She was just 628 hours en route, including stoppages, and landed the mails two and a half days ahead of time. A short time ago publicity was given to the fact that Wm. V. Taylor, of Whitehall,' N. Y., was to fall heir to $100,000 if he married within a year. Mr. Taylor has already received "over 300 letters from willing women ip various parts of the country. The Government of Honduras is making great efforts to develop the agricultural resources of the country . Cof-fee-planting has been vigorously carried on, and the Government . make free grants of larid to all persons desirous 6f undertaking the cultivation of coffee, of Sugar, or of cocoa, and give free transport of the necessary material and labor to the site of the grant. Besides these advantages, planters are exempt from military service, and all implements and materials necessary for the use or ftirmation of plantations are admitted into the country free of duty. Strangers are admitted to the same privileges as citizens of the Republic. The phrase of dining with Duke Humphrey—i. e. going dinnerless— originated thus: In the old St. Paul’s Cathedral, Londdn, was a huge and conspicuous monument of Sir John Beauchamp, buried in 1358. This, by a vulgar error,- came to be called the tomb of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, who was, in facf, buried at St. Al- , bans, where his magnificent shrine may yet be seen. The middle aisle of the Cathedral, or Paul’s Walk as it was called,_ was the most frequented public haunt in the town, and full of hungry loafers among the rest. .

“Billy ” Ballou, a noted California character frequently mentioned by Mark Twain in his “ Roughing It ,” died recently in the hospital at Seattle, Washington Temtory, aged about fifty. He was bom in New York State, was one of the early California pioneers, and had many ups end down in his mining experience. _ A few years later he was speculating in the City of Mexico, when he was again drawn northward by the Frazer River gold excitement, and5 in that region established “Ballon’s Express,” the first institution of the kind in that country. At one time lie Was employed as local editor on some Of the San Francisco journals. After the death of his wife, a most estimable lady, “ Billy ” took to drinking and abandoned all further efforts to advance in the world. It iskiown that divorce does not exist in France.

A Norwich man put up twelve bottles of qjder against the no-bcense jaw thig i season, and when he went down cellar to get a bottle for a friend, the other nignt, he found that five of them had burst, jle picked up a sound one and returned above stairs. He held the bottle at an angle of sixtv-two and onehalf degrees north latitude, between his knees, and cut the wires that girt the cork. There was a flash and a report, and the cork strnc, the northern brink of his wife’s left ear, while the entire pint of cider, making nearly as good time as the cork, struck the expectrnt friend full in the mouth. Never having accustomed himself to drinking cider in this way, that is, on the fly, he reminded the dejected pos- • sessor of the bottle, that he had been able to get only a smell of the liquor, and advised him to open another bot

Then he severed the cords in the presence of a small but highly appreciative and attentive audierce. The second maneuver, as far as getting the cider tint of the bottle and into the pitcher' was concerned, was a complete success, hut the idea that it plight refuse to stay there does not appear to have struck him half so forcibly as did' the cider, when, with unimpaired agility and strength, it shot forth and raited him from the bottom buttomoi his-vest to the tack part of his hair. About a thimble-full of the liquid remained in the bottom of the pitcher, and this was drank In solemn silence by the guests, wJjo pronounced it to be exceedingly good, but nervously muttered something about setting the children a bad example of extravagance and waste when the opening of a third bottle was" suggested.—Norwich {Conn.) Bulletin. Anecdote of Edwin Forrest. When Forrest was once upon a time about to appear in a prairie town for the first time, one of the members of the company that was to support bim made great capital out of lus personal acquaintance with the famous actor, failing not to inform every body who would listen to him that he had once,’in Keokuk or Kalamazoo—ask me not which—played logo to Mr_ Forrest’s Othello. When the great traf-edian arrived, the “ boys” gathered to witness, as they felicitously expressed it, the meeting “ net ween Jimmy and the old man” 3 V.. “How do yon do, Mr. Forrest,” said the whilom logo, swelling with a pardonable pride. The famous Othello did not even bestow a glance upon his questioner. “But, Mr. Forrest, I—perhaps I had better explain—that is—in Kalamazoo— I pkjjfed logo to your Othello." . The great actor wheeled about and transfixed him with his lightning glance. “Good God, sir! can I ever forget it? Poor Jimmy was never afterwards heard to boast of his acquaintance, pro

~ STUJ>Y OP SIBBERY. Whence “Material” la Derived-AGtaagt-ly Buitnoiii, [Prom the J ew York Com . Advertiser.] The neighlmrhood of tie Morgue,near the foot of Twenty-sixth Street, East River, is populous and busy. In the immediate vi cinity are Bellevue Hospital, the University Medics l College, and the Training School for Nurses, with a teeming population all around. From the College or Hospital to the Morgue is but a step, and just back of this latter, with its four inclined marble slabs behind a glass partition and ghastly array of photographs of the unknown dead, there may bo seen supported on piles, at the river’u edge, othei buildings, low, shabby frame structures, where dead bodies are awaiting transportation or final disposition. Occasionally the senses detect odors of a doubtful description, ch' oride of lime predominating. The surrounding paths are well worn, and. when the Medical Schools are not in session therj is a constant movement of young men, singly or in couples, some dressed in black, others in gray or brown. They are delighted with a “splendid subjectdead or alive. In the office of the Warden, close by, the visitor will find Mr O’Rourke, or his assistant, Mr. Fogarty, who have charge of a,ponderous “Register,’!some two feet square, lying on the desk, and which, though opened for the reception of names only four years ago—August 28,1874—tilready contains a record of BETtVEEJf 15,000. LND 20,000 dead persons who have passed through the charnel house for interment. A full description of eaeh is taken, particularly of the unknown dead, whose photograph is taken and whose personal effects or .other means of identification are carefully preserved. Clothing is retained one year and every facility given for the recovery of bodies. “ Shall I cut his hesid off?” asked a young doctor while we were taking these notes, Mr. Fogarty explain id that the subject had just died from disease and they were taking an autopsy. “ What shall 1 do with Mrs. Riley?” is the next similar interruption. “ Oh,” says Fogarty, “ lay her out.” Thus the grim procession moves on, day and night, the average of dead bodies “on hand” at f, time being “ten or fifteen.,” as remarked by the assistant in charge. “You see;” said he, “five to six thousand dead persons go through here every year, coming, as they do, fro-m All the hospitals in the city, where the deceased are without friends, being. sent;here for public burial, and we receive them from ever? part of =the country.” The law declares that unknown bodies shall be buried as “unknown.” Nor can the 1 rodies of convicts be disposed of for dissection, “ only those who are Iaa y\aai« 4a Ka Vdtc ia/1 n nd Vi o yfa via

friends.” These latter furnish “material,” according to professional vernacular, for the chartered medical schools of New York, and are apportioned among the various applicant!) through the Distributing Committee of the colleges. All others are taken to Potter’s Field, some fourteen miles distant, at the mouth of Long Island Sound, and within two or three miles of Fort S shuyler. “Then there must be something like a scramble for ‘material,’'” said the questioner. “Do yon always have: enough.to go round!” “ Oh no, if we had double the quantity it would ail be wf.nted, but ' the Distributing Committee see that there is. fair play.” ‘ , “ Don 't the rivers about the city furnish you with a good deal?” - “Pshaw! That’s good for nothing; it’s too much advanced in decomposition. Besides, few t odies are found in the rivers in cold WBather, because gits: don’t generate in them. You find bodies drowned in winter don’t-tum up.” cur oy thu puvsicia** explained that by the process of embalming—injecting arsenic, red lead,, and plaster „qJL Pans into the carotid ancl femoral arteries—be dies are saved from putrefaction and are preserved indefinitely. The disseeting-rooms are open only from October until May. He intimated that $5 is the ordinary cost of a body slipped for delivery anywhere. The only cost for local use is the charge for cartage. “In the country,” said he, “they are put*:ip a pickling-vat.” Students and young practitioners here in New York often jlub together when they are qualifying themselves in surgery, supplying themselves with material at joint expense and each taking such portion as he may require.” To dispose of the disjecta membra brings into requisition ths street ash-barrel, thus giving rise to occasional “ horrid discoveries” by gamins and rag-pick-ers. In like manner the attempt to sundry any portions of the human frame by exposing the same on the roofs of building’s leads not unfrequently to revelations of “profound mysteries” and supposed “ damnable crimes.” THE EXTENT OF DEALINGS in material for disscctioipmay be judged of from the fact that in New York we have something like 1,500 students all told attending the College of Physicians a ad Surgeors (medical department of Columbia College), the University and Eclectic schools, besides two others for women. Of the allopathic alone there t.re about 1,200. In nil not far from 500 will graduate this vear. -

The prominence gained by New York within the last few years compared with Philadelphia, as a i ssort for medical instruction, is owing in a large degree to the facilities for practice in surgery. rd an The hospitals paiticularly afforu_ arena for the disriple of Esculapius rarely equalled in this pespect. From the above it will be seen tlia.t the rece nt statements of Dr. Crow, who claimed to have been associated with Dr. Christian in the resurrection business, that'he war prepared to furnish bodies in medical colleges at $25 per capita, revealed nothing more nor less than an outrageous speculation. By the way, the Wardens at Bellevue Hospital in a conversation with his assistants the other day, expressed himself as firm in the belief that not more than two persons were engaged in the Stewart outrage. Bayard Taylor. Bayard Taylor, United States Minister to Germany, ii dead. A dispasab received day befon (yesterday stated that be was thought be der, but his disease (dropsy) was of a particularly severe type. Mr. Taylor went to Germany with the good wishes of all his countrymen, who were proud of his reputation as a w orld-wide traveler, author a,nd poet. He expected, through the facilities furnished him by his official position at Berlin, to complete the great work of his life, the Life and Times of Goethe. His z si; for German literature, Ids acquaintance with the language and people, i; sured the success of that work, whit h is now ent short by his death. There are few reading persons who do not remember Mr. Taylor’s fi rst book of travels, “Views-a-foot,” which he was enabled to produce, after extensive tra pel with limited means in Europe, through the kindness of his early friend, Hors ce Greeley. Bayard Taylor was born in Kennett Square, Chester County, Pennsylvania, Januaiy 11, 1825 At seventeen years of age he became an apprentice in a printing office in West Chester, and began writing veises for the press. Eds first volume of pt 1844, entitled “X “‘-from ^- enis was published in menu.” After his rein he edited a‘ Pennsylvftr

nil i, irom which place he went to New York and began hie literary career by contributing to the Literary World and New York Tribune, of which journal he became associate editor and part owner in 1319. He soon after commenced a ueriesi of foreign tours, and subsequently Tinted the Pacific coast, where he got the materials for his book “ £1 Dorado.” In 1861 he began his travels through Ejgrpt, Asia and China, and on his return in 1853 he published several books, reciting his adventures in those regions. H e has published many volumes of poems chief among which are “Rhymes of Travel,” “Poems of the Orient,” “The Poet’s Journal,” etc., One of Mr. Taylor’s most interesting fields of travel was through Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Lapland, and some of his m ost delightful sketches are found in his book, “ Summer and Winter Pictures of Sweden, Denmark andLapland.” His latest poem, “ Prince Deukalion,” is one of Mr. Taylor’j best productions in verse. Mr. Taylor was less successful as a novelist than as a poet; though his stor ies are graphic and entertaining. As a poet, however, he was most eloquent and melodious, as his.fine “ Centennial Ode,” and his exquisite lyric, “A Camp Scene in Front of Sebastopol,” illustrate. As a lecturer, too, he was very strong, always drawing large audiences and both entertaining and instructing them. In person Bayard Taylor was of a large, muscular frame, ruddy, rugged and bright; a most genial, affectionate man, who to know was to love. He and Thackeray became fast and famous friends from their first meeting, the. younger writer receiving as legacies from the elder his ink-pot and the swowi of Schiller, which the great English rt>mancist had considered one of his choicest treasures. The death of Bayard Taylor makes a deep gash in the literary and social circles of New York, and will be read with genuine sorrow by Americans all over the world. He was a man to be loyed as well as to be admired. His appointment to the German Mission was received by the country with enthusiasm. It is sad to think that, in the flush of activity, intellectual and physical, and, in the midst of so much hope and so many honors, he is thus suddenly taken away. He leaves a wife, whom he married in Germany, and a lovely daughter just budding into womanhood.—Louisville Courier-Journal. How Oysters are Fattened. Very few persons who feast on the large and toothsome oysters which are served up at the raw boxes of many of the oyster houses in this city have the remotest idea from what source the luscious bivalves are obtained or in what

manner tney are tattenea. The oyster obtained from Tangier Sound, Lynnhaven, and what is known as the Seaside oysters, are a rather small oyster, enclosed in an immense shell, their native element being salt water. These oysters, when dredged and brought to the Baltimore market, are sold to the packers and others at the rate of 60 cents a bushel. Recently a plan has been discovered by which these oysters can be not only fattened in a very short time, but their value enhanced at least 150 per cent. Two of the large oyster packing firms are now engaged in this business, and the manner of procedure is described as follows hy one who has watched the operation: When the oysters are unloaded from the.pungies they are transferred to scows over which a deck is built, and on which deck the oysters are placed. Each of the scows will carry a deck-load of about GOO bushels of oysters. The scows are then towed to a point in the Patapsco river near the Perry Bar bridge, where 'ilrewster is quite shallow. r„ The vacant space in the scow, between the deck and the bottom is filled with water by means of a valve and the scow is sunk. There she is left during two flood-tides, when the water is pumped from her by means of a small machine provided for the purpose, and the scows are then towed up to the city again. The change from the salt to the fresh water and the immersion of the oyster during these flood-tides, it is said, fattens them until what was at first but a comparatively insignificant oyster becomes a plump and luscious bivalve, filling its entire immense shell. After this operation the oysters which, as stated, cost originally about 60 cents a bushel, are placed on the market, aud readily command from $1 50 to $1 60 a bushel. Yesterday there were seven scow-loads of thedr^pysters immersed, and the firms engaged in ‘he business have twelve soBWs constantly* employed. The whole dperation is under the supervision of one man, who undertakes the fattening for a consideration of 10 cents a bushel, the firms furnishing all the appliances.—Baltimore News.

There will be three eclipses during 1879— two of the sun, and one of the moon; but they are of little Interest to dwellers in this region. Jan. 32, at Bix o’clock in the morning, the sun will be eclipsed. The phenomenon will be annular along a narrow.belt extending from east longitude 8J4 deg. and south latitude 27X deg., to 14IK deg. east of Washington and 1% deg. north. It will be visible as a partial eclipse to a distance of about 35 deg. on each side of that belt, the area including about twotwirds of South America and the southern bail of Africa. s July 19, at three o’clock in the morning, there will be another annular eclipse of the sun, the central line running from longitude 5<J4 east and latitude north, to 17534 east auu 23)4 south. It will be visible as a partial eclipse from a large part of the South AJi 'ntic Ocean, nearly the whole of Africa s: d Southern Europe and Asia. Dec. 28, at 10 o’clock in the morning, the moon will be eclipsed, being at the time below our horizon. TUB PLANETS. Yvlccm—It now is almost certain that within the orbit of Mercury there are two or more (lane’s. A transit of One of these may be expected to occur Sept. 18, but it may be too early in the day to be visible from Chieago. Mercury—Will at' - ” ' ' * attaiu his greatest elongations froni the sun as follows: West, rising before the sun; Jan. 16 (84 deg.); Mav 14 (38 deg.); Sept. 9 (18 deg.): D c. i& (23K deg.) East, setting after the sun; March 29 (19 leg.); July 27 (37 deg.); Nov. 20 (22 d< His conjunctions with the sun occur March 4, April 17, June IS, Aug. 13, Oct. 5, and Dec. 10. * ■ The most favorable time for seeing him will be iu the early evening of March 29. At that date Venus will be about 9 deg. further east than Mercury, and (nay serve as a directrix. Venus—Will be an evening star during more than eight months. Her superior conjunction occurring Dec. 5, 1S78, she will be nearly half an hour east of the sun at the opening of the year, a little to the west of Capricornus, and under the head stars of that constellation Jan. U. On the 83d of the month she is in conjunction with Jnpiter, passing 47 min. southward of that planet, near the tail of Capricorn. In the evening of March 3 she will be about 1)4 deg. north from 8aturn, both being nearly la line with the eastern side of the Square of Pegasus. April 15 she will pass just below the Pleiades, and ten days afterward be 6$4 deg. north from Aldebaran. She passes through the _it_it_at ,.t 1LT_

skirts the northern edge of the Beehive cluster June IS, is 1 deg.' north from Regains during the night of July 4, and in the afternoon of July 8 passes only 15 minutes north from Uranus. She attains her greatest elongation east, (45 deg. SB min.) the night of July 15. and her greatest brilliancy Aug. 19, and is very near the moon at noon of Aug. 20. Sbe is in inferior conjunction with the sun Sept 23, and thence becomes a morning star, rising before the sun during the remainder of the year, and attaining her greatest brilliancy Oct 30. Mart—Will not attract much attention from naked eye observers in 1879. From his conjunction with the sun last September (20) to his opposition Nov. 12, next, he is a morning star, rising before the sun; and, at the last-named date, his nearest approach, he will be some 46,000,000 miles from the earth. He will, however, be watched by astronomers in November with great interest His two mconE, discovered by Asaph Hall in 1877, will probably be visible only through a very few telescopes, including the one at Chicago; and the observations then made will enable astronomers to fix precisely the periods of revolution of the satellites, and thence to correct, the present estimate of the planet Mars— about one part in 3,(195,300, that of the sun being taken as the unit. In January, Mars will pass through Scorpio, in FehfUarv sod Marcbjtbrough Sagittarius and $?apricorn\ ha threugh through Pisces, in August throng!) Aries; he will be nearly' stationary, not far from the Pleiades, in September and October. He will then retrogade into Aries till Dec. 18, and then turn, direct. May 9 be will be less than oie degree south from Jupiter; and June 30, at lh. 36m. p. m., only one minute of arc north from Saturn. „These two planets will be very nearly in conjunction during the night preceding and that following this date. In the morning of Nov. 19 he'will pass only *12 minutes of arc north of No. 53 in Aries; and in the evening of Nov. 29 will be only 1 minute of arc south from Rho prime in the same constle.ation. Mars will be near the memn In the evenings of Sept 6, Oct 4, Oct 30, Nov. 26 and Dec. 23; from which date the casual observer may learn to recognize him among the stars. Jvpiter—Will be in conjunction with the suu Feb. 7, and in opposition Aug. 31. Hence he will not be an object of interest to those who only study the evening sky, till the latter part of the jear. During the autnmn months be will be conspicuous in the constellation Aquaries, about 10 deg. south from the five stars known as the Urn, or the ►< This Slanet is now nearing bis conjunction with atnrn, which will occur in the last half of April, 1881; both being in conjunction with the sun, as seen from the earth. Nov. 20 Jupiter will pass 19 minutes of arc south of Sigma in Aquaries; the apparent distance between the two being only about two diameters of Jupiter. Saturn—At the beginning of the year will be abont 5 hours east from the sun, andbelow the well-known Square of Pegasus, near which he meets Venus, In the evening of March 2. His conjunction with the sun occurs March 26, and his opposition Oct. 5, when he will be in the constellation Pisces. The last, three months of the year he will be visible evenings to the naked eye a; a star of the first magnitude, and will be a very interesting object through the telescope. His rings were completely closed up last March. They are now widening out The ratio of the apparent axes Jan. 1 will be 1 to 25 nearly, and the 1st of August s bout as 2 to 11. We are now looking at the southern side of the rincr system <I

Saturn, when we see this phenomenon. Astronomers will not again seethe northern face,, of the rings of Saturn till early in the year 3S93, when they will have a good opportunity to observe the change, as the planet will then be about 90 degrees away from the sun. Uranm—Will be in opposition to the sun Feb. 20, and may be seen about that date, and for a couple of months afterward, with the unaided eye, bv those who know where to :ook for him. He shines as a star of the sixth magnitude only. He may easily be found as follows: Take as a starting-point the weDknown star Regulus. of the lj^th magnitude, in the handle of the sickle of Leo. From that star, deg. eastward, in line toward Spies, is Rho Leonis, of the fourth magnitude—easily picked up, because there are no other stars near it. At the beginning of March Uranus will be 3 deg. nearly northwest from Rho; and at the end of the month a little more than 4 deg. northwest by west from the same star. These two distances £re respectively equal to about 5>£ and eight times the apparent breadth of the full moon. „ Neptune—Will be in opposition to the snn Nov. 3, at which time his right ascension will be 3 hours 85^ min., and his declination 13 deg. 16J£ min. north; not near any prominent star, but very close to an interesting nebula. He cannot be seen without the aid of a good telescope. • Occupations—A few of these phenomena will be of interest during the coming year. We give the following notes of prominent stars, the arpulses to which may be watched with Interest through an opera-glass: April 1U, In the early morning, the moon being three days past the full, and a little east of the meridian, will pass Just south of Antares. June 3, about ten o'clock, wty;n east of the meridian, and near the full, the moon will occult Antares. Aug. 24, the moon in the west, and near her first quarter, will occult Antares about halfpast uine in the evening. Sept ?, at two o’clock in the morning, the moon being near her last quarter, will pass through the Pleiades, and occult Alcyone near Urn time of her rising. Not. 90, about midnight, the moon being near the fnll, and one hour west of the meridian, will ocenlt Epeilon Arietls. Dec. 1, at eleven o’clock in the evening, the moon being eaat of the meridian, and a little past the full, will occult Delta Geminoram.— Chieajo Tribune.

Bomanee of Old Bon. Mason. When Indianapolis sat down to its breakfast and its newspapers on Sunlay last, it ottered a concerted exc lamaaon as it read that “ Old B6n. Mswon” had gone to the poor-house. Indianapolis held its breath; it was unable to put its astonishment into words. “Poor old Ben. Mason!" was all it could say. After the first shock of surprise every body glanced over Mr. Mason's life, as tar as possible, to see what chain of illfortnne had bronght him to a pauper’s home. He had been a citizen of Indianapolis most of the time since the beginning of the war. He kept hotel, here, and made a fortune at it. He embarked in other enterprises! with success. He went inta.the real estate speculation when the whole town 5 was reabestate crazy. He was worth $75,000 when he left the Sherman House in 1866, which he had conducted for several years. In 1871 he went into the speculations which impoverished him. He is sixty-six years old, and, by his own request, was taken to the poorhouse last week. 3 There never was a sermon preached that had the force of this unadorned story of real life. Ho romance woven by the master mind of fiction ever was so full of aetnal pathos. The stage has presented no drama that appealed so powerfully to the sympathies of the peoplev of this city. Ben. Mason, once prosperons, prodigal and generous, now old, friendless and homeless—the door of the poor-house the only one that is open to him. There is a lesson in this history of prosperity, so quickly followed by hopeless adversity. His own words were: “ For forty years I have lived* on the fat of the land. I have lived high and denied myself nothing. The best was none too good.’’. Perhaps if Mr Mason had practiced a little self-denial during his forty years of plenty, the humiliation of going “over the hill to the poorhouse", might have been spared him. He admits that by economy he might have saved more "money, but thinks it would have gone, like the rest, :\n bad investments. This is fallacious reasoning. It need not have gone in bad investments, if the sound judgment had been exercised that should have been. The evil day comes to all if prudence does not prevail against it. W hoever involves his whole capital in speculation when he is no longer young and able to retrieve a possible misfortune invites disaster, and marks out the road to a pauper’s gfave, over which ha must surely travel if not saved from it by private charity. Prudence in financial matters'has become much too rare a virtue. 'Every body can not live on the fat of the land and deny themselves nothing, and yet be untouched by the legitimate vicissitudes of business and _ J •____a. I_ »_ _12

w*»v U41 IAX 1VOUIIAJ VA HUVU VJ TT gality. “ This is a world of ups and downs, and we are all creatures of circumstances at best,” said Mr. Mason. There is a foundation of truth and a great deal of sophistry in that statement. Every man is to a~great extent the architect of his own J&rtune. Persons who in the long course of a prosperous life deny themselves nothing are likely to see the day, as Mr. Mason has, when they will be denied something by others. We do not say this as a reproach to Mr. Mason, but that his fate may be a lesson to others to provide as well as they can against the day of adversity. The rainy day has set in for him even earlier than usual. Sixty-six is not an advanced age for any man. Under happier circumstances he might look forward to many peaceful and contented years yet. As it is, he rejoices that his race is almost run. The hotel-keepers of Indianapolis, for their own sake, should rescue the old man from the poor-house. Some one of them should give him a subordinate hid s«rvices willf amply compensate for food and clothing, so that he may yet live comfortably, if not “on the fat of the land.” Captain Wightman, of the Maguire House, offers to give him three good meals a day if somebody else will lodge him.—Indianapolis Saturday Herald. A Stream of Charity. During the late epidemic Vicksburg received nearly t wo hundred thousand dollars from kind and generous givers all over the Union. The amounts received t»y all the fever districts foot up nearly two million dollars. It is hard to estimate the good that was done, the suffering that was relieved and the horrors that were averted by this; wholesale charity. The mind fails to grasp the immensity of the magnanim: ty of acts that record themselves by hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands and millions of dollars! It is like one trying to conceive of the vastness of the empire in which this was done. If it were possible to estimate the vast plains, rivers, mountains, forests and ands that stretch from the Gulf to the grsat lakes, and from ocean to ocean, it would be possible to somewhat appreciate the vastness of the aid received. Our people cried out in their distress, and relief from every quarter flowed in on them in one continuous stream for months. The gifts were only limited by the wants of the suffering. No question was asked ; no refusals were thought of, and the world witnessed the spectacle of a great civilized people engaged in the

task of pouring out wealth to relieve the sufferings of fellow-beings. Philanthropy is truly said to be the noblest trait of human nature. Philanthropy and charity are the .evidences of the highest civilization. These are possessed in a higher degree by the American people than by any other people on earth. History does not record an event that will compare to the universal charity displayed in the United States in 1878.—Vicksburg Herald. Clean Journalism. There is a growing sentiment in this community in favor of dean newspapers. This is as it should be. The newspaper is the public educator. It is the daily visitor and fireside companion of every intelligent household. Why should we not exact of it as chaste a tone and as good manners as we would of a personal visitor? What would be done witff a person who should enter a refined family circle, and in the presence of women and children, commence detailing the particulars of some low scandal, or recounting the details of some disgusting crime, or repeating any matter ot doubtful propriety? Such a person would naturally be shown the door. That is exaotly in kind what should be done with the unclean newspaper—it should be shown the doorpitched into the grate—and denied further admission to fellowship until it mends its manners. The newspaper can not and should not be kept from the children. It should be so pure in tone as to raise no blush of shame on their innocent faces. It should never contain a line or word unfit for them to read. The public journal that comes nearest to this high standard will be the family newspaper of the future.—San Jose {Cal.) Mercury. ■ ■<-u .

POPULAR SCIENCE. • ' . m RttvnnriCATiON bt Milk.—Dr. Brown Sequard, in a late letter to the Fre .ch Biological Society, states that milk, moderately warmed, if injected slowly into a human artery, will revive a dying patient quite as much as injections of blood. He cites a number of cases in which he has successfully tried the experiment. Driviko Nails bt Machinery.— There was on exhibition at the Paris Exposition a flooring-machine called a “ nail gun,” the invention of a young man of New Zealand, named F. Falkner. The New Zealand Time* speaks of it as follows: We have seen the implement in use, and as far as we are able to judge itis quicker in. its work, and insures greater cleanliness, than hand nailing could do. The apparatus is not unlike a gun in shape, and is about the same length. It is kept ia position with the foot and knee, and the nail to be placed (point down) in an aperture at the top of the concern. It slides down to the bottom, and then the operator draws up a rod, and by one downward stroke of this the nail is cleanly driven into the boards beneath. A practiced hand, by this simple contrivance, could do the work of half a dozen men. We believe that Mr. Falk ner is now improving upon his invention, and is making a “nail gun” which will be self-feeding. We have ne doubt that when the implement comes to be generally known it will be brought into general use.

artificial Indigo.—The most notable achievment in synthetic chemistry since 1868 has just been made by Professor Baeyer, Professor Liebig’s successor at Munich. For the past 20 years he has been studyjng the constitution of indigo, and at a late session of the German Chemical Society he announced the completion of his task in the discovery of the last link in the chain of synthetic reactions leading to the artificial formation of that important dye-stuff. This discovery ranks with that of Professors Graebe and Liebermann in 1868, by which artificial madder was substituted in the arts for the natural product, hitherto the only instance of the kind in the history of chemistry. As yet the operations involved in this sy nthesis are too numerous and too cost ly to allow their practical application in the arts; yet there is reason to expect that cheaper methods will be devised, as was the case with artificial madder products, and that before many years a new and important industry will be developed. At the same time the present occupation of many people will be destroyed, and large areas now devoted to the cultivation of indigo will have to be pnt to other uses.

THE oUN rtrr TO DOMESTIC USE.— Among the scientifie discoveries, introduced to the public at the Faria Exhibition of 1878, there are none more interesting and more worthy of attention than the invention of M. Mouchot, a professor at the lycee of Tours. M. Mouchot has been experimenting with the sun, and the results of his experiments are eminently satisfactory, fie has, in short, established the utility of the heat of the great luminary for practical purposes as a domestic and scientific agent So much M. Mouchot has accomplished by the construction of a simple and ingenious apparatus for attracting the sun’s rays. This apparatus is nothing more than an inverted skylight with bright internal partitions, and an opening directed towards the sun. The rays, attracted to the surface, concentrate at the center, to the spot where, the lamp is placed in an ordinary sky-light,and a temperature is produced sufficient—according to the utensils employed—to cook a mutton-chop or a rib of beef. With the use of a vase of water, ■a sort of -boiler :- and M- Mooch_ .machine by steflH^IPi^BPVQPBRrSuh. These experiments have attracted the attention of the scientific world. 'Physicians and engineers have remarked the fruitful source of application and economy in M. Mouchot’s discovery. A scientific mission was set on foot in Algeria in 1877, and M. Mouchot profited by the splendid advantages Offered by the French colony for investigations of this character. The results of this mission in Algeria were magnificent, and with a perfected apparatus M. Mouchot baked bread and meats, and boiled potatoes and eggs, with a speed that the best of cooks and the brightest of fires could not attain. He distilled the juice of figs—from which an alcoholic drink is made in Algeria—in a very short time, and the heat of the sun, by the vaporization of water, performed the part of a motive power with marked success. The results of these experiments have lately been communicated to the French Academy of Science, and, to encourage the practical and economical applications of the sun’s heat, the Conseil General of Algeria has voted 5,000 fr. for the construction of the proper appartus. This apparatus has been sent to the Exhibition. It does not require a very lively imagination to foresee the benefits to which these researches may lead, not so much in our own temperate'clime, perhaps, as in those tropical regions where the sun pours down a torrent of heat, which, till now, nature alone has employed in the production of an exuberant vegetation.

Where It Never Bains. In Fern, South America, rain is unknown. The coast of Pern is within the region of perpetual southeast tradewinds, and though the Peruvian shores are oh the verge of thegreat southeast boiler, jet it never rains there. The reason is plain. The southeast tradewinds in the Atlantic Ocean first strike the water on the coast of Africa. Traveling to the northwest they blow obliquely across the ocean until they reach the coast of Brasil. By this time they are laden with vapor, which they continue to bear along across the continent, depositing it as they go, and supplying with it the sources of the Rio de la Plata and the southern tributaries of the Amazon. Finally they reach the snowcapped Andes; here is wrung from them the last particle of moisture that a very low temperature can attract. Reaching the summit of that range, they now tumble down as cool and dry winds on the Pacific slope beyond. Meeting with no evaporating surface and no temperature colder than that to which they were subjected on the mountain1 tops, they reach the ocean. Thus we see how the tops of the Andes become the reservoir from which are supplied the rivers of Chili and Peru.—San Francisco Bulletin. Sad Bomance of Teu YoungJLadies. Five years ago'there were living in Williamsport ten young ladies, beautiful, highly educated, intimate friends, and moving in the best circles of society. And since then? Ah, our pen almost shrinks from telling the fate of these girls, but we must print it as a warning to others. Two of them married Congressmen, another linked her fate with that of an editor, the fourth wedded a* clergyman, another writes poetry for the Waverly Magazine, the sixth married a humorous paragrapher and looks as sad as an orphan asylum, and the remaining four joined a croquet club and everlastingly ruined their sweet tempers thereby.—Norristown Herald.

As the onions are to be eaten with the potatoes, put them in the sauce-pan of boiling water, and they can be boiled while the potatoes are being steamed. Place the steamer on the sauce-pan of boiling water, and cover it down tight to keep the steam in. Let the potatoes steam and the onions boil for j hour.

Fot serving, turn the Irish stew out upon a hot dish.
