Bzpr. - How the Radicals Reduce the DJit Mr. Dawes was one of the first to pert -trte the mysteries of Radical matnen ics, but he found them to be uuirily beyond the c vjaprehenFion of an honest, straightforward man whose aiitlUMticBj foundation was the good old "rule ol l!:rt-L." Mr. Wei !s went too fr into thecents' of Radical political economy, ami he was dropped with the readiness oi a hot potato, ard quie'ly thrust into an cl, -cure posilion, WBM9BOS he ha not bcrn permitted to escape on MBoant c: . danger to Ha-.' ical plans. Mr. Manhall hits combat-led the city of Radical economy, and opened up tne frauds, deception i, public sttals, and gigantic monopolies which it concealed. Mr. Brooks ramir.'. the new testifications which lhe Radical party had thrown around them in the sea e of pr tended reduction of the Ux-.t &nd he has swSBnd that they were s Lap!? for tue protection ol the New Eng:.-m inter. slj, and for the purpose of making war upon the prosperity of the rest of the country. One by ne have the Rauicai hsBacMM been exploded, and the Radical rwtedlM exposed, ia such a way that a reading and thinsbg public cannot longer Ins Ct. chived. Yet the Radical noliti-.ians dins tenaciously to their oM policy of hoodwinking the public, and rely upon bold deceptioi and br7:n assertions for continued f-uc-ces3. Of such a nature is the campaign made by Vict-Pret-iJent C(iiax in Jntli ana. This gentlesno m"de a speech &l Crown Point., Indiana, in whien he declared that the public debt hsd been reduced $ic,,K)O.0CO under Grant's Administration. He also attempted to prove, by a certain arithmetical process peculiar to biuii-elL that the assertion was true. Tne SiHt!s ics of Grant's Administration make a tliff--rent phowing. During tht lisci year of 18 88 9, the elebt, instead o! bein reduced, was actually increased t theexte-.t of 20,000,000, although Mr Boutw-jil did attempt to stow a reduction by a certain manipulation of figures iL which the Pacific KaifaKWd bonds, the acrued interest on ill other bonds, and the easn in t; : t;-.s jry wtre so arranged & to give eoler 10 Iiis claim. Such wa3 not the tact, however, and even the pretence was withdrawn when his annual re pott was transmitted to OoagHBIf, though the present method of preparing the monthly 'at einer. ts ol the national debt involves the same deceptive and rcprehensiblp practice. Bat, during the fiscal v car of 1!) 70,t:. deLt was relueed $112,000,000. In ofldes to obla n, then, the actual reduction of the debt ondef Grant's Adrnii istrtion, tha icreas; of $90,000,000 in iyi8-o must be deducted iron the decrease I $112.000000 in 1869-7). which leaves the net payaeai of fOi.COO.OOO. This talik a with other mear s of showing the aaiu reduction under the present Administration given atove. Now, the question is, did Mr. CoUa undersicnd the subject upon which he endeavored to enlighten the Crown P ;.nt people ? It is to be presum d ih ke did, an. J vet such a presumplon c : -vict? the Vice-Fre?ident of making h fctat mtnt tnat he knew to be falte. His effort was to make cspital for his party in 8h wirg that :he r duction of tte debt under Grant's Administrlion waggreat: I than tt. at ui.-Jtr J bnson's Adm riitri:tion. To thin end, he stated thf-.t the r.. ducti n Bndei Grant was flG.'.COO 01", when he knew, or cm hi to have known, that it was oniy tii.(iOO,CC0. The rjp has arxjut c -me when the people of this country ill demand iroia the Radi 1 n athemat cine somewLat Eoie ear !t . tu rate and honest fltirrinr Oifnaw Taxation and Monopolies. Tne general rule that consumers pay the tax WTK3 CWkJOflj under a system ol taxation which gives lo a class a m. noply of any branch of business. If our tar.fflad give to some balf dzen rollingmills m the country exclusive control of business of manufacturing Beseenur i rail", aud there is a demand for tLem tar i beyond the capacity of those mills to supply, the prices of the rails will n,L i; governed by competition, or the actual ! cost of production, but by the ability t- j extort extravagant prtcea from purchaser; j with which such legislation has invested the owaers of the six rolling-mills. If our tariff laws grant to a few rn around Onondaga Lake and Saginaw Bay ; advantages wüich give them control ot the salt maiketä of the country, the prise of a barn l ,f alt in any locality will not be fixed by the amount of tax raid r n It, added to the cost of production, but b. the necessities of pun I as. rand the gtt i of the monopolists. It was shown in the ; debates on the tariff bid last winter th i ; oar ratea of castoiiiT dvtlef in many iu stances grant mo lie in baportant branches of bMfcSMM to a comparatively -significant euilIh" of D:eu. Ih". wetga factories in Khode Itland, the man lot. csteei in teaaels, living near Syracuse, manufacturers of drugs, chemicals ar : dye-siuffaof ?arious kinds, were frtqueid 'y brought forward by the opponents f protection in Congress to point the mon.i to this fact. The man who obtains a pate nt for an i i vent ion of any kind, is given excluaiv control of the market forthat invention. I kt be one of practical utility, and one whi !i in economising lal r and facilitating pro duction wiil cheapen the cost of a usef .1 article several hundred per cent , ot su; ply a need long felt, the ewner ot t;. patent will not be OOt I with sur. 1 profltH. He will not say the ma er id o,t me dollars, tbe cost of Btkirf amounts to dollars, rents are dollar-, taxes are dollars, and mtcrett on the money invested in the business amonn It dollars. As he has a monopoly, thprice of his machine, or tbe ptivilegc ( f si i his invention, will be gauged by tie

advantages it offers to purchasers. Suppose F'.:a Howe had a patent which covered ail tae principles of construction ' be found in any of the sewing machines thp rountrv. what would such a

. onopoly bring in the market? Ab ut five years ago, wnen anotner enormous"hois was given to the r.tes of c istom8 duties, a special tax was laid on manuiacturers o" four and a half per ce.it. They profeved to be satisfied with thh arrangement, because the tariff shielded them against foreign competition. They would have charged just at much without the tax as with it, because the demand for their products at that time was ereatlv in excess of the supply, and the cost of production was not made the ba is ot calculation in determining what the prices of their goo 's and wares should be. In releasing the manufacturers from the lax, tho people at large were not enabled to buy goods chenper, and t!.e treattuj lost about 8J,000 000. We now understand how the r peal of the tax on sales will result in a great relief to tbe people, but they will not obftin rt-lief tr. m tiie repeal of a tax impse 1 on clas?es of monopoliets whose prices are adjusted, not by the laws oi supply and demand when the doors of competi ion are opei:, but by an authority which makes the pur.üc subject to them in the business under theif conttol. If our tariff laws bave not given manu tacturers a monopoly, very many leading Republican journalists and Congtes-.men have sadly misrepresented the operation of those laws. If the railroad e.u-pora-tiot s ot this country are not monopolies, i large maj rity of the people are mistaken on this point. If the National Baiiks bare not been granted special and cxclusiv privileges, men of both panic, in deaHrg with those institutions, and dismi ing the iiif aecce they exert on the ; :siccta and legislation of the country, :.r.7e been led into grave errors concerning the character and powers of the banks. Congress has repealed the tax on rcanuFactaiee. It -as taken off the special taxes en national banks and railroads. It tu rut down the income tax one-half, by whicn heavy capitalists wiil be most di rectly and greatly benefited, and now tne R-publicau press U baty in aliening that these diminuiions in taxation will release the whole body of the people from burdens equal to the extent of the loss ot revenue which will be occasioned by such action. This claim rests on the assumption that the corsumer 'a all cases pays the tax. The idea is tbat the tax enters into conrideratiOB wi n tne producer in determining the pri ies of his proaucts. So far a this idea is concerned, the rule will not apply to monopolists. Their prices are determined, not by cost of pioduction, including taxis, and exoenste of every descnption, but by tne reeetsiues oi purchasers, and tbe ability to control the market. Congress has taken burdens from the sboulders ot capitalists, and has not reduced those of poor ir.en and work-iugm'.-n. Ciic :go Times. DimotratJc (tuIus in Coanecllcnt.

Xlio 'orth Carollua Calamity. As evf rybody knows by this time, the ötate of North Carolina recently met with a Ireadiul calamity. Tne " loyal people' Vera defeated in the regular Ötate election, and the State psseed under the hlcody rule of the 4 Ku-klux." G n. Hob d n and that loyal patriot, Capt.

The bi'ody "Kuklux will not permit those things; and, in one word, venality, robbery, and tfcc business o: 41 outages have cased, and peace, good order, Uw, liberty and personal 8c urity reign in North Carolina to a greater degree than at any time since the war. The tiouth reeds a few more of these N'rth Carolina calamities. Nothing would brinsj such speedy relief to Bouih Carolina, Georgia, Florida, A'abima, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texar. nnd Iuisiana and we had almest said Missouri as the tter overthrow of that artificial and exic power called Radicalism, and a good wholesome "rebel" victory like that Which has visited North Carolina. The Republican theory has been that the government of these States could not be salt ly entrusted to the hands ot tLeir people, and, therefore, the power of the executive, the authority of Congress, and the bayonets oi the army have been harshly exer ed or Ave jears to keep 'he e vernmcnt out ( f the hands of their people, and give it to a horde of northern vagabond? and southern mgr oca. Bet '.c'ual expexience has proved thbt tlii theory hia been a falsehood and a erimc. Tennea'ce, Virrjrda ard Norih Carolina each in turn overthrew the ulo at" party and passed ic to tne nanus of their people; and the result is that Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina, each in turn, have be come abodes ot ?ra:.qudity and order. n e orgeat need of the Southern States, of tne Northern States, of the whole country, is a repetition of the North Carolina phenomenon the overthrow of despotic centralism, the re establishment of Republican government, the restoration of their ilgbts to the people, the arrest, of DOSTWption and vecahty, the extension to every citizen of tbe litartles that the Contention and the laws promise him, atid the condign punishment of those who havo violated this constitution and these !aws.-.V:..vi. , ; lH.

Human Flying, from Time Immemorial to the Year 1800. L Djtdalus and Icaru8 Every one

knows tne mythological ftb;eof the father and his son who flew so high that tbe sun melted the wax with which their leather wings were stuck together, and so they fell and were killed. There is no doubt that this fable has. a trtid basis in an experiment to fljr which had a fatal result, and was alter wres recorded by the ancient historians in their usual inCorrect and absurd mar n- r. 2. Abaris, a Scythian, ascended in the air on an arrow, supported and propelled with peculiar wiuge, moved by saechanism, accoiding to the historian Diodorua ot Sicily. 3 Strabo mentions that the Euprobates tried to acnd in the air, and "fill ed their wins tor that purpose with smoke" (healed air, gat?). 4. Archytas, geometrician of Tarentum, Greece, tried also to fly. It Is not mentioned by what means, but only that finally he bp'ke his neck in consequence. ,r 1147, a Turk, in Cembtantinople, at tempted to fly on tue occasion of the public lestival during the visit ol the Emperor Emmanuel to the Sultan Chisarthian, with a larie gown extending beyond bi arms and lesrs, probibly suirtfcsttd by the con struction ot bats' w;iis. lie sappofed that he would be able to detcend gently, reaching tbe ground several thousand feet irom the high building from which he started. He had announced this ex tensively. He moved his arms for a long time to and 1'ro before taking the leap and, when he did so, descended perpeu dicularly, and was instantly killed, being drcadiuilv mantlea. This is mentioned by the hidtorian Knolles. ti. Roger Bacon, the well known English monk ot the thirteenth century, made a machine in which erne coUid sit down, and by means ot wings, moved by the arms and legs, could fly like a bird, and su.Hiaiu one's sell for a short time. 7. Elmer, a monk of Malnn.4.bury, made, according to Muton, in Lis history of Gi eat Britain, Wints attached to his hands and tech and flew with them from the top of the Tower in London a d sUnce ot one-eighth of a mile. A Strong Wiim intended with his balance, and he cau-.e down rather raddenly and broke Loth lees. But he ascribed this failure still confident ot final succtäc in the art o flying to his neglcet in Laaking himi a tüii also, to serve as a ruuüer. W iiv,re with he intcLded to moYo the tail id nroblem. 8. G. B. Dante,mathematician in Perugia Italy, after having long practiced flying over tao fiiriace o the Llce 1 i' risi mene.in 14'i0, staned lrom the hi.:hest low er in theei v. and remained lloatin ' three hundred leet high, directing hi course t a determine Dornt.

Many ltahaup, frenchmen a G.r.naLB, encouraged by this, studied L.e subject at that time, and experimented extensively. "J. A mu-sician in Nuremberg fluw very dexterously aoout the year 14uö, bv mean ot two very large wings. An Italian named Buratini, bioutht tne secret ot their construction to France, but noboiv would ritk any money to realizj his plans. 10. Bolori, an Italian watchmaker ia Trojea, France, h'.U-t previ Ub y studying tne fliathl ef birda, i:iae.e WKga witn wh:ch he fl.w from I church spire three timet across dideient pait- ot t:;e Itivtrr S ine. A Strong v, ,nd, however, caused him to fall, notwithstanding hii utmost exertion arjainst it, and be wat- killed. 11. Reimer, a locksmith in Sibie, France, t iLr .1 llyinii machines for talo in lue ear lüCO. He ascended, with one of them, o the height ot one hundred feet, and came down solely. IS. Cook and Oliver, two Englishmen, at Malmeabtury, ascended, in lt.Gj, and, by means of wings attached to thj arms ..iiu legs, ke pt fl ating tor a considei jble time. aud cüuic down without accident. 13. Blmero do Nalmerio, a Spanish monk, about the Same tune, tried to fly in tue sime manner, and, at first, with good success, but afterward it co&t him his lde. 14. The Jesuit priest Lana projected, in 1070, an aerial vessel, supported by lour glohea, each of twenty-four teet diameter, and having a vacuum ieti da. The vessel w8 prov;ded with rna-ts and fails, 'ihis was. however, evidently absurd, and was, of course, never tried. The plan and model were all that ever appeared, a is often the case wish visionary Inventions. 15. I u the history 1 1 ths travels of the French Ambassador to the Court of Siam, in lrjo4, published ia l'ais a few ye,rs later, La mentioned a Hiariese pyrotechnist, who ascended on a colossal sky-rocket several hundred Wei high in the air, and then opened a large umbrella, with which he came down slowly. This is remarkable, proving that the usl e f parachutes vtaa known nearly two hundred yeare ag in Eastern Asia 16. D. Bchyf made, in 17-12, ia Ztsndam, Hollaud, a Hying fchip, called, " the rew post ard traveling machine but the new invention, 'die that t Lana (No. 14) was confined only to models, and drawings finely engraved on copper, and extensively published at the time', and repubUshed in 143 17. Don Francisco Gasman, of Lisbon, Portugal, made, in 174o, an eagle, on which he sat, and of which he movtd the wings. He flew with it across tbe River Tay, but the inquisition consi-Jered it sr ciry aud witchcraft, and he very wisely absconded secretly, in order to ccapo the rack and sUke. 18. Father GhUven, a Dominican monk, published, in 177-'), a wor t ntitled L'Art de Naviyeur d in les Air (The Art oi Navigating the Air), anil proposed a colossal aerial ship, of not less volume than 100,000.000,000 cubic feet, made of canvas. Accruing to a false reasoning, he supposed that the pressure of tbe "air would keep it up without any other apparatus, sdmply became it was open below. This, however, is another illusion.' 19. De s Forges, Abbe of Etampcs, tried, in 1772, to fly with wings similar to those of insects, and to descend in a gondola provided with a parachute, but not witu successlul result. 20. Bacuueville, in 1773, flew from the top of hhj house in Paris, Rue Malaquai, across the Hue de Saint Peres and the River Seine, but he fell on a sloop and was injured. 21. Dossier projected, in 1783, an aerial sloop, wiiich could be steered at will. It wan not, however, executed on a practical scale. 22. Murray, in Portsmouth, England, 1700, Bkade divera inter Otting e xperiinents in tlyiug, an l with the parachute ; but a blast of wind made him fall, and he died in c rsquenco of injuries ROeived. 23. Cahds, In Paris, in 1707, He f with wings attached to his shoulders, and which be moved by his arms and legs. He had besides, a large sail, expanded like l lady'slan. fcjoon, however, he made afiightful descent, but escaped almost miraculously with his life. W Iu the end of the eighteenth century, ! a revolution took place in ail attempts in the art oi filing by the iaventi n of the ! balloon, in 1783. In Encrland. C vvemlh.h I proved the p v d: ity ot asceuding on a emslJ experimental ecale, while in France, Montg ider, iu the same ear, demonstrated it pr o ic?il!y on a very Krge s ;al , without knowledge of Oavenduhs tx-i p rum nta, as is evhJcnflrorn the tuet thU he us d a very ditlerent principle, hot air, while Cuvendish uted hyelrcgcn gat. Fr.'paratlon ol Fire-Wood. Thk manner in which fire wo d 'or domestic purposes is prepared and mansjp d by a large portion of tho rur-l populal on. argues a great want of eoonomv, as well as stup:.d management H-erd wukig mothers, ar-d bo'ld-d female d mest.es often have their p&tience tried to t ie utmost by miserable fuel, iiojHbly prepared, Off by an ahuudauCo ot ti(e bent quality of lire wood providtd io Mi. h an unsuitable mannt r that It oann l be made J to burn ht all Hdisf actor lly. Ai d, fetra as it rnav appear, people wh arc in straightened circumUnce, ami who aim j to exercise rigid economy in all their af j fairs, seem to have no thought touching

economy in the proper preparation of firewood. A large number of families never know how convenient and economical a

wood-house or simply a wood-shed ia Their practice has always been to shelter heir luel witu a snow-bank in the winter, and beneath a thunder cloud at other seasous of the year. Cons:epuently, the music of the kitchen consists of the hietine and steaming of the consuming fuel, and the discordant symphonies ol the fretting and stw-wing domestics over unsatisfactory tires. A great many prudent fathers seem to hink that their duties are ended as soon as tno Ore-wood has been ilropped near the dwelling, vhere it is allowed to remain and Soak in the storms, and to mold and deteriorate in the dampness. Is it any wonder that scowls ami permanent corrugation di.-figure the laces ot our mothers aod lovinc wives, when strong men, luxuriating in their easy chairs, or reveling or dissipating with kindred spir its, spend more time thus than would be required to cut, and split, and pile, every stica cd a large wocd pile in a good woodhouse r We are all after a little more money just a little. Now then, here is an excel lent chance to save not only a few dtmes, but many dollars. One coid of good wood, cut and split fine and corded up beneath a shelter while the timber is yet green, after it has become eeasoned will iiirnibh more heat than two cords of the same kind of luel which is allowed to re main In the open air, exposed to alternate storms and tunshine. It a lamily without a wood house has bcea accustomed to consume twenty cords ol wood annually, worth say to per cord, they may, by prop eriy preparing ten cor. 8 in a wood house, six monthi belore the fuel 19 t ibe burned, save wood univalent to $50 ready money. More tnan this, contemplate the conveni ence and luxury of a quick, lasting and hot fire, when compared with the perplexl les incident to ihe incessant hissing and simmering of a noor ire ; and the stew ing and lring that must be endured be fore one can get the fire up to a baking heat. The truth is that tillers of the soil, and in ttict all persor.3 who labor out of doors, have wet days enough, when they cannot work in the field, to prepare every stick ot firewood in a proper manner for the st.)7e, and to pile it up beneath some kind ot a shed, where domestics will aiways have access to wood that will burn hk tinder. The main consideration in providing a wood-Louse is simolv a roof to carry oft the rain. A tinht weiod-house isamisera bte place to keep firewood,unl"ss it has been well seasoned txlore it is carried m. .Let the wood bo cut short and split fine while it is crcen, anu then be corded up in an airv wood house, before the sticks havt. lain long enough to be water soaked, and iu six months you will have a wood-pile tLat will dispel tne scowls f.nd corruga ti -p.s from the vexed brows e f patient cooks ifchnolryitt. Enterprise iu Farming. We are inclined to think, says Doctor True, tLat more farmers fil in being what they wiah to be, or in haviug wha they waut to have, through want of en terprise, th an the want of any other requisite. In industry and frugality there is j robably no c:ass that equals them. The money gained by honest toil in the field is sciuuen w-isted in tue wine cup or cam hling table. They work hard and long, and !C:upubusly save their earnings; still comparatively few 1 lc mc wealthy, and w.ih those L' tno wealth acquired is or din? ri!y the work cf a ltte-time. T :? comes, we think, chiefly from a lack cf enterprise from being orer-cau ti is a u entering into any branch o ire r-;- rations that has n t been thon nghly tried, tested and Jcc1 .red ssle i -e old aaee, "nothing Ventured, noth inghad," is exemplified in the lives of 99 or.t ot ever? hunored farmers. A certain degree of cautien is a good thing ; but it is quite as cad to have too much of it as too little. For every farmer v. ho loses by showing some enterprise in r .ising new crops, sowing new varieties ol teed, or in branching out into some DW line ed' farming, there are a hundred woo keep themselves poor by always run hing into the same old ruts.

I we take a cup of tea all the soluble part of it are in th-e blood in a very phort lime usually. If we take a glass of whisky or dirtv baer it is on the same rout ) tt trave with the t?a, and very impure blood make at times. To be sure, all hands go to work to get rid of it : the little ca pillar les of the skin go to emptying the liquids out ihr ugh the skin as last as they can, and it the weather is warm, they get alon pretty rapidly at their Wjrk. The lungs throw it out in our br- ath, in the shape of vapr, and the kidneys work awy as lively as they cai. then our food, when it is properly prepared by digestion, goes so far as it is soluble into the same current of the blood. If we eat suitable, nutritious fond, the products of it are all wanted to supp'y tbe waste to the tissues and the material is carried along to the points where it is wanted, and is then used. Further, when the smallest part of a muscle, or a nerve, or ol any part of the body is worn out, it must be removed, and it is taken In very small pieces and floated off in this samo stream of the blood to be still lurther changed, and it of use, it is used ; otherwise it linds its w;y out of the body. öo we can ace how the blood is continually changing, growing pure and impure. Not impure because some villainous utream of dark poison maintains its stay there, floating around to do what mischief it may, but impure because we have introduced the impurities to it through our stomachs or lungs ; impure, perhaps, beCiuise we have lilled it with the contents os some villainous bottle of somebody's dye stufl, which he claims will purify the blood. If we would have pure blood then, let us breathe pure air, eat pure food, and drink urs water. Household. Housework for Girls. It is the law rf God that no human being can have a tound, vigorous body, accomplish much physically, and erjoy long lite, without goed muscles. Though there is a variety of ways by which exercise may be obtained, yet domestic labor is best adapted to develop and strengthen tue whole system. Within a few cars much interest has been awakened upon the Rtbject of physical exercise, particularly as connected with schools and fcminarh'S of leariong. Besides the out-door exercises and games, calisthenics and gymnaetics have been introduced inside the Khoolrooni, anei are becoming a part of the regular exercises in m m v mstituti is. 'mis is an improvement in the n ;ht direction, and is good as far as it goes, but is entirely inadquate to meet muy me demands oi nature. NO kind of exercise for girls is so well calculated as household work to develop all the muscles of tbe body to do it in Cj.rly life, aud gradually, under circumstances favorable to health generally. The girl ami young woman must thus te train edjtar after year, otherwise she will never obtain that hardihood of constitution, that strength ef mmcle, that power ot endurance, or, in other words, that balance of temperamsmt so essentia) to good health and happiness in all the social and domestic rclatioua of life. ir.

USEFUL AND SUtf&ESTJYE.

Thb New England Farmer thinks the discussions among farmers at fairs, when properly conducted, as important as any branch of the occasion. Ekclish Potato Balls. Boil some 1, potatoes very dry, mash them as smoothly as possible, 6eason -well with salt and pepper, warm them with about an ounce ot butter to the pound and a few spoonuls ot good cream. Let them cool a lttle, roll them into balls, sprinkle over them some crushed vcrmacelli or maca roni and fry them a light brown. A. M. Garland, i the Wentem Rural, reiterates the opinion that farmers who sell their flocks ot sheep to butchers, or allow them to be decimated by m gleet or disease, act very foolishly. He thinks wool will soon bTing better prices, and that the demand for mutton is steadily increasing. He, however, doers not advise keeping large flocks in the States east of the Mississippi. It is said that clothing treated with tungstate of soda may be rendered nonlcUimmable. A concentrated neutral so lution ot this salt is diluted with about one third water, and then mixed with three per cent, of phosphate of soda. It is used in the royal laundries ot Lncland hven the lightest muBhns dipped in it and dried will not take hre or burn. Hecretakv Howard, of the Michigan Board ol Agriculture, in reviewing the cnaraciern-iics oi the season, in löoy, in Michigan, says the preat agricultural ks son to be learned from the season is the necessity of drainage. He thinks there are many thousands of acres on which the ihcreased value of the crop tüat might have been would have paid obtained in that year the whole expense of drainage. A barrel of fl mr weighs 19G pounds, a barrel of pork 200 pounds, a barrel ol rice GOO pounds, a keg of powder 25 pounds, a firkin of butter 56 pounds, a tub ot butter 84 pounds. The following are sold by weight per bushel : Wheat, beans and clover seed, 60 pounds ; corn, rye and fhxseed, 55 pounds ; buckwheat, 52 pounds ; barley, 48 pounds ; coarse salt, 85 pouuds. Cooking Oat Meal. Take one quart of water in a tin kettle, place it on the stove and put in a little salt. Stir in tlo wly two large tablespoonfuls of meal Let it simmer gently for half an hour, stirring frequently. It will thicken and grow whiter until the expiration of that time, when it is suffljiently done. Some mill can he added. If scalded mdk Is objected to, coid can be used after being brought to the table. A convenient method of preparing outdoor labels fur plants, capable ot resisting any weather, consists in first cut ting them out of smooth paste-board, and writing upon them whatever may be desired in ordinary ink. When this is dry they are immersed in Unseed-oil, or, what is still better, linseed oil vandth, until they arc completely permeated by the liquid ; after which they arc hung in the open air upon threads to dry. They become like iron, and resist wet for a long time, and are more durable than slips of metal. Exchange. Gkol,ooists say that building stone should be placed in a wall in the same relative position as that in which it whs taken out of the quarry. When the rock became solid from its primeval semi-fluid condition, gravity made the s'ratification take place in a horizontal direction. So, as wood in pavements is exposed with the end of the grain to the wear, the stune should be dressed m such a way that the edge of the grain may sustain the action of the elements. A writer in an English jooirnal suggests the use of ordinary sulphuric acid or oil of Titrlol aa an excellent ag nt lor the destruction of weeeh on lawns. The difficulty of eradicating such unsightly elements of the lawn ia well understood, since to do so satisfactorily requires the removal of a large amount of dirt, produc.ng a corresponding injury to the general appearance. By taking the &ciJ in question and allowing a few drops to fall into the crown of any obnoxious weeds, it will turn them brown ia an instant, and ultimately cause the death of the plant. Great care must of course be tken to prevent any of the acid from billing upon the skin or any articles of clothing. Pktrolei'M as Paint. We r. commend the use of petroleum to preserve wood not as a paint. Nothiug should be. rr ixed with it. The only point in applying it is to get as much oil on as the wood will absorb. We use it on imple ments, machines, wagons, carta, fences, buildings, shingle-roofs, pig troughs, etc , with great advantage. It will certainly do much to preserve wood from decaying, and iron from rusting. We buy it by the barrel, at from 25 to :0 cents per gallon, and use it freely on all wood-work exposed to the weather. It is not necessary to go into the details of its application. We would simply advice our readers to get a barrel and use it freely on plows, harrows, drills, cultivators, reapers, mowers, tedders, forks, rakes, sp-.des, shovels, h"er, axes, scythes, cradles, hen-coop-, dog kennels, hot bed frames, saehes, awdl bar rele, pails, pig troughs, plank floors, wheeluarrow8, gates, fences, wagons, carts, Flcighp, stone-boats, herse-powers, and sewing-machines. We have used it on all these and many similar tUnys, and think even log chains and crow bars would be none the worse for being rubbed over with it. American Agriculturist. tfaunring Land. In a recent number of the AffricuUvral Gazette this subject is discussed from a scientific stand point. The article con tains much valuable data which will be found useful, and we herewith reproduce the material portion of it : Prof. Play fair says that from every wheat growing farm of SCO acres, on the four-course system, there is removed every year, in the form of grain snd straw, more than 18,000 pounds of alkalies, about 9,000 pounds of salts of liir.c and magnesia, 39,000 pounds of silica, and nearly 21,000 pounds of phospates, the latter Minn found nearly altogether in the grain, and therefore almost all removed from the premises. Phosphate of lime, magnesia and soda and potash, and some other phospates are necessary for the formation of a great many seeds, and are found in considerable quantity, especially in those of the cereals; indeed, it has been often remarked, that the cereals, like domestic animals, naturally follow man in his migrations. The seeds of a'l kinds of grasses, beans, peas and lentils, also contain a large proportion of the phosphates. In applying bones to land for the purpose ot restoring the phosphates, the farmer must not expect to see any great improvement upon the next succeeding crop; if he wish them to have an immediate effect, he must mix with sulphuric acid and water ; but this diminishes the permanency of their action, and in some measure entails a loss, as the increased solubility of the mauurtt renders it liable to be washed awsy, beyond the sphere of the plant, by rains. Tho medium state between too great insolubility, and too great solubility of bones, is after bruising them. This gi;ts rid of the gelatine or glue with which they arc combined, and which dimininhcs their solubility if the soil be rmh In vegetable matter. According to Dr. Playfair, every farmer should keep an aecount of stock, with a debtor and creditor side, for each field; then in his crops he could tell how many pounds of potash, of phosphates, and ol migneaia, he had robbed the soil of by the growth of the plants, and let him give credit to the field in manure for these amounts of which he bad robbed it If he robs it only of potash, as in the case of turnips, why should he be at ths axi ense of giving it silica and various other ingredients? Let him give back the potnsh j there is no uso in giving a host ot other things to the soil ; let him give such BBSv nure as is necessary and useful to the plant, and not put in several other things which the plant does not require.

The Moon a Dead Star.

The Maine J urnal of Education has translated an article from the Cosmos, in which Stanislas Meunier gives some curious speculations with regard to the present physical condition of the moon. Hi3 theory is, and he has the support of eminent astronomers like Beer, Moedler and Arago, that the moon is a dead star. lie craws this inference from a singular appearance upon the surface, which is called "grooves" by the physicists. These grooves have parallel sides nearly a mile in width and from ten to one hundred and twenty miles in length. There are already ninety of them, and it is supposed that more are in process of formation. Reasoning from analogy, we must believe that at some period in the distant past the moon had an atmosphere and water, and also that on account of her inferior size ehe had cooled much more quickly than the earth. The water panetrating the crust has been absorbed as the decreacc of internal heat increased the thickness of the crust, until long before the cooling proees had reached the centre, the water had disappeared. The rocks then solidifying, as the hee.t supply eiiminished, contracted in a manner resembling the appearance of basalt, and produced the grooves into which the atmosphere settled. Hence comes the chaotic appearauce of the moon, with its immense mountains, volcanoes, and cratera. Some astronomers have detected an appearance of action in some of the volcanoes ; but the general opinion is that every vestige cf pbjsieal life has long sirce deprted from the surface of our sate lite. Tncs: theories are all very well when applied to our distant neighbor, the moon ; but we cannot sdmt our eyes to lhe startling fact that the earth is undergoing a similar process of transformation. Geologists place a close resemblance be tween the circles in the moon and the circies of granite and porphyry upon the eartn. 1 Ley have aso discovered evi deuces pi übte stratification amone the lunar mountains, while the vsleanic for mationi bear a discernable analogy to tno;c ot Tenerine and Faima. According to the new theory, the fol lowing is the process slowly taking pace on the earth surface; tor she, like her suDoruinate, is ra.:ualiy cooime. It is estimated that on-tiUhth of the original ocean h'-s been already abcorbed,and that when the crutt ot tbe ejirth has become one hundred miles in thickness every drop ot water will disappear. It is also estimated that the earth could easily absorb fif'.y cceass like those which now covers l-rgf portion of the surface. All the water at present on the earth constitutes only one twentr-foui thousandth part of its weight, ar;d once absorbed would become Insensible to chemical analysis. The watT being absorbed, the earth will crack open like the moon, and form simdar grooves Into which the atmosphere will sattle. Long before this era all life will have ceased. Whcher th' r"1 is any tiuth in the matter or not, we have no immediale cause of alarm, for the procftl will not advance enough to give the slightest record in the short space of a single life time. Accordiße; to the ejp rimeuts of Bischof, it will tHfce nine miliions of yenrs for the earth to cool down fifteen degrees. This loss Is almost im percept! ole, as the internal heat adds oniy a thirtieth of a degr-e to the temperature of the surface. rrovidence Journal. The Crjtal Springs (Miss.)
