Prom the N. Y. Tiibune.THE CAKDIFF GIANT.

BlstoiJ of the Statue and its Maker.

The world mast confess that it •wasnever humbugged so brilliantly as it wasa year ago last summer by tlio discoveryof the petrified man near ttyracuse, N. Y.The Cardiff Giant was tliu work of noordinary genius. The man that could

Ivo and successfully carry out Buoha masterpieoe of jugglery is u characterfor history. A short account of the indi-vidual and his mysterious enterprise can-not be uninteresting. The fact is estab-lished that George Hull, of Binghamton,N. Y., is the sole originator of this hum-bug.

Mr. Hull was born at Sydney's Ford,on the Connecticut River, between Hart-ford and Springfield. Sere he lived on afarm till he was 28. He then left his hometo mak« his fortune in the world. Chanceguided Ins footsteps to Bingh&mton.Charmed with the Cheuango valley, hosought out a few fertile acres two milesnorth of the village, and transplantedthere his old Connecticut occupation oftobacco raising. At the cu«l of 15 yearshe found himself in possession of a—fora farmer—comfortable little fortune, be-iirer worth, when the important crisis inhis life (.ami', say $5,000.

TIOW T1IK PliOJECT ORIGINATED.

3Ir. Hull's parents were Puritans ofthesturdy old Connecticut order, but he o.trlyin life launched into free thinking, andbecame a confirmed infidel. He chancedone stormy winter's night in 1863 to beat the bedside of a dying inan in Ackloy,Ilardin County, Iowa. The village pas-tor had been called in, and he too was awatcher in the sick room. True to his in-stincts Mr. Hull called out the aged di-vine in vindication of his belief. From ameasured and slow conversation they ad-vanced to a heated discussion, which pro-longed itself into an argument, and con-tinned until naarly morning. Debatingupon the veracity of the Old Testamenthistory, tin; skeptic stated his convictionthat the first two chapters of Genesis,giving the history of the Creation, werefalse. This the venerable clergymanstoutly contested, expressing the mostimplicit faith in the narrative of the Cre-ation, and in the fact that our first parentswere more nearly perfect than their do-se,n.lants have proved to bo. "Therewere giants in those days, you know"said the clergyman. "What evidence1

have you that there were giants':"' de-manded his antagonist. "Why, BOUiehave been found, sir," replied tho zealousImt imprudent clergyman.

ltetiring to bed about daybreak, theheated brain of the skeptical debater re-flected long upon what seemed to him thebigotry of religious zealots. " They areready to believe anything," he arguedwith himself. " No matter how impossi-ble, they take stock in anything that affords them an argument. I verily believethe old gentleman would believe that asack, of hard salt was Lot's wife, if itwire properly shown him. Hundreds ofpeople would believe in a stone image ofone ofthe sons of Anak if they shouldfind it already manufactured and couldn'tdiscover its origin." Then flashed on himthe full conception of John Henry Car-diff, the Onondaga Giant. It sprang upin his brain m full panoply. Every de-ft lil was there ; the stone image, its burialand discovery, and tho fortunes to bemade out of showing it to thousands ofthe credulous at fifty cents a head!Nothing was lucking of tho Cardiff Giantin its first conception: the exact form oftho image resuscitated from antiquity;its ] oculiar posture, unlike that of statuesof gods and men, proving it conclusivelyto be not an imago but a petrification;the very pores of the skin, showing thattho vory stone onoo had fi-:sh and bloodand a vascular system—all had theirplace in that first conception of genius.Then there was tho complete schome ofthe fortune to be made from selling outhalf and quarter and eighth interests. Inonly one single respect did the first ideadiffer from the final realization. Thatwas in respect to size. Tho sons of Anak,to be like themselves, must surely bo 16feet in height; and of that stature it waspet. i mined that tho fossil man should bemade, to the uttermost cubit. The diffi-culty of finding a stone sufficiently large,however, caused the giant to abate in hisfinal actual length to 10 foet 11 inch, ft,

LOOKING FOR A PARTNER.

From that night uneasy rested thebead that gave birth to that marvelousconception. The secret was kept lock,-,1tightly there, however, for 18 monthsNothing was added to or subtracted fromtho original design, and tho only thingdeveloped was the money and the pluckneoessarv to carry the thing through. Atlength, in the gammer of 1867, be becamiacquainted with a Mr. F, from Morrison111. F. was then engaged in the patontright business. He was a successful man.Hi- appeared to bo a man who could keepa secret. So he was picked out for apartner. Gradually, but fully, tho schemewas developed to the attentive F. Thesuccessful patent right vender replied atonce-that he was ready to "go in." Howould put in capital, but could not spare

the time. But the time and personal aidwas just what was needed most of all;and so, after exposing the secret, the oilermust In- rejectee! and no good come of it.Vet one good did come of it. P. told anacquaintance- living in GhioagO, one B.,who had more time and would also "goin." Though 11. was never made a partner, yet it was in his barn in Chicago thatJohn Henry Cardiff's noble image was af-tei wards sculptuie-l. Moreover, the oon-Bdenoe shared by the moneyed but busyP. wiis never betrayed.

DIFFICULT C'AKTAOE.

Failing of getting a partner, the pluckygiant maker set out alone. He heard ofvast gypsum deposits near Fort Dodge,Iowa. After visiting and surveying thegypsum, he determined that the materialwas exactly that of petrified giants, audso ho bought an acre of the quarry land,being three miles below Fort Dodge, onthe east side ef the river, paying $100 forit. Four men were hired to help quarryout tho stone. They were compelled toexcavate to a depth of 15 feet before anypieces of stone sufficiently large werefound. Even then the layers seemed toothin for a prime giant; so work was sus-pended for a few days, and further pros-pecting for a better auarry was done.Tho giant builder heard by report that ata spot a mile to tho east the Dubuque &Sioux City Railroad Company was en-gaged in constructing a culvert, and wasquarrying large pieces of gypsum for thearch, doing there, he found some beau-tiful large sections that seemed especiallymade for embodying tho fossil remains of

1 giant. Quarrymen wore hired to getout as large pieces as possible. By suc-lesaful ••leathering," a huge fragment of

jypsum, 12 feet long, 3 1-5 feet wide and2 feet thick, was separated from the rock.That fragment to-day is the Cardiff Gi-ant. Tho stone thus produced was 45miles from the nearest railroad station.A contract was therefore made with ateamster to carry it this 45 miles for $125.He hitched on all tho horses ho could get,and tugged at it three days, getting itUong two miles, and then abandoned theob. The generous giant killer paid the

discharged teamster $20 and let him go.Then a new contract was made with an-other man to complete the the job forJ150. It was agreed that tho stone shouldse at Boonsboro' in three days. Instead>f that the journey occupied three weeks.But the railroad finally reached, JohnElenry started on the first of his numer-nis railroad journeys, marked in blackpaint, " G. Hull, Chicago, 111."

MAKING TIIE GIANT.

Before the stone reached Chicago, Mr.[lull, going on before, had consulted withSir. F.'s friend B., and rented of him hisjam. This barn is situated on the northside of tho city, beyond Lincoln park.The stone was then taken inio.the. barn,B. also know men who were handy witha stone chisel. Two of them—both Ger-mans—were ijHgagod to apply their art..o John Henry s physiognomy. Tho headworkman ha 1 done considerable oroa-nental stone work in Chicago, and per-laps possessed some slight suspicions of;he sculptor's art. He of course must benitiated into the secret, and that of:ourso raised his wages. He was paid10 per day, and was a lazy workman at

:,hat. The remarkable genius who hailconceived the work after all, was obliged;o supply tho better part of tho handi-craft* for tho work of sculpture. First,several clay images wore made. Everyffort was put forth to avoid any likenesso a statue. The peculiar position in

which tho giant has been seen by sonany visitors is the result, of this strenu-itis endeavor. Finally, a clay image wasmule satisfactory to all requirements, and;ho work of reproducing it in the blockof gypsum commenced. The Germanlead employe frequently bolted, demand-rig more pay, so that Hull himself wasbliged to do a large part of the work.Jut the statue gradually advanced to-vard completion. At the end of threenoiiths, there stood John Henry, naked,>ald, and picturesque. But nature h i-elf requires more than a sculptor's chiselor her imitation. The very pores of thekm must bo represented on John II -liiy'sH>dy. To this end the following device

was resorted to : A circular piece of card-ward, the size of a watch crystal, wasut out. Tho hand was pressed on this,caving prints of the skin's pores. Darn-ng needles wore pressed through the

card-board at the points marked by theseirinte. Then the needles were fixed inilace by plaster #>f-Paris; and into thojlaster of Paris was poured melted load,lius forming a handle. The tool so madewas in fact a heavy hammer, with theln'rning needle points projecting from itsa,-,-. Then the whole body of the mys-terious giant was aarerully pecked over.lOspeeial care was used to make the marksjlain and deep under John Henry's nose,n the place where modern giants wear;heir moustaches. Finally, the wholepody had three separate baths of sulphur-ic acid, giving it a rusty, dingy appear-mee, and oarrying tho datu of its originjack at least 2,000 years.

SEEKING A GRAVE.

Now, that the giant was finished, came:.he hardest work of all—that of gettinglim into market—if we may apply amodern phrase to so ancient a subject.This petrified man weighed 2,'JOO pounds,and oven to move it was a great task :but to move it out of the city and awayin secrcsy—there was the rub. But thesame indomitable genius triumphed hereis everywhere previously. The giant, wasmeasured, and a mammoth box of two-inch plank was constructed for him. Lateat night it was taken into the barn, aderrick made, tho image raised and placedin the huge coilln; the lid was spikeddown, and the wholo box was strappedaround and around with sturdy ironstrips one-eighth inch thick and 1 1-2inches wide. The next day John HenryCardiff figured on tho way-bills at thefreight depot under tho direction, " GeorgeOlds, Union, Broome County, New York."Union is the next railroad station west ofBinghamton. Mr. Hull himself came bBinghamton and rejoined his family, af-ter an absence of nine months delexclusively to his mysterious project. Theproblem now was where to bury the gi-ant. It was then tho summer of 1868.At this point it occurred to tho unfailinggenius of our giant builder that he hadan acquaintance, ono Newell, withal ashrewd fellow, living mar Syracuse, N.Y. His residence was in the middle otthat famed '• Onondaga Hollow," whoregeology places an ancient inland sea, andwhere rumor Bpeaks of wonderful fossildiscoveries. To Onoudaga,therefore, wenttho father of giants. He found Newell,gently broached the subjeot to him, anddiscovered that Barkis was willing, andnot only willing but anxious, to get ashare in the proprietorship of the forth-coming wonder. After gome bargainingit was stipulated that Newell should re-ceive on,--eighth interest for his servicesin the affair. On looking over Nfiwell'sfarm, Mr. Hull discovered a spot o.f sunkon ground near the barn, which appto bo the location of an abandoned well."Newell, there's our spot," said AAak,the father of giants; "you commence, awell there, draw stone for curbing, tell allyOUI neighbors that you are going toopen a well there for cattle next summer,and there's our game." Newel] repliedthat he could play that. •'Well, you

want to study on that ono point, and nottoll anybody, not oven your wife." " But,

il, I li.-liivo Newell blowod on ine,"said Hull, in describing the result.

T H E B T / B X A L A X D T l l l i R E S U I U I E C I h i N .

Hull now returned home, and waited aweek I'm- til,- arrival of the giant at Un- Iion. At the end of that t i MI • be seat two imen and four horses for the; big box cm-signed to "George Olds." They loaded

\ on tin- wagon and Btarted forCardiff, some 70 miles distant, The dri-vers of this wagon were relatives of Mr.Hull, ami were good, trusty fellows. Itwax so arranged that they should arrivoat Cardiff iu the night. So, stopping at\,-v all's house about midnight, they un-1 laded the vast box and covered it up ina mass of chaff at the burn door. In thisignoble condition lay tho wonderful giantfor three or four weeks. At the end "ithat time a derrick was finished and ship-pi-:! by railroad to Cardiff. That nightHull and Newell removed tho sleepinggiant from his bed of straw to the " well,"and buried him. Home at last in motherearth. John Hc-nry now awaits th« trumpof the Harvard College professors to wakehim into tho famous antediluvian man.Ho waited just one year. During thewinter, Newell drew stono for buildinghis " well." When curious neighborsmade inquiries he explained something asfollows : '• Waal, you s?e, them cattle ofmine have a denied hard time of gittin'through tho mud to the creek to drink,and I'm goin to have a well for 'em hereat tho barn." Then Mr. Newell proceed-ed in the summer to open his well. Whenthey dug down .a few feet tho giant wasdiscovered lying on his side, just as hehad lain for 2,000 years, by tho verymarks of the earth surrounding. Curiousneighbors returned to gaze. Humor spreadthe report. Citizens of Syracuse camo upiu flocks to seo the wonder. Crowds oncrowds now came to see. Newell sworethat he wouldn't have his grass troddendown any way, and covered up the holoagain. This was too much for human cu-riosity. Tho crowd demanded a sight atthe mysterious giaat, and offered to raisemoney to pay for the destruction of crops.So it finally, naturally, wholly unexpect-edly, you know, came about that 50 centswas charged as an admittance fee. Atthis price over 5,000 persons visitod thegiant daily. A special excursion trainwas run from Rochester. Scientific menpricked up their ears from afar, and came

n crowds, examined, saw the pores in thoskin, saw the very similitude ot nature andpronounced the discovery a fossil. A del-egation from Harvard College finally set-tled it for the country that John Henry

-ardiff was no loss than a preadamitoman, who completely overthrew the OldTestament. Of all the savans who drewnear in awe only ono ventured to doubt.This was a young sandy-haired professorTorn Yale," who pretended to discoverstraws and bits of chaff in the dirt, audto see evidences of recent digging. Butie was speedily suppressed, am! sciencetriumphed '. The giant was now well ontho market—a fact of more interest toMr. Hull than even the victory of sci-ence. Immense offors for shares in theconcern were made by showmen. Theprojector and owner of the giant cameon the ground ton ' > them.

Tho men who bought out the originalshares were Messrs. Weseott, Higgins andGillett, of Syracuse, Spencer, of Utica,and H-innum, oi' Homer, N. V. After-ward, Messrs. Fitofc, anil Ellis k Co.,bankers, in Syracuse, bought anotherighth at 11*5,000: The final eighth was

still owned by the manufacturer, Mr.Hull. He retained this share till April,1871, when he sold it out in ]iWhen asked how much money he hadmade out of the enterprise, he r<that he did imt- care to give the preciseigures, "but that ho had made enough so

that ho wasn't pinched. The expense,"s.iid he' "of getting up the thing till theinal day of planting it at Cardiff wasjust $2,600 ; what I have received above

it is clear gam." When I inquired asto the present whereabouts of the giant,Mr. Hull replied that he did notknow

it where it was on exhibition now; andheaving a sigh at the agony caused himat parting wi.h his pet, he described the

•i ton when he saw it. This wasat New Haven, last spring. His hotellandlord urged him to go down town tosee the greatest wonder of tho age. " Andgo this morning," said ho, " for the pro-EessOFS are just now gone down to exam-ine it." So ho went down. The exhibitor,Gotts, espic.1 the tow,-ring form of thegiant's father, and pointed him out to a^ray-haired professor, who was engagedin examining John Henry beneath a mi-roscope. " That man made this image !"

exclaimed the indignant professor. " \ -cr, that is unless he is more than 1,200years old!" So it seems the giant stillhas his believers.

Corruption of Language.So many persons without anything do-

serving tho namo of education have be-come writers by profession, that writtenlanguage may almost be said to be princi-pally wielded by persons ignorant of theproper use of the instrument, and whoare spoiling it moro and more for thosewho understand it. Vulgarisms, whichcreep in nobody knows how, aro dailydepriving the English language of valua-ble modes of expressing thought. To takea present instance : The verb trantpireioi-molly conveyed very expressively its cor-rect moaning, viz., to ,'«,•«,«,- known throughunnoticed channels—to exhale, as it were,into publicity through invisible pores,like a vapor or gas disengaging itsilf.But of lato a, practice has commenced ofemploying this word for tho sake offinery, as a more synonym to happen;" the events which have transpired in theCrimea," meaning tho incidents of thewar. This vile specimen of bad Englishis already seen by tho dispatches of no-blemen and viceroys ; and tho time is ap-parently not far distant when nobody willunderstand tho word if used in its propersense.

It is a great error to think that thosecorruptions of language do no harm.Those who are struggling with tho diffi-culty (and who know by experience howgroat it already is) of expressing one'sself clearly with precision, find their re-sources continually narrowed by illiteratewriters who seize and twist from its pur-pose some form of speech onco served toconvey briefly and compactly an unam-biguous meaning. It would hardly be!>,-Hived how often a writer is compelledto a circumlocution by the single vulgar-ism, introduced within the last few y.-ars,of using the word alone as an adverb, onlynot being fine enough for the rhetoric ofambitious ignorance. A man will say," to which I am not alone bound by honorbut also by law," unaware that what hehas unintentionally said is, that he is notalone bound, some other person beingbound with him. Formerly, if any onosaid, " I am not alono responsible forthis," ho was understood to mean (whatalone his words mean in correct English)that lie is not the sole person responsible ;but if he now used such an expressionthe reader would bo confused betwoenthat and two other meanings—that he isnot only responsible but something moro ;or that ho is responsible not only for thisbut for something besides. The time iscoming when Tennyson's CEnone couldnot say " I will not dio alono," lest sheshould bo supposed to mean that showould not only die but do somethingelse.

Tho blunder of writing predicate for pre-dict has become so widely diffused that itbids fair to render ono of the n>ost usefulterms iu the scientific vocabulary of logicunintelligible. Tho mathematical andlogical term to eliminate is undergoing asimilar destruction. All who are ac-quainted with either tho proper uso oftho word or with its etymology, know-that to eliminate a thing is to thrust itout; but to those who know nothingabout it, except that it is a fine-lookingphrase, use it in a sense precisely the re-veise—to denote, not turning anythingout, but bringing it in.

Minor Morals for Married People.

" Tho last word " is tho most danger-ous of infernal machines. Husband andwife should no more strive to get it fh inthey should struggle to got possession ofa lighted bomb ihell.

Married people should study each oth-er's weak p iin:s. as skaters look out forthe weak part:; of the ice in order to keepoff them.

The wife is the sun of tho social system.Unless she Attracts there is nothing to keepheavy bodies, like husbands, from flyingoff into space.

Wives, be lenient to the marital cigar.Tho smoke always bides the most disa-greeable part of tho battle.

The wife who would properly dischargeher duties must nover have a soul " abovebuttons."

The liberties of England have boon wonby mutual concessions. Lot tho husbandwho would acquire the privilege of askingfriends to dinner without notice remem-ber this when his wife hints at a new bon-net. The wife's irent is the husband's op-portunity.

Notwithstanding tho assertions ofmathematicians, the marriage ring is acircle which husband and wife have theproblem sot thorn of making all square.—Punch.

The Public Baby.No matter what line you travel, be it

the Western Pacific, the California or theriver steamer, the public baby is alwayson board. It can travel on three lines atonco. Change your car to rid yourself ofthe P. B., and you may find its duplicatein the next, ltcloaso yourself at yourjourney's end from the affliction ; got aroom at tho-hotel ; the public baby is inthe next apartment. Go at night to thetheater, the public baby is in the next

The mission of the public baby oncoining into the world is to growl. Theparents of the public baby deem all thishowling a concord of harmonious sound.They would nokluivo a single note wasted.This is why they manage that it shallalways go off in public. This is why it istaken to the theater—to rip and tear yitothe linest orchestral strains, or insert ascreech into the culminating moment of;he dying scene.

The public baby seems to have a full.lead of ugliness on all tho time. I ex-imined one the other day while comingup here on the cars. When we sifrom Oakland Point, I folt a strangesense of a missing prosonoe. I wonderedit the cause. Ail was soon explained.At San Antonio, the public baby came onDoard. I had forgotten that this littleaaby never missed a trip, nor paid a cent.Then I felt at home.

At first this public baby cried an tlowleil on general principles. It hadn'tis yet discovered any special cause ofgrievance. It cried because it hadn't. Itsittle hands were sticky with somothing ;

its little face was sticky ; it rubbed itsace with its little sticky hands; thetickiness on its face was thus auv.ilga-natcd with tho stickiness on its hands,

and vice versa.Then, when it had prepared this mix-

Gold Leaf.Oao sultry day last summer, when peo-

ple crept about on tho shady sides of thoitreets, and the Boda water and lemonadelien were tho only happy looking per-sons one mot, wo saw a ragged little (al-ow sitting on the sidewalk, in tho fulljlaze of tho sun, watching intentlysomething which was going on down inhe basement of a great building.

' What doos he soo down there ?" Iwondered.

' That is where they make gold leaf,"said my companion. " Let us go and findint. how they do it."

' Will they let us in ? " I asked, doubt-fully, as wo descended tho stairs andpeered into the room.

There was no sign to say " No Admit-tance;" but a very pleasant young man,who mot us at tho door, said it quiteplainly all over his face, though he didnot speak a word. The Little Corporal isi privileged character, and when we ex-plained our errand, tha proprietor cour-leouslv told us all about the process ofmaking i old leaf, such as is used in allthe gilding, lettering, etc.

First they melt the coin; but that isnot pure enough, so they take from it thotlloy, leaving it about 22 carats fine.Then it is rolled out into a flexible ribbonabout an inch in width, not bright, asyou might fancy, but stained and black-ened by tho heat aud charcoal. Theworkman cuts off a bit of this ribbon aninch in length, and places it in the centerof a mold about five inches square, m id Iof loaves of a peculiar kind of tissue pa-per, ill iced ono upon the other.

This paper is obtained from Europe,and is manufactured from tho inner skinof tho intestines of oxen, requiring fivohundred oxen to make enough for onomold, which is valued at sixty dollars.The workman lays his mold, with theinch of gold ribbon in tho- center, upon astone bench, and proceeds to pound itwith a hammer weighing about.sevenpounds, until it gradually flattens andspreads out to the size of the mold, thatis, about four inches square.

As soon as the gold begins to paep outof tho edges, the workman opens his mold,cuts the gold into four pieces with a toolmuch like a pair of tiny, wooden sled run-ners, and then each ot the four pieces isagain beaten, and again divided, untilfrom tho original inch of gold ribbon,which is exactly of the weight of a golddollar, one hundmd leaves are made.Those are put between leaves of tissuepaper, and made into little books, readyfor use, soiling at about one and one-halfcu t s per leaf. It is delicato stuff, andthe workman cannot touch it with hisfingers, but lifts it carefully with somecurious little pincers, or smooths it withhis breath.

The ordinary process of lettering or or-namenting in gold is to brush ovor thodesign with shellac, lay on the gold leaf,and then, with a bit of cotton, wipo offwhat does not adhero. These bits of cot-ton, with their load of powdered gold,used to be thrown away; but now they

, vod, and a way has been found togather up every particle of the preciousmetal and put it to now uses.—Little Cor-poral Magcutine.

Annie Laurie.The birth of this young lady, so well

mown to many of our readers, is quaint-ly recorded by her father, Sir liobertLaurie, of Maxwelltown, in tho familyregister, in thesj words :

' At the pleasure of Almighty God,my daughter, Annio Laurie, was borneupon tho 10th day of December, lo'S2years, about 5 oclock in tho morning, andwas baptized by Mr. Goo. (Hunter, ofGlencairii.")

And his own marriage is given in thesame quaint stylo:

' At the pleasure of tho Almighty, Iwas married to my wife, Jean lliddoll,upon the 27th day of July, 1674, in tho1'i-on Kirk of Edinb, by Mr. Annane"

These statements I find in the valuablecollections of manuscripts left by tho latoMr. W. F. H. Arundoll, and which hisson, W. F. Hunter Arundell, Esq., ofBarjarg Tower, Dumfriesshire, has kindlyillowed me to examine and make uso of..They contain a vast fund of curious infor-mation respecting the antiquities andfamilies of Dumfriesshire. Many of youireaders will know that Annio was wooodby \\ illiam Douglas, of Ningland, in Kil-cudbrightshire. Her charms are thu.-spoken of in his pathetic lyric, '" BonnieAnnie Laurie : "

Origin of the AVord Salnry.Spilling salt was said to bo an unlucky

omen by tbe Konfanfei and tho supersti-tion has descended to ourselves. Leonar-do de Vinci availed himself of this tradi-tion of the " Lord's Supper," to indicateJudas Iscariot by the salt-collar knockedov.-r accidentally by his arm. Salt waiused in sacrifioe by the Groek-s and Ro-mans, and also by the Jews, and is stillmade use of in baptism by the RomanCathoHo clergy. It was an emblem oipurity, and of the sanctifying influenceof others of a holy life ; hence our Lordtells his disciples, '• Ye arc tho salt of theearth." The salt being spilt after it wasplaced on tho head of a victim was con-sidered a bad omen, being supposed tosignify that the sacrifice was not accep-ted ; and honco the superstition. Whenwe say of :i shiftless fellow that ho doenot " earn his salt," wo unconsciously al-lude to an ancient custom among theRomans. Among them a man was saidto bo in possession of a " salary " who hadhis " salarium," his allowance of salt-mon-ey, or of salt, wherewith to savor tho footby which he lived. Thus salary comefrom salt ; and in this view ofthe wonhow many there are who do not " earnthoir salt.'

That tho public lecture is ca-nible of being made a valuable agencyor popularizing useful knowledge SQ.inisirobable, and nobody disputes it—that itlas not done this among us is quite cer-ain. People do not like to be inveiglednto either learning or good manners, andf tho attempt is made upon them they-ither reject the whole, or, like childrenvho read pious romances, they read tholory, but "skip" the application.

High-Heeled Hoitis. Chinese Feet andCrooked Shius.

It is worthy of note that while n ma-lignant hatred of Cliiii.Me,individually, isfomented under cover of hostility to theirimmigration our females have fallen inlove with Chinese oostunies and customs,iu somo respeots, and accepted them asmodols. The pit-t uivs of Chinese ladies,to which ono has been accustomed formany years, bear a close resemblance totho American bello of tho present day.The rupuUiivo hump, tho crippled feet,and tho mincing gait of our womon, ifthey do not fortify the Darwinean theoryof the origin of the species from monkeys,at least givo tho appuuvuueo of retrograd-ing monkey-wards. Tho dross, uncouthmid deforming as it is, would not of itselfdeserve notice ; but the high heels, crip-pling the font and distorting the limbs,ire un outrage of grace and anatomy, onhumanity, entitling tho authors, couldthey bo detocted, to criminal responsi-bility. A convention of corn-doctors, intho interest of their trade, could not de-

•io a scheme for good times. Womenwhoso pedals are solidified may escapewith only corns, of which wo hope andpray they may havo a full and tendercrop. But that a whole generation oflittle girls should have their toes jammedinto the points of their boots, to do thowork of heels, and their legs should bothrown out of tho natural balance, andthe plient bones bent into scmi-circlos, isa sacrifice to fashion which would dis-graco a nation of Hottentots. Should thewicked custom hold a few years, therewill not be a decent foot, or un tusthoticleg in the female population, exceptumong washer-women and the like. Andail this is a trifle compared with the mis-chief done to the pelvis, spine, and chest,by tho constrained attitudo which theabnormal elevation of the hod must ofnccessityi nduce. Fashion is at best acruel tyrant ; but tho wholo history ofher capricious rule does not exhibit agrosser violation of natural laws, and amoro unpardonable assault on the beautyand health of woman, than the inventionof high heeled boots.— Pacific MedicalJournal*

How to lie I'olite.Do not try too hard to'be polite.Nover overwhelm your friends by beg-

ging them t j make themselves at home,or they will soon wish they were there.Show by your actions rather than yourwords that you arc glad to see thorn.

Havo enough regard for yourself totreat, your greatest enemy with quiot po-liteness. All petty slights aro merelymeanness, and hurt yourself more thanany one else.

l)o not talk about yourself ov yourfamily to tile exclusion of other topics.What if you arc clever, and a little moreso than other people, it may not be thatother folks will think so, whatever, theyought to do.

It may bo interesting to you to talkovor your ailments, but vory tirosome forothers to listen to.

Make people think you consider themclever ami agreeable, and they will bepretty apt to havo a pleasant impressionof yourself.

Tn-at people just as you would like tohavo them treat you.

It is much easier to lose the good opin-ion of pooplo than to regain i t ; and wh nany one does not care for the good opinionof others, he or she is not worthy of re-spect.

Do not excuse your house, furniture, orthe table you set before your guests. Itis fair to suppose that, their visits are toyou, not to yi.-ur surroundings.

The whole machinery of social inter-course is very delioate and intricate, andit is our business to keep all places of

lie friction well supplied with tho011 of politeness.—Qermantown Telegraph,

Tho Egotist.Tho greatest pest of society is tho.

ogotist, whose constant uso of the vowolI " renders himself anything but an

agreeable companion, and if you are notill-bred enough to tell him that his con-versation is not agreeablo to you, youmust hour h'm to tho,end. .

If ho is an author, he will continue toring in your cars how many periodicalshe contributes to, how high ho is paid forbis articles, how much the editors thinkof I'ihi, and how many papers copy hisproductions. But you will never find himto bo candid enough to tell you when helias an article rejected. That is not theegotist's nature. He can find plenty offault with other people's brain-wdrlc: butnono with his own. if you good-natur-edly point out his short comings, youmake an enemy of him, and in his shal-low brain ho puts you down as a personwithout judgment or taste.

If the egotist be a professional singer,he will always desire to "warble" a fewsongs befoie you. His wholo conversa-tion is about the reputation he has, andwhat tho press and public gay about him.There was a case of a singer, who wastraveling through one of our large States,and, putting on a great many bragga-docia air3, asked a person if ho had neverread any of tho notices of his performan-ces. Tho other answered that ho had,and forthwith produced a paper. It wasn'ta very complimentary notice, as you willsee : " We have heard Mr. D sing,and wo have heard an owl hoot. We pro-fur the owl." Any one but an egotistwould have boon taken down by that, butnot so with the singer. He pronouncedit all the work of a rival, who wanted to

was, andbo as great a singer as hocouldn't.

But, egotism is not confined entirely topublic life. It pervades the domesticcircle as well. You'll find motherspraising up their own children, much totho detriment of others, until one wouldimagine hers were quite a model to fol-low. If hor Bob docs so, it must be right,and she can see no impropriety in any-thing her Grace docs. Can you wonderthat tho children put on airs, and thinkthemselves perfection, when such iieashave been engrafted into them ever sincethey can remember.

It is natural we should think more ofour kith and kin, but it is the hight ofrudeness to boast about them. We alllike praiso; it encourages us to do better;but how it spoils all a person's talentsaud merits for him to brag about them.

There must bo plenty of other topics ofconversation to talk about in this worldthan ourselves, so wo should not have tofall back upon that. I had rather havofor a friend tho dryest conversationalistthan ono oaton up with egotism.—ChicagoDemocrat.

How L'rotection Protects.Tho summer tourist who goes out to

Shirley Point, noar Boston, to partuke ofTaft's celebrated fish-dinners, will notfail to observe a certain extensive ruinthere situate. It is a group of buildings,comprising, within a lofty incloiure, aset of copper-smelting works, and a longrow of dwellings and work-shops; infact, a villaga of apparently 200 or 300inhabitants, for whose labor tho works,and for whoso lodgment the dwellings,had been elaborately and systematicallyconstructed. But not a single soul nowtenants shop, factory, or dwelling. Allis as deserted as Goldsmith's " Auburn."Tho east wind whistles through the un-glazed windows of tho cottages, bats flitthrough tho doors, and owls hoot dismal-ly in the deserted belfry of the factory.And as the " loveliest village of tho plain"was dc?populatod by tho oppression of atyrannical monarch, so this village bythe sea has beon despoiled through theworkings, of a law of Congress passed to" protect American Industry." In plainwords, tho ruin of Shirley Point is amournful monument of the present tar-iff. A few years ago, the village at Shir-Icy Point was doing a thriving businesssin'king copper orts, and the villagerswore living comfortably off the wages ofi men employed in the works, when

Something' About Grant.

It is rarely that ono can moot a Ec-publican, who is not a Federal official,or who is not in somo manner enjoyingthe fruits of party spoils, who favors there-nomination of President Grant, Near-ly all tJie Radical papers oppose him, andit is safe to say that two-thirds of his par-ty would prefer some other candidate.—Those aro facts very generally admitted,and yet no one doubts that the next Na-tional Republican convention will swal-low Mr. Grant as easily as a congressmanwill forget his oath of offico or sell hisvote to a tariff monopolist. In fact, thohonest men in the Republican party areno longer able to control its acts or evenrecord their own wishes. They have al-lowed themselves to drift along in thowako of designing leaders until they havono power to assert their individuality.They are bound hand and foot, and Pres-ident Grant is their absolute dictator.Congress has given him power to fill allthe business centers with United Statestroops and enforce his will at the pointof tho bayonet. Already tho work hascommenced." Soldiers armed with re-peating rifles and the terrible mitrailleus,forced the appointment of Grant delegatesfrom Louisiana. Tho same power existsin tho other States, aud who will assertthat there is no probability of its beingbrought into uso f Tho Federal arm}- isbeing used as an engine of politicalpower, and it can control tho Nationalconvention as easily as it did a State con-vention. Grant's renomination may bolooked upon as a fixed fact, and the Re-publicans who do not admiro him may aswell set their house in or.I >r. Those whohave not the independence ami courageto sever their party shackle I are like theman who had the boar by the tail.

NIGHT OF TEUKOIt.

An Eyc-Witnpss to the Chicago f onfla-gration.

CHICAGO, Oct. 0.

THE EVE>T:KG OK THE OUTBREAK.At half-past nine last evening ft fire

broke out in a stablo on Fourteenth St.,on tho west side. The wind was blowingfrom tho southward a peifect gale. Aperson could not stand against this fiercewind without bracing himself firmly, andhats had to bo held beneath tho arm orcrushed upon the head and held there bytho hand. Tho night was clear, and thetwinkling stars were plaiuly visiblothrough .the hazy atmosphere.

THE ALARM.The dread alarm bells struck terror to

the citizens in the immediate vicinity.The firemen were exhausted from theirlabors of the previous night. Consequent-ly before the drowsy firemen had reachedthe scene of the conflagration it hadspread with such rapidity that three en-tire blocks were southing in flames. Thofiremen, all worn out as they were withthe weary labors of the night and morn-ing before, worked manfully to extin-guish the flames.

The engines took various positions inthe front and on the sides of tho fire.They poured unceasing streams of waterupon the burning buildings—they wettedthe roofs and sides of buildings in thoadvance of the flames, and as they retiredfrom one hydrant to another they stillliept working vigorously. But with allthese best eftbrts the flames kept gainingrapidly. The air was filled with flyingcinders which—hurled aloft by the fierceintensity of tho breeze—eddied and float-ed in the firmament, and fell again to thoearth three and four blocks distant. Thesecinders drifted about tho cornors ofstreets and alleys like snow under theeffects of a winter's breeze. They ignitedtho sidewalks and whole rows of build-ings at once. I t was impossible to pro-tect tho city from these advance skir-mishers of the fire-fiend. They rattledupon roofs and against windows, im-pelled by the gale, and wherever onostruck in an instant a flame appeared.Terrified at the rapidity with which thflames spread, tho people hastily threwout into the streets what household good;the}' could, and with valuables in theihands stood gazing as if stupefied at th<destruction of their homes.

At about the hour of ten, it being then»etn that the flames, despite the efforts ofthe firemen, could not be held in checkevery bell in the city, fire bells, churchbells, school house and engine bells began ringing. Tho object was to arousethe sleeping populace that thoy mighbring, as best they could, their goods tia place of safety. Drays and exprewwagons hastened through tho streets,ladened with all imaginable sorts o;goods, and drove hurriedly toward thelake side near the park.

Sick and decreped parsons woro unceremoniously thrown upon the tops obeds and almost battered to pieces bBurling of bandboxes, china ware, port-manteaus, clocks, looking glasses, dollbabies, poodle dogs, umbrellas, birdoages, musical instruments, silver ware,smoothing irons, .and all sorts of house-hold truck. Fainting women, half cladwomen, screaming women, and evenlaughing and dancing women, lined thewalks. Shouts and yells for express mento transport these helpless women andchildren, mingled with the indescribablenoise from the roaring of the flames, the•whistling of the engines, the howling oftho wind, clangor of bells, trumpet soundsof the firemen and the hurly burley inthe streets were the noises that added tothe confusion of tho scene.

Tho saloons all closed at eleven o'clocka measure that met with approval fromall citizens. Among all this confusionthe police force were everywhere to be metwith. Human nature in its most selfishaspects, and in glaring contrast, the mostself sacrificing heroism was displayedon every street. Undoubtedly a consid-erable amount of thieving was carried on,bat public attention was not called to it,e :cept in one instance on South Clarkstreet where a party of three ruffians hav-ing a fourth confederate in an expresswi^on, entered a house and began car-rying out various articles which they de-posited in their wagon. The owner of theHouse, taken by surprise, thought theywere sympathizing neighbors who hadcome to his relief, but, on seeing themabout to drivo off, he raised an outcry.The thieves were captured and summarilykicked by the indignant crowd, and thewagon taken possession of by a patrolman.Many dealers in. articles of clothing andof groceries, seeiug it was impossible tosave their stocks, gave to tho crowd freepermission to help themselves, a privilegemany availed themselves of to secure asuit of clothes or a hat. After all, themain impulse of the public seemed to be ades re to save what they could of the city.B ..idings were torn down in the vain ef-fort to stay tho flames, but as was said be-ioru the flying cinders were driven in ad-vance by the hurricane, which apparent-ly increased in force, rendered all effortsuseless. By midnight the flames hadspread in a direct line forward over threemiles oi houses. Nothing can be said

• that would describe adequately the un-paralleled intensity of tho firo. A buil-ding seemingly fire-proof would catch liroand in ten minutes time the roof, with afoarful crush, would fall in, sending up athickening storm of sparks • and cinders,that, alighting on fresh territory, wouldB >o i give nptice of thsir rapidly germi-mting s-'cU by immense volumes of flame.

1'UJ firmament, glowed with them, Thol3;v 'ing flames, as they licked up somem 'en than usually inflammable substanceia diug stores, would arise to steeplo. .eights m the heavens and shed a luridglare upon the whole city. The clouds ofbmoko rolled away to the northward, anduil around the sphere of fire the intensedarkness of the sky addod, by contrast, tothe terrors of the scene.

On. Clark street a new pavement of ce-dar blocks and tar had just been put downand t'.ie s t r e t waa only partially open tothe public, although the pavement wascompleted. I t caught fire and instantan-eo i i y from one end of tho street to thea.'ier iurce flames broke out. It was ap irfeot channel of fire.

8011: of the moro fortunate pedestri-an > upon that street made their escape in-t , alleys and cross streets, somo of thornh iving tho clothes burned off their backs,so sudden and violent was tho ignition ofthe pavement, ami no spontaneously fierce•wore the flumes. It is known that somepenonsin tbis street were unable to es-cape, and asphyxiated and rendered sense-less, fell unexpected victims to tho flames.In tlic tall builrtings on either side manyclerks had their hxigiugs. Somo of thuscmade their escape half chid. Others, whohad during the day indulged in dissipa-tion and had retired to bud, stupefied byexcesses, did not awaken in time, andperished before assistance could be ren-cl'orcd. Two young men, it is said, ap-pealed from a fourth story window to theimpotent bystanders for rescue from thefurnace of liurcc heat that wrapped thethe building. No relief was possible. Inanother moment the roof fell upon them,tho walls tottered in, and they found thoirdeath and burial place in tho heaps erfashes. Just how many persons met theirfate in this manner it is impossible to say.Tlie wildest rumois were cunont, butamid the unparalelled excitement every-where surrounding the scene but littleheed was given to these stories, mid noefiort ma<Ao to ascertain their truth.

The uproar inoreii&ed, the flumes spread,the firemen became despairing, the shoutsand clamors of the womon aud childrenand the roar of the flames filled the air.Two fire engines in the South Division be-came surrounded by the flames, ami were;left to their fate, the jaded firemen beingunable to bring them out. As tho dan-ger bemuse imminent, and hopes of sav-ing tho business portion of the city lyingbetween tho river, the south branch andtbela^e, were abandoned, the proprietorsof hotels aroused their guests and warnedthem that tho only prospect of escapingv, ith their lives lay in immediate, flight,

This was between tint hours of twelvemd one. Now to add fresh terrors to theerne were heard repeated explosions,funding like a continual cannonade.

Drug and liquor stores, and places where)il was stored, burned and imrsT, and fear>'powder—happily but a fear—-took pos-cssion of the multitude. At the Tremont

Houso the elevator became uaeleu, andlu- sleeping guests, a largo number being

babies, hurried downstairs. The oltttterof the removal of trunks and the bosryktgof domestics impeded the pa lags ways.Several persons in thoir eagerness jumpeddown the stairs and hurried and limpedaway. Others in their haste left beneaththeir pillows watches and money, onlydiscovering their losses when they hadreached tho Michigan Central depot—then supposed to be a perfectly safe lA crowd of persons hastened thither, somecarrying beds, some sowing machines, andono lady had six canary birds in a <•one hand, and in the other im immensefamily Biblo. She said, " I was determined to bring these off if I lost nil tfierest." Another young woman was seencarrying two largo paintings, ovidentlythose of her father and mother. Whp wasbut partially clad, and amongst all herhousehold wealth sought to preserve thesefilial xiementoes as being to h-or moatprecious.

Tho tug boats were busy towingout into the lake where they anchored oft'the burning city. Mnny per?on« soughtrefuge on these vessels, and the little plriis-uro boats kept about the newly made parkbetween the Michigantrack and the original

Central Kailroaillake chore were

many of them employed in transportingpersons and goods to the vessel 9'anchoredwithout. One large bnrk being towod outwas caught by some Hying cinders anc'went down the river her masts and cordage enveloped in flames. She was drawnout into the lake and there, it is supposedscuttled, as in a short time no vestige ofher was seen.

The shower of cinders increased as thrwind grew in power after midnight, antcinders as large ns apples were hurled fora distance of half a mile before strikinpthe earth. Tho air had the appearattOof being full of fiery rockets and shoot-ing flames.

The file at this hour had acquired ncircumference of over two miles. Iwrithed in and out in sinuosities like .1serpent. If tho crowd of safety-seekingwretches had been large before, it nowappeared to be doubled. "Wcwion pped to passengers upon the walks for as-sistance to rumors thoir goods, and numerous hooks t»nd c-xprrM wagoni CHIT}-ing fainting women r.ntl pick poisons.hurriedly drove by. The horses wcrs wildwith affright, and lenjyr i nsd pranced arvJ

shyed as if conscious of the miwry n»devastation that the clr-ments were hes»j»-ing on the city. The fire worked towardthe lake down Michigan nrenn*, and fromthence to the north hide of the river. A'2 o'clock all the hri'li:^ w«re eonsumedThe showers of yvrtitvlly consumed sparkand dust and ashes fell upon the muUitudes until not » fnoe but wa* bUckenodto an Ethiop's hue.

The Cro.->by (>|»cra Hoti"R, tho Tremontthe Shormnn, Wood'* Museum, Hobley'lOpera HOUHP, find nearly everything onthe north side of Luko street was com-pletely licked np or titled by the flamesThe court house, having an iron roof, wa?thought to be fire-proof. Between sixtyand seventy prisoners were confined inthe cells in the busoment. At this timit was known that the water stipplr hacfailed, the water-works being gone. Tinfiremen had ceased their labors, and apa-thy and despair had t.iken posi.-jsion ofthe citizens. The proprietor of t» lurgjewelry store on Luke street, erased ;vthe prospect of his inevitable losses, inlocked the doors of his building and califou the crowd to help him carry his stucinto the street. The rushing throng hastened into the store and carried out ric"silver ware, costly clocks and trays cvarious kinds of jewels. These were deposited in the center of tho street, buthere is too much ground for belief tlnvthe coveted booty was more the purpose othe crowd than any desire to save the jeweler's stock.

A large number of people had gathereabout the court house and clamored fV>the turnkey to appear and release thprisoners. He showed himself and arnounced that the building was perfoctlfire-proof, no hann could result to thosconfined therein, and he should not releaso the convicts. An individual denounced in a shrill voice, this barbaritof the turnkey, and at once a tcrriblroar of " lynch tho damned rascal" outbellowed the howling of the wind, thflames, and the momentary explosionthat had grown so frequent as to be v.nngarded. The turnkey fled in dismay ancould not bo found, although pin-suit w;made. In answer to the tunmltuovroaring of the mob the prisoners sit uphowl, subdued by the thick walls, bunone tho loss appalling. In twenty mixutes faom that time the court housein flames, and without doubt the soventconvicts were burned. [Tho convicts weriafterward released.—ED.]

What was done at tho other iiistitutions in which prisoners were confinedcould not ascertain.

The night woro slowly away. I t seemed as if morning would never dawn. A:moro and more a sense of the terrible cilamity became apparent, as the wind continued u:nibated, and as the Lurid fbtinesrread in an impregnable line of milein length forward,, many persons thre\themselves on their knees in the streetand prayed for heavenly succor. A halfmad enthusiast mounted a pile of furnture in Dearborn street and began ^ r.imbliug discourse, in which he prophesiethat tho day of judgment was at hamand called on all to make their peacwith God. He was regarded by sompractical citizens as a crazy man eeoapeifrom confinement, and a hose was directed upon him. A sudden drenchinglenced the fanatic, and he departedfind a more complacent audience.

At 4 o'clock the gas works blew upand every house was left in darknesTho explosion shook tho whole city anaroused new terror. Down at the varioudepots all night long tho locomotivwere busy drawing out rolling Stock anfreight. Most of the freight stored ithe Michigan Central depot was brouglto a x>lace of safety, and all of their roiling stock brought beyond the reach otho flames.

No breakfast could be had in tho etitincity, as tho means of cooking had beedestroyed with the hotels, and privatfamilies gave no thought to v.-U:.should wit, being bent only on savintheir effects.

Ten thousand people, with immenspiles of household goods, were congrogited on the luko shore as the mornmdawned. These people had saved buvery little provisions, aud tho crieschildren arose in ono long lumentinwail.

No newspapers wero issued from anprinting office this morning. Tho citwas without news—nor needed it anIt was a scene of misery. The flamestill roaring, the air full of cinders, tilexplosions still constant, t io water sup-ply exhausted the firt men. worn out, totiro engines idle, tho tnrong of fleeingcitizens increasing, the wind still blowingfieroel}, the smoke still drifting to thenorthward, the roar of tho flames stillhoard abovo all, the cries and complaintsof the populace still resounding, andnought silenced buttho bolls.

TUE EDITOR "OX THE FLY."SUMMIT, }!<">., )

October <Jth, 1871. fDEAR AROUS READER :

You ask where and what i» Lee's Hum-nit, how did you get there, and whatho attraction ? Let us answer" one qucs-ion at a time. Lee's Summit is on thofiesouri Pacific Railroad,—all the rail-oada in this section, completed, begunir oonceived, havo u "Pacific" hitchedn to their names somehow, and all towns;rading tho same have a " Pacific Hotel,"

—259 miles from St. Louis, and 22 milesi-oin Kansas City, of which aspiring cityt expects to be a suburb one of theso

days. That's ic'urc. WoW, ""what?" I ts a three or four year old town of 800 in-habitants, surrounded by a fino agricul-tural country, but just now doesn't boastof any " great expectations," not beingmarked on the maps as a " railway cen-ter," in which exemption it is almostalono. As to " how ? " Wo came iirst bytho Michigan Central to Chicago, leav-ing home on tho 10:2o a. m. train, Mon-day, October 2d, aud reaching Chicagolit about 7 P. jr. Tho rido was of coursei comfortable and pleasant one, and noth-ing was seen to no to except the fires ragng along the entire line after turning

tho head of Lake Michigan, sweeping un-ierbrush, fences, stacks of straw andgrain, outbuildings and every thingiii theirway. Similar fires were also ssen inWestern Iowa, and in Minnesota andWisconsin are reported very destructive.

Our stay ia Chicago was short, and sono notes were taken, though progressand improvement Were noted on everyside. At 10:4» A. M. Tuesday wo foundourself comfortably seated in tho PullmanPalace and Drawing Room " City ofQuincy," our " hat chalked " through toOmaha, and were soon out on the broadIllinois prairies. Our route was by theChicago, Burlington and Quincy road toBurlington, thence by the Burlingtonand Missouri River road to Omstha. Onthe former road we passed throughAurora, Mendota, Princeton, Galveston,Galesburgh, and other thriving prairiecites and towns, reaching and crossingthe Mississippi at Burlington at 7:05 p.Burlington is a thriving city of over 15,-000 inhabitants, beautifully located on anelevated plateau between the river andthe bluffs, and besides being a railroadcenter is an extensive manufacturingplace. We regretted that neither d ay-light nor a few hours leisure permitted usto " do " it,

Steaming it through. Iowa in the nighwe wero Unable to make observations un-til daylight found us near Red Oak junc-tion, at which point passengers for lowerNebraska and Kansas are called upon tochange care. Tho Missouri River bottomis struck at Pacific Junction, from whiclpoint the Burlington and Missouri Rivercars run up to Omaha, or the landing op-posite, over the tho Kansas City, St. Joseph and Council Bluffs road. And wliiliwe are running tho 19 miles lot us gcback to say that a Pullman dining Mlwas taken on at Galesburg, in Which passengers wore suppercd without baingcompelled to bolt unmasticated food a:at eating stations. Another commissarycar was attached to the train in illnight, in which breakfast w.is served. Thbill of faro included beefsteaks, broiledchicken, mutton chop, other meats, vege-tables, &c, well cooked and served iifirst-class hotel style. The traveler, afte:taking his leisurely meal, wonders \vh;tho example of tho Burlington and Mis

souri River road is not followed by otherroads.

Wo arc now at Omaha—or oppositewith the " Big Muddy " between, and evexatious and soulless " transfer company " in lieu cf a bridge us at BurlingtonIt is 9:15 A. M., but it takes an hour anda dollar to get across tho river and to ahotel. All travelers utter a prayer for aspeedy completion of the bridge and anend of this delay and robbery—for thcharges of the ferry and omnibus lin" aplittle better than robbery. CounciBluffs was passed throe miles back <>i' tliriver. This claims 10,000, aud askingwhore such a population was put, wiwire told that they wore hid in the rav

and back on tho bluffs. This cit;will take a new and vigorous start whenthe bridge is completed and the U. Pdepots established on the cast side.

We tarried at Omaha until Thursdaymorning, taking a general surveyof its streets, and from the bluffs gotting a fine view of both its business amresident quarters. I t is a fifteen year olicity, and the "oldest inhabitant" or" first settler " was pointed out to us.—Omaha has some fino business blocks, anda public school building, standing on the"old Capitol" site, is approaching com-pletion which, in external appearanceand accommodations, bears testimonyboth to liberality and taste. Wo also ob-served many fine residences botli on thebluffs and in the lower town. Just now"dul l" is the report, but much is expec-ted from tho completion of the bridge—which is not very near. It is (,ur opinion,however, that the bridge wil give the ad-vantage to Council Bluffs, and that Oma-ha will have to light hard to prevent itsovei'-the-river rival from taking the lead.Its present population is a little in excossof 1 1,000.

We are called at 3:45 A. If. Thursday, toget to a 0:50 train over the river, at whichhour we are comfortably seated in a St.Joseph built car, for a ride down the riv-er to Kansas City. The day is a beautiful one, and we get a fino shower in theafternoon. Our route is along the Mis-souri bottom, now hugging the bluffs andnow tho liver, now through broad wastesof native and coarse prairie grass, nowbroad cornfields, and now fields of hemp.AVe get a distant view of Nebraska City,Atchisou, Loavciiworth, and other ovor-the-river towns, but having a horror of

• delay and greed of " transfer compa-nies," make nostops. The Missouri townsof which we get a nearer view arc St.Joseph, a thriving city of 32,000 inhabi-tants, and Weston, noted as the placefrom which the " border ruffians " in unte-war times raided upon Kansas, and atwhich ox-Senator AXCHISOF made his fa-mous speech' and "fired tho northernheart." The ex-Senator still lives about•2o miles back from Weston, taking nopart in public affairs.

Kansas City is reached at 4:40 r. M.,aud without a delay of five minutes wo

are off lor this place, where we tarry for a !few days with friends. Saturday wo tooka long rido over the rolling prairies sur-rounding this little village, and discov-ered upon what it is to thrive. A betterwheat, audocrn, and fru t producing n -•41011 is probably not to bo found in thegroat West, or, moro properly speaking,in this central portion of the continent,for they talk of " going west "tho samehere as in Michigan. The season is veryIry. Wheat is coming up here and there,but rain is needed before the fields willput on their green livery. Wo see hun-ireds of acres of standing corn, tho earsFrom which are to be picked, the stalksbroken down by driving a team throughho fields attached to a long and heavypole, and then burned over to makeready for plowing. Stubbles are grownip to weeds three and four feet high, whichalso arc to bo bui-ned and put iuto corn.The land is rich and productive, brings a

ood wheat or corn crop the first year,and is cultivated without the use of theboo. One man and a team will make 50acres of corn. Just now prices of landsand produce are down, and the tide ofemigration is pushing further: SouthernKansas being the Mecca. But we aregetting prosy as well as tedious.

To-day wo propose to visit Kansas City,and in another letter will let our readershoar some of its wonders, for it is repor-ted to Lave such.

CHICAGO.Before this number of the AROXJS shall

have reached its readers, they will havelearned the painful details of tho calamitythat has befallen tho once beautiful cityof Chicago. One hundred and ten thou-sand people rendered homeless and with-out provisions; three hundred millionsof dollars worth of property, the accu-mulation of years, destroyed as it were ina single day—these, and the loss of fivehundred lives, are the most appalling fea-tures, at which the comprehension standsin awe. All endeavors at comment mustprove futile, all languago fail to convoyany idea of tho terrible conflagration.

Even if Chicago wero all that felt thoblow, that fact alone, in view of the vast-ness and tho terrible nature of the catas-trophe, would bo sufficient to appall themind and make the heart stand still.But with, all her industries prostrated, hermillions upon millions of capital utterlydestroyed, tho entire commerce of thocountry must be in no small degree, andin no salutary manner, affected by thefearful disaster. The commerce of Chi-cago extended to every portion of thejand; she had business relations, involv-ing untold millions of dollais, with everycity in tho United Stutos. How manyinsurance companies, not singly but col-lectively, could long osciipe insolvencyunder liabilities of over two hundredmillions of dollars ? Certain it is thatfor a long time every business interest ofthe country must suffer severely. Aswhen one member of tho body is sudden-ly pained the sensation extends to others,even so must this blow to the great me-tropolis of the West hang an ominouscloud over the length and breadth of theland.

That which, but a week ago, was a glo-rious monument of industry, a mightytriumph of civilization and progress, thevery center of our Western World—forChicago icK-i, we cannot now say is, to tho

what New York is to the East—amagnificent metropolis, teeming with avigorous activity which made it the rivalof moro than one city both East and"West—that which, but ono short week

majority for tho last fifteen years—thoughtthey would interfere. And they did in-terfere, and pass laws for tho governmentof that city, and under thoso lawshave the frauds been committed. Theyare the direct fruits of tyrannical legisla-tion by a Republican legislature. HadNew York city b en allowpd to governitself there would undoubtedly have beenno frauds and all of this political capitalwould have been spoiled. As it is, it doesnot seem in good tasto for Republicans tosay much, for many of their own partyseem to bo members of the " ring," andthe six Republican supervisors, appointedunder the odious laws imposed by Albanylegislation, have not yet cleared theirskirts.

FIRKS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.The devouring dementis reaping a ter-

rible harvest tins fall, sweeping throughforests, cities and villages with almostlightning rapidity, and leaving in itstrack black wastes, desolation and misery.Scarcely a paper roaches us but containsaccounts of some new ravages done by thefire fiend ; some human beings left home-less ; some valuable property destroyed.

Monday's dispatches brought us tho in-telligence that the littlo settlement atGrand Junction, Where the Kalamazoo &South Haven and Chicago & MichiganLake Shore Railroads cross each other,Was totally annihilated — eating-house,depot buildings, water tank, everythingswept away, while the woods in the wholewestern part of tho State wero on fire inevery direction.

The Wednesday morning papers statedthat White Rock, Forestville, Elm Creek,and Cato, situated upon Lako Huron,were entirely destroyed, and hundreds ofpeople left without shelter or provisions.Around tho Saginaws, tho utmost exer-tion only saving tho cities from burning,while at Bay City and Portsmouth severalfires have occurred, and the employees inthe mills are kept a large portion of f hetime employed in preserving the property.Along the lines of all our northern rail-roads the woods havo been reported onfire, and in many instances houses, mills,barns and crops were burned, and peoplehave had to leave their all and fleo fortheir lives.

And the scene itself. Who that saw itnot can form any conception of it 'i Whothat witnessed it can find language ade-quate to describe it ? With all its terri-ble magnificence, that fatal eruption ofVesuvius which, eighteen hundred yearsago, placed beyond the scope of humanvision the cities of Herculaaeum andPompeii, could not have been a muchmoro awful spectacle than tho burning ofChicago. Those cities fell in the primeof their glory and their pride. So withChicago. We can not read, tho graphicdescription which wo publish to-day andrefrain from making the comparison. Wefear, however, that that description failsof justice to the s< eno.

Compared to this, Portland was a merebonfire—Montreal but little more.

How spontaneous and generous the re-sponse to the call for relief The cry ap-peals to the very soul of a Christian poopie, and is not unheeded. Every city,town and village in tho land will raise,and echo, and re-echo tho note of heart-felt sympathy, and outstretch the help-

Across thegreat water, too—from London and fromLiverpool—comes an answer to the cry.GOD speed them all.

Mayor's Proclamattoh, Etc.The terrible conflagration at Chlcagi

created intense excitement throughout thecity, anil woke up our citizens to the danIter from lire to which we are exposed#

Xeurly every well and cistern in the plact.Is dry, and water Is (llmost a luxury. Ex-treme precautionary measures being necessary, the Mayor Issued the following Tuesday morning:

MAYOR'S PROCLAMATION.In view ol the dry nature ofallthatls

comouslib!e, the great scarcity of water,and the consequent Inadequate protectionagiinst lire, I deem It my duty to warn a 1citizens of the necessity ol extreme watch-luliR'ss and care in all chat pertains to danger from Ore An extrn force of marshalswill be put in service, with Instructions toforbid, under penalty, all smoking on thestreets, the tiring of leaves, or other pract ces calculated to endanger the propertyof eitisioiis. The Mayor calls upon allijodd citizens to aid him In averting the ca-lamities that are being viuited upon manytowns and cities that are better protectedfrom the ravages of the devouring clementthan Our own.

3. H. DOUGLASS, Mayor.AXN Aunou, Oct. Oth, 1871.The requests of the Mayor were Very

generally obeyed, and the young men—some old men also—who are lovers of theweed, pisplayed a commendable streak ofself-denial in refraining from the use of thecigar and pipe.

In this connection, It would certainlynot be nut of place to bring up the quest/.onof the Holly Water Works. Will thecitizens, now that they fully realize thclinger to to which the city is exposed,rom thc devouring element, not take holduul make a move lo this matter? So muchlas been said in these columns in regard tohis, tiiat it seems hardly necessary to reit-rate the arguments already given. Every

citizen knows that we ovghl to have them ;

every citizen knows that we can, havc them;nd every citizen should appoint himself a

committee of one to inaugurate amovenent looking to their erection. Thc quesion does not seem to be, can the city affordhein? but rather, sau it afford to be witl -mt them?

Thc Monday Evening Meeting.A meeting wa? called at the Court House

in Monday evening, to devise ways andneans to assist the sufferer? at Chicago, atwhich there was a good attendance and aiberal spirit manifested. The Mayor wasailed to the chair, and Mr. WIOKKMANXlected Secretary. The object of the nicct-ng was briefly stated by ft. E. FHAZEK)

nd business was then entered upon with avill. A committee was appointed to soicit subscriptions aud receive such suppliess might be offered ; as also other necessaryominittees. The committee onsubscripions and supplies consists of It. E. FHAEK, C. H. MILLER, E. DOFFHT, W. W.VOTES, and C. MACK. Subscription papersvere then put in circulation, and nearly1,000 raised before adjournment. Duringlie evening the Ann Arbor Dramatic As-oeiation offered to play " Under the Gas-ight" free' of charge upon the followingvening. Their services were accepted, aslso the free use of the Opera House, andree lighting of it. A resolution was alsoassed inviting the cooperation of the stuents of the University in this work ofharity

Council Proceed ings.An adjourned meeting of thc Common

Council was held at Firemen's Hall Tues-ay evening.Present, entire council, with the excep-

ion of four.The side-walk committee reported in fa-

ror of constructing a sidewalk on the westide ol Division street, between Jeffersonnd Hanover Square. Which report was

accepted, and walk ordered.Several bills were then allowed, after

vhich were passed the folio (ringBttOLUTIOm :

Retotoad, That Aid Qottand the City At-orney be appointed a cj.nmittee to Inves-lgate the matter ol" burning fluids andither combustibles now belnirsold in theity, and report at next meeting.Rooked, That the Mayor have authority

o appoint a night police.Reaote'd, lhat a committee of three be

ppointed to take Into consideration theuistion of employing policemen.The following were appointed such com-

nittee : Aid. Porter, Peek, and Lt-land, towhom was also added the Mayor.

The old fire ordinance, not allowing theotincil power to give permission for therection of wooden buildings within theire limits, was so amended as to give such>owcr.

Fire and Fire Limits.We understand that the Common Coun-

:il, at their meeting on Tuesday last, virually repealed the ordinance of Firejiinlte by rendering it of such a flexible.character as will make it of little account.This was done to enable them to pass a

resolution permitting the erection of awooden barn lo thc west of the GregoryHouse. A resolution to that effect wasoffered and would doubtless have beentassed had it not been declared out of

order by the Mayor; but which will be inorder at the end of two weeks. We sur-

est that it would be well for every proper-ty holder In Ann Arbor to look to this mat.ter before it is too late, and avert thej;reat calamity of a general conflagration.

• I

Many former residents of this city weresufferers in the late Chicago disaster. Welave endeavored to obtain a full list, butpresume it is still incomplete. J. Weil &Bro., Wm. M. Sinclair, Win. A. Martin, andScott Qimckeubush, all had their businessplaces destroyed, while E. S. Jennison,—the University architect—and A. II. Castle,well known to most of our citizens, suffer-ed similarly. J. E. Henriques, who was inthe Fourth National Bank, has been home,and reports most of thc Ann Arbor boyswho were employed there all right. FrankF.Randall, with Pullman Car Co.,and hisbrother Fred., have also visited their homehere, since the conflagration. FrankLoomis, Dau. Dan forth, Arthur Kellogg,Will Judd, Win L. Mead, Hale Bliss, Fred.Nye, C. M. Wells, and C. D. Bliss areamong the boys who used to live here,and are all safe, S. D. Goodale is missing,and rumor has it, was burned to death, butwill not vouch for the truth of the report

It will be seen by thc council proccecings that a committee was appointed bythat body to take into consideration the- establishment of a police force in our cityThis loqks like a move in the right direction. The present foroo seems hardly adc.quate to thc demands, and a larger onewould certainly do no harm ; while on thecontrary it would increase the safety opersons and property, and have a tendencyto allay much of thc anxiety now felt bjour business men, and bless some of ourcitizens with fewer sleepless nights. Wehope to hear a favorable report from thecommittee.

From thc publishers, G. W. CARLETON& Co , New York, we have received "JoshBilling's Fanner's Allminax," for 1872. Its filled with wit and humor, and containsxldities which would draw a smile uponhe countenance of the most fastidious'he following appeal is upon Its title page :"Dear Girls, this iz Leap Year ! The eyes

Aid for the Sufferers.The intense suffering at Chicago, conse-

quent upon thc burning out of house andhome of over one hundred thousand peoplet 'gather with the destruction of all theirpoperty and provisions, has touched atnder chord in thc hearts of nearly everyman and woman In the land, and moneyand other necessaries have been forwardedto the unfortunates with a liberality scarce-ly before equaled In the history of ourcoiintry. Ann Arbor is not behind In thismatter, for she too has lent a helping hand,and contributed df her abundance. Wed-nesday evening a car load of articles, suchas blankets, underclothing, bread, pork,groceries, etc., etc., were forwarded to thatcity, valued at *1,:J00 together with |!,700u cash. This, the committee Informs Us,ms been donated voluntarily, without ally

soliciting, and comes from the city alone.This is snbsUmlial sympathy, and speaksOdder than words of the generous heartsu our midst. May the calls of sufferinglumanity ever meet with a like response.More will be sent from time to time as it islanded in and collected. Anything to eatr wear will be thankfully received at the

Uore next to CLARK & CROPSKY'S and dolatlons in money., may be handed to any

A Proclamation by the Governor.STATE OF MICHIGAN, EXECUTIVE OF^CE, )

LANSING, October S, 1871. |

The city of Chicago, in the neighbor-ng State of Illinois, has been visited, in;he providence of thc Almighty God,with a calamity almost uncqualcd in themnjls of history. A lai-ge portion of;hat beautiful and most prosperous citylas been reduced to ashes, and is now in

ruins4 Many millions of dollars iniropcrty, the accumulation of years ofndustrvand toil have been swept away

almost in a n:o ucnt. The rich have been[educed to penury, the poor have lost theittle they possessed, and many thousands

of people rendered homeless and house-ess aro now without the absolute neces-

saries of life. I therefore earnestly callupon every portion of Michigan to takoiu.incd.iate measures for alleviating thepressing wants of that fearfully alMicted:itv, by collecting and forwarding to theMayor or proper authorities of Chicagosupplies of food as well as liberal contri-jutions of money.

Lot this sore calamity of our neighborsremind us of the uncertainty of earthlypossessions, and when one member suffersill the members should guff, r with it.

I cannot doubt that the whole peopleof the State will most gladly and mostpromptly und most liberally respond to:I.is urgent demand upon thtir sympa-thies, but no words of mine can plead sostrongly as the calamity itself.

Signed HENRY P. A ,Governor of Michigan.

From the Interior.A Visit to the Michigan Fruit Region.A very pleasant reunion of the fruit-

growers, principally from Southern Illi-nois and the eastern shore of Lmke Mich-igan, WHS hold at Bontoii Harbor, on the18th, L9th and 30th of ScptomU-r. Therewas nothing either during the trip to andfrom this place to iu:ir the enjoyment inthe slightest degree, and tho Fruit Grow-ers' Association of Benton Harbor andSt. Joseph left no means unaccomplishedto render the visit profitable and pleas-ant in- the highest degree to the invitedguests.

Threo years ago, through the liberalityand courtesy of the Illinois Central Bail-road Company, the principal pomologistsof the Michigan Lake shore region, made

CompanyMichigan Central and the Michigan LukeShore Companies, who teudered specialears for the accommodation of the largeparty erf ladies and gentlemen composingit, they were enabled to stop' or travel ntwill, and visit many localities that other-wisa would have been difficult of access.

The party were met in Chicago by therepresentative of the Benton HarborHurtiniilUwal .Society, awl at rfew Buf-falo by a farther delegation from this So-ciety and tho St. Joseph HorticulturalSociety, who welcomed them to tho gna tfruit region of tho .Northwest After din-ner tho large party, comprising now overone hundred ladies and gentlemen,were taken in carriages to visit tho var-ious fruit farms on the north side of thePaw Paw Rivor, and to enjoy tho exten-sivn view of Lake Michigan from theBluff Bank, here more than two hundredfeet high. In the evening a receptionwas held at tho Methodist church, thelecture room of which was filled with ta-bliis containing an admirable display ofchoice fruits and brilliant flowers. OnTuesday the party visited all tho vrrnri-pal fruit farms on the south side the PawPaw, an.I in the vicinity of St. Joseph.In tho evening another reunion was held,and on Wednesday at G o'clock, A. NT., theparty, after the pleasant sjicech-mukingand adieus incident to leavo-titking, re-turned to Chicago, and thence to theirrespective homes, carrying; with them thememory of tho pleasant assciations con-nected with the visit, and the useful les-sons that horticulturists arc evtr learn-ing through life.

Ou tho way to Chicago a meeting washeld and resolutions passed, tenderingthe appreciation of tho party to tho otii-oerso^tbclUinois Central, the MichiganCentral and the Michigan Lake ShoreEailroad Companies, for the very liberaland cordial manner in which they fur-nished 'transportation for the horticultur-ists of the party. There is no class of menwho do wore gratuitous work for the el-evation of the profession and the masseswho are engaged in horticultural pursuits.The wise liberality of these railroads isduly appreciated by the fraternity. I t isnet the first time by any means that thisliberality has been enjoyed, and it willnot in the end go unrewarded. Amongtho best features of the fine orchards andvineyards of Bontoii Harbor and St Jo-seph, were the admirable cultivation giv-en, and the attention that was paid to thepractical details of the art. It is one oftin- means of their eminent success inis ait culture, and if we had sons to edu-cate therein, we should much prefer toapprentice them to these practical menrather than waste their time in listeningto prosy theoretical school lectures, madeup from deductions founded upon halftmLed experiments.

The present is a utilitarian age. Wean; looking to practical values, and whatthey are worth. The intelligence of hor-ticulturists is especially directed thisway, henee their success in this branchof agriculture. They read everythingthat pertains to their art, and are quickto grasp that which is useful to them.T?he press now-a-ilays is utilitarian. It isthe great educator of the people, and itis he who reads most carefully, and di-gests most thoroughly who meets withthe greatest success, and the applicationsaay he made in other directions than inhorticulture.

Absorbent Powers of Mellow Soil.Experiments have shown that a mellow,

loamy soil is capable of absorbing intwelvo hours, when exposed to a moist at>-aac»j>here, an amount of wator equal totwo per cerrt. of its \reight. If any ar-gument were nooded to keep the soil mel-low, here is a most powerful one to con-vinco us. For this property possessed bya mellow soil is ono that in a dry season•f JJ r to.give it the power of maturing aarop, when a hardened surface would beunable to do so. A surface that is impen-etrable to the atmosphere, of course,could not absorb any of tho moisturewith which the atmosphere is oharged.fti'.t. when rendered free from lumps bycontinued plowings and harrowings, eachchange of temperaturo causes a circula-tion of air throughout the mass of soil,which is free then to absorb all tho moist-we coming in contact with it until it is sat-w » W . So, then, the more soil is mellowedby cultivation, the less it is injuriously af-fected by drought, and the better it is en-abled to mature a fair crop in spite of theabsence of rain.—Hearth and Home.

Bsr-moviup Hocks.On mniry farms- rlioro are large rocks,

both unsightly and troublesome. Wheretoo heavy for handling, blasting withpowder or bursting by water in winter,are common means used, but a- writer intho American Farm Journal gives another*nd safer method. He says:

" If the i;ock is buried in the ground,dig around it so. as to expose the greaterHart of it, then build a wood fire aroundand over it, so as to head it hot. The ex-pansion caused by the heat usually causesthe rock to burst in small pieces, but if itdons not, dxaw tho fire-brands quicklyfrom ti>e top, and dxish on a pail or twoof cold water. This soldora if ever fails,as the sudden contraction of the outersurface causes it to break. I saw oneBroken in this way, which containedthree wagon loads. A few trials willshow about the amount of fire that is re-(jniml."

The Value of Personal Appearance.A clergyman in Massachusetts, who has

seen his two score and ten, was compli-mented on his hale and youthful lookstho other day. Smiling, he touched hishandsome brown hair, anil replied : " Youknow they have a way of helping old men,a little these days."

"Whiit ' " said hi>» friend, "have youbeen coloring your bail 'i "

" Yes," replied1 he : " I have been doiinrwhat I onoe thought nothing would in-duce me to do. 1 h:ive lueii turning mygray hair brown, and L will tell you howI was brought to it. After leaving im-position i«6 , I proposed to go backMI)') tho ministry and become a parishminister. Accordingly, as 1 had oppor-tunity, I preached to some few destituteohurohes, and was Igratified to hear, atthe conclusion of the services, that they•were well pleased with «hy* preWring,and but for niy gray hair, would gladlyhave me for a pastor ; but they could notthink of so old a man. Well, while I wasgoin^ through this experience, an oldfriend suggested to me to color /ny hairand thus remove From theeyesof the peopie the reproach rf being an old man.And I consented, .finally, to- make thisexperiment. And what do you think ?The first time thai. I preached wit li brownhair upon my head, 1 was greeted with acall to settle in tho ministry, and haveever since been the happy pastor of aunited and apparently perfectly satisfiedpeople."

So much for the color of one's hair—somuch in proof that looks are somethingafter all, notwithstanding the old proverbthat looks are nothing, and behavior iselk

Morning1 Paper Printers.Morning paper printers are considered

i>y the world in general asasadsot. Theyresemble the sailor in prodigality- Work-gag at a slavish business through the longlours of the night, while the rest of theWrlS are enjoying their natural repose,md wlio awake in the morning to find;he fruits of the printers' labor ready atland, to be eni • tho morning

meal. Like the owl, they are lost sightof in the day time and only emerge forthwhen darkness \v.\-i again spread itsnantle. They have little time fer recrea-ioii, or for the pleasures of every d lyil'e ; they make lew acquaintances out-

side their own immediate circle, ami it. isonly when they have completedweekly labors and have forgotten for aiuio their arduous and almost oeaselessluties that they nppeeCr in their trueight.

Visit airy of the ]ij;:::ir.s frequented byhe craft on their day of rest, and listen;o then: as they gather around the socialjoard. Among Them you will find menvho have traveled over the globe, filling.ositions of trust and emolument in al-

most every capacity --soldiers, lawyers,actors, and many other professions.

Sweet Pork.It is beyond a doubt that cloudiness

iaa much t., •. • •>• ; the flavor of pork,'he filthy state in which many fatteningogs are kept bus a tendency not only to

givu a rank taste to the meat, but.to ren-er it positively unwholesome. A veryoimuon mode of penning hogs at thiseason is in a rail pen, without protection

from tho weather. The consoquence isthat such pens are not iit to keep a livinganimal in; wet and fUchy, cold uncom-fortable as they are, hogs will not takeon fat, and a great proportion of tho foodis wasted while they are kept in them,while the filth, a considerable amount ofwhich the hogs will consume, must bodetrimental to their health of those whoeat their flesh. It is not only safer butmore economical to give fattening ani-mals good shelter and dry beds and lit-ter, and keej) tJiem quite clean. Tho la-bor will be well repaid.

When to Plant Fruit Trees.As practical tests are what we desire, 1

will give you a little of my experience intree-planting. Last spring L planted threehundred fruit trees; dug holes four feetand a half in diameter and two feet deop,tilling in about the roots with top soil,and mulched with j-traw. All tho peach-es died. With the apples, cherries, pears,etc., I was more successful, only losingabout three-fourths. Last fall 1 plantedabout four hundred trees, with less carethan those planted in the spring, andevi vy one is now growing and iu fine con-dition. Hereafter, I shall plant fruit treesin the fall. I put out some two thousanddeciduous and evergreen tn es this spring,and they are all doing well so far.—Kau-sas Fanner.

WHAT PLKASES rim I'nu.ic.—Talkingthe other day with an able and popularlecturer, who seldom tailed in getting afull and attentive audience, we venturedto ask what kind of subjects and whatstyle of treatment lie thought the publicliked best. " Well," was tho reply, " Ihardly know ; but there's one secret I'vefound out—what the public hate is in-formation." People go to scientific lec-tures, no doubt; they would go to see aGreek play if it was the fashion ; but theexuberant chuckle of laughter with whichtho weakest attempt at a joke on the lec-turer's part is welcomed by the gravestaudience is proof quite .strong enough oftho weariness of the natural man over thedry husks of instruction, and his delightwhen anything turns up which has anunexpected flavor. I t suggests the feel-ing of the man who tasted the quince inhis apple tart—"How delicious an appletart would be which was all made ofquinces."

WHAT TUKY DIUNK IH KXGLAXD.—Lord John Kussell, in a speech made atthe conference of the National Union forthe Suppression of Intemperance, overwhich he presided, said that during thefive years ending With 1S70, the temper-ate British people spent for intoxicatingliquors the nice little sum of 53 1,8 1-Vi l'<pounds sterling—about twenty-five hun-dred millions of dollars. This amount isabout threo times as large as tho anualincome of all railways of the UnitedKingdom ; twice as large as tho capitalof all the savings banks ; half us largeagain as the national revenues for thewhole time, and iiffy times as large as thecollective income of all the religious andphilanthropic societies in the country.We are sorry to add, on the authority ofthe samo competent witness, that theworking classes pay by far the greatershare of this enormous sum. The calcu-lations given are made from the amountof liquors which pay duly.

The Iiec'ilnfU'ii, having learned thatpretty lady canvassers for wonuyi news-papers are going about hugging the menin order to obtain subscribers, says : " Ifany ono connected witn this paper everresorts to such a courso to obtain sub-scriber, or rn advertisement, we beg to boapprised of tho fact, that her connectionWith it may be cancelled at once." Timsit is that yoor girls aso checked in everyattempt to help themselves. But whycouldn't a fortuno bo made by startingout some of the long, loan, bloodiess,scraggy woman-women, with directionsto thixstento hug any man who refuses to" come down." . There's money in the idea.

GOOD ADVICE.—Do not bo discouragodif occasionally you slip down by the wayand others tread on you a little. In otherwords, do not let a failure or two disheart-en you; accidents will happen, miscalcu-lations will sometimes be made, tilingswill turn out differently to our expecta-tions, and we may be sufferers. It is worthwhile to i-emembcr that fortune is likethe skies in tho month of April—some-tvmes cloudy, and sometime* clear andfavorable.

Among the articles sent to Capt. Hallto oheer his journey to the polar regionsin cans was_acarefully scaled and labeled"Not to be opened until the Polaris reaohetho Arctic seas." But it met with an ac-cident and tho secret loaked out. It wasa can of patent axle grease, with whichCaptain Hall or his survivors were affec-tionately requested by lettor to lubricatethe axle when the Polc'should be reached.

tZT'TliE CAUSE AND CURE OF CONSUMP-TION.—The primary cause of Consumption is tlf.-nngemsnt of the digestive organs. This dcraugn-mentproducesdcileiunL nutrition and assimilation*By assimilation, I moan that process by which ttic uu-triment ol the food is converted into blood, and tbencointo the solids of tho body. Fsrions with digestionfhHS impaired, having tho slightest pradlspoftltloii tojuilinoiKiiy di&BMd, or if they tafeo cold, will bo veryliable to havt; Conromptloii of tho Longs in »omo ofits forms; and I hold that it will !><; tmpOUlblQ loeuro any case1 of Consumption willKtit ttivt feslortnjja good digestion and healthy assimilation. Tho veryfiret thing to be done id to cleanse LhOBtomACh andbowels from all diseased mucus and ulimc which inclogging these organ PO that they cannot performtheir function?, and then rouse up and restore the*liver to a healthy action. For this purpose, the surestand best remedy is Schenck's Mandrake Tills. ThesePills clean the stomach and bowels* of all tho deadand morbid itiffld that [sousing dlsOMO and decay iuthe whole system. They will clear out the liver of alldiseased bile that has accumulated there, and arouseit up to a new and healthy action, by which naturaland healthy bile U secrete!.

The stomach, bowel?, and liver arc thug cleansedby the use of Schenck's Mandrake I'ills; but thereremains in the stomach an excess of acid, the or^anis torpid and Lhe appetite poor. In the bowels, thelacteals nre weak, and requiring strength and support.It is In a condition like this that Schenck's SeaweedTonic proves to be the most valuable remedy' c*efdiscovered. It is alkaline, and it.s use will neutralize*all excess of acid, making the stomach Bwcet andfresh; it will give permanent tone- to thia importantorgan, and create a good, hearty appetite, and preparethe system for tho first process of a good distortion*»nd ultimately make good, healthy, living' blood. Af-ter this preparatory treatment, what remains to euromost cases of Consumption is the free and persevcr-Intr n?e of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, The Pulmon-ic syrup nourishes t tie system, purifies the blood, and[> n'u'lily absorbed into the circulation, and thencedistributed to tho diseased lungs. There it ripens allmorbid matter*, whether In tho form of ahecuttsca ©rtuberclesvand then asMsts Nature to expel all the dls*cased matter ill tho form of free expectoration, whenonce it ripens. It is then, by tho great healing andpurifying properties of Bchencfcfr Pulmonic Syrup,that all ntcers and cavities aro healed up sound, andmy patient ia cured.

The essential thing to bo done in curing Consump-tion 18 tb getnp a pood appetite and a good digestion,eo that the body will 8T0W in flesh and jet strong. Ifa person has diseased Rings, a cavity orabeccss there,the cavity cannot heal, t&G maiU-r cannot ripen, eolong as the system in below par. What, is necessaryto cure is a new order of things, a good appetite, arood nutrition, the body to grow in flesh and getfat; then "Nature Ls helped, the cavities will heal. Eramatter will ripen and be thrown off in large quanti-ties.and the person regain health and strength. Tinsis the true and only plan to cure Consumption, and ifA person is very bad, if the luugs an? not entirely de-stroyed, or even if one lung is entirely gone, if theroIs enough vitality left in the other to heal up, thereis hope.

1 havesceli many persons cured with only one soundfang1 live and enjoy \if<; to a good old age. This hi

lieuCk'fl Shdicim's will do to*euro" Consump-tion. They will clean out the stomach, sweeten andstrengthen it, get up a good digest ioa, and give Na-ture the assistance she needs to Clear the system ofall the disease that in in the lungs, whatever the formmaybe. •** ." 4k It is important that, while using Schcnck'e Medi-cines, care should be exercised DOI to take cold: keepill-doors in cool and damp weather; avoid night-air,and take out-door exorciac ouly iu u geniul and wuruiS U U K l i . 1• 1 wi.-k it distinctly understood that when I recom-mend a patient to bo careful in regard to taking coldwhile using my medtclnoe^ldo tefop a special rcu-eon. A man who has but partially recovered from tlioeffects of a bad cold is far more liable to n relapse thanone who has been entirely cured, and it is preciselythe same in regard to Consumption. So long as thehuigsare not perfectly healed, just so long is there.Imminent danger of a rail re tarn of the disease.' Hencoit is that I so strenuously caution pulmonary patientsagainst exposing themselves to an atmosphere thut isnot genial1 and pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives*Rings are a mass of eorcs, which tho least change ofatmosphere will inflame. The grand secret of my suc-cess with my medicines consists in my ability to sub-due Inflammation instead of provoking It, as many ofthe faculty do. An inflamed lung cannot with safetylo the patient be exposed to tho biting blasts of win-ter or the chilling winds of epring or autumn. Itshould be carefully shielded from all irritating influ-ences. The utmott caution should be observed la-this particular, as without it a cure nndcr almost anycircumstances is an impossibility.i The person should be kept on a wholesome andnutritious diet, and all the medicines continued nntilthe body has restored to it the natural quantity of-flesh and strength,

I was myself cured by this treatment of the worstkind of Consumption, and have lived to get fat andhearty these many years, with ono lung mostly gone.I have cured thousands since, and very many navesbeen cured by this treatment whom I have never seen.

About the 1st of October, I expect to take pospea-Fioa of my new building ut the northeast corner ofSixth and Arch Streets, where I shall be pleased togive advice to all who may require it.

Full directions accompany all my remedies, BO thata person iu any part of the world can be readily curedby a strict obBcrvauco of the same,
