While perhaps full justioo has been done to the great advantages of modern improvements in rapid transportation and comii'uiiicatioh, so far (is fegnrds the pro- duction of wealth and the savings of la bor, the attention of the world has hnrd- ly been called to their effioaoy in ruliev- ing distress. Tho lust two wurs of mod* ern times—tho American civil war and tho Franco-Prussian—should, however, h.'ive made us acquainted with this equality.— Railroads and 'telegraphs, in faoili the transportation oisuppliee to the woun- ded and of the wounded to hcspit.-ils and homes, have very greatly limited the suf- fering and the fatality among tho woun- ded and the sick in armies. But it is in the time of a great calamity like that which has just befallen Chica- go that the power of relief given by rail- roads and telegraphs becomes unmistaka- ble. While (he fire %\a; still rag n; which was to male a hundred thousand people houseless and homeless, deprived of food niul in large part of clothing, :h r tele- graph had whispsrod the stoiyin ovary town and city between the tao oceans and beyond tne ocean, like ono of I angels—as it then n:o.-l sun!? was touched the hearts of all who love their fellow men—of all mankind it se-.-med— aud set hundreds of thousands at work, preparing food, collecting clothing, giv- ing money, contriving hundreds of plans for relief. And when these charitable millions, standing at distances of a hun- dred, a thousand, two thousand mil more, held out their hands with gifts, lU.' railroad trains, serving them at least as divine messengers of mercy, bore tlie giit^ to the needy and supplied their wants al- most before they were felt; they since taken plenty to the destitute. What would have been the condition of the city but for these instrumentalities one cannot consider without a shudder. Death bj exposure and famine must have beenthe lot of thousands, and the calamity which has become eminent in the world's annals lor the destruction of property, might have be*n almost equally eminent for the destruction of 1 Tlie work which the railroad companies have done, in the relief of thia calamity, without fee orreward, is an yet but par- tially known; b transport of train-loads of suj plies, they have car- ried from tho city many thousands of men women, and children, andin many cases to the most distant pints of the country, that they might tind friends or employ- ment. Shall we commend them for charitable- ness, generosity and large sympathy f We will iord their deeds and lei these speakforthem, only remarking that this great disaster has proven that in thia age what we have been accustomed to call 1Lss corporations," have been reached and touched by the true spirit of Chris- tianity, and that the vast powers devel- oped by modern science, which we have I.e. n accustomed to regard only as engines for selfish aggrandizement and material wealth are jnst as available and just as powerful in the tenderest missions of char- ity andlove. In this great calamity of the age, the railroads and tho telegraph; havo been the most helpful of ministering angels.—Railroad QatttU, Ma warranted.

One of tho most curious and interest- ing places in Eastern Pennsyl- vania is the locality known as " The Ringing Rocks" or, more popularly, "The Ringing 1 tills," situated about three miles east of Pottstown, Montgomery county. That which has given rise TO this name is a huge mass of dark-colored stones va- rying in weight from a few pounds to in.i- ny tons, situated uponthe brow of a high and extensive hill, covered with oedars and oaks. The peculiarity of these rocks is that upon being struck with a hammer or stone they ring with such a clear and prolonged sound that the curiosity and interest, of he most iudifiercnt visitor is immediately iroused. Ono sends forth a sound like hat produced by a stroke upon an anvil ; mother one that resembles a. clear sound- ng bell; another the prolonged ring of a dinner glass ; another tlie heavier and iuller sound of the tinsmith's hammer, while some ring out but little or none at all. It is nodiffcult matter tofindsev- J stones giving sounds that will pcr- 'eetly chord with each other, anda mu- sician might stand- among them and by triking different ones probably play an lir upon them. These stones are far heavier than ordi- nary ones, iron, no doubt) entering large- y into their composition, and it has boon imagined that ashort distance under this vast pile a hollow space exists. On some of the large fiat ones curious marks are observed. Some bear the im- pressions of horses' hoofs, which appe have sunk several incites; one, several marks shaded like hearts ; and another, :i mark that would lead us to suppose that some animal had struck its olaws upon it before it had hardened, and slipped back for want of a hold. A peculiar fact is that tho rocks (ered tLiokly among the surrounding ce- dars and oaks, mid in large piles onadja- " ri lit bills, do not possess this I:: property, nor do they differ in weight ant appearauce from ordinary ones. FIRST IN CLASS STYLE DESIRED 6JZB. Woman Sufflfage n:ui)ii^ Sndktiis. One of the most eloquent of tho Oneida chill's was known by the nickname of iven him by the German set- tlers on the Mohawk. A report is e: of an •• by him at a conncil <i)' the Oneidasi convened in the latter part of the last century, to determine whether to sell aportion of their lands to the .State. The council was held beneath a very large pine tree, known as the oounoil-tre , which then, and for many years after, stood on the south side of the western turnpike road) a >h«rt diatanoe west of the village of Oneida. The men and wo- men of the nation wore assembled around The project had been oanvaased by the warriors and women for two days; mi i. acoordiog to the customs of the Nations, the usual decision as to tiie sale of lands had to be made bythe squaws, ho, being the cultivators, were, by u most equitable rule of Indian law which antedated the modern movement for wo- men's rights and female suffrage) regarded as the proprietors of the Soil. The ques- tion now to be decided was : Should the i! domain, already very considera- bly circumscribed, be still further dimin- ished!' One after another had spoken, when Plattkopf arose. lie commence 1by painting tho glory of their nation before the white man came. He said it wan then full of Strength) and vigor and beau- ty. He looked upward, and pointed to the tree under which he stood, which, though still of great size and beauty, was visibly marked with ago and Bymptoms of decay. " W,: \ v ,.r<) lilto this council-tree," he said. " It was then full of life anil vigor and beauty. It was tho Oneidas' tree, it drew its nourishment from the ground; it. was not cramped and confined ; it could draw its sap from all tho land, tor the Oneidas owned it all; they had parted With none of it ; and, as it could draw its Bap from all the land, it grew and put forth more branches and more lenves, and sent out new roots, andspread them far- ther in the ground. It became strong and very beautiful. So did the Oneidas. As the tree grew, so did the Oneidas. The white man came. We sold him a portion of our land. A root of the tree, which drew its sap from that land, witheri i: when it withered, a branch died, and the tree lost some of its beauty. Again tho white man came. We sold him another piece of our land ; another root withered ; another branch died, and the tree became Jess beautiful and less vigorous, The white man came a third time. Y\'e sold another piece of our land; a..other and another root withered, and another and another branch fell down, and wo now see our treo; though beautiful, it ha; lost inches; it no longer scuds forth nw roots or new branches; it is cramped; it bus not the land to draw sap from that it had; and we, where are v.e r The white man has come again. He Wants more of our land Shall we sill him an- other piece ? Shall we let the tree under which our fathers sat lnsc another and another root, and cause another and an- ! branch tofall ? ' He dwelt upon the figure, and contin- : -LIICI between its decaj that of his nation, should it part with more of the land which was to nourish aud strengthen its life and beauty, until the warriors, as well a^ thowomen, were prepared with unanimity to reject the proposition to sell their lands.—ion's Jonrn . Tlie Everglades aud the Indians. The Everglades of Florida are just a submerged prairie, and they exhibit the manner in which the great Western prairies were formed. Drain the Ever- glades (it could be done), and the present islands would lie lulls. Bubm -rue a prai- rie and its hills would become islands No tree is found on the Evergladi . cause they are constantly covered with water; no trees are found on the pr because they were long covered with water. Time will com:.' when I his v.i.-l plain will be clear of water, and then we shall havo a largo surface, like the prai- ries, dear of trees, and iittcd for cultiva- tion by man. In these little Everglade islands the palm flourishes, and also the orange and every other tree of Florida. The castor oil plant grows up to be a large tree of sevi ral years' life. 'The arrowroot and sweet potato patches merely require that tirring of the ground necessary in re- uoving thefull-grown roots to cause the •Ounger one,; to grow and keep growing. t is really not neee>,.uy to plant more ban once. It is alazy man's paradise. Xowon- ler the Indians wen: unwilling to move 0 the West; it was not the graves of heir fathers they were unwilling to eave, il was their potato and pumpkin vitches. Their pumpkin is small, round uul gweet; they out it open, put in a rac- oon or opossum, cover it with ashes, and take it in the fire. The hunters think it rb dish. Another plan is to take a ish just off the hook, and without Bcald- ng or cleaning, wrap it up in green eaves and bake it in tho same way. Iunters use 8 wet newspaper. It is done vheu, if you tear a piece of the wrap- ig, the skin and scales come off with it. foil tear otf skin and wrap).ing from one jde, eat the flesh, turn it over and <:at he other, and throw bones and inside away. Indians in small numbers are still bund near the Everglades. They do not ike the whites, and are not sociable, but here is a talisman that will move them out of stoicism in^o cordiality; there is 1 sesame that will open un Indian's leart and mouth, and that is whisky. They are the only savages whohave never invented an intoxicating drink of their own. Their only idea of civilization it to get drunk. Ride into their couutiy, put up with a chief, give him whisky and promise him more, and ho and his are at your service as long as your whisky lasts. Lippincott's Mag izine. A JOKE ON CONKLINO.—"Resident,'' New York correspondent of the Phila- delphia Press, tells the following aneodob of Senator Conkling: One day, down the avenue proceeded the dignified gentleman. Opposite th .Metropolitan he was met by the Hon William Kellogg, of Louisiana, who thus addressed him : " Hallo! How goes it Conkling ? " "Sir,'said the blonde, drawing himself up tolas full length, " that is no way to Bpeak to a United States Senator. 1 am Senator Conkling—Senator, sir." think some of them wert! women who had i MI..' with t.his world. J :im told that tho wive., of oven thu highest Mormon ili«rni- taries show little pride in their lords. It was perhaps difficult to feel much pride •ii the sixteenth part of ;i m:m, as men go. Even the first wife of a wealthy saint be- trays in her husband and household, they say, no exultant joy of posseMion. An investment in ix Mormon heart and home must be r.itlier uncertain stock for a wo- ni.in. I am assured, though, that the second wife is seldom taken without the full consent of the first. Not only are the poor women's religious faith and zeal appealed to, but her magnanimity toward her sister woman out in the cold. It must through K''eat sull'eiing that such heights of Sell-abn«gation are reached. The cru- cifixion ot the diviue weakness of a IOT- ing woman's heart must bo a severe pro- cess.

You hear a good deal about that "cross' from both Mormon husbands and wives but you only see the shadow of it in tin faces of the women. 1 do not mean lo in- dicate that they all look decidedly unhap- py. There is rather in their faces a quiet baffling;, negative and abnegative expres- sion, which certainly is asfar from ha;>pv content as it is from desperate rebellion Naturally they aremore alive to tho out side pressure of public opinion more sen sible to the abloquy and ostracism whicl their position provokes, than men. Pa tient and passive as they seem, toe', fee these tilings keenly—the more intelligen iiiuuiig them at least—and though up held^by a. sincere, devout faith ill thi strange delusion, they have tow.nil Btran gera a peculiar air of reticence, of mis trust, almost of repulsion. 1 uonot won der at ii—their hospitality and conlidonc have often been abused—they have been intruded upon by impertinent interview ei's, and their reluctant answers to pews tent questioning published abroad, wit startling additions and dramatic cm be] Jishinents.

OKRIX THATCHER, Chairman. J>n.N J. RODISON, Clerk. : Ktiiiuin;--. are Eire-l'roof. The Washington correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial has " interviewed " lir. Mulletfe, the Government architect, >n the subject of fire-proof buildings, and .ere are his opinions : Mr. Mullett says there are very few firc- >roof buildings in the United States. He 'light to know, for he has had all the gov- ernment buildings in tho country on his muds for several years, and has built he best of them, and it is probable he las devoted as much time, Study, and in- •ostigation to the subject as any architect o be found. '• Why, my friend," said he " don't you inow that granite, when subjected to a. trong heat, crumbles like dry plaster ? :t is tiu> beat building stone in the world ; t will resist time, and heat, and damp mdrain, and everything else, but it voa't resist lire. Marblo is not much letter, but it is some; marble will not mm up as soon as granit one is ibout the same, with some few exception- il varieties. " Now, a good many blessed idiots think that if a vault is built of granite it is lire md burglar proof. Nothing of tho [f I wanted tii make a secure vault, I ihouldn't make it of granite. A skilfull .rarglarcan get into a granite vault in no tine 1 ." How •-. " Why, with a blow-pipe. With a large ilow-pipe, and a small, sharp blaze well landled, a burglar oan crack a block of granite to pieci : . before you'd know it. When subjected toa severe heat it oracks md splits off in flakes, and you Can o it into Mind with your fingers. Oh.no, a jranite building is uot fire-proof." Well, what sort of a building is fire- proof? " A granite bnilding," he answered, without apparently notioing the question, "will .stand heat a great while; so will marble a great while. Bui awooden cu- pola, or steeple, or towor, must not be put on top of it, like that on the Cl Court House. . . . GTanite isn't fire proof," he continued, " but, as I said be- fore, it will stand a good deal. It is pro- bable that the Court House would have stood had it not been for tho wooden cu- pola and the open windows. The Tribune office would probably have stout if it had had iron shutters outudo and inside on all the windows. Yet it i3 by%o means certain, if the lire, ragod with the intensi- ty that is described. "What, then, is to bodone," I asked, "if granite and marble and sandston not nre-ptoof? Is not tho Capitol, the Treasury, the Pad' I Office, the Postoffice Departmentare not these lire proof.'" "Why, bless your soul, no! No ono of them. Hut they are probably safe, for all that, because they stand away from other buildings—all except the Postoffice If we should nave suoh a fire in Washing- ton as that in Chicago I should fear for the Postoffioe building. Why, my dear sir, he continued in a more snappish tone than ever, "doyou know there is but one tire-proof Government building ill the country 'i That's the Appraisers' Stores, in Philadelphia." "Is it possible ? And that is tho only "It's the only ono I know of." " Wind's the material ? " "Why," b i. "it'sbrick. Brick fa the only absolute fire-proof building material 1 know of. They B \ the I stone is lire-proof, and it has :4i>r>d some wonderful tests, but none of the Govern- ment buildings have been built of it. Of course, granite and marble arc good li, it' buildings are apart from oth- ers. That's the trouble. Government build- ings ought to have big grounds around i. Then there would be no danger. But I have great faith in iron shutters." makes tho three latest amendments it3 all in all; and it declares by laws of Con- gress, by the suppression of tho decisions of tho Supreme Court, by martial law, by military arrests, trials, and draggon- thut those amendments shall be aforcod.

V* hy oan you not have one of the groat Railroad Kings to rule New York for a while '< Or at least to tell you how to do it r 1 The President of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, who lives in New York, knows how to arrange his bu son r.. i y that ho cmat any moment tell his directors just how much of their coinp] ited, how much the work has with the e-:i- haa the whole line under his eye, though it is hundreds of miles away ; and 1ms sothoi .stem of checks that peculation or fraud is impossible. But government is only a business ; why oan it not be simplified just as the plicated work of buil ling a railroad has been simplified r One useful hint you could not help get- ting from these reilrqad men; they do ilect their men because they have political influence ; nor dothey hesitate to turn out a contractor who is Republicans and Democrats, and Southern men, wo>'k together in building the railroad; white and black men pull, and drill, andshovel together, in amity, and the only man whom your railroadman will not have at any price is the man who will not or ean not do a full day's work for afoirday'spay.

Tno Democracy agree to accept tho mendmont I tot the sake of peace and to iitry from tho perils of a fur- ttation of them; and tho ruling irty, eager to perpetuate strife, and to .

Elepublicans asked their opponents: Will you accept and respect the three amendments? lid have had their an- swer.

done to the great advantages of modernimprovements in rapid transportation andcomii'uiiicatioh, so far (is fegnrds the pro-duction of wealth and the savings of labor, the attention of the world has hnrd-ly been called to their effioaoy in ruliev-ing distress. Tho lust two wurs of mod*ern times—tho American civil war and thoFranco-Prussian—should, however, h.'ivemade us acquainted with this equality.—Railroads and 'telegraphs, in faoilithe transportation oisuppliee to the woun-ded and of the wounded to hcspit.-ils andhomes, have very greatly limited the suf-fering and the fatality among tho woun-ded and the sick in armies.

But it is in the time of a great calamitylike that which has just befallen Chica-go that the power of relief given by rail-roads and telegraphs becomes unmistaka-ble. While (he fire %\a; still rag n ; whichwas to male a hundred thousand peoplehouseless and homeless, deprived of foodniul in large part of clothing, :h r tele-graph had whispsrod the stoiyin ovarytown and city between the tao oceansand beyond tne ocean, like ono of Iangels—as it then n:o.-l sun!? wastouched the hearts of all who love theirfellow men—of all mankind it se-.-med—aud set hundreds of thousands at work,preparing food, collecting clothing, giv-ing money, contriving hundreds of plansfor relief. And when these charitablemillions, standing at distances of a hun-dred, a thousand, two thousand milmore, held out their hands with gifts, lU.'railroad trains, serving them at least asdivine messengers of mercy, bore tlie giit^to the needy and supplied their wants al-most before they were felt; theysince taken plenty to the destitute. Whatwould have been the condition of the citybut for these instrumentalities one cannotconsider without a shudder. Death bjexposure and famine must have been thelot of thousands, and the calamity whichhas become eminent in the world's annalslor the destruction of property, mighthave be*n almost equally eminent for thedestruction of 1

Tlie work which the railroad companieshave done, in the relief of thia calamity,without fee or reward, is an yet but par-tially known; b transportof train-loads of suj plies, they have car-ried from tho city many thousands of menwomen, and children, and in many casesto the most distant pints of the country,that they might tind friends or employ-ment.

Shall we commend them for charitable-ness, generosity and large sympathy f Wewill iord their deeds and leithese speak for them, only remarking thatthis great disaster has proven that in thiaage what we have been accustomed to call

1L ss corporations," have been reachedand touched by the true spirit of Chris-tianity, and that the vast powers devel-oped by modern science, which we haveI.e. n accustomed to regard only as enginesfor selfish aggrandizement and materialwealth are jnst as available and just aspowerful in the tenderest missions of char-ity and love. In this great calamity ofthe age, the railroads and tho telegraph;havo been the most helpful of ministeringangels.—Railroad QatttU,

The Kintrinff Rooks «f Peangylrania.One of tho most curious and interest-

ing places in Eastern Pennsyl-vania is the locality known as " TheRinging Rocks" or, more popularly, "TheRinging 1 tills," situated about three mileseast of Pottstown, Montgomery county.

That which has given rise TO this nameis a huge mass of dark-colored stones va-rying in weight from a few pounds to in.i-ny tons, situated uponthe brow of a highand extensive hill, covered with oedarsand oaks.

The peculiarity of these rocks is thatupon being struck with a hammer or stonethey ring with such a clear and prolongedsound that the curiosity and interest, ofhe most iudifiercnt visitor is immediately

iroused. Ono sends forth a sound likehat produced by a stroke upon an anvil ;mother one that resembles a. clear sound-ng bell; another the prolonged ring of a

dinner glass ; another tlie heavier andiuller sound of the tinsmith's hammer,while some ring out but little or none atall. It is no diffcult matter to find sev-

J stones giving sounds that will pcr-'eetly chord with each other, and a mu-sician might stand- among them and bytriking different ones probably play anlir upon them.

These stones are far heavier than ordi-nary ones, iron, no doubt) entering large-y into their composition, and it has boon

imagined that a short distance under thisvast pile a hollow space exists.

On some of the large fiat ones curiousmarks are observed. Some bear the im-pressions of horses' hoofs, which appehave sunk several incites; one, severalmarks shaded like hearts ; and another, :imark that would lead us to suppose thatsome animal had struck its olaws upon itbefore it had hardened, and slipped backfor want of a hold.

A peculiar fact is that tho rocks(ered tLiokly among the surrounding ce-dars and oaks, mid in large piles on adja-"ri lit bills, do not possess this I::property, nor do they differ in weight antappearauce from ordinary ones.

Woman Sufflfage n:ui)ii^ Sndktiis.One of the most eloquent of tho Oneida

chill's was known by the nickname ofiven him by the German set-

tlers on the Mohawk. A report is e:of an •• by him at a conncil<i)' the Oneidasi convened in the latterpart of the last century, to determinewhether to sell a portion of their lands tothe .State.

The council was held beneath a verylarge pine tree, known as the oounoil-tre ,which then, and for many years after,stood on the south side of the westernturnpike road) a >h«rt diatanoe west ofthe village of Oneida. The men and wo-men of the nation wore assembled around

The project had been oanvaased bythe warriors and women for two days;mi i. acoordiog to the customs of theNations, the usual decision as to tiie saleof lands had to be made by the squaws,

ho, being the cultivators, were, by umost equitable rule of Indian law whichantedated the modern movement for wo-men's rights and female suffrage) regardedas the proprietors of the Soil. The ques-tion now to be decided was : Should the

i! domain, already very considera-bly circumscribed, be still further dimin-ished!'

One after another had spoken, whenPlattkopf arose. lie commence 1 bypainting tho glory of their nation beforethe white man came. He said it wanthen full of Strength) and vigor and beau-ty. He looked upward, and pointed to thetree under which he stood, which, thoughstill of great size and beauty, was visiblymarked with ago and Bymptoms of decay.

" W,: \v,.r<) lilto this council-tree," hesaid. " It was then full of life anil vigorand beauty. It was tho Oneidas' tree, itdrew its nour i shment from the g r o u n d ;it. was not cramped and confined ; it coulddraw its sap from all tho land, tor theOneidas owned it all; they had partedWith none of it; and, as it could draw itsBap from all the land, it grew and putforth more branches and more lenves, andsent out new roots, and spread them far-ther in the ground. It became strong andvery beautiful. So did the Oneidas. Asthe tree grew, so did the Oneidas. Thewhite man came. We sold him a portionof our land. A root of the tree, whichdrew its sap from that land, witheri i:when it withered, a branch died, and thetree lost some of its beauty. Again thowhite man came. We sold him anotherpiece of our land ; another root withered ;another branch died, and the tree becameJess beautiful and less vigorous, Thewhite man came a third time. Y\'e sold

another piece of our land; a..other andanother root withered, and another andanother branch fell down, and wo nowsee our treo; though beautiful, it ha; lost

inches; it no longer scuds forth nwroots or new branches; it is cramped;it bus not the land to draw sap from thatit had; and we, where are v.e r Thewhite man has come again. He Wantsmore o f o u r l a n d S h a l l w e s i l l h i m a n -other piece ? Shall we let the tree underwhich our fathers sat lnsc another andanother root, and cause another and an-

! branch to fall ? 'He dwelt upon the figure, and contin-

: -LIICI between its decajthat of his nation, should it part withmore of the land which was to nourishaud strengthen its life and beauty, untilthe warriors, as well a tho women, wereprepared with unanimity to reject theproposition to sell their lands.— •ion's Jonrn .

Tlie Everglades aud the Indians.The Everglades of Florida are just a

submerged prairie, and they exhibit themanner in which the great Westernprairies were formed. Drain the Ever-glades (it could be done), and the presentislands would lie lulls. Bubm -rue a prai-rie and its hills would become islandsNo tree is found on the Evergladi .cause they are constantly covered withwater; no trees are found on the prbecause they were long covered withw a t e r . T i m e w i l l com:.' w h e n I h is v.i.-lplain wil l be clear of w a t e r , a n d t h e n weshall havo a largo surface, like the prai-ries, dear of trees, and iittcd for cultiva-tion by man.

In these little Everglade islands thepalm flourishes, and also the orange andevery other tree of Florida. The castoroil plant grows up to be a large tree ofsevi ral years' life. 'The arrowroot andsweet potato patches merely require thattirring of the ground necessary in re-uoving the full-grown roots to cause the•Ounger one,; to grow and keep growing.t is really not neee>,.uy to plant moreban once.

It is a lazy man's paradise. Xowon-ler the Indians wen: unwilling to move0 the West; it was not the graves ofheir fathers they were unwilling toeave, il was their potato and pumpkinvitches. Their pumpkin is small, rounduul gweet; they out it open, put in a rac-oon or opossum, cover it with ashes, andtake it in the fire. The hunters think it

rb dish. Another plan is to take aish just off the hook, and without Bcald-ng or cleaning, wrap it up in greeneaves and bake it in tho same way.Iunters use 8 wet newspaper. It is donevheu, if you tear a piece of the wrap-i g , the skin and scales come off with it.

foil tear otf skin and wrap).ing from onejde, eat the flesh, turn it over and <:athe other, and throw bones and inside

away.Indians in small numbers are still

bund near the Everglades. They do notike the whites, and are not sociable, buthere is a talisman that will move them

out of stoicism in^o cordiality; there is1 sesame that will open un Indian'sleart and mouth, and that is whisky.They are the only savages who have neverinvented an intoxicating drink of theirown. Their only idea of civilization itto get drunk. Ride into their couutiy,put up with a chief, give him whisky andpromise him more, and ho and his are atyour service as long as your whisky lasts.—Lippincott's Mag izine.

A JOKE ON CONKLINO.—"Resident,''New York correspondent of the Phila-delphia Press, tells the following aneodobof Senator Conkling:

One day, down the avenue proceededthe dignified gentleman. Opposite th.Metropolitan he was met by the HonWilliam Kellogg, of Louisiana, who thusaddressed him :

" Hallo! How goes it Conkling ? ""Sir,'said the blonde, drawing himself

up tolas full length, " that is no way toBpeak to a United States Senator. 1 amSenator Conkling—Senator, sir."

Itwas perhaps difficult to feel much pride•ii the s ix teenth part of ;i m:m, as men go.Even the first wife of a wealthy saint be-trays in her husband and household, theysay, no exultant joy of posseMion. Aninvestment in ix Mormon heart and homemust be r.itlier uncertain stock for a wo-ni.in. I am assured, though, that thesecond wife is seldom taken without thefull consent of the first. Not only arethe poor women's religious faith and zealappealed to, but her magnanimity towardher sister woman out in the cold. It must b«through K''eat sull'eiing that such heightsof Sell-abn«gation are reached. The cru-cifixion ot the diviue weakness of a IOT-ing woman's heart must bo a severe pro-cess.

Grace Greenwood on Mormon Women.You hear a good deal about that "cross'

There is rather in their faces a quietbaffling;, negative and abnegative expres-sion, which certainly is as far from ha;>pvcontent as it is from desperate rebellionNaturally they are more alive to tho outside pressure of public opinion more sensible to the abloquy and ostracism whicltheir position provokes, than men.

: Ktiiiuin;--. are Eire-l'roof.The Washington correspondent of the

Cincinnati Commercial has " interviewed "lir. Mulletfe, the Government architect,>n the subject of fire-proof buildings, and.ere are his opinions :

Mr. Mullett says there are very few firc->roof buildings in the United States. He'light to know, for he has had all the gov-ernment buildings in tho country on hismuds for several years, and has builthe best of them, and it is probable helas devoted as much time, Study, and in-•ostigation to the subject as any architecto be found.

'• Why, my friend," said he " don't youinow that granite, when subjected to a.trong heat, crumbles like dry plaster ?:t is tiu> beat building stone in the world ;t will resist time, and heat, and dampmdrain, and everything else, but itvoa't resist lire. Marblo is not muchletter, but it is some; marble will notmm up as soon as granit • one isibout the same, with some few exception-il varieties.

" Now, a good many blessed idiots thinkthat if a vault is built of granite it is liremd burglar proof. Nothing of tho[f I wanted tii make a secure vault, Iihouldn't make it of granite. A skilfull.rarglarcan get into a granite vault in notine1."

H o w •-. "

Why, with a blow-pipe. With a largeilow-pipe, and a small, sharp blaze welllandled, a burglar oan crack a block ofgranite to pieci :. before you'd know it.When subjected to a severe heat it oracksmd splits off in flakes, and you Can oit into Mind with your fingers. Oh.no, ajranite building is uot fire-proof."

Well, what sort of a building is fire-proof? "

A granite bnilding," he answered,without apparently notioing the question,"will .stand heat a great while; so willmarble a great while. Bui a wooden cu-pola, or steeple, or towor, must not be puton top of it, like that on the ClCourt House. . . . GTanite isn't fireproof," he continued, " but, as I said be-fore, it will stand a good deal. It is pro-bable that the Court House would havestood had it not been for tho wooden cu-pola and the open windows. The Tribuneoffice would probably have stout if it hadhad iron shutters outudo and inside onall the windows. Yet it i3 by%o meanscertain, if the lire, ragod with the intensi-ty that is described.

"What, then, is to bo done," I asked,"if granite and marble and sandstonnot nre-ptoof? Is not tho Capitol, theTreasury, the Pad ' I Office, the PostofficeDepartment—are not these lire proof.'"

"Why, bless your soul, no! No ono ofthem. Hut they are probably safe, forall that, because they stand away fromother buildings—all except the PostofficeIf we should nave suoh a fire in Washing-ton as that in Chicago I should fear forthe Postoffioe building. Why, my dearsir, he continued in a more snappish tonethan ever, "do you know there is but onetire-proof Government building ill thecountry 'i That's the Appraisers' Stores,in Philadelphia."

"Is it possible ? And that is tho only

"It's the only ono I know of."" Wind's the material ? ""Why," b i. "it'sbrick. Brick

fa the only absolute fire-proof buildingmaterial 1 know of. They B • \ the Istone is lire-proof, and it has :4i>r>d somewonderful tests, but none of the Govern-ment buildings have been built of it. Ofcourse, granite and marble arc good

• li, it' buildings are apart from oth-ers. That's the trouble. Government build-ings ought to have big grounds around

i. Then there would be no danger.But I have great faith in iron shutters."

Tho great question for 1872 is : Howlong is this process to coutiuuu':' ThoRepublican party demands, with much

SHiHT-SEElNG IV COLORADO.Coming out of tho Boulder Canon—up

which we tried to take tho AUGUS readerin our last paper—and leaving the moun-tains behind us, we reach Denver by stageto Erio and cabooso from thence. Andon tho way wo cross a section of the Boul-dor Valley, said to be the agricultural val-ley of the Territory. So just here wemay as well say our say about

OOLOKADO FARMING.

And preliminarily wo may remark thatduring spring, summer, and autumn thereare no rains in all this region, and thatwinter is not a " rainy season," as in Cali-fornia. The heavy snows of the moun-tain, to use »homely expression, " slopover " upon the plains in sleet, snow, andrain., a choice niixturo, with occasionallya. real shower. But no reliance is placedupon these storms in agricultural calcula-tions, as they come at the wrong season ofthe year. In fact tho farmers, or ranch-men—for everything here is a raacho—•boast of being independent of rains anddrouths, relying from seed time to har-dest, year in and year out, upon irrigation.

And this is how the irrigating is done,taking the Bouldor valley as a sample.As the Bouldor—-and the same of anyother stream—issues from the mountains,it is tapped by im irrigating ditch, ownedby a stock company. This* ditch, fromfour to six feet wide and of the requisitedepth, is carried along the base of thefoot-hills from ten to fifteen miles, moroor less, keeping as high an elevation as ispracticable. Hero and there it is tappedby lateral ditches, each lateral also sup-plying several branches. In the villageef Boulder these laterals run along thestreets, through gardens and yards, andfurnish the water for all household pur-poses except drinking and cooking. Annmber of laterals will also run across afarm, and whon a wheat field or othercrop is to> be irrigated the water is lot in-to the upper end, tho lower dammed up—a work of but a moment, as they aro butlittle,, if any, larger than a furrow—andthe land adjoining flooded. Then anoth-er and another is served in tho same way,until tho forty, eighty or one hundredacre field is gone over. This is repeatedthree or four times during the season, andabundant crops are secured.

Wheat turns out from fifty to sixtybushels per acre, and ripening withoutdew or rain never rusts or grows, and isalways of superior quality. Wo shouldsay, in passing, that nothing but sprinwheat is raised, which, however, equals—the Coloradoian would say excels—thobest quality of whito winter wheat oiMichigan or the Geuesee valley. Pota-toes, beets, onions, cabbages, and all oth-er vegetables are also produced, of finequality and enormous size. Corn is notmuch relied upon, the nights being toocold. Fine strawberries aro grown—theyield being abundant, and one man toldus of selling, last season, 3,800 lbs. of picplant from about one-fourth of an acre.The hay-cro;j is yet confined to nativegrasses but is abundant and of good qual-ity. W.hcn 75 miles south of Denver, intho valley of the Fountain, a livery manpointed us to some stacks of hay, the clipof sixty acres, for which he and his part-ner paid §3,000. As the price was $25 aton, rlie slip per acre ean easily be figured.Our informant, who was a Michigan man—but twelve years a resident of the terri-tory—attested* however, that one ton. ofit would gi> :is far as two tons of Miohigan hay. This is owing to its beingcured without its nutritious juices andsubstances being washed or bleached outby the alternate showers and sunshine of.a Michigan haying season.

Nothing or next to nothing has yetbeen done in orcharding of any kind. Afuw years ago a large number of treeswere set out,,which wore killed by thefirst winter.. This result was attributedfey some tosudiunchiUiges, which Colora-do is as subject to as Michigan, and byothers to the vitality of the trees havingjrally boon last while being wagonedacross fcihte plains. Gloat confidence is ex-pressed that all kinds of fruit, especiallysmall-fruits :mrt grapes, Mm be raised inabundance. And- seeing whsit has beendono by theso enterprising pioneers, whocan put any limit upon their achieve-ments ? Experience, energy, and will,with irritation—as the word is sometimesperversely or ignorantly spoken—will ac-complish wonders.

The uplands—or lands lying abavo thoelevation of the systems of ditches—arenot plowed or tilled, but produce a nativegrass upon which cattle food, thrive, andfittcu. In fact " upland hay " is quotedhigher in market than " second bottom "or " xlough " hay. Stock cattlo graze theentire winter, hay being cut only forworking cattle and horses, and evenworking cattle are tepprted as preferringgrazing to boireg fed. And it excolltmtbutter is evidence oi' a good grazing coun-try, we had both tho BTidenoG • >!' eye* andtistc to confirm what WHS told us. Suchis the modo of fanning in Colorado andits rosulte. Our readers can judge forthemselves how they would like it. Forourself, we are free to suy tliat tee thinkthat a well-situatod and well-to-do farm-er in Washtcnaw or any other Michigancounty is foolish to sell out and go toCjlorado—notwithstanding the Coloradofarmer is independent of rains and can0 l.t 1 '.. S own water privileges,—that isuiili;ss he wishes and needs a change of

Wo should have said a few word3about prices of farm produce. Wheatwas selling at '2@'2'.jo. a pound, or J1.36a bushel; corn, \%c. per lb. ; oats 2c. perlb. ; potatoes at 1 }4c per lb. ov 00c. abushel; hay, .$20®27.50 per ton; butler,40c. a lb.; cheese—factory—15c; andeggs, tho only article not sold by the lb.,35c. a dozen. Labor, both male andfemale—the latter difficult to got—high-than here, and money from 2 to 3 percent a month. Theso are, in brief, thotwo sides of the fanning question.

FIBS.What a maolstrom of firo you havo been

laving around tho hikes lately, and how,ho world has responded to the cry of dU-ross that oamo up from those shores' It

does ones very eoul good to witness th;itresponso—it proves that men everywhereire coming into closer relation.* with theirullow men,—that wo are beginning torealize the fact Iluvt mankind are so neivr-y tilliod to oach other that ths misfor-tune of ono is the misfortune of all. Wo•>eo bore less detail of the fires in Michi-gan and Wisconsin than of that at Chi-ago, but I am deeply improssed with the

idea that thera baa been more real suffer-ing in those grand old woods that wentdown beforo tho cyclono of fire, than inthe great oity that molted away in a-single night. But the world feels tholattor roost, not alone beoiuiso there weremore survivors to be fed, but also becausenoarly all tho commercial world were in-terested in that great city of tho WestThe finsn :ial loss of Chicago is not uponher people nlone, but is spread out overtho whole- civilized oarth. Californialoses nearly throo million dollars, throughher Insurance Companies, bu t . i t issource of pride to us all that mOBt of thoselosses will bo promptly p iM. O::e scralcompany goos down, and that ono neverhad the full confidence of tho people a'home, and ought not to havo done busi

s abroad. Tho Firemen's Fund snePacific, the latter a very heavy loserpromptly arranged to meet their lossesand continue business without interrup-tion. As soon after the fire as it could beascertained what their losses were,mooting of tho principal stockholders othe Pacific wt»s held, when they were informed that to go on an immediato asgeaameat must be mado equal to seventy2vo per cent, of the stock, and tho unanimous expression was to levy it, many ot'noso present asking for a stutemont otheir proportionate amounts that theymight pay it at once.

MAP.INE LOSSES.

How often it ia demonstrated that misfortunes Bevel como si:igly. For tlirc<weeks our Marino Underwriters hav<been laughing at the Fire Insurance men

use they had to "comedown" siheavily, but this morning they sung another tune, when the papers came oufilled with tho details of tho total loss othirty-throe whale ships in tho ArcticOcoan. New Bedford is tho prinoipasufferer this timo, so far as is shown b;the ownership of vessels, but San Francisco ship owners suffer some, and SaiFrancisco Underwriters moro. You wilgot those details before this letter reaoheyou, so I need not repeat them. Thminimum statement of the loss is aboutwo million dollars.

TUE WEATHER.

Dry, dry. Two dry winters, and ocourse dry summers, and no rain yet tspeak of. But all the weather prophettell us that wo aro sure to have plenty oruin this winter, and its being so latabout coming is certainly a fair indication. I certainly hope it may railabundantly. A flood would do us losharm than another dry winter. There is IUrge and rich portion of the Stato wherthey have had no crops for two yearsThe country is new, tho farmers win-mostly poor, and now, over a strip oterritory in tho San Joaquin Valleyfrom fivo to ten miles wide and fortmiles long, many are actually sufforinjfor the. necessaries of life. But thoy arplucky fellows—they don't want peoplito give them anything, they say all the;want is credit till they can got ouo cropand then thoy will bo all right. An association is being organized for the express purpose of giving them such creditand making such advances as they majneed.

HANK FAH.UBE.It has been a long timo since California

his had a real sensation in the waj ofb.nk failure. Mooneyes Ehtmng shopbroke up two years ago, or nearly so, bu'it never did stand well, and its partiacollapso created no great excitement, fifew days since, however, ono of tho ohbanks, that will be remembered by man)of your readers, took people by surpriseby failing to open its doors, JOHN SOU& Co'Sj Bank £is no more. Tho losseshowever, aro not so heavy as might hav<been anticipated, considering that it wasono of !he oldest institutions of tho kinon the coast. I t carried down with itho banking h >uso of B. F. HASTINGS &Co., of Sacramento, and to-day I seestated that CAVALIBB, tho President ottho San Fra-.icisco Board of Bankers, hagone by tho board from tho same causeAnother consequemv was a run on :Sacramento Savings Bank, but in thacase il was the run rather than tho bankthat proved a failure. Tho city assessoipracticed a good joke on somo of them atthat timo. Ho quietly took his roll \xyto tho bank, and caught several personsdrawing out considerable sums, who hadjust before made oath before him thatthoy had no money on hand or in bank.The amounts drawn out will have to paytaxes this year.

I see you anticipate that tho bruteWAGNER, will try to got off on the plea)f insanity. Was there over a greaterfarce played in the name of justice, than

in witnessed now-a-days whon thatlefense is successfully made against atharge for high crime? California has

not been exempt from that contagionwhich commenced to afflict juries abouthe time cf the Sickles caso. Sho went

k on the record of several easternurios in tho Fair case, but sho has just•i.turned again to tho old groove. Youvill remember the caso of Mrs. Savior ,

who shot hor husbana's mistresf, Mrs.kn, at Stockton, a few months since.

?ho act was ono of tho coolest, most do-iberate, ever committed. Sho has just>een triedj and the jury found that whenhe fired tlie fatal shot she was us " ciu/.y

IN another column of this issue will bofouu I an article from the St. Louis Be-

ilifim headed " The Constitutional litt&e/or 1872." Tho article, as the mo.it casu-al reader will not fail to discover, advo-cates tho adoption by tho Democraticparty of the iuition, in the coining presi-dential campaign, of tho policy pursuedby the Democracy of Missouri at the lastelection in that State : the making of nonomimvtionf, tho (supposed) consequentdivision of the Radicals, as in Missouri,and the striking hands with the liberalsor dissenters and defeating tho P gul irnominee. Tha scheme rends well, but ifattempted would prove an uttor failure.

Forewarned is forearmed," and it i:i atleast doubtful whethor or no tho samefiing could bo done again in Missouri.Tlo national experiment would bevery much liko attempting to " swingaround tho cirelo " !ig:viu with ANDYJOHNSON. Such are our opinions brieflyexpressed.

WIIITINO of tho wtiko or funoral heldat tho Metropolitan Hotel—TWBBD'Bheadquarters—on the evening after thoelection, Maj. MULDOON says :

" I h;*ve known much of sadness in life.I have seen a revenue office slip from molike a running horse from the word" Go i " I have had my writings rejectedby numerous editors of bias and a lack ofliterary appreciation. I have seen the in-cumbent of tho highest office in the landflit on his back on the c-ibin floor of asteam-tug in our bay ; I have seen a Seu-ator of the United States very much in-cumbent on the cold and unfeeling mar-ble floor of the Senate lobby ; whon theyodght to havo beeii the one in Galena, andtho other in Detroit. But I never beforewitnessed so much official sadnera as Imet in that private parlor of the " Metro-politan," when we gathered, as wo thoughtto pay our last respects in place of thetaxes we had boon accustomed to pay."

Poor "Major." Your sufferings « in-tolerable. That's a fact.

GKOKGE \Y. MILLER, Superintendent ofthe Insurance Department of tho State ofNew York, reports the total losses of XewYork companies—city and Stato—in theChicago fire at $21,637,500, of which hethinks $20,724,457 will be paid. Twentycompanies havo ceased to do business andgono into liquidation; thirty-five com-panies met with no losses; and forty-throe make their impaired capital goodand go on. Including New York andother States the total losses are put at$82,821,122, vith assets aggregating$133,420,425. Foreign companies lose$5,813,000 and have assets aggregating$10,000,000.

Upon the legislature, and upon thos, will devolve tho responsi-

bility of securing municipal reform, notonly for our commercial metropolis butfor all of our cities. The power to cx-p .ml money/i and ab ivoall to ere kte debt,must be in istod, and othor abases mustb • .'u tided against.

The conti eh the election ox-hibits in the modes of action oi the two

. i:i doaling with corruption inmvn ranks, is remarkable, though it

lms been illustrated in the history ofpartteSjgince the found ttion of tho govern-ment! The democratic party could notlive in association with aoknowlecorruption. It refused to sit in the sameconvention with I of inculpated

in i;r • metropolis. I t denouncedthe guilty and demandod punishment. Ithas UO place for them except before acourt of justice, in arraignment fororimes. On the other hand, the Republi-enns proved themselves perfeotly stolidand apathetic in view of the grossest im-putation cast on their candidates. Sothat while tho denttocraoy have beatenTweed's associates in Now York, andstruck off half of his majority, the Sena-tors known to bo tho hirelings and in-struments of that Sen itorin ail his legis-lativo joba and plots, havo boon sustainedby the Republicans with undiminishedseal, and re-elected by increased majori-ties.

Whilo tho municipal oligarchy in NewYork is either relinquishing power or hav-ing it wrested from them, the federalgovernment retains in power the corruptcombination which controls and degradestlie politics of the administration partyCollector Murphy will point to this verypolitical suooese as a claim for a oontinu-Ance in office; and it will be acceded toby President Gran*, And why should itnot, when Butler is upheld as loader inNew England, Cameron, in Pennsylvania,and the carpet-bagging thieves in theSouth ?

Let them not, however, calculate tooconfidently on the forbearance of the peo-ple. This cry of Reform, taken up lor anobjoet in the State, will fiinl an echo inthe hearts of tho people, and it will b«raised in accents and volume that wilreach the Whito House and shako it toits foundation.

WJS are. pleased to see that tho Ypsi-lanti Sentinel is satisfied with the way tha

Supervisors districted the county. Itthinks that Ypsilanti and Ann Arborhave no conflicting interests, social orotherwise, and that they enn rest peacea-bly in the samo political bed, liko two in-nocent children. In foot, it thinks thatwith " hourly communication (by thathorso railway) wo should soon perceivehow really the two places arc but tho ex-tromitioa of ono large city."

— However, it is suggested that hadtho Attaua not disapproved tho arrange-ment the Sentinel would. " Opposition istho lii'o of business," you know. .

THE colored members of the South Car-olina Legislature havo held a caucus, ro-solved against any legislation providingfor paying interest on the State indebt-edness, and declared in f.ivor of repudia-ting the entire debt—old and new. Itadi-cal financiring has boen such as to ills-gust tho colored wing, and repudiation isthought better than bankruptcy.

From the Albany Axjrns, NOT. 9,The Election in >'ew Fork.

Tho Republicans cany the Legislatureby a large majority, and the Stato officerson the popular vote. The result is asgreat a surprise to them as to us. Theirstate ticket was not put in nomination tobe elected, but only as a cover und( rwhich to eleot a majority of tho StateSenite. Nor was tho victory achievedby their direct efnrt or exertions. ThoDsmocrats turned against their own or-ganization, refusing to vote for tho partyoandidatea, and in some counties votingagainst them. They saw in tho chiefcity of the Stato developments of mis-government without a parallel in thehistory of our party.

Democrats were astounded and para-lyzed at tho character of the revelations.Ihey showed that the government of NewYork city was not a government, but aconspiracy; and that its object, success-fully carried out, had boen tho spoliationof the peoplo by devices of fraud till nowunheard of.

When the Democratic party ceases torecognize integrity, fidelity and account-ability to the peo} leas the tests ofofficialife, it ceases to exist Its lifo is goneand it is but a dead corpse.

The Demooraoy of the city, by an ex-tromo effort, disconnected itself from thecorrupt entanglement that bore it downBy a revolutionary uprising, it sue•••in deposing tho local dynasty that had soibusoa the name and the cause of deiuoc-•.i r• \. But revolutions are not made with-

. 1 in tliis upheaval of thoilomonts, our demo xatic majority in the:ity was broken, and our strength in thentsrior submerged by that tidal wave.

It is unfortunate for the people and forho cause of reform itself, that such ex-lellent men as those that composed the

democratic stato ticket wero defeated.Messrs. Willers, Nichols and their col-

S are officers so assiduous in duty,odemocratic in all their ways of publicrod private lifo, coming up to the oldtandards of honor in this respect, thaik "reform" movement whichhem seems to have accomplished asuioi-al absurdity.There will be nothing to regret in their

In .7line last Mrs. N. GEDDES, of Adrian,Secfctary of the Michigan Orphan Asylum,visited our city and made application toSupt. DUFKY for the transfer to that asylumof any pauper-children in the County PoorHouse. Her denunciations of the PooHouse system, the offspring of persouavisits to many of the poor houses of thStjte, were unqualilled, and it was evldenthat she regarded them as neither humannor morel institutions, but as necessar;evils to be tolerated only uniil they coukbe abated. At the urgent invitation of Ilr1)., who thought it wrong to condemn uuvisited the institution in part under h:charge, Mrs. GEDDES paid a visit theretoWhat she thought of what she saw we le

tell in her own words :

ADRIAN, July, 8d. 71.Vr. /;. Duffy :

DEAR !MK:—I visited y lUr County Househe day thai I saw yon, and was glad thatdid, as 1 left it with a feeling of gratitude

hal any County In Michigan had succeed-1 so well in carrying out the design of a

refuge and home lor the poor and unfortu-nate. 1 congratulate the officers of yourCounty upon your admirably arrangedbuildings, which are a credit to designers.tftill more I congratulate you 'upon yourgood fortune in securing the present keep-ers of t he house. They are the best adapted to the place of any that 1 have seen.Keep them at any price so long as they doas well as now. The house is not onlyneat and orderly, but they speak kindly toand of the Inmates, which is more thancan be said of others in their position.

Respectfully yours,.l.YNE M. (JKDDES,

Secretary of Mien. Orphan Asylum.This hearty tribute to Mr. DUKFV and

his associates more than offsets the bitterattacks made upon that gentleman, andcertainly furnished the Supervisors withgood reasons to re-elect him.

FREDERICK LAW OLMSTEAD, ivriting

from Chicago to the Nation, since the re-cent destructive fire, has this sentence,whieh those of our citizens, official and un-oflleia!, who have a propensity for makinglire-limit ordinances like a sheet of rubber,will do well to remember: " Und«r an old" l a w wooden buildings had been forbidden11 to be erected in or moved to the locality" where the fire started. In 1807, upon the11 motion of men who wished to dispose of" buildings they had contracted to move;< out of the more compact part of the city,'• the Common Council consented to a mod-ification of tliis law. The Board of Health•• at the time urged the danger of doing so," and was told to mind ils own business," Underwriters, merchants, and capitalists" were silent." Tiie lesson is so plain thateven an Ann Arbor alderman ought to nc-dentand it without any words from us.

I-'roui the New York Tinws.Save Your Burned Trees.

Untold numbers of valuable trees, bothfruit bearing and ornamental, have beendestroyed by tho devastating fires of Chi-oogo-arid other parts of tho West. Yet,inmost instances, the vitality of the rootshas not been impaired. I t may not begenerally known that by cutting off thetrees close to- the surface of the ground,before wintOF, and covering tho woundswith a heavy coat of grafting wax, thetree will be-preserved until next spring,•when .most trees, and many large onestkat Lavi; been standing tor more than ascore vi yearn, will send up strong andluxuriant canes, which will grow rapidlyinto ti\j(js. Sums! varieties of evergreensfuatl some deciduous trees will not sprout,•while fruit trees of every sort, grapevines,currant and berry bushes of every variety,rose bushes and wduaWe shrubbery, thetops of which have bucn killed by fire,will sprout aguio, provided the tops arecut otF close to-the ground before winter.If left until next spring, the vitality oftho roots'of many trees and many vulmi-Mb-grnpe-vines will be impaired to suchsn extent that no sprouts will ever ap-pear. Apple trues, and pear trees, six toten inches in diameter, which have beenburned .to blackness, bolow the collar ofthe tree, should be removed with axes andoarpeifcter's. adze- mvtil the live wood andttftrk have been reached beneath tho sur-feeo of the ground. Small trees andgrape-vines shouldjbe sawed off smoothlyclose to the surface of the earth ; and ifthe1 wood has been injured below thatpoint, remove the soil and continue to cutofTthi! heated uortioiis until a livo sur-face is laid bare. Then apply a heavycoat of warm grafting wax in a liquidstate, and before the wax bus becomehnrd gross a piece of strong brown paperor a yioee of any sort rf cloth into thewax, after which cover fcfae stomp withfind anil'mellow earth, several inedepth. Eiiriy next spring remove thesoil, leaving not more than an inch indepth over the stump. A suitableing wax for such a purpose may be madeof equal parts of tallow and rosin of anykind, or pitch. We have frequently madeit of one part of linseed oil, mingled withtwo parts of coarse,.cheap rosin or pitch,heated in an iron kettle until the. pitch isall dissolved, and the mass is of the con-sistency of thin tar. It should not be ap-plic.l raiding hot. In lieu of a paintbrush, employ a swab mado of a coarseeloth wrapped around the end of a stickVery few young trees and but a smallproportion of grape vines and shrubberyhave been burned to such an extent as toinjure the wood bolow the collar of themain steia.

Tho Difference ami the- Season.The Norfolk Journal, in speaking of the

situation of affairs in Virginia and otherSouthern States, has the following, whichmust be regarded as a fair representationof tho case:

Tho ConsermMve party hns been iupower in the State for the last two years.And under its guidance Virginia has risenmore rapidly from the wreck and ruinwrought by the war than any other Statein the South. Business has improved andis improving. Tnado of all sorts has in-aiensed, and is increasing. The generalwelfare of of the people his brightenedand is brightening. We have peace andharmony throughout our State. We havethe laws impartially administered. Wehave internal improvements that promisemillions upon millions of money, in rapidprocess of extension and construction.We have public schools in active opera-tion, in which the children of the poorestas well as of the wealthiest parents canbe competently taught, by competentteachers paid by the people. Wo have nosoldiery scouring our counties, arrestingand imprisoning our citizens, spreadingterror, depressing business, and present-ing the sad spectacle of armed men in atime of peace, hunting and seizing Amer-ican citizens, without warrant of authori-ty from the civil law of tho Common-wealth. Virginia is blessed with theblessings of Copserv-ativc ascendancy inher councils. Almost all oar sister Statesof the South are enrsed with the cursesof Radical control in their legislatures.

We have ([uiet, order and security fo.iperson and property. They have discordand no guarantee of civil rights protectedby no civil laws. We have comparativeprosperity, and the prospect and promiseof a speedy and splendid development ofv»st and varitd resources that hc.ve here-tofore lain inactive, idfe and unprofitable.They are palsied, paralyzed, undone intheir industries, helpless and almost hope-less under their burden of oppressive ex-actions. Our situation in contrast withtheirs is attributable to the triumph ofCtenecrvatism over Radicalism in Virginiattvo year^ ago.

Finger Marks.A gentleman employed a mason to do

some work for him, a.nl among- otheridlings, to "thin whiten" the walls ofone of his chambers. This thin whiten-ing is almost, colorle:* until dried. Thegentleman was much surprised on thomorning after the chamber was finishedto find on tlio drawers of his bureau,standing in tho room, white fingers.Opening the drawer, he found the sameon the article in it, and also on a pocket-book. An examination revealed the samemarks on tho contents of a bag. Thisproved clearly that the mason, with hiswet hands, had opened tho drawer andsearched the bag, which contained nomoney, and had then closed the drawerwithout once thinking that any onewould ever know it.

The " thin whitening" which happenedto be on his hands did not show at first,aatMta probably had no idea that twelvehours' drying would reveal his wicked-ness. Children, beware of evil thoughtsand deeds; they all leave their Jinger-markx, which will one day be revealed.If you disobey your parents, or tell afalsehood, or take what is not your own,you make sad stains on your character.And so it is with all sin. It defiles thesoul. I t betrays those who engage in it,by the iuarks it makes on them. Thesemarks may bo almost if not quite invisi-ble at first But even if they should notbo seen during any off your days onearth (which is not at all likely), yetthere is a day coining in which every sinwill be manifest.—Home Journal.

A "WORD TO FAHSTKR*,—Of all the drea-ry places, deliver us from the dreary farmhouses, which so many call home. Barsfor a front gate ; chickens wallowing be-fore the door; pig-pens elbowing thehousoin the rear; scraggy trees never caredfcr,or no trees at all; no cheering shrubs;no neatness; no trimness. And yet alawn, and trees, and neat w*alk, and pleas-ant fence around it, don't cost a groatdeal. They can be secured little by lit-tle, at odd times, and tho expense hardlyfelt. And if the timo comes when it isbest to sell tho farm, fifty dollars so in-vested, will often bring back five hun-dred. For a man is a brute, who willnot insensibly yield a higher price forBuch a farm, when he, thinks of tho pleas-ant surroundings it offers to hi- wife andchildren.

A PAKTIIIAN DABT FPOM TIH; Vui.rrr.i—A minister of the Kirk of Scotland oncediscovered his wife asleep in the midst ofhis homily on the Sabbath. So, pausinin the steady and possibly somewhat mon-otonous flow of his oratory, he broke forthwith this i>ersonal address, sharp andclear, but very deliberate : " Susan I" Su-san opened her eyes and oars in a twink-le,, as did all other dreamers in the house,-whether- asleep or awake. "Susan, Ididna marrv ye for your wealth, sin yehad none! And I diuna marry ye for yerbeauty, that tho hail congregation cansee And if ye havo no grace, I havemade but a sair bargain." Susan's slum-lSers wero effectually broken, up for thatSay.

t=F-TnK CAUSE AND CUKE OF CONSUMP-TION.—The primary cause of Consumption is de-rangement of the digestive orsarta. This derange-ment produces deficient nutrition ami assimilation.By assimilation, I mean that process by which the nu-trimcut of the food is converted into blood, nnd thencointo tho solids of tho body. Persona with digestionthus impaired, having tlio slightest predisposition topulmonary disease, or if they take cold, will be veryliable to havo Consumption of tho Lungs iu somo ofits forms; and I hold that it will bo impossible tocure any case of Consumption without first restoringa good digestion and healthy assimilation. Tlio veryfirst thing to be dono is to cleanse the stomach andbowels from all diseased mucus and sliino which/isclogging theso organs so that they cannot performtheir functions, and then rouse up and rcstoro theliver to a healthy action. l"or this purpose, the surestand best remedy is Schenck's Uandnka pills. ThesoPills clean tho stomach and bowels of all the deadand morbid slime that is causing disease ami decay iuthe whole system'. They will clear out tho liver of tilldiseased bile that has accumulated there, nnd nrousoit np to a new anil healthy action, by which naturaland healthy bile Is secreted.

The stomach, bowels, anil liver arc thus cleansedby the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills; but theroremains in tho stomach an excess of acid, the organis torpid and the appetite poor. Iu the bowels, tholactcals are weak, and requiring strength and support.It is in a condition like this that Schenck's SeaweedTonic proves to be the \nost valuable remedy everdiscovered. It is alkaline, and its use will neutralizeall excess of acid, making the stomach sweet andfresh; it will give permanent tone to this importantorgan, and create a good, hearty appetite, and preparethe system for the first process of a good digestion,and ultimately mako good, healthy,, living blood. Af-ter this preparatory treatment, what remains to enromost cases of Consumption is the free and porsever-in" nse of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup. The Pulinon-ic Syrup nourishes th« system, purifies the lilood, andis readily absorbed into tho circulation, and thencodistributed to tlie diseased lunga. There it ripens allmorbid matter?, whether in the form of abscesses ortubercles, and then arista Nature to expel all the dis-eased matter iu the form of free expectoration, whenonco it ripens. It Is then, by tlio great healing andpurifying properties of Schenck's Pulmonk: Syrup.that all ulcers and cavities are healed up Bound, andznv patient is. cured. v-it The essential thing to bo dono In curing Consump-tion is '.o get up a good appotitenndagood digestion,BO that the body will grow in flesh and get strong. Ifa person has diseased lungs, acavity orabseess there,the cavity cannot heal, the matter cannot ripen, solong aa tlic system is below par. What is necessaryto cure is a new order of things, a good appetite, agood nutrition, the body to grow in flesh nnd getFat • then Xaturc is helped, ihe cavities will heal, thematties,is th- ..a person is verv bad, if the lungs are not entirely de-stroyed, or eveii if one lung is entirely gone, if therois enough vitality left iu tho other to heal up, therois hope*.* I huve seen many persons cured with only one soundInn" live and enjoy life to a good old age. This iswhat Schenck's Medicines will do to euro Consump-tion. They will clean out the stomach, sweeten andstrengthen it, get up a good digestion, and give Na-ture the assistance she needs to clear the system ofall the disease thai is iu the lungs, whatever tho formmay be.• It is important that, while using Schenck's Medi-cines, care should be exercised not totake cold; keepin-doors in cool aud damp weather; avoid night-air,and take out-dour exercise only in a genial and warmsunshine.. '•*• I wish it distinctly understood that when I recom-mend a patient to be careful in regard to taking cold•while using my medicines, I do so for a special rea-son. A man who has but partially recovered from thoeffects of a bad cold is fai' more liable to a relapse thanone who has been cntirelycurud,and, it is preciselythe saruo in regard to Consumption. So long as Ihelongs arc not perfectly healed, just so long ia thereimminent danger of a full return of the disease. HenceIt is that I so strenuously caution pulmonary patientso<Tninst exposing themselves to an atmosphere that isnot genial and pleasaut. Confirmed Consumptives'lungs are a mass of sores, which tlio 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, a» many ofthe faculty do. Au inflamed Ions cannot with safetyto the patient be exposed to the biting blasts of win-ter or the chilling winds of spring or autumn. Itshould be carefully shielded from.all irritating influ-ences. The utmost caution should be observed inthis particular, as without it a cure under almost anycircumstances is an impossibility.• The person should be kept on a wholesome andnntrltious diet, and all the medicines continued untilthe body has restored, to it tho natural quantity offlesh and strength.

I was myself cored by this treatment of tho worstkind of Consumption, find have lived to get fat audHearty theso ninny years, with ono lung mostly gone.I have enred thousands since, and very many havobeen cured by this treatment whom I huve never seen.

About the 1st of October, I expect to take posses-sion of my new building at the northeast corner ofSixth and Arch Streets, where I shall bo pleased togive advice to all who may require' it.

Full directions accompany all my remedies, so thata person in any part of tlie world can be readily curedby a strict ubsbrvauco of the eame.
