C. DOA5E, Publisbsr. - INDIANA. JASPEH. O lilt A Is I'A K A U II A VI I s. Incident and ActluVats. A woman In Shclburne, VtM works out her highway tax every year. --Mr. Mom Dupont, of Holyoke, Mass., anl twenty-three brothers, have lietween them 322 children. A Mr. Vcnis, of Hart ford, recently illustrated a transit of Venus, by falling from a third story window. An IndianapolU woman recently threw her chignon out of the window when returning from a picnic because It niade her head ache. Mr. Hathaway, of Temple, Me., is nincty-uine year old, and has smoked and chewed tobacco since she was a girl. An eighteen-year-old girl In Cincinnati has had six thousand photograph taken of her. Think of the number of negative from one so young! A clerk in a bookstore in Salem, Mass., having been asked for Goldsmith's Greece, replied indignantly that they did not keep hair oil. A wealthy, but infatuated woman, of Savannah, Ga., has paid over $1,000, at various time, to fortune-tellers , but her luck has never changed. A laily living near Green Ray undertook to kindle a tire with the aid of kerosene. Jler beauty hereafter will Iw know n through the medium of an old photograph. The Courier' Jvurnal vouches for the faci that a Kentucky widow was hanled to her husband's funeral the other day bv the eiiine mule that kicked the breath out of his body. A Mayoville (Ky.) paper alludes feelingly to a picnic, and expresses the hope that the pious young men who attend will on that occasion leave their revolvers and bow le knives at home. A DesMolnes woman gave her husband morphine to cure 1dm of chewing tobacco. A mourning costume is quite becoming to ner style of beauty. A St. Ixuis physician committed an a -an It upon a fellow who tied hU horse, attached to a load of cotlln, to a post be fore the doctor's door. The M. D. objected to such a mode of advertising. A bartf ted girl In Oliio, who lately walked ten miles to hire out to hoe corn, has marriM a widower worth $00,000. Here is a moral for girls anxious to marry. A three-year old St Louis girl thrust her head through the Iron pickets of her neighbor' fem-e the other day, to smell the rows. She was compelled to smell thm until some one helped her head out. A coinier.tious Pittsburgh man promised his wife theother day that he wouldn't drink a drop as long as he had a hair on his head. That very night lie had his head shaved smooth and then got drunk with a troud consciousness of having faithfully ept his promise. A constable in Virginia has suddenly lot both sight and hearing, 'and down there thev can't account for it. But It's a very common al!"ection.ln this latitude We've known half a dozen of them to 1H come suddenly blind and deaf; though we cul 1 generally guess the reason. To daughters of Mr. Galagher, of Cortland. 111., plowed and put in eighty acres of small grain this year. One did the plowing, while the other sowed the Train and harrowed It. Either would be as profitable a Gal-agher as a young farmer could wh et for a wife. A keg of birch beer exploded on a Jersey City fruit-stand, recently, doing ilamage to the amount of fifty dollars. We have known the wonderful power of birch from the time we were a boy, when a very small piece would often make, us explode. Miss Anne Clough, of Salem, Mass., had a severe tussel with a burglar that she found In the rtorn the other night. The fellaw got away from her only to be pursued by the plucky woman on the street w ith outcries for help, but aided by the darkness, he escaped. Another smart woman has recently come to the surface a Mrs. T. M. Boreland of Texas. This lady, who is now in St. Louis, Mo., owns about 1,000 head of cattle, and accompanied the herd all the way from the starting point to the latter city, doing at least two men's work in the way of driving and managing. Floral romance does not succeed in the South. Several sentimental girls of Athens, Ga., remembering the superstition that, by swallowing heartsease whole and expressing a wish, the wish Is gratitled, tried the experiment, and were made very 111. They now think that heart-ease should le called stomach-ache, to prevent the recurrence of such blunders. Tit re Is an amount of pathos In this little news paragraph from a Western paper, that could not be forced into a romance : " At present she is serving out a heavy fine at the workhouse, and, when not at work, stands Dear the door of the room where the d rues and medicines are kept, begging and pleading with theclerk to give her morphine morphine ; a drug for wluVh she Is willing to sacrifice all her nappimss In this world, and her hope in the life to come. The once bright-eyed, roy -cheeked country girl has tecome a miserable, wrctchd creature." The thriftiness of Mrs. Weller,whoe first husband's garments fortunately fitted the classic Tony, is equaled, if not surpassed, by that of a widow of Portland, In the canny State of Maine. Perceiving that her adored departed's silver cotlln-pUtowasly'-'K p.npraiy jn the way, and desiring very much a pairof handsome new gold-bowed spectacles, she Invited a passing pedJler to a barter of the same. Leaving the room for an Instant, she was shocked on returning to find that lovely collln-plate and the merchant alike gone. Her frantic grief was something too sacred to dwell upon. The po'ice, however, recovered the silver treasure, and her calmness, If not her happiness, Is restored. Scientific and Industrial. The experiment at Westvlllc, Conn., of a factory fr the extracting of oil from cotton waste has proved a decided success. "J this process old grimy, greasy rags

and wate cot ton are rendered jerfectly pure, odorless and merchantable.

It Is stated that the Introduction of glycerine Into holler Incrca-es the (solubility of the lime-salts, in certain case forming soluble compounds. When the lime-salts are precipitated In boilers thus treated, the fafts assume the form of gelatinous, non-adherent masses, and can therefore be more readily removed. The microscope of highest power Is an instrument of recent manufacture, which amplifies four thousand times with the lowest ocular. It is said to give sufficient light and good deiinitlon though Its working projHTties are as yet but little known. Perhaps, after all. the dream of proving the atom by occular demonstration Is destined, by and by, to be lultllled. The climate of any given region Is well known to dejend not on astronomical causes alone, but'alsotoa great extent on geograplilcal peculiarities. The proximity of the sea orof great mountain chains, the relations of oceanic and atmospheric currents, modify profoundly the temperature of a district, and may, moreover, render it cither rich with fertility or a barren waste. The right of Individuals to Issue scrip as a local circulating medium was recently considered In a case before the United States Court, at Jefferson City, Mo. The defendant, who Is a large employer at St. James, had paid his employes, "for the sake of convenience," in scrip, redeemable at his store upon presentation. '1 he suit was decided atrainst the r.efendant, and a tine of $100 was Imposed. Two llusslan ladies Misses Olga Stoff and Sophie Ilasse have been investigating the circulation of the spleen, by means of injection anil microscopic examination. Their researches were made, on the spleens of frogs, pigeons, rabbits, mice, rats, and various other animals, as well as of the human subject. Iron suiface lmy In gilded by the use of sodium-amalgam : the iron Is first rubbed with the vodium-amalgum, the surface of the Iron thus becoming amalgamated, a strong solution of chloride of gold Is then applied, and the whole heated until the mercury is volatilized ; the gold surface which remains may then be highly polished ; by a similar treatment with a silver or platinum solution, a surface of these metals may be obtained. Tripler's patented process for proventing rot in wooden pavements consists in saturating the wooden blocks with chloride of arsenic, or arsenic and chloride of sodium. The bottom planking and the sand between the blocks arc also to be saturated with the same material, which is antiseptic and preserves the pavement from decay. It seems to us that the remedy is wore than the disease. Think of arsenic dust as an addition to the ordinary pavement dirt, w herewith to till the mouths of citizens I The feebleness of growth and lack of vigor which mark the brief existence of most city trees, may possibly be due as suggested by a series of experiments lately tried in Berlin to the presence in the soil about their roots of street -gas, which has scaped from the pipes laid near them. In the experiments here alluded to. It was found that If only twenty-five cubic feet of gas a day te allowed to distribute itself over one hundred and forty-four fet of ground, having an average depth of four feet, the disastrous results of Its presence will soon fiecome evident In the death of all trees and shrubs, the rootlets of which penetrated the Infected soil. Moreover, It is stated that the firmer and closer the soil the more disastrous the result. Mr. Stall, who has lately conducted a series of experiments with a view to hastening the ripeningof fndts, announces that this resulc may be obtained by lessening the depth of the earth atout the roots of the fruit bearing trees. As an Instance, It is stated that the ripening of pears on an early tree was hastened by simply removing the earth for a circuit of fifteen feet about the roots, the soil being left the depth of but two or two and onehalf inches above the roots. The theory is, that, by thus almost exposing the roots, they receive more warmth from the sun, and these, by the frequent application of water, are more active in supplying the life-giving sap to the fruit above. Interesting as these results appear, we confess that we are hardly prepared to Indorse them, and yet the repetition of the experiment may so readily le accomplished that any Interested reader might with little difficulty aid toward the estab-li'-hment, or, if need be, the demolition of this new theory of growth. School and Cburrh. The first Christian school opened In Jerusalem was opened In 1S17 with nine members ; now there are five schools, with upwards of four hundred scholars. The Hev. J. It. McDougall, of Florence, has purchased, for $10,000, a suppressed Poman Catholic church and monastery for the use of Santa Croce schools and the Free Church of that city. Ucv. Dr. Stone recently delivered a sermon In San Francisco on the Chinese question, taking ground against exclusion and persecution. Kev. J. S. Willis, of Stamford, Conn., was the poet of the day at the late commencement of Dickinson. He Is reported to have won golden opinions. I!ev. Dr. Howard, late President of the Ohio University, is recruiting his shattered health In Santa Clara, Cal. Iiev. David Coyne, of the Presbytery of Marion, Ohio, has joined the Baptist church. Kev. W. W. Wllgus, a graduate of Union Seminary, at Chicago, has accepted a call from the Pine street Baptist church, St. Ixmls, Mo. Itev. Charles A. Hayden.of the Chicago Seminary, has accepted a call to the pastorate of the Baptist church, at Akron, O. The colored Baptist have organized a General Association for themselves. They are to meet in council In Paris, Ky., August II. Dickson College, Carlisle, Pa., In which Kev. Dr. Crooks, editor of the Mrthodit, was for some years a professor, has conferred on him the honorary degree of LL. D. Southeastern Nebraska, according to a correspondent, has only one self-supporting Baptist church, and very f. w pastors who devote themselves solely to the work of the ministry. The statistics of the Lexington (col

ored) Conference show the total membership to be 0,472, while the aggregate of Sunday-school scholars Js 2,107, or only about one-fourth of their membership. The Hev. William Specr, D. D., Secretary of the Presbyterian Hoard of Education, with the cordial approval of the Hoard, has gone to Europe for a few months of rest and recreation. Thirtv-slx vears airo the Baptists

numbereu 30,000 members In Kentucky. They now have fifty associations, 1,200 churches, 700 ministers, and 10,000 w hite and 30,000 colored members. Massachusetts has now 507 Congregational churches and N1.4UJ members therein. Last year 2,710 of these were added on profession of faith. These figures show a gain of four churches and 000 members during the year. Only ten of the congrcjrational ch urdus in Kansas are self-supporting. 1 wenty-two churches have wen organized the past year, averaging twelve members each; and sixteen of these have been supplied with ministers. l'ev. Dr. Thomas Pearson, Indian preacher and Interpreter at the Klamath agency, writes to the I'acifie Christian Adtocate concerning a revival at that place which has closed up nearly all the gambling and liquor saloons and crowded the church at every service. The liev. Joseph Parker, D. I)., of London, the author of " Ecce Deus," is coming to this country next month for a short visit. Dr. Parker Is a man of note among English Congregationalists, and he will have a warm welcome from his brethren In America. Uev. E. O. Forney, pastor of the Heformed Church of tin Ascension, Norristown. Pa., has suddenly gone over to the Honian Catholic Church. He Is the third astor of this church who has successlvey taken the samo step. The average salary of 61,000 Protestant clergymen In the United States has bi-en put down by one who has been gathering the facts at $700 jer annum, and while some receive an average of not over f ."jOO, about one-third do not receive :vm). The Episcopalians, in Chicago, are organizing the Chicago Church Guild, of which the Hishop Is president and the rectors of the several churches vice-presidents. Among other things the Society w ill aim to establish a thorough system of missionary visitation. The 12th, 13th and 14th of August pext, have been set apart by the Holy Father as Seclal days of intercession through the whole Church for her deliverance from her present alllictlons. The Litany of the Saints is the prayer enJoined, and a" plenary indulgence is granted to those who say it on all three days, and who, after making confession, go to Communion on the Feist of the Assumption, August 15. To those w ho say the Litany with this Intention on only one of these days ac indulgence of 6even years Is granted. An original letter from Francis Asbury, first Hishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, written to Dr. Martin Kuther, of New Orleans, has been found among the papers of the latter by hi daughter, and is published In the Mrthlit irvtrU ant. It is dated at Haltlmore, March 11, 110, ami speaks encouragingly of the Increase of membership (7.000) in the three Conferences of New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont the year previous. Himself and Hishop McKendree were then Ploughing the held together, though Asury was sixtv-live years old and McKendree fifty-three. Dr. W. Henry Warren, writing to the Christian Advocate of New York, concerning the moral condition of Home, Italy, says there are 305 churches in that city, one for every day in the year except leap year, and they have lavished on them the best efiorta of the best endowed natures. They have the grandest and holiest associations, are magnificent In themselves, are the hitrhest result of man's architectural ability, a single one of them costing twice as much as all the Methodist churches in the United States, and the most of them decorated with the best designs of artists that God dowered with wondrous ability. At there altars Is almost perpetual service, where priests, gorgeous in silk and gold. Intone mellifluous prayers; where tidy boys swing censers of jx-rfumes, and where rnaffniflet-nt voices chant anthems sacred for 2,000 years. Personal and Literary. The Human's Journal states that Christine Nilsson Is the daughter of an American mother and a Swedish father. Dr. Eliza Walker has tecn appointed house physician to the Hristol (England) Hospital lor women and children. Miss Harriet Fenimore Cooper, a daughter of the eminent novelist. Is writing a history of the Oneida Indians. The papers say that Jay Gould neither smokes, chews, drinks, nor swears. He only gambles. Good man I Mrs. Dunlway has announced ImtscII a candidate for the mayoralty of Portland, Oregon. Gen. Grant, on being asked, the other day, if he liked music, replied, " Yes, everything but chin music." Ills Interlocutor shut up. A woman Is keeper of a police station-house In Albany. Her name Is Hobbins, but she locks up robbers of every name and style. The President's daughter, Nellie, is at work on a summer toolc to be called "Sketches from Life at Iong Branch." " Kearsage" Is not, as many supjose, the Indian name for a mountain In New Hampshire. It Is a corruption of the name of an early white settler, Kiah Sargent. President Grant has appointed a Mr. Mantz as postmaster of Iadiesburg, Maryland. We should have thought that Ladiesburg, at least, would have been entitled to a postndstress. Mary Nichols, of the Patent Office, has been promoted to tha position of Third Assistant Examiner. This is high for a woman, but there were three other ladies equally willing and qualified for the post. Fame Is a delicate boon. When the New York Herald prints the name of longteliow, It explains in parenthesis whether It means the poet or the horse. The Boston Po$t fays that Professor Light made a Fourth of July balloon ascension, and at the height of two thousand feet drooped a chicken from his basket, which alighted unharmed.

" Most Northern " is suggested as a name for the child born to the w iie of Hans Christian, the Esquimaux, of the Polaris survivors, on tht floating i-fleld,

one hundred miles further north than any nauiLauon oi men is known to exist. It Is now said that the late Charles M. Harms' estate will not be worth more than $75,000, though it has been estimated ut three times that sum. That is hardly enough to satisfy all the relatives who have come to the surface since Harms' decease. Philadelphia Is not to be outdone In the matter of a transatlantic balloon trip, one Colonel iHsAhna being reported to purpose an aerial jaunt to Europe from that city ; and, like the Ephesians of old, the (Quaker citizens cry, "Great Is Dc Ahnal" The New Hampshire Daily Patriot has brought forward Gen. Wlnfield Scott Hancock, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. W, S. Groesbeek.of Ohio, as Its candidates for the Democratic nominations for President and Vice-President In 170. A Philadelphian asserts that Edwin Forrest was a continued believer In spiritualism, and that recent communications from the departed actor announce his entire satisfaction with the new sphere he has entered. Grace Greenwood Is reminded, by Judge Hunt's course In Mls Anthony's case, of tbe sermon of the colored brother on woman, the heads of which discourse were : Firstly What am woman ? S,condly What did she come from? Thirdly Who does she belong to ? Fourthly Inch way am she gwine tor ' Pho'be Couzlns, of St. Ixmis, paid her tax with this attachment to it: "Paid under protest. It Is in violation of the fundamental principle which says there shall be no taxation without representa tion." Mr. Smalley says Mark Twain Is at Edwards' Hotel, in Ixnidoii, with an Earl on one side of him and a Count on the other, and Disraeli under his feet. In the midst of these aristocratic surrouiulings he keeps his loyalty to Republican institutions, and hates a joke as much as ever. Foreign Items. A laboratory has been opened In Lon don for the use of ladies studying exierimental chemistry. Waterloo and New Orleans veterans In England support themselves on a Pen sion of one shilling a day. The Shah of Pergiaeats In the most handy way. and makes no bones about throwing things under the table. It Is proposed to call a little island near the Isle of Man the Isle of Woman. So the good cause progresses. The Queen has thanked the Lord Mayor of Ixmdon for the magnificent entertainment provided for the Shah ac Guildhall. English newspapers always speak deferentially of students of the Hoyal Military Academy, Woolwich, as "Gentlemen rWlets." Prince William of Wurtcmberg, and Princess Marie, eldest daughter of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussia, are betrothed. Tne National Union for the higher education of women in England, appears to have worked well during the year and a half of its existence. "The finest fleet In the world" rewived the Shah at Dover, and the English press went into ecstacles of many columns over hi supposed enjoyment of the sight. Dr. Ikke, the traveler and Biblical scholar, I ill in England, having been removed, while favorably disposed, from Nice, where he was attacked by his sickness. Sir Bartle Frere ate some objects In an African's hut which he took for mushrooms, but on the man's return, he told him they were the ears of his slain enemies. The girls who make artificial flowers In Paris are agitating for more wages . It appears that, by working fifteen hours a day, they only earn about forty cents. A tipsy worklngman. Edward Jones, recently bought a baby of Its mother for a iK-nny, near Manchester, England, anu has since been trying to induce some one to take it ofT his hands for a pound. The Cardinals have been Informed that any violation of the rules of the Papal election will arouse the German Empire to opposition, in so far as the results of an irregular Papal election afiect Germany. Testimony sets dead against the Claimant to the Tichbome estates, and there Is enongh to prove him a perjurer, but the mysterious ways of the law will probably require the trial to go on for months longer. The new treaty between Germany and Persia opens with the following piece of "hifalutin :" "In the name of the good an 1 all-charitable (iod! His Maiestr the (ierman Emperor on the one hand, and His Majesty, whose standard Is th sun, the holy. Illustrious, and gn at monarch, the absolute ruler and Emperor, the Emperor of all the States of Persia, on the other." At Moscow a lady, renowned for her beauty, ventured to call on the Shah with an enormous bouquet. The "Light of the World" accepted the floral present, examined the fair visitor carefully and leisurely for a considerable periol with his eye-glass, and then, probably overcome by admiration, turned his back upon her and retreated to his apartments, w ithout d. igning to utter even a royal monosyllable. How Much Win Keep a Horse! A horse weighing from 1,000 to 1,200 pounds will eat about six tons of hay, or its equivalent, in a year. And we suppose the real point to get at Is, whether one can keep Ids horse cheaper on some other rirodnct than hay. This Is an exceedingy ditlloult question to answer. It depends so much on circumstances. Three and a half ton j of corn stalks and two and a half tons of corn will keep a horse a year In fully as good condition as six tons of frood hay. We may estimate, aIo, that t will take three and a half tons of oat straw, and two and a half tons of oats, to kiH-p a horse a year. A bushel of oats weighs thirtv-two pounds, so that it will take over 155bushe' and three and a half tons of straw, to keep a horse a year. It would take atout two acres of good land to produce this amount.

The Spealf r'a Castlns; Tote The very remarkable vote In the British House of Commons, last week, on the subji-ct of arbitration, will excite the attention of the world. Mr. Klchard, member for Merthr-Tydvll, and Secretary of the Iondon Peace Society, moved that In the opinion of the House her Majesty's Government should communicate with foreign powers for the purpose of improving international law and with the view of establishing arbitration as a permanent resort for the settlement of differences between aations. Mr. Kichard In a speech In support ol his motion stated that he had received a large number of letters from America expressing sympathy with his proiMjsltlon. He proceeded to show that the danger cf war kept 4,000,000 of men armed annually In Euroe. rendering necessary a taxation of $2,000,000,000 and the payment of a yearly Interest on war debts of $750,000,(MK). In addition to this the value of labor withdrawn from Industry was estimated tobe $1,250,000,000. In Germany theconscription forced an emigration which was depopulating the country, and Kussla, France and Italy were financially crippled by the expenses of their enormous military establishments. Mr. Gladstone opposed the motion. He argued that it would defeat its own ob

ject, because the Continental nations held widely uinerent views on the subject. He asked the gentleman to withdraw the motion. Mr. Hichard declined to withdraw, and the House divided. The division resulted In a tie Its yeas to !s nays. The Speaker gave his casting vote in favor of the motion, which wa adopted. It Is very remarkable that on such a question the House, with nearly two hundred members present, should be equally divided. It U very rare that a tie vote Is had on any question. That it should occur on a question of such vast moment thl vry extrorllnHi, und we re joice that the Speaker was right on the question and gave his casting vote in favor of the great advance step of the age. This pleasure is dampened bv the unfortunate position assumed by Mr. Gladstone. We can find an excuse for him, but not justification. In the fact that the proposition might appear to be an indication of weakness and an apprehension of the results of war. As the head of the Government he may have thought It his dutv to resist the motion, while he Is quite willing to carry it Into practical eflect. Such a course Is not like Mr. Gladstone. He Is a man of courage, and ought to stand up boldly In favor of a proposition that commends itself to the judgment and conscience of the entire Christian world. Ix:t us hail the adoption of the resolution, by one vote, as the great evnt of the year, the first real, practical result of our Geneva Arbitration, and one vote more for the reign of peace on earth. A'. '. Obterver, Benefits of Thorough Cultivation. Th1 A England Farmer thus Slimg Up the benefits ol' hoeing. If the farmers of the West will, for hoeing, substitute cultivating with any of the more popular machines in use, it will apply equally well to the prairies as to the more laboriously cultivated sails of New England : Too ma'.iy persons who use the hoe suppose thru the chief benefit derived from it is to kill the weed. That certainly is an important work, and one greatly negh-ct-ed. Weeds are not only in tile way of cultivating the crops which we plant, but they rob them of much of the nutriment which they need. Hoeing, then. Is an essential service In respect to destroying the weeds. There are other advantages, however, which are quite commonly overlooked. Let U see: 1. The loosening of the soil In the operation of hoeing is beneficial to the plants ; as much as the destruction cf the weed:, or more so. 2. Moisture abounds In the atmosphere during the hottest months, and is absorbed and retained most abundantly by a soil which is in the most friable state. Prof. Schluber found that 1,00(1 grains of stiff clay absorbed In twenty-four hours only thirty-six grains of moisture from the air; whilst garden mold absorbed forty-live grains, and tine magnesia absorbed seven-ty-etx grains. J. 1 neii, again, pulverizing sou enaoies it better to retain the moisture absorbed. 4. The soil, in order to be healthy and active, must breathe. A light, porous soil admits the air and, thus It Is fed and greatly Invigorated by the atmosphere. 5. Tbe sun's rays heat a hard soil much quicker than a loose one, and the hotter the soil is, so much greater will be the evaporation from It. So that the hard soil Is deprived of its moisture much sooner than one of a loose texture. C. Therootsof plants can find their way through a moist, loose goil, In search of food, much better than they can through a hard dry soil. 7. The soil that has been plowed well, and then kept loose near the surface by the action of the hoe, will receive and hold the rain water that falls, while a hard soil will allow most of It to run oflf into the valleys and streams as it falls. Iet us hoe thoroughly all the season until the crops are ierfocted, and while engaged In work observe and discuss the benefits we may derive from It. Horticulture for Ladies. An able writer says It bas long been a matter of astonishment to me that in the present dearth of remunerative employ ment t r women, no one has yet tnougnt making them gardeners. Of course I do not mean women who are afraid of of soiling their hands or spoiling their complexions by being much in the open air. My suggestions are meant for those who look upon the duties of life seriously, and who, being compelled by circumstances to earn their dally subsistence, would find horticulture a remunerative and comparatively pleasant occupation. The want of scientific know ledge among working gardeners Is so great that in taking up the profession they might simply step into a gap now existing lietween the shining lights of Horticulture and Botany and the Ignorant obstinate workman who very often takes the name of, w ithout any knowledge of the duties of, a gardener.
