Startes abemt Trappers. The following stories about trappers in the Far West axe told by a writer in All the Year Bound: "I found in Pnjjet Sound a last connecting link betwt n his day and ours, in the person of an old chief. What thoughts uinst hav been running through the mind of that old man as he glanced oyer the wonderful story of the seventy years which had come and tcone since John Vancouver sailed with his stately ship up Pnget Sound, I know not: tor the leathern countenances of the Indians, like dead men, tell no tale. The medals that Lewis and Clarke distributed among the Indians at the mouth of the Columbia river could still be sometimes seen in the Chinook lodges, though that tribe had lng disappeared, wi:h all the Columbia and Willamette tribe, from their old homes. "Old Aston Toyagers I sometimes came across. T!.e ,rn ot (l -t Pierre Dorion, whose t- . bi roic Indian moth er, after the inurUer oi his father, is so graphically portrayed by Irving, was my fellow-traveler fi r weeks together before I knew how historically interesting be was; and the grandson of one-eyed Conconaoly, cbiel of the Cl'incxiks, the marriage of whose daughter to the factor of Afltor is so amuseingly relate i. trmlg-l nide ly side with me for many a summers dar.

Snch men were almost univtrsally Ameriears; and though they were rot at all inimical to the female Indian, yet they invariably entertained implacable fend against some particular tribe. They had also their favorite tribe, against whom it was rank sedition to say a single word, '('rows kin be trusted,' an old fellow would say ronnd the camp, his month filled with tobacco; 'Snakes ain't no such 'count; but if ye wants to get the meanest pizen-bad lot of Injuns, just trap a fall down to the Washoe country, jnstf And afterward you would hear some other man givs exactly an opposite opinion. On closer observation yon would generally find that the landed tribe was the one whom he had lived longest among, to which his squaw belonged, of which was the easiest to strike a bargain with; for, generally speaking, these mountain men are a very unreasonable set wbrQ speaking on Indian matters. "Old 'Pegleg' Smith was so called, to distinguish him from the numerous Smiths of the West, on accomt of a wooden leg, which he had worn ever since anybody remembered him. Old Pegleg's day was over be "ore I knew him. rnd all I remember of aim was a garrulous old fellow in Sam Fraru-ioo. no way backward to 'take a drink' when he found any one willing to invite him. His adventures formed the subject matter of a book published some years ago; and it I recollect rightly, an article appear -d in out of the English magazines, about the same period. On one occasion old Pegleg came down to a frontier brandy port, and there in a few weeks not only spent all the ear ings of the past season, but had also run so far in debt that his fine white horse, which had been his companion for years, was placed in pawn in the trader's stables. It was in vain that Smith begged its release. Pleading proving rain, Pegleg tried to get possession of the stable-key. Ml that attempt also proved futile, until at last, all pacific methods failing, he resorted, as a last expedient, to force. Waiting until the trader was asleep, he hopped to the stable door, applied his loaded rifle to the key -hole, and in a crack blew the lock off. In another crack the trader, aroused by the noiae, was on the ground; but only just in time to see his debtor careering joyously, on the back of the white horse, over the prairie, waving his cap, and galloping at such a rate as to put pursuit oat of th- j ; :. A remarkalilet mac. bat one mach leas known, was Albert Pfeiffer. Like Carson, he was in the lrregnlar Meticun cavalry; ! indeed. h as nontenant colonel of the same regiment. He was a man of a very singular appearance. His red beard grew in patches, the intervening space appearing burned and discolored. This was owing to his having been poisoned by some of the Indians' arrow-poisons years lefore. He wore bine gnggk-s to shield his weak eyes; yet though they were weak, they were bright, clear snd quick His was almost jh.itiiy in its sii.-ns of suCering. and he waik-d stiff, with a cin, being fcarred wun nearly twenty wonnos, carrying won body some Indian souvenirs of bullets, and beang two fnhtfulmark wherean arrow had pierced directly through bis body, inst j i i . j c aat below the heart A native of Frisslund, he UaUiC K-F U1C u.ra . a-c , r au v. w j " ago, and during all that time served as an Indian pacificatoghter and trapper, or as a guide to passe in the mountains known only to himself and the Indiana An acJuaintance of mine used to n late an anecote of Pfeiffer. They had started on a tour together, and as they rode along, 'the colonel' gave him various directions how to behave in case they were attacked by In dians; finishing by saying, in his brckwn English: 'And now, don't orget, if me be woanded, you kill me at once, for I will not fall alive into dere infernai hands; dey torhire one horriWy. And if you be wounded, kill you, you Don't fail Y "I write of Albert Pfeiffer as he was four years ago. For all I know to the contrary he is still living; one of the last and the bra -est of the mountain men. "Another specimen of the mountain man waaan old Mlow whom I may call Seth aiili .Seth was ratheran intelligent man. and d aring onr rambles I used to be amused to hear his opinion on men and things, all of which he pronounced with the utmost confidence, though hid education an Car as book learning was concerned) was limited, and his range of observation equally ao.

A soldier had sold or bartered his carbine now and then; and, in fact, their accounts were in such a state that to present a report and to account for everything to the quartermaster general was impossible. At las they came to the Columbia river, and to a place where there was a good deal of dry timber. 'Are there any falls about here, Baillie?' the major asked. Oh, yes; the falls of the Columbia were not over a mile. Well, then,' the major thought. 'Weil build a raft; the road's pretty bad. On ihe raft was placed a broken wagon, a threelegged mule, five or six broken caribines, an empty cask, and a few more such valuables. The major wished to guide it along with ropes, and though Baillie assured him that the current was so strong that this was impracticable, he insisted. At last the men shouted that they could hold on no longer. Wall, then, let gof was the answer; and over the fall in a few minutes went the rail and its contents.

' 'The tall of beaver sounded the death-knell of the old free trapper. One day a pestilent fellow discovered silk to be a substitute for the nappicg of 'beaver hats,' and so beaver was 'quoted' at a reduced figure. That 'change announcement simple as it was, may be said to have echoed through the RovKy Mountain region, and to have destroyed a class of men who. with all their faults, were a manly and a mm rons race. Beaver tvs now fallen to about üve shillings per pound, and is hardly worth trapping, äfce business oi trapping nas fallen almost entirely into the hamts of half breeds and Indians, who pnraae it after their stolid and lazy fashion. A few trappers, like Baillie, stall pursue the business, more, however, from the old habit than for any real profit they derive from it. Most of them are scattered, or have taken up some of the employ m-. u's which the spread of the white set'ti ment has brought to their lodge doore. They leave become small traders, or store-keepers, lo.rmer on the borders of civilization, jot hangers-on of trading-potts, living on the memories of the past. The new impetus given to civilization will soon clear them off entirely, and the place which once knew them will know them no more." Mrls or the Period in Philadelphia.

"Won't you comer" "No, I won't," and so ßaying, Greeny started away, leaving the girls in a high state of glee. Greeny has doubtless by this time sent home by mail a full account a to how three Philadelphia girls wanted to marry him. Iron Ship-Building in the United Mat From tlie Iron aii-.i Mrcl Bulletin. It is conceded by the principal ship builders of this and other countries, that the age of wooden ships is passing away, and that herealter iron will be used almest exclusively in the construction of steamer and sailing vssels, paracaiurly those employed in ocean transit. At the present time, owing to various causes, iron ship building is confined to tue Clyde, Tyne and Mersey, England, and the business is now exceedingly active at those places, thousands of workmen being tully employed in constructing vessels tor all parts of the world. The report-, tlmt reaeh us of the activity of several branches of the iron business in England, caused by the heavy demand for plates. aLgle-iron, Sec, on the L part of ship builders, shounl lead us to ao ( all in our power to develop that branch of busmess withiu our own territory. There is no part of the world that promises betU r facilities for the constructs -u oi eselsof all kinds, iron, wooden and composite, than the vast stretch of coast lying between Nor - j folk, Vb., and Maine. Timber in vast ! quantities, and of the best qualities, is found here, while good iron can be made mi libitum. American shipbuilders, we presume, without an exception will admit that onr iron in vacrlv annerinr to TCnnlish iron for their purposes, while the tar-seeing nmnnff them acree that n reduction of th: dutv on iron will bv no means result to their advantage. A policy thut will cripple or clotte tiie world apon which they must rely lor their materials, can only result to their disadvantage. Nevertheless it seems absolutely necessary that the Governaaent should come at once to the aid of onr shipbuilders, in order that the business may not be driven irrevocably from our shore. It would appear that the necessary aid need he extended for a lew years onlv.

Aooi t limners. A gent'eman who is passing the winter in Washington thus discourses about dinners and social life at the natinual capital: "I can fancy that a man may live here (Washington) a luxurious and intellectual life on ten thousand dollars a year. He could bring about him the tlite of society ; foreign and domestic t.-tlcnt, and the clever of every profession; for it is a fact, whether admitted or not in the highest circles, .that no matter what amount of knowledge may be crowded into a man's brain, he cannot withstand a grod dinner. It conquers asperities, neutralizes prejudices, and lets in the mellowing snn of gcod fellowship, to make the diverse elements of onr nature harmonize with the spheres, and, of coarse, with himself. A Congressman that gives good dinners is almost sure to be returned; for, the fact that he does do it is strong evidence that he is in favor of good things, and may be trusted in matters connected with the good of the comiry. We apprehend that it .rill Lo found that this sort of man, though he may not be over-clever, is rarely asaailed; and if he is, be stands invincible in the midst of his social artillery. When he retires he is very likely to become the Governor of his State or an Ambassador. Such are some of the influence that elevate the character ot knives and torks. Knives and fcrfcl are very little talked about bat are, nevertheless, in everybody's mouth, and when skillfully managed they operate ao kindly upon the heart that the sternest natures re subdued. We have been, since George IV waa crowned, a willing captive to the influences with which they are connected. Congress has, and so has the world. In this matter of good dinners, it is not difficult to perceive that they come to resemble measurably a ' Congress of nations" in a nation's capital. Through the good things that go into the mouth, better things come out They influence diplomacy, and, among other things, they have frequently illustrated the most wicked intentions.

Heating Railroad Cars by Electricity A statement has been going tho rounds of the newspapers for some time tl at electricity has been applied successfully as a heating medium at the Hotel Dien hospital in Pari, and it is said the other large hospitals of that city will be warmed by it instead of coal. The Washington Republican says: "Of course we know nothing of the apparatus by which this result is accomplished in Paris, but we had the oppc oirity of w;t-ne-wing, on Wednesday last, at the Winter building, the experiments of Dr. Leigh Bi.rton in applying electrieity for warmiag railroad cars," which were entirely successful and satisfactory. The invention consists of a chain made up of alternate obi gtructions and free conductors, arranged comoactlv bv being reflexed in grooves.and the apparatus covered by a metalüp plate and placed in front of each se.t, in order that the feet of passengers may rest ou them. When a current of electricity is sent through these beaters it is obstructed by the intervening non conductors, of midl diameter, and ttie evolution of heat ihe result; and after the chain has become warm, the heat is radiated to the metallic plate. "Associated with the apparatus is ano ther, which is called a 'circuit changer, and byjneansof it a current of electricity of a given power may be sent through an almost unlimited number of circuits, and from the fact that the same current is sent through each cirouit at each revolution of the instrument, the same caloric effects are produced in each. It may explain this instrument more fully to compare it to a mabbob box. except that the points on it are arranged spirally, and instead of a musical sound a contact is effected. Now, by revolving this with great speed an almost continuous current is kept up in each circait The difficulties in the way of applying chemical electricity for heating purposes being thoroughly understood by the inventor, be proposes in this application of the invention to employ the magnetoelectnc machine, and the object of the experiments on Wednesday was to test the titnnss of this machine for the purpose. The army and navy departments having tendered Dr. Burton every facility for making these tests, the large magnet ma'hiue of the Smithsonian Institution was brought into requisition, .and the small steam engine m the basement ot tne Winder building employed to drive it. The numerous persons present were amazed at the power of the current produce'!, for with it twenty feet of No. 29 iron were rendered red-hot; and when it was applied to a single heater the platina connections were melted in a short time. Afterwards the enrrent was applied to several heaters connected together, and in a short time the heat was equally developed in each, thereby proving conclusively the equal distribution of the current Following this experiment the circuit changer was connected with several of the heaters, and it was found to do its work thoroughly. "The advantage of employing this method of warming railroad cars must be obvious. By connecting the magnet machine with the axle of the car & motive pover is obtained of scarcely any additional cost ; and regarding the entire feasibility of tuiproposition, the inventor is supported by the best scientific men in the country as well as by practical ratlr iad men. In case of having a train thrown from the track, instead of being roasted alive with red-hot stoves, the passengers escaping the perils of being crushed by the wreck of the car sland some chance ot escaping a horrible (U uth by burning. Upon the whole, the experiments were entirely satisfactory, and demonstrated clearly the entiro feasibility of employing electricity as a heating agent" Billiards In England The Largest Break on Record. The Bucks (England) Herald of March 1 says: On Friday evening the inhabitants of Aylesbury and its neighborhood were enabled to witness some of the most brilliant playing at this fashionable game that has ever been disalayed. Ibe occasion was a grand match between W. Cook, the champion of England, and W. Duf ton, instructor to the Prince of Wales, and took place m the Corn Exchange, which ws fitted esptciallv for the occasion. The seats were ainphitheatricaily arrauged, which enabled all present to witness the play advantageously. The game took place on a new table made by Messrs. Burroughs A Walts. The Dockets were 3i inches, the balls 2 1-6 inches, ajd the spot was 12 J inches irom the top cushion. There '.v ere aboat two hundred present to witness the entertainment. The match was remarkable for the wonderful break made by Cook, viz., 417, which is the largest ever made, and thin nprendid score included 137 of his favorite -pots, which he made very qaickly and with such certainty that it became almost monotonous to the unprofessional eye. The champion was recorded the winner by the large majority of 540, in an unfinished break. The champion resumed his play aud made forty-two more spots, but in at tempting another left the ball lingering on the edge of the pocket This last great break was made thus: A losing hazard off the red, followed by "potting" the red, making six and giving aim his pet stroke, froan which he plaved the unprecedented number of 137 spot's, making it the largest break on record, viz., 417. Both players were loudly cheered. ihe game occupied exactly one hour and forty minutes, which of itself will s for the fast play of the champion. A Young Lady's Hair Torn Out. From the Worcester Spy. A yonng lady by the name of Williams, employed in the hoop skirt factory of D. H. Fanning, met with an accident on Friday, by which she lost her front hair, and was injured about the head. She was down npon the floor, engaged in cleaning np around a revolving shaft, which runs under a table or bench, and a law hairs on the front of her head got entangled and wound np with the shaft, without her knowledge, until so muck of it had caught tnat she could not free herself, Her cries brought the other girls of the room to her aid, and while eomef them were engaged in trying to throw off the belt that turned the shaft, one. with quick thought as to what must be done, seized a knile and cut off the hair before it had torn the poor girl's scalp off though it had raised it up in an agly manner, and drawn her head so near that a set-screw struck her on the face at each revolution and out a bad gaah. She was taken to her home on Southbridge street and medical aid procured. An East Mxthod of Contraction. Cengrens should authorize the issue of legaltender notes similar to those put in circulation during the war, and to an extent equal to the greenbacks now in use say three hundred and fifty-six millions, having three yean to ran, at six per cent. These notes should be dated on the first of each month, aa issued, and paid out for all does of the government except coin obligations, until the entire quantity has been disposed of. They should be made convertible, at the end of two years, into ten-forty bonds at five per cent, principal and interest payable in coin greenbacks to an equal amount with the compound notes to be destroved each month until none are left This process would complete the work in three years. The result would be, that the new notes, being widely diffused by the disbursements of the Treasury, would fall into the hands of all classes of persons, and those disposed to hoard them wowld do so. Experience has shown us, in the ease of the former issue, that these notes would rapidly disapSear, and be finally converted into bonds. Contraction effected in this manner would be entirely voluntary on the part of the people, taking place only when they had a surplus of currency. Neither the government the banks, nor speculators could dictate, control, or influence the move-1 meat in any degree whatever. From (h e Cixdr Abroad, m the April number of JAppincott's Mogasme.

PLYMOUTH, MARSHALL CO

Death or Mr. Cuban t . Yerplanck. Mr. Galian C. Yerplanck, the well kaown author, politieao and philanthropist, died ! at his residence in Fourteenth street this i morning, in the eighty-fourth year of his age. Mr. Yerplanck was of an old Dntch fami ilv. and was born in this city in August, 1786. Before he was twelve years of age, ; he entered on a collegiate course of study I in Columbia College, wher he was graduated in 1801. He then studied law, rather as a science than as a business; acd, after I his admission to the bar, spent several years in travel in Europe. Upon his reI turn he entered into political life as a I skirmisher, and soon distinguished himi self by some pamphlets of temporary in- ! terest; bat still more by an address, bef-r i the Historical Society of New York, on "The Early European Friends of America, whioh was published in 1818. In in 1820 Mr. Yerplanck was a member of the state legislature; and was made chairman of the Committee on Education. A year later, he accepted the chair of the Lvidences of Christianity in the Theological SeuHnaryof the Protectant Episcopal church in this city; and in 1824 published the results of bis professional studies in a volume "Essays on the Nature and Uses of Um f .rious Evidences of Revealed Keligion," tie style of which was much admired. In the following year. Mr. Verplanck's work on contracts appeared. It is a curioas discussion on the verge between la and morals, and including many applications ot the principles of both ; under the title, "Essay oil the Doctrine ot Contracts, being an inquiry how contracts are affected, ih law and morals, by concealment error or inadequate price." In 1825 Mr. Yerplanck was elected to Congress from tVis city, aud held his seat for eight years. He identified himself with the principle of protecting the rights of authors by laws, and took a prominent part in promoting the copyright act of 1831. It wad, in a measure, as a recognition of his services in this respect that many literary I men joined in a ublic dinner to him at the close of the session of Congress. During bin Congressional service he bad leisure to pursue his own literary trstes; and in connection with Messrs. W. C. Bryant and It. C. Sands he published for three y ars an annual called ' The Talisman," containing prose and verse, which was afterwards republished under the title of "Miecwilauies. ' Mr. Yerplanck also published a collection of his own addresses in 1833. In 1844 Mr. Yerplanck began to publish in numbers an edition of rihakspeare, a revised text, with notes written under his supervision, which was completed three yiars later. In several minor literary labors, as a m imber for many years of the State Senate, and as the first president of the State Board of Commissioners of Emigration, his active miad found constant employment After his active life had in most respects ceasßd, he continued to aot us president of the Century Ciab, ot which he had been one of the founders, and in which he never ceased to take a lively interest Mr. Yerplanck was Yice-Chancellor of the University of the state, and ha held the office of Kegent for lorty one years, having succeeded Matthew Ciarkson, who had tilled the same place for forty years. In the death of Mr. Yerplanck the country has lost one of its moat accomplished scholars, one of its ablest writers, and one of its wisest statesmen. The greater part of his Hsl has been devoted in borne way, either as an author or as a legislator, or sa a put lie officer in an administrative capacity, to labors which contemplated the public good. His few public addresses are among the finest of their kind: his work on the Evidences of the Christian Religion is one of the ablest treatises which have appeared on that subject, and his book on the Doctrine of Contracts in at least creditable to his a ill as a reasoner, and to the value placed by him on a scrupulous aud hightoned integrity in matters ot trade. He was one of onr best prose writers, and, it he had addicted himself more sedulously to literal y pursuits, would have won for himself a distinguished name in the literature of his time. Although taking a decided part In politics, and several times it member of Congress and the state Senate, he never stooped to any of the arts by which nominations are obtained and elections carried. What public trust was girco him was simply a tribute to his acknoah dged merit. Although his manners were quite undemonstrative, his personal attachments were shown to be strong by the services which he quietly and ilently rendered to his friends. lie was siiK-cre and outspoken in his opinions, and never abstained lrom their full expression by nny fear of unpopularity. For more than half a century h- has been oae of the ornaments of the public and social life of New York, and we cannot but feel that. notwithstanding the great age to which his life was prolonged, with some infirmities in its latter stage, his removal is a loss not to be easily supplied. 2V. T. Post, IMk How MiU'li Mioultl Mothers be Doctors! The old adage, "every man to his trade," has a sharp value and something of the old Anglo-Saxon ring. Bot in the sub-division of labor, incident to civilization and refinement, every mother becomes a nurse. If not always practically, yet always theoretically, and though in some cases she may delegate the office to her husbanl, yet the supreme authority vests in her, and in an emergency "the captain takes the helm." If the mother is always nurse, she is also always more Of less the doctor. She decides whether the little one is sick, and at the moment prescribes rest and abstinence, "castor-oil and quietude," or her hot tea, or other favorite Mixture. Usually the mother is successful. Her intuitism, keen perception and ready adaptation of uif -us to ends, render her generally a safe adviser in these matters. Sometimes she is at fault-and her liability to error is precisely in the ratio of her want of information. Given a fair amount of knowledge, which many women attain ty sheer experience -a modicum of good common sense, and a li'tle magazine ot simple curatives and her success in keeping the little ones wel. almost surpasses com irehension. The question is not, shall mothers prescribe for their children. This they have done, and always will do. The only question is shall they do it intelligently, and with remedies that only cure and cannot harm, or ignorantly and oftentimes with cry crude and unsafe means. We re led to these remarks by seeine ne of Dr. Humphrey's admirable cases of Homöopathie Specifics for family use. There you have a drug shop and doctor Jp miniature. In a neat case are contained some twenty five or thirty vials of Homöopathie pellets, or specifics, each for a different morbid condition or disease, including all the more commou complainis to which . family are exposed, and with the same a awl little Manual of Directions, giving in every case the rymptoms of the disease or complaint, and the manner ol chosing and giving the remedy, diet, Ac., all of which is compressed within a short space, and given in language readily understood and free from technicality or obscurity. We do not see bow anything can well be more neat, compact, plain and simple, or better adapted to meet the end than this case. Humphrey1 Specifics have been so long before the nublic, and are in such general use, a . to have passed beyond the range of mere recommendation, and are undoubtedly meeting a generally acknowledged popular want SETTrNO Hens fob Eak. y Chickens. In setting hens for early ohickens care should bo taken that the eggs chosen have not been chilled. Choose a good sized hen and 176 her a small number of eggs than may e allowed in warn weather.

For a year and a half the city and countv have been building two wings t" the old Court Honse at a cos. rer $300,000. At a quarter aet one o'ci ck on Saturday afternoon ti e greater portion of ihe roof of the west wiu fell in, injuring eight workmen in the rooms below, twoof them "Cn-msly. At 4 p. m. a meeting of the Mayor, Common Council. Building Committee, and Board of Public Works was held, to investigate the cause of the accident, st which meeting Mr. Rose, the architect. a8r'ed the meeting that the roof of th other (east) wing was perfectly safe. Bnt at half-past eleven that night the east roof fell n with a crash that wsa heard half a mile, w! 1 h a mm' iling sound like thunder. A committee of in -estimation has been appointed to examine and report on the matter, and, strange to sy, fonr of this comnv'Mee are architects who have professionally endorsee" the work as safe alter examination, and sortie of thrse spoke contemptuously of indi ddualr and newspapers for suggesting fears that th' building was unsafe. One of these, tfter v. -trfying totbe supervising architect tiat there were ''no indications of instability in say part of the structure," added: "Trusting that von will hereafter treat ilem-nnthrrers for nety -.-xra vrUh the con'emptthey oVserpe, I remain . ilv yours, John M. Van Osdel." I name Mr. O. because not knowing his animus toward newspaper men, I have recently spoken of him as architect of one of the finest blocks of Chicago . Anotbi r architect concluded his certificate in thii wise: "I affiim that the building will stand a lasting mnnununt, pointing wth rn to the bare talsirleat'oiia uttered so rebetncntly by a few ovcr-zoalous. bigoted in1 1 1 a At a. ja s ! . m ii:vianiis, wno report mai 11 is in atuger or tailing, long after their remains lay mouldering in the dust and their names have passed into onli.ion." Two other professionals give -imiiar testimony, one of them declaring that he "couldn't see how the cracks in the interior wills (which had given rise to apprehension and criticism) could wer- any mjnrv to the building." He can now probably see hsw itrtorked. At least the public can. The loss is said to be $20,000. TSE (ILO COTTBT HOT7BS seems to have been endangered by the settling of the walls of the new wings, and a me ting of the judges and of the lawyers practicing in the courts in thia county has been called to determine whether it is safe to transact business hereafter in the old court house. rARWiMi now to insfbe ooon caope. As the season of seedii approaches the mut-t important cjuestion with farmers, is, how to make their fields produce the best crops at the leant expense. The diminishing yield per acre of cereals, roots and grar s, e n sequent on the exhaustion of the soil by confirmed cropping, has led all intelligent armers B0 the conviction that the only wav to lewtors their farms to their original fertility is to return to them, in some shape, the eie'its of which they have been deprived. Lvrv crop of wheat, or other grains, or grseees taken from the sod diminiahes its . PütivenesB because it takes from it por- - bf those elements esentisl to the growth and maturity of a perfect crop. And if this process is continued long enough, the soil becomes worn out and worthless. Many of the early settlers of the west, especially on prairie farms, thought the soli irjexhaustnble, and were in the habit of burning their traw, as a useless incumbrance. Manure waa not thought worth the trouble of carting te tho fields; for whv ahonld Ooil already rich enough be further enriched. But a few years experience of impoverished soil has tanght them the great law that the only way to make or keep the soil fertile is to return to it, in some form, the constituent elements drawn from it that they mnet give ba-'k to it hat they take from it. The chief exports of the west are the rereals, beef and pok, which rob the soil of phosphates and other elements necessary to th growth of goc-d rops. Wheat the leading crop is the nio-t exhauidive. Everv year the wheat belt it moving Westvird; Western New York, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsiu, Iowa and Btinnesota, each in turn presenting the same spectacle ot exhausted wheat fie!ds, the yield per acre diminishing to two-thirds, one-half, or one-third the original product, as the proceas of repeated cropping continues. Change, rest and rotation of crops will do something, but there is only one method of making worn ont or unproductive lande fertile, and that is to impart to the sod the element! essential to the vigoroos growth of plants. For yon can no more make a plant, than an animal grow without its appropriate food. There is oae source of mauurial supply greatly neglected by Western farmers--the bones and offal of animals. England (ends across the Atlantic and gathers up the bones of our animals and converts them into 1 bone dust to euricb her .fields. The East, i too, wiser in tins respect tban the West, draws largely npon this supply, and if the si r seven thousand tons of BADOhV RAW BONE SCPEB-PHOSPHATE manufactured yearly by the North-Western j Fertilizing Company of this city, from the bones and blood of the laughter-nouses the product of Western farmers the greater part I la shipped att, at a high price, ineluding j freight 1 most unnatural direction, when it is so much needed at home. Five hundred pounds of this Fhoephate is worth thirty loads of stable manure. A ton costing (4o equals 120 loads sad will suffice for ive or six aores, and will more than repay its awf the first year. I used a ton of it last year on an acre of grapes and five acres of wheat seeded to clover, and it wrought wonders. The wheat crop was oxcellent, the clover superb. The grape vines just set made a remarkablv vigorous growth. 1 also used 100 Ibe. on my garden of 20 square rods, an4 the product was so unusual aa to xcite the remarks of aU the neighbors. It is tne cneapesi leriuizer ior its intnasic 1 value, has a larger per cent, of ammenia, and its phosphate is a 1 derived from the bones f animals. ot a ton of it should go east. THB PB00BES3 o? CrVTLUATIOlC is shown not more by thequabty of the garments wo wear than by the style and material of the dishes from which we eat. Wealth and refinement create new uses and make new demands, and supply always follow demand. The improvements in convenience and comfort o:' household utensils, especially of those belonging to the culinary depart ment, aince my remembrance, is very great. An inspection of the leading wholesale crockery h us'-.- in Chicago would surprise one anacquainted with the extent and character of bis trade which keeps pace with the advancing prosperity of the country and would satisfy the most fastidious that there is no need of going olsewhere for elegant and coeüy war er ; that the rich and the or can here meet and be satisfied, andtbit while oormnon warts can be had in the greatest abundance at the lowest prices, the richest and most aristocratic oan here fiud a dish fit to set before a king. The song of the bist kblrds occurred to me while looking throng 1 the leading wholesale tote of Ira p. sown a oo., importer! and jobbers of crockery, glassware, lamps, and kerosene goods, at 107 Wabash avenue. Their new store of six stories ia filled with the largest stock of domestic and foreign goods of the latest styles and best qualities. As they import their own goods, customers can purchaee goods here in original packages. Their lamp department is very large. They have 250 different kinds of lamps, maroy of then , of the moat elegant patterns . With the sagacity and enterprise of young me by the class who have made Chicago believing' lu quick sales and small profit a, and in giving every purchaser his moneys worth, and determined to load in their line of goods, they offer the most desirable bargains to the trade of the Northwest. 1 BUPBBVISOB IK TBOCBLE.
