrong. He holds that men worship the wrong being, and that man would be happier and more successful if he were to offer up his devotions to and ask the aid of his Satanic majesty, instead of appealing to the Throne of Light. He pretends to believe that Satan is the true God of the world, and ought to have due respect paid to him as such. Black Bill lately tried to get up a Young Men's Devil's Association and start a prayer-meeting after his own creed, but the enterprise failed, and he is as yet the only acknowledged member of the sect of Devil Worshipers. Stanley's Livingstone hunt is being dramatized. .

English Killen for Preserving Fruit.

The London Garden gives the following aa the rules of the Royal Horticultural Society for the preservation of choice fruits. 1. As the flavor of fruit is so easily affected by heterogeneous odors, it i highly desirable that apple and pear rooms should be distinct. 2. The walls and the floor should be annually washed with a solution of quicklime. 3. The room should be perfectly dry, with as uniform a temperature aa practicable, and be well ventilated ; but there should not be a through draft. 4. Use the utmost care in gathering fruit, handling as little as possible. 5. For present use fruit should be well ripened, but for long keeping it is better, especially with Dears, that it should not have arrived at complete maturity. This point, however, reauires uoii m lerauie j uugmen i. ii i-m : ' b. No imperfect fruit should be stored with that which is sound, and all mora or less decayed specimens should be re moved. 7. If placed on shelves the fruit should not be more than two days gathered, and no straw should be used. N. Where especially clear and beauti ful specimens are wanted they may be packed carefully in dry bran, or in lay ers of perfectly dry cotton wool, either in closed boxes or in large sarden nota. Scentless sawdust will answer the same purposw, but pine sawdust is apt to com municate an unpleasant taste. y. With care, early apples may be kept until Christmas, while many kinds may be preserved in perfection to a second year. lhe rules given by American fruit growers agree very well with the above, out make especial mention that Iruitrooms for slow ripening should be neary dark, and the temperature low. Lnrht and heat hasten maturity, and next, of course, decomposition. Wheat ou New Ground. The Clay County News, savs the Iowa Homcttead, gives the following result of an experiment of E. C. Starks, of that county : Last fall he returned a portion of his breaking, setting his plow about an inch deeper than when the sod was first broken. Last snrine he sowed it n wheat, and harvested twentv-three bushels per acre. That which he did not re-plow was also sown in wheat, receiving equal care with the former, but when harvested, yielded but fourteen bushels per acre. A areat many contend that sod broken in the spring noma not De re plowed betöre it is sown in grain; but Mr. S.'s experif nee does uot sustain their theory. Farmers nouid make a note ot this and try the experiment, when they can spare the time. Value of Fallow Crops. At a recent agricultural meeting in Valenciennes, France, a triumphal arch was erected, bearing the following in scription : i ne growth ot wheat in t'ais district before the production of beet-root sugar was only 976,000 bushels ; the number of oxen was 700. Since the introduction of the sugar manufacture the growth of wheat has been 1,168,000 Dusneis, andtne number of oxen 11,000. Farm, Harden and Household. Corn is used for fuel in Guthrie coun ty, Kansas. Bread and cake should be kept in i tin box or stone jar. Cranberries will keep all winter in t firkin of water in a cellar. Oranoes and lemons keep best wrap ped in soft paper, and laid in a drawer, Tue corn crop this year is the largest ever gathered a billion and a half of bushels. To the abundance of our agricultura productions is added that of fuel. Our supply of peat will exceed that of Irel land one hundred and hlty times. An inquirer asks how to nrevent norses ironi cnewing their bridles. Mix bitter aloe in a solution of gum-arabic. Kub it on the part of the bridle that the horse is in the habit of chewing, and he win cease depredating. A down East doctor says in the Home stead that he never fails to cure grub in the head of sheep by pouring into the suflerer's ear once a day for one, two or three days, as the case may require, a teaspoonful of butter melted and mixed with same quantity of spirits of turpentine. Teoetheiir prescribes as follows for diarrhea in fowls : Five grains of powdered chalk, the same of rhubarb, and three of cayenne pepper ; if relaxation is not speedily checked, a grain of opium and one of powdered ipecacuanha may be given every live or six hours. A boo sweats, not like a horse or a man, but through his fore legs. There is a spot on each leg, just below the knee, in the form of a seive ; through this the sweat passes off, and it is necessary that this be kept epen. If it gets closed, as is sometimes the case, the hog will get sick. To cure him, simply open the pores. This is done by rubbing and washing with warm water. N. W. Farmer A German agricultural journal prints a plea for long futrows. The turning of the plow and the commencement of a new furrow require more exertion in the plowman and team than continued work on the straight line ; and how great may really be the loss of time from frequent interruptions in short turns may be shown ly the following calculations : Ina field 225 feet loua, five and and a half hours out of ten are used in re-directing the plow ; with a length of 575 feet, four hours are sufficient for the purpose; and when the plow can proceed without interruption for 800 feet, only one and a half hours of the daily working time are consumed.

A City Without Horses. In most of the cities of this country nearly all business has been at a standstill for want of horses to draw vehicles and to transport merchandise. But

there are great cities in China, and great commercial ones too, where carts. carriages and even beasts of burden are unknown. In Canton, China, which is larger than New York city, and whose trade extends to every part of the world, there are no beasts of burden, no carts, and no streets adapted to vehicles. People who ride, do so in little carriages or chairs drawn by Coolies. These men carry tea chests and boxes of merchandise on their heads from the great warehouses to the ships in the harbor. Four of them will carry a hogshead of sugar or a tierce of rice by means of poles lashed to the sides. Even large masses of granite for build ing purposes are carried by ten or a dozen Coolies, the weight resting on bamboo poles. All the loading and unloading of junks is done by Coolies with their poles. All the burdens of commerce are carried on the heads or backs of men, or on poles supported by the hands or shoulders. A Coolie can be hired for a less price than a horse or mule, and can be kept for a much less price. After years of practice they become exc edinaly streng and muscular. and the amount of weight they can bear is periectiy surprising. What Becomes of the Stag's Boms. A correspondent of Land and Water is ot tbe opinion that the stair horns an nually shed are eaten up bv the deer Sometimes they are found in the forests untouched, but generally they are par tially or almost entirely enawed awav " That hinds thus eat them is certain from the concurrent testimony of very many deerstalkers. I add mine, having - l . m very oiien seen it aone. 1 remember, on one occasion, when we were waiting for a particular stag in the herd, we were much bothered by a hind who came twice, at long intervals, to munch at a shed horn which lay 'twixt us and him. My deerstalker tells me he has never seen a stac eat a horn, but he believes they do both, because he has seen a stag eai me none oi a dead deer, and be cause he has often seen the hinds eat mg horns. He has shot a hind in the act of eating a horn. He had long watched her gnawing at it. She had repeatedly lifted it clear from the ground, and it was dangling from her mouth when he shot." The question here presented is an interesting one. ijet us nave an expression ot opinions on the subject from the hunters of America. Turf, Field and Farm. A Model Salutatory. Bill Arp closes his salutatory upon taking charge ot the Kome (Ga. thinmercial in this way : "We are goin to run a very peaceable machine very peace able. The great intrusts of our country commerce and trade, pig iron and pork, cotton and corn, the Fair and the fair sex, aksidente, buglaiies, sircusses and a little slander throwed in occasion ally as seasonin. Gentle reader, dost tnou love siander and Skandal, and du els and snake bites, and sich like? Dost thou sometimes glory in human misery? t f MS f t j i yea, we win reeu you on some sweet morsels.

We intend to caper and cater for the publik, the publik is a menagery, and the different beasts must be fed on different food. Uur Bill of fare is before you. If you like it, board with us, and pay as you go, and when you get tired quit." Appalling Scene. Last Sunday a calamity took place in this city that filled with horror the stoutest heart. The Democratic flag staff, near the City Hotel, beim? dis covered to he leaning from its base, it was conjectured that it was on the point of falling, and the City Trustees set about having it taken down. To this end they employed Nicholo Blacovich, of this city, to unship the topmast. He ascended by a rope to a distance of ninety feet the length of the mainmastwhen the pole fell with a tremendous crash, tearing away a corner of the hotel porch and shade trees in front. Nicholo was killed instantly. The disaster took place in the presence of a host of citisens men, women, and children many of whom turned away their faces from the awful scene. Deceased was a single man, and has a father living. The flag -staff w is rotten at the bane and eaten away by grubs. IXtolumne (Lat.) Independent. Horrible Vengeance on Germany. The Farisian cafe le Grand Baloon. near the Comic Opera, has long been famed among the Germsn residents of the French capital for the superior quality of its beer. The present proprietor of the cafe, a Frenchman, now advertises in the papers that he hhs "engaged Alsatian waiters, who are able to distinguish between an Austrian and a Prussian, and will therefore drive all tbe latter away by serving them with a very interior beverage." A correspondent who recently Raw King Victor Emanuel gives the following unpleasant picture : "His Mnie-tv was looking even more repulsively ugly than usual, his head nearly disappearing between his shoulders in conxequenoe of his increasing bulk, and his complexion, always dark, having become nearly black. His neck is now so i-hort from obesity that his enormous mustaches rest on each shoulder, and a perpetual scowl clouds hit face." Jerome Lorinq, of Chiconee. Maas.. raised this year at the rate Of 500 bushels of Early Rose potatoes to the sere. One bushel of seed was planted in hills, ridges, from six to twelve inches apart.

The wife of Jack Grant, Representative from Polk county in the Oregon Legislature, last year shot and trapped 358 squirrels. Dr. Pai'i, Schocpfe, recently acquitted of murder, after two or three years' imprisonment under the charge, is lecturing on "Science in Law." James Russell Lowell, whose picturesque management of verse is known and appreciated by all lovers of poetry, is wintering among the students of the Latin Quarter, in Paris. A colored woman in New Jersey is under arrest for trying to kill a neighbors baby by feeding it bent pins. An emetic was administered to the innocent, and all the pins came to the surface. Samuel Austin Alliuone, author of an enormous critical dictionary of au thors, making ä.iw pages, 40 indexes, and including 46 on lives, is secretary and editor of the American Sunday School Union. Col. Rice, x recluse, who, since the war, has been living in an old barge at Fortress Monroe, lately shot himself fatally. He was at one time a prominent citizen of Richmond, Va., and Colonel of the Black Horse Cavalry. The proof sheets of the remaining pages of Mr. Seward book are now being reoeived at Auburn. The binding of the edition will be rapidly pushed, and the book will be distributed for sale throughout the country during the holiday season. A Pittsburg n paper heads an oyster dealer's advertisement with "Reader, did you ever swallow a baby?" and goes on to say that if you never have done so you can realize the sensation of swallowing two infants by eating one of its advertiser's oysters. Mansard he of the roof was superintendent of public buildings in the reign of Louis XIV., of France. He was a wretched carjenter, but possessed the subtle gift of fl.tttery, and frequently fooled the astute monarch of France with impracticable architectural plans. People generally are not aware that Gen. Meade died a poor man. Fortunately, the fact of his poverty became known to a few wealthy gentlemen of Philadelphia a few days previous to his death, and $30,000 was immediately subscribed for his family, and it has been agreed to make the sum $100,000. T. Buchanan Read, who wasn't much of a poet himself, said of Tennyson : " He looks no more like a poet than does a lobster if compared with a gold fish. Angular, awkward, with great hands and feet, and coarse hair streaming away, he is not the man that a romantic lady would die for." The Stephen Pearl Andrews, who has been arrested with Mrs. Wood hull and Miss Claflin, in New York, was once a resident of Houston, Texas. He came here in 1859, we believe; but had not been a resident long until one day he was conducted to the wharf by a number of citizens, put aboard of a boat. and requested to make himself scarce in lexas at once, which he did. Hous ton Union. John P. Jones, the San Francisco operator in mines and politics, who has secured for himself the Nevada Senatorship, went out from Cleveland, Ohio, in 1849, in the bark Eureka, which ves sel made the voyage from that city, via the ot. Lawrence and around Cape Horn, to San Francisco. He is now considered one of the wealthiest, if not the wealthiest, of men on the Pacific boast his possessions having been esti mated as high as $10,0U0,O()O. On the Stock Ex:hange of San Francisco he occupies precisely the same position that Commodore vanderbilt does on Wall street. Haniba Disserted.

The wonderful cures of dyspepiis, billoutness, rheumetism, physical prostration and malarious fsvers which this rar specific lis s effected during the last twenty-two years, are the most coaclualvt answers that can be given to tbe enemies of mankind who offer volcanic cathartics as tonics, and to the mistaken beings who would refuse a medicinal ttin.uiant to a poor, broken-down Invalid, who Is literally dying by Inches for tbe want of judicious stimulation. Temperance, properly un derstood, countenances no such folly as this.
