WamaT shall the farmer do on rainy dzys® A thrifty, farseeing farmer will have one or more {good sheds, where his tools, gear, etc., are secured from bad weather. A part of one mzy also house two or three cords of =ond, which can be sawed on rainy wazys. His grindstone should also be under shed, and on those days he can sharpen his tools, grease and rub Hhis harness, aml'manx?ther gthings pf iike character. Such foresight will save much valuable tamgq.s well as expense. If the time to do these things is taken from fair weather work, the farmer is sure to fall behind, and once he ralls a week behind with Isis farm work, he will find it impos=itile o get up again without employ-

To DestroY Bues—To. destroy bugs on squash and cucumber vines, dssolve a teaspoonful of saltpeter in a pailful of water; put one pint of this around each hill," shaping the «arth so that it will not spread much, ®nd the thing is'done. "Use more saltpeter if you can afford it, it is ‘good for vegetable but death to animallife. The bugs burrow .in the earth at night and fail to rise in the morning: It is also good to kill the ‘grub in peach trees, only use twice as much, say a gumt to each tree. There was not = vellow or blistered leaf on 12 or 15 trees to which it was applied last season. No danger of killing any vegetable with it; a concentrated solution applied to beans makes them grow

AN ANTIDOTE FOR PARIS GREEN.— As accideats will happen, even where great care is taken to prevent them, =nd children and other persons someiimes get poisoned with paris green, i 1 3s well to have an antidote on hand. ‘The antidote for this poison is dydrat«d sesguioxide of iron, which can be had at almost any druggist’s. If it cam mot be obtained, it may be prepared as follows: Dissolve copperas in hot water, keep warm, and add niIric acid uatil the solution becomes wellow; then pour in some ammonia water—eommon hartshorn—until. a Lrown precipitate falls to the bottom. Put this precipitate in' a bottle, tightIv corked. and keep it moist.. A few spoonfals of this is a perfect antidote for poisoning with par}s green or’ ar-

. Keer or Cows WHEN DRY.—It is the tdo common practice among dairymen fo give their cows while dry but scanty living. When a cow ceases to give milk or is dried up, any feed is censidered good enough for her. This is a great mistake, and the result is a diminished product of milk, both in guantity and quality, whep she does come in. There is 3 lar;é draft on the sjfrm to sustain the calf, while She cow is carrying it, and to keep the cow in good eondition then is as important ‘as when she is giving milk. It is the opinion of the best and most prosperous dairymen, that a dollar’s worth of food when the cow is dry is worth one dollar and a half’s worth - she comes in. An animal in xmdmon can not digest as much food as one in good condition. If the cow be poor when she comes in, she will not digest enough food to support the system and at the same time to make a large ;quantity’ of milk. The, practice of turning cows out on poor feed while dry, expecting to make up when they cgme jn by good feed, is a very uneconomical one, and will ot be followed by good and careful

SECBE#KJ;&Y SHERMAN has given grave offense to business yien by his efforts to withdraw sl§ ds2 greenbacks from circulation. The Washington business men, who are among the first to feel the inconvenience of this unjustifiable ' withdrawal of a most excellent eirculating medium, are especially bitter in their denuneiation of Sherman’s blunder. In this opposition they will be joined by publishers. of weekly newspapers, who are very partial to $2 greenbacks snugly enclosed in an envelope and mailed to their address. :

A WASHINGTON TELEGRAM states that the United States consul at Berlin, in view of the fact that from its superior quality. American leather, particularly sole leather, is gradually finding its way to Germany, and feeling convinced that, with proper.enterprise of our manufacturers, an extensive market can be ogenéd in Germany for our leather, and especially for our boot and shoe trade, submits for such disposition as shall be deemed best a. printed prospectus and papers relating to a special international exhibition for leather and the manufacture of leather, to-be held in that city from the Bth to the 29th day of September next.] The documents sets forth thé rules for, exhibitors, ~etc., and the consul thinks an observance of its provisions would be very beneficial to the American leather interests.

THE following, from the Indianapolis Journal, possesses more than ordinary merit as a'timely suggestion to the powers that be:. “Financially speaking the people of this country are in .the'condition of a strong ;man who, having fallen down, is prevented from getting up by the weight of packages which are strapped upon his back., Lighten the load and he can get up; increase or strap it tighter and he will only exhaust himself in vain efforts torise. 'The government might easily lighten. the financial burdens which the people are trying to carry by stopping for the present all pay-ments-on the principal of the national debt. Lettheinterestbe paid promptly, butlet the principal stand where it is for a few years. 'When business: and prosperity are restored, and when good times return, the payment of the national debt can be resumed, but there is no necessit} of continuing it at present. What the people want now is to get on their feet.” 1

HJW CERTAIN THINGS were dong in days gone by was thus narrated by Gov. Williams at the log.rolling near Danville, last Saturday:' The Governor said he wanted to tell a few things in his recollection that he feared wo’d not be believed without the indorsement of some.of theoctogenarians who sat behind him on the platform. Upon their promising to back him, he described a cornmeal sieve used in his boyhood days, made of deerskin stretched over an iron hoop, the holes being punched with the spindle" from the spinning wheel. - To his great de--lighé one of his aged auditors testified to having seen the same thing in use in the log cabin where he was brought up. The Governor told of the care taken by the girls of their shoes, ‘which were 80 rare and expensive as to be worn only on extra Occasions,_ and were very often carried nearly to church before being put on the feet, in order to save them as long as possible. Verily, times and customs have changed Wo'pdqrfuliy since that period.

WESTERN PAPERS generally, republican and democratic, “soft”.and “hard” alike; are \{igOrously assailing Secretary Sherman’s policy of reducing the volume of the greenback currency. The Indianapolis Journal, Senator Morton’s organ, is especially severe in its criticism of Sherman’s policy. = The Sentinel, as a matter of course, is not behind its neighbor in this particular. In its issue of Monday last it publishes an exceedingly bitter assault upon the Secretary of the Treasury. From it we extract the following: “There is no mistaking the drift of public sentiment in regard to 'the financial policy mapped out by Sherman. It is everywhere opposed, .and the popular denunciations are becoming moré emphatic every day. The people regard the situation with undisguised alarm. The present status of business affairs is tlie opposite of 'S‘a}:i_sfactory,, and the indications point to still more formidable embarra'ssmentsh_ " Bankers and Capitalists, whose whole being is not expressed in the one word “self,” men who are capable of ‘grasping the question of finance in its relations to all the business interests of the country, do not hesitate to condemn the course which Sherman proposes: to pursue, -and 'to express the conviction that every step now taken to bring about resumption on the first day of January, 1879, is fraught-with danger to the business interests of the country. They see that to the present depression and paralysis, new disasters ‘will be-added. Théey see in the ste?gy‘ ‘shrinkage of values more bankrupfcy, more idleness, poverty and crime. To these men, who are honest with themselves -and honest in their dealings with the people, the policy of Sherman -is something worse than a mistake—gomething more repugnant than a financial fantasy—it becomes in its ‘immediate effects and far-reaching re‘sults a crime-of huge proportions.”

Bk oy ¥ e 2 3, £ A The condition of France is deplorable, "It had the sympathy of every friend of republican government in the world, while coincidently these people were apprehensive of the ulti‘mate course of President MacMahon It was the old mistake of supposing that a great military chieftain deserved to be honored with a high civilian’s position and the Marshal with no civil fithess whatever, was chosen as chief magistrate. His views as a monarchist were known, {let confidence was had in him that he would ‘domo violence to the powerful sentiment of self-rule which prevailed in France. It had never been so prosperous as during this republic. The. freedom, the light,' the enthusiasm and the happiness of the people recreated France. The republic found France in the abyss of defeat. The republic redeemed it, The great leaders of the people, Thiers, Gambetta and Say reclaimed it. At their touch %‘[i'ance‘ leaped into life. The great war debt was not merely paid as the installments' fell due—they were anticipated; public credit rose and the finances were restored, industries revived, schools wWere extended, the army reorganized,and that great nation pressed forward again into the front of the line. Never was there seen such a revivification. MacMahon succeeded Thiers, the originator of the schemes to restore France. He was an old soldier of the empire, but he swore that he would be true to the republic. But ﬁpw he has declared for the monarchists, chosen a monarchical eabinet, and suspended the session of the assembly which represents the republic and three-fourths of its people. 'The republic may survive all the machinations that aim to destroy it, but the situation is well nigh desperate. -H untington Democrat. ]D E— " Who May Contract Marriage, - (From 'the Indianapolis Sentinel.) The late Legislature amended the law relating to marriage, and hereafter no ‘one nearer of kin than second 'ecousins can contract marriage in Indiana. The amended law /s as; foliaws: . % . e “Be it enacted by the Geaneral Assembly of the State of Indiana, That section first of the above entitied act be amended to read as follows: Section 1. That marriage-is declared to be a civil contract, into which males of \the age of 18 and females of the age of 16, not' nearer of kin than second cousins, and nof having a husband or wifeliving, dre capable of entering.” Statistics show that the marriage of persons . nearer of kin than second cousins i$ not conducive to the public weal. The issues of such marriages are often defective in -physical and mental health, and the Legislature in enacting the recent law did a wise and humane thing. A former Governor of Kentucky, in a message to the Législature of that State, presented an array of facts and figures upon this subject which were perfectly appalling. He showed that a very large percentage of thé inmates of the benevolent institutions. of that State were the children/of first cousins. He is confirmed in his assumption and deductions upon the evil effects of marriages between blood relations by the experience and observations of all who have made this subject a study. There are but few of our readers who can not recall some instance of weakness of body or imbecility of mind among their acquaintances who are the children of first cousins. =~ The rule is not invariable, for there are instances where the issues of parents bearing this relationship are healthy; but these instances are the exceptions, and not the rule itself. ‘ - New State House,

‘The Evansville' Courier and New Albany Ledger-Standard, we think,are allowing their ridiculous jealousy of Indianapolis to get the better of their sense of journalistic decency and discretion. They are just now abusing blue Jeans Williams because he did not appoint State House Commissioners to suit them. Mr. Williams received a great deal of abuse during the campaign and lived over it, and we have no doubt he will survive the present shower of mud from newspapers that ouglit to stand by him. Uncle Jimmw.y is nothing if not economical. He has been a model of economy all his life, and he is able to distinguish between true and false economy. He saw that the great State of Indiana needed a decent State House and he had the backbone to sign the bill providing for one. As long as Mr. Williams remains Governor we have no fear that the State will be swindled m the construction of the building. In the selection of Commissioners we have no doubt that he selected men he thought the «best qualified for the work, without reference to the corners of the State they came from, and we submit that the newspapers alluded to would act more becomingly if they would stop their fusilade until it turns.out that Mr. Williams has chosen incompetent and unworthy men.—Daviess Co.

) " Storm in Nebraska. OMAHA, June 7th— A terrific wind and rain stormr prevailed in this section last night. It came from the south-west. The damage was exten-/ sive throughout the city and country, but the particulars are unascertainable. The Congregational Church steeple of this city was blown down. At the barracks it is reported the stables are blown down, trees uprooted, and. chimneys and porches demolished.— The storm extended east into lowa, doing considerable -damage to telegraph lines. ° | : The storm on. last Thursday night blew down Floral hall and many other buildings at the fair ground. At Florence a large hotel was unroofed. In the cemet@ries many of the finest and largest monuments were thrown down. The damage in the city isjyery great. At Papili%n, Neb., nine miles south-west, many;buildings were damaged, among others the Episcopal chureh, which was unroofed.

GEORGE P. RoweELL & Co. deserve the best thanks of the advertising community for their efforts to prevent advertisers from being imposed on by unscrupulous publishers. Eyery honest publisher will also thank them for the aid they have afforded them in maintaining their competition for business by fair means, against the fraudulent practices of dishonest rivals.— Messrs. I{()well & Co., alone of Newspaper Directory publishers. have had the courage to undertake the ‘task of discriminating among the statements of newspapers, and to face the hostility which such a course was sure to excite among those who profited by misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the “crushing” articles that from time to time have been hurled at them, sometimes by parties who ought to have known better, they have persevered in their course, and they have had their reward. Their publication has taken the first place as the stand‘ard authority among American Newspaper Directories, and a reference book for every large advertiser and advertising ageney in this country.— Jersey City Journal, May 22,18717.

The Boston Advertiser characterizes the new Illinois law making silver coins a legal tender for all debts in ‘that State, a “strange piece of folly,” because at present’ the value of greenbazks measured in silver is as far above par as fis that of gold measured in greenbacks, and the.moment, there fore, that subsidiary silver coins are in excessive supply in any city or Stsge, it will pay to send them to Illinold, where the new law makes them equal to greenbacks. ° [hut the “new law” is not a law, having been vetoed by the Governor.] S !

- A RUMOR is current that secret preparations are going on in this country to fit out one of the most powerful and completely equipped armies for the liberation of Cuba ever organized. Gen. Sanguilly, a prominent officer of the Cuban patriots, has afrived in New York upon a mission of importaoce, ‘and it is said has met with unexpected success in making arrangements. The forces will sail shortly from a United States port and land on the island in three bodies each of 1,500 picked and trained men. A new Cuban cruiser of great speed and excellent appointments, under the control of picked ‘seamen, is to cruigé along the shores. and 1n case of interference of Spanish gunboats, clear the way- for the landing of the army.— While these preparations have. been going on, agents of the Cubans fhave received assurances from men of national reputation in both Houses .of Congress that if this attemovt is suecessful, Congress at its next session will recognize their independence.

THE WAY in which the papers engaged in robbing the cradle and the grave in the interests of the Frankenstein spectre party .of Mr. Hayes is, at least, ingenious. They ask a man if he is a Democrat, and if he.says, “Well, now,”—they say, “Are you a Republican?” He is naturally surprised and stammers, “Why, I”—but before he can get any further the corTespondent is on the run to telegraph that the new party. has obtained another adherent.

A BosToN letter says there are fully 2,200 vacant houses in that city at present, representing a total valuation of $11,782,700, In 1870 there were only 812 vacant houses, representing a valuation of $7,684,800. ' The number of vacant' houses this year is about the same .as last year. Real estate pays at. present, so far asidwelling houses are concerned, only' two or three per cent. tipon the investment; and there are hundreds of landlords who have not had a dollar of rent because the people could not pay their rent. Those figures .indicate that Boston is not exémpt from the depression which prevails to a greater or less extent throughout the counftry.
