There has been no change reported since smooth, except a decline in Maryland and Kentucky and an increase in Virginia, owing to favorable weather. * Chip Manure.—H. la, fV , ‘ > Mountain, N. C.; Rotten chips of hard wood an vslable as a fertilizer when thoroughly decayed; otherwise they favor the growth of a fungus which is Injurious to some plants. The best way to use jt it for bed. ding pigs and costs, and to absorb the liquid waste of stables, and to mix it with manure. Carefully collected statistics of the wheat acreage and production of Minnesota in 1880 make it one of the most important wheat producing states in the Union. It is estimated that the prodoc lion this year will be very close upon 40,000,000 bushels, from an acreage of *#».- 825, or 200,804 more acres than were planted last year. Upon this basis it is calculated that Dakota sod Minnesota will, in all probability, produce oo e-tenth of the wheat grown In thd United States this season, figuring the whole amount at 480,000,000 bushels, the probable yield.

The Omaha Republican gives a detailed statement of this year's cattle drive, the total reaching 901,000. Of this number about 50,000 bead will be driven to the Union Pacific. The cattle are in good condition, fully up to the standard of pre vious years, and are mostly one, two and three years old, very few being beef cattle. The drive to Nebraska would have been larger had it not been for the drouth making a acaicity of grass along the road. About 25,000 hones are being driven up ifom Texas this season, of which number about 5,000 go to Nebraska. Forty years ago Messrs. Lawes A Gilbert of England began a aeries of experiments in wheat growing. They selected plots of ground—in some they tried different manures, while on one plot no manure or change of crop was allowed, but wheat followed wheat, season after season for 40 years. In that time there has been a decrease of just ten bushels per acre in the yield. Taking this as a standard case, fanners who follow wheat with wheat not giving the land any needed rest or feeding it with manure or green crops turned under, may look for a decrease, of cohrte less more years than others, but an average of one fourth bushel per acre a year This Is one practical outcome for these celebrated experiments, for which the farmers of the whole world may feel thankiul to the Messrs. Lawes A Gilbert. To tell the age of cows.—The ages of horned cattle may generally be known by the rings on the horns till their tenth year, but alter that time they give no Indication of age further than that the animal has passed its tenth year. The first ring appears on the horn alter the animal is two years old—soon alter, as a general rule, though sometimes before that age. During the third year the ring gradually increases, and at three years ot age it is completely formed. The second ring appears during the loath year, and an the end of the filth year it is complete. After that period an additional ring is formed each year. This rule is sufficiently plain, and even a young farmer needs but little practice to enable him to read a cow’s age on her horns. A cow with three rings is six years old; with four rings she is seven years old. No new rings are formed after the tenth year; the deeper rings, however, sod the worn appearance of the horns are pretty sure indications of old age.

Cure For Founder.—“ln the beginning of the disease remove the shoes, and rasp down the heels and edges of the hoofs, so that the bearing of the animal’s weight comes comes entirely upon the sole and frog; then place the fore feet in a tub of warm water for half an hour, which repegt three or four times daily daring two days; alter which apply hog’s lard or some softening ointment to the soles of the feet daily. Leavo the animal without shoes in a roomy box-stall or comfortable shed, with plenty of bedding. To keep such an animal tied up in a stall with inclining or sloping floor is objectionable. He must have liberty to frequently change his position, which cannot be afforded in a single stall.

"As soon as the shoes have alt been removed and the feet pared as directed the horse should be given a laxative doae of medicine, for which purpose dissolve from one to one-and-a-balf pounds of glanber salts in a quart of hot water, adding to the solution so once of powdered ginger, sad give the whole at one dose. Then give every hour daring six hoars ten to fifteen drops of tincture ot aconite; alter which, daring the next two or three days, give, morning, noon and evening, four ounces of a solution of acetate of ammonia with an ounce of sweet spirits of nitre in half a pint of cold water. If, after three or four days, much pain and tenderness should remain, a fly-blister may be applied around the coronet of the feet for about three fingers in width, during which the horse should be tied up so as to prevent his interfering with the blister by rubbing it with his mouth, as he will be almost certain to do daring the next six hours after the application ol the blister. ‘ From the beginning he should be kept quiet, in a comfortable, well-ven-tilated pli£e, and be well blanketed, to induce perspiration. The food, which should only be given in lianlted quantity, should be of a loosening nature, such as a mixture of steamed oats, bran and flaxseed meal, together with only very little hay, which should not be timothy. When the urgent symptoms have disappeared the horse should be given the liberty ot the barnyard during daytime, when weather permits, and during summer turned out to pasture.”

A wag got hold of an editor’s whisky bottle, and labeled it “To be continued in our necks.” Farmers do not hear the cornstalk. Neither do the men who wear tight boots, but there are some things that speak louder than words. When a girl is twenty she feels very easy on that score. I’ts only when she scores another that she begins to wonder who invented wrinkles. Every man who has become president of the United States has been elected during a leap year. This is something for the girls to wonder abont. An exchange contains the marriage notice of Hr. and Miss Carr. We notice it merely as an instance of car coupling by a clergyman, which is something unusual. As you travel around the country you are more and more impressed with the conviction that the chief end of man is to paint medicine signs on the fences. “Will you have some cream and glucose in your coffee V” is the question now propounded from the maternal end of the breakfast table. “Yes,” answers the paterfamilias, “and pass the oleomargarine” Diana locks are the names of new hangn introduced into fashionable circles. They are called after the arrowy goddess because they quiver when the bean comes around. “Seth,’’ said Mrs. Spicer, “I wish you would go and see to the furnace; that Kate is putting in coal as if she was firing a locomotive.” And, when Spicer remarked that the girl was, perhaps, a railway-cinder-Kate, Mrs. 8. grew warmer than ever. . Yon may say what yon please, but there is luck in horse-shoes. A woman nailed one up against the woodshed a month ago, and last week her husband eloped with the hired girl.

As Che temple increased in wealth, the stone pillars were replaced by others, made of an alky of g«4d and silver; and these two pillars became, in time, the emblem of the city, as s horse’s head ♦*»** of Carthage. Centuries later, when Charles V. became Emperor of Germany, he adopted • new coat of arms, in which the Pillars of Gades or Cadiz, occupied a prominent pooition in the device; hence, when n new coin, the colonnsto, was struck at the imperial mint, it bore the new device, —two- pill ars with a scroll intwined around them. This coin becamea standard of value in the Mediterranean ; and the pillars nod scroll bureau its areeptod symbol in writing. The two horiaontel bora which cross the symbol of the English pound sterling are also thought to have a similar origin. The symbolic origin of the Pillars of Hercules may be tneeu hi back into the remote era prior to the dispersion of the human race from tie Asiatic birthplace. They are identified with the household pillars of the Scandinavians; and the idea from which the concrete embodiments spring is to he found alike in the Ssaakirt Vedss and in the glowing imagery of the Hebrew poets. They are the symbols of day and night, of. light arid darkness, which, to the dav*iiug intelligence of the Aryan races, were evidences of the Omnipotent, and, to the Jewish patriarchs, the work of a revealed Creator.

A Literary Curiosity.

Tire following rather curious piece of compoeitiou was recently placed upon the blackboard at a teachers’ institute, and a prise of a Webster’s Dictionary offered to any person who would read and pronounce every word correctly. The book was not carried off, liowever, as 12 was the lowest number of mistakes made in pronunciation: “A sacrilegious sou of Belial, who suffered from bronchitis, .having exhausted his finances, in order to make good the deficit, resolved to ally himself to a comely, lenient and docile young lady of the Malay or Caucasian race. He accordingly purchased a calliope and coral necklace of a chameleon hue, and securing a suite of rooms at a principal hotel, engaged the head waiter as his coadjutor. He then dispatched a letter of the most unexceptional caligraphy extant, inviting the young lady to a matinee. Bhe revolted at the idea, refused to consider herself sacrificable to his desires, and sent a polite note of refusal, on receiving which, he procured a carbine and a bowie knife and said he would not now forge letters hymenial with the queen, went to an isolated spot, severed his jugular vein, and discharged the contents of his carbine into bis abdomen. The debris was removed by the coroner.” The mistakes in pronunciation were made on the following words: Sacrilegious, Belial, bronchitis, exhausted, finances, deficit, comely, lenient, docile, Malay, calliope, chameleon, suite, coadjutor, caligraphy, matinee, sacrificable, carbine, hymenial, isolated, jugular and debris.

Carp Growing.

Several marked advantages are claimed for the German carp for profitable cultivation. Any kind of a pond, no matter how restricted, can be used. Difficulties of temperature or purity of water are scarcely factors in carp culture. Providing the water is not too cold, carp thrive rapidly. In fact, no natural water has yet been found too warn for them- Being, vegetable feeders, carp thrive on plants growing in the water, or may be given offal, like pigs, or boiled grain like chickens. A large pond may be dug on areble land, allowed to grow carp for two or three years, the fish marketed and the ground brought under cultivation again. The profitableness of carp culture is shown by the following experience reported in' a California paper. A gentleman in that state bought six carp in January, 1876. One of them soon died. From the other five he raised the first year 2,044 fish, and the year after 2-672. In 1878 he sold two of his okl fish, and raised 4,000 from the remaining three. He had four shallow fish ponds, costing 850 each, and covering about half an acre of low ground comparatively worthless for other uses. For his original fish he paid S3O, and $lO for food stuff, making a total outlay of $240. In fonr yeaas he sold $415 dollars worth of fish, and supplying Ins own table with fish lor eighteen months. There are thonsands of small ponds throughout the country which might with a little trouble be converted into carp ponds with large profit'

I fancy that her fern wears an mr so icy that her husband catches cold every time be looks at her. A sloneby, untidy, frowning wife cannot compote with a dub or a billiard room to save her life. If she wants her better-half (in this instance) to stay at homo, lot her wear the old smile, neat dresses and testy coiffure she wore when be was courting her. Let the room be dean and the fire brightly training. Let her commence an honest endeavor to make home a brighter, sunnier spot than the club tad the saloon, and she’ll soon get over her heartaches. If a boy is wanted to grow up a lover yf home, home must be made worth the oving. Don’t crowd him down; don't keep telling him that be seen, not heard; don’t make him sit on a certain place until he is on the verge of paralysis, and don’t make him rend “Baxter’s Saints’ Rest,” when Jules Verne’s and J. 8. C. Abbott’s books are what he wants. Don’t refuse him a cookie or aa apple, either, just before bed-time, telling him it» unhealthy. If the stomach does not want fruit it will not ask for it, and the physician who says otherwise should not doctor a sick pump or a deceased ironing-board for me. And further, don’t send your boy to bed at halfpast seven o’clock. I’ve known boys raised as above, and nine out of ten grew up rascals, and the tenth was an idiot Such boys run off the first chance they get and try to becoine circus clowns and Indian fighters. Ido not blame them, either.

Home Making.

Did yon ever build a house? I do not mean a house to rent or a house to sell, but a house for your own home ? If not, you have missed a very sweet experience, not only in the building, but in the realization of your hopes when you go to live under Cur roof-tree. Tour own, not because you ve paid so many dollars for it, but doubly precious because of the loving labor every room has cost you, the bright pictures of home happiness you have imagined as the stone and brick grew into shape and comeliness, the self-denial yoi practiced to secure this ornament or that comfort, the delightful surprises you planned for the dear ones for whom after all the house is being built, the long consultations with your wife as you cagntpa watched the workmen. You can easily give a reaeon for every nook and corner of the whole structure; even its defects are dear to yon because of some remembrance associated with them; this room is larger than is necessary at present, because the children are growing and will soon be gathering a good deal of company about them; this one is inconveniently small that the other may be larger; this is of peculiar shape to humor a whim of the wife; this odd window was placed in that sunny corner for her plants ‘ the hall is square and roomy because all love to gather there, and a hall is a sort of index to the house; it should tell of comfort and warmth, and the glow of good cheer throughout; this small room which a stranger might consider illy lighted and inconvenient, has a thousand uses, and indeed, could not lie dispensed with; a narrow passage here is to accomodate the lmys, add enable them to slip in from their work and change their clothes Wore coming to table, or appearing in the parlor. A sunny room for the mother, a cozy corner for the lather, light, cheerfulness, room, plenty of fresh air for the children and as much attention as possible to the peculiar tastes of each member of the fiunilr. The time spent, the economy practiced, the sweet anticipations, the lingering over small details, these make the home for more precious than any money value can estimate. Do not, therefore, liny a house if yon seek a permanent home, bat wait and build for yourselves. More than the house shall yon build. As it takes on symmetrical and tastefhl proportions, there will surely grow in your hearts a tenderer love and a truer value sf all the pood things that cluster round, and center m a genuine heme.

The Immortality of the Soul.

in the different ages these has been nothing about which the minds of men havs been more agreed than in regard to these two things, the existence of a God, or Divine Ruler, and the existence in ■««« of a soul that is to live forever. Like a ship from a far distant shore, that has traveled over boisterous seas aud through storms which have sunken nearly all the other vessels that started from toe some place at the same time, the belief ia these two things has come down to ns from the very cradle of the hnman race, over-riding and swerving the opposition it has encountered along the way. As a.bow in the hands of the archer may be bent ever so mucb, and yet if not broken it will return to its former shape when the pressure is removed; as a ship may be driven from its course under the stress of a'stormy wind, and yet if well handled and uninjured it will be brought back to the right seourse wheii the wind anbsides; as the trees of the forest may be made to sway to and fro during a tempest, and yet when the commotion ceases they will resume their former positions; so the hnman mind under strong pressure or subtle argument may be shaken and made to away from the right position for a time, and yet after a see son, in calmer moments, when circumstances permit it to act wisely and naturally, it will not fail to come bock to a recognition of those truths white are supported by sufficient evidence. Thus it has been in the past in regard to the immortality of the soul, and thus doubtless it wiU be in the ftitnre. Under certain influences many may be led to doubt or to deny tikis important truth, sad yet we may feel confident that the general coarse of hnmin thought on this subject will always be in abont the same direction, the deviations being slight and temporary.

Brother Jonathan.

The origin of this term as applied to the United States, is as follows. When General Bfcshington, after being appointed commander of the Revolutionary army, went to Massachusetts to organize it, be found a great want of ammunition and other means of defence; and on one occasion it seemed that no means could be devised for the necessary safety. Jonathan Trumbull the elder was then governor of the Stats of Connecticut; and the general, placing the greatest reliance cm hu Excellency’a judgment, remarked, “We mast consult Brother Jonathan on the subject.” The general did so, and tho governor was successful so gupplying many of the wants of the army; and thenceforward—when difficulties arose, sad the army was spread over the country -U became o by phrase, “We must consult Brother Jonathan* And the has now become a designation for the whole •oontiy, as John Bull has for England. No man who builds up to his line has the right to open a window upon hie arbbor’s land.

A short time ago cigars woe found in ana of the bread-tabs of a Havana steamer, where they had been placed by the cook and covered with dough. They had been found under the boilers, hidden away under maaaea of eoal in the coal-bunkers, and cowered'with a bulky cargo. A small shed or wooden bin, was found in a coal-bunker not long ago, and in this was 10,000 cigars, packed in a small compass. If too closely watched by the inspecters, the crew will take back the cigars and take their chances of smuggling them ashore on a subsequent voyage. Bay oil, which pays a duty of SO cents par ounce, is also a favorite article for smuggling. The duty is almost prohibitory, and even if a small amount can he brought in undetected, it pays handsomely. It is put up in 22-ounce bottles, and these can be handily stowed sway and taken ashore one at a time Smuggling is not confined to this end of the route, however. Tbe Spanish authorities impose a duty of per pound on opium, and the means adopted to evade the custom officers at Havana are very ingenious. Small quantities in tin boxes are packed in tubs and barrels of butter. Cans of opium are packed in lam rolls of wall paper, which is duty free. They are hidden in barrels of potatoes, and in other articles where they are likely to escape detection.

The Original Indians.

In an article in Ftfter'e American JfmtfUj Gen. Brisbin attempts to prove that the Indian is of Asiatic origin. In summing np bis feds he says: “Perhaps Urn strongest proof that oar Indians are from Asia is in tbe fact that the nomadic tribes of Alaska are related to the Kamtchalkas, and even now pqps and repass Behring Straits. A tribe has lately been found in Alaska speaking the same language that is spokeu in Kamchatka; and still Airtber, as if to remove all obstacles to the belief that the North American Indian is from Asia, I am assured many tribes on )>oUi sides of tbe straits are identical in manners, habits, and customs. While tbe geography of the western hemisphere was unknown, tbe origin of our Indians could not lie otherwise than a matter of conjecture; but now that the locality of tribes and the characteristics of oar country are known, we can with almost certainity establish the nativity of the Ked Man. It is not withiu tbe scope of this article to enter into (briber particulars concerning this interesting subject, but I will remark that sixty-mne authorities examined all point to the same conclusion, and it can be satisfactorily proved our Indians are Asiatics: First, by their similarity of features and complexions. Second, by similarity of languages. Third, by similarity of religion. Fourth, by similarity of dress and ornaments. Fifth, by similarity of marriages. Sixth, by similarity of methods of making war. ■Seventh, by similarity of dauces. Eighth, by similarity of sacrifices. Ninth, by similarity of funeral rites. Tenth, liy similarity of festivals and lieliefs concerning dreams. Eleventh, by similarity of games. Twelfth, by similarity of practice in naming children. Thirteenth, by similarity of dwellings. Fourteenth, by similarity in forms of government.”

The Old Oaken Bucket.

- The popnlar song, “The Old Oaken Bucket,” originated under the following circumstances: When Samuel Woodworth was a typo in a printing office which was situated at the corner of Chestnut and Chambers streets, there were few places in the city of New York where one could enjoy the luxury of a really “good drink.” Among the few most worthy of patronage was an establishment kept by Mallory in Franklin street. Woodworth, in company with several particular friends, had dropped in at this place one afternoon for the purpose of taking some “brandy and water,” which Mallory was famous for keeping. The liquor was super-excellent, and Woodworth seemed inspired by it; for, after taking a draught, he laid his glass down upon the table, and smacking his lips, declared that Mallory’s cent de tie was superior to anything he had ever tasted. “No,” said Mallory, “you are quite mistaken; there was one thing which In both our estimations far surpassed this in the way of drink.” “What was that ?” ‘asked, Woodworth dubiously. “The draught of pure fresh spring water we used to drink from the old oaken bucket that hung in the .well, after our return from the labors of the field on a sultry day in snmmar.” The teardrops glistened for a moment in Woodworth's eyes. “True, true!” he replied; and soon quitted the place. He returned to the office, grasped the pen; and in half an hour “The Old Oaken Bucket,” one of the most delightful compositions in our language, was ready in manuscript to be embalmed in the memory of succeeding generations.

Why an Old Texan Made His Will.

One day last month when trade was dull, a grocer’s clerk procured a piece of sole leather from a shoemaker, painted it black and laid it aside for fiiture use. Within a few days an old chap from back in the country came in and inquired for a plug of chewing tobacco. The piece of sole leather was tied up, paid for, and the purchaser started for home. At the end of the sixth day he returned, looking downcast and dejected, and walking into the store he inquired for the clerk. “ ’Member that terbacker I got here the other day ?" “Yes, sir.” “Well, was that a new brand?” “Yes.” “Regular plug terbacker, was it?” “Yes.” “Well, then, it’s me.” It’s right here in my jaws,” sadly replied the did man. I knowed I was getting party old, bat I wa* alius handy at bitin’ plug. I never seed a ping afore this one that I couldn’t tear to pieces at chaw. I sot my teeth on this one, and bit and pulled and twisted like a dog at a root, and I’ve kept biting and polling for six days, mid there she am the same as the day you sold her to me.” “Seems to be a good plug,” remarked the clerk, as be smelt of the counterfeit “She’s all right; it’s me that's foiling,” remarked the oM man. “Pass me out some fine cut, and I’ll go home and deed the form to the boys, and get ready for the grave myself”

A conductor on the Madisob avenue line of hone-cars in New York naively explained to a reporter the code of morals in vogue in the street-railway companies of the metropolis. The conductor said the strikes on the Second and Third avenns lines would not amount to anything, and the new men could steal twice as much as the old ones, who would all he back in a month- “ They do ‘knock down,’ then in spite of the ibell-punch ?” said the reporter. “Of cofcrae they do,” replied the conductin', “and ft expected they will. On this line they expect it, only they tell us we must not get caught doing it. Do you know what are our hours? From 6in the morning until 10 at night, and oar pay is (L9O. They expect us all to take a few fores, and there is not a conductor on the line but so understands it. All pur bosses want is for us to makonp to a certain average, and we have to do it, Jt is po sin to *knock down’ on this line; the sin is in getting found oat” Half the logic of misgorernment lies in onesophistical dilemml If the people are turbulent, they are unfit for liberty; if they ffiffwnlfly they are unfit {or Jiierty.—

D ied as a King Should.

J. E. Murdock has written a book on the stage, in which occurs the fallowing “S’; Mac ready sms fond of telling the foil wing story as his experience of American independence, exemplified in a Western actor of the self-satisfied kind. “In the set of Hamlet," sskl he, “Iwas very anxious to have the King, who was ipther ot a democratic turn of mind, to fall when I stabbed him, over the steps of the throne and on the right hand side, with his feet to the left, In order that when I was to fall I should have the center of the stage to myself, as befitting the principal personage ot the tragedy. No objection was made to this request on the part of the actor, bat at night, to my great surprise, he wheeled direct round filar receiving the sword thurst, and deliberately fell in the middle of the scene, jnst on the spot where I was in the habit of dying. Well, as a dead man cannot move himself, and aa there was no time for others to do it, the King's body remained in possession of my place, and I was forced to find another situation, which I did, and finished the scene in the best way I could. . “When I expostulated with his Majesty for tbe liberty he had taken, he replied: ‘Mr. Mac ready, we western people know nothing about Kings except that they have an odd trick of doing as they please; therefore, I though as I was a king 1 had a right to do whatever I pleased; and so, sir, I fell back upon my kingly rights, from which, you perceive, sir, there is no appeal.' "I retired," said Mr. Macready, “to my dressing-room to have a hearty laugh over what I felt more like crying over a moment before.”

There is a clever story abont Mohammed All and the camels, and though it will be familiar to many of our readers, they will scarcely be sorry to be reminded of it A Persian died, leaving seventeen camels to be divided among his three sons in the following proportions: the eldest to have half, tbe second a third, and the youngest a ninth. Of course, camels can’t be divided into fractions, so in despair, tbe brothers submitted their difficulty to Mohammed Ali. “I’ll lend yon another camel to make eighteen, and now divided them yourselves,” The consequence was, each brother got from oneeighth to one-half of a camel more than he was entitled to, and Ali received his camel back again; the eldest brother getting nine camels, the second six, and the third two. ' Two boys at Michigan City, named Holden and Maze, aged about 14 years, both connected with a lunch room at the depot, were playing this evening, and Holden pointed a revolver at Maze and Jokingly said, “Look oat, it’s loaded.” and discharged the pistol, the ball entering the boy's brain just over the left eye. Maze lived about fifteen minutes. It is considered to be purely accidental. Both families live in the eity. Young men from alt* part* of tbe country ars going to H. B.
