Summer Care of Fowls. j
Healthy fowls will Jay healthy eggs, j
which wiil hatch healthy chickens, and ,
if they have good care will never be .
sick. I feed my old fowls, says a correspondent
of the Country Gentleman, all |
the corn they will eat, arid give them all
tho water they will drink. They have
a good walk, and I am well satisfied
with the return in eggs. They have
laid all winter. Some of my hens are
eight and ten years old, and are good
layers still. When chickens are hatched
I place tho hen and chickens in a box j
three or four feet square. I give no
food the first day; the second I feed
bard boiled eggs, chopped fine, and
bread wet with water squeezed dry with
tho hand. I had good success last summer
with ground wheat, wet with milk
or water. I have always had good success
with corn meal, wet with milk or
water, mixed hard. I keep the hen and
chickens in tho box for a few days, then j
fcnm them out to rati wh<>.re thov ulease.
in wet grass or dry, in search of insects,
keeping their wator dishes well tilled, in i
a shady place. My fowls are hardy, and j
the Derby cocks and lions will drive off i
the hawks.
In Illinois, I onoe placed a clutch of
early chickens in a room, having saw- j
dust on the floor; the feet of two turned j
up; I soaked their feet with liniment,
and turned them out to take their
chance. In a fow days their feet were
well. Lico on fowls, when numerous ,
are very annoying, causing their eyes to
become sore. They go to the eyes and
vent, and rubbing salt butter or lard
about those places will destroy them.
Fowls often become blind from cold in
their heads, tho passage from the eyo to !
the mouth being closed with mucus, j
Wash with warm f-alt water; pluck a ;
strong ueck-hackle feather, haviDg a '
smooth end; hold the fowl with the left
aim, the head with the left hand; open
tho month with the thumb and finger; j
run tho end pf the quill gently into the jt
oponing in tho roor of the mouth, to j
tho outer edgo of the eye which is sore. ;
When the quiil appears, take hold of it!
and pull it through. This will open the
passage if closed. Never feed whole
grain to sick fowls, but always soft food.
Blind fowls placed in a box coop will j
find tho food and water if it is placed j
there. Cover tho bottom of the box j
with sawdust or dry earth; keep clean; |
sprinkle tho coop with vinegar; place
a roost about four inches from the floor,
and they will find it.
Farm Notts.
The plan of harrowing potatoes after I
planting and before they are far ad- !
vanced is growing in favor. This allows I
the crop to have a good start of the j
weeds, and the potatoes are not in the ;
least injured by the barrow.
A commendable feature of the coming j
fair of Hillsdale county, Michigan, is the 1
offering of ?25, to be distributed to boys j
of the county under seventeen yours of

tho usual quantities.
A correspondent makes one good suggestion
; that is, let the boys earn something

hard. If they are intelligent, by the i
time they grow np they will have a very !
fair agricultural training. If they are |
not proficieut, let them study something i
else.
SoapBuds may bo used with groat ad- j
vantage for maintaining grapevines, j
Downing say3 he has Reeu an Isabella |
grapevine produce 3,000 fine clusters of |
well ripened fruit in a season by the liberal
use of manure aud s mpsuds from
the weekly wash. The eifect of soapsuds
on other plants is remarkable. A !
cypress vine that had remained stationary
for a fortnight, when about two }
inches high, immediately began grow- !
ing after being watered with soapsuds,
and grew about six inches in five days.
A meadow was divided by a crooked
stream, which rendered it too wot for
cultivation, but by digging a straight
ditch through it three feet wide and
three feet deep, with permanent walls
to support the banks, and running other
drains into this, the land has been j
improved, until it now produces immense
crops of hay and grain. Seventy-five
bushels of corn and from seventy*
five to one hundred bushels of oats to
the acre have been raised on the lands
since the drains were completed. The
expense of draining the land has been j
paid for several times over already. We I
wish other farmers owning such waste j
lands could be made to believe that j
"draining pays."
Buckwheat an a Fertilizer.
Nature gives us three plants peculiarly
adapted foi fertilizing wornout lands,
1 1 1 x. . -r
VUl. . xw| VAt/VU* OUU UUUAWUCttt \ VI |
these clover is most used, and is best
known, but as a crop on very badly used
land it is hardly equal to either peas or
buokwheat. Peas will do better on
poorer land than either of the others,
and can be followed the seoond season
most profitably by buckwheat, after
which clover will thrive welL
Tho best way to utilize either peas or
buckwheat is to sow broadcast in June
and turn under with a large two or
three-horse plow the vines or stalks
when in foil bloom, and just before the
maturity of the seed begins. In this
way all the phosphorus, nitrogen and
oarbonio acid, which the plants have'
gathered from the atmosphere, is i
absorbed by the loose soil, which thereby
obtains a bountiful supply of phosphate
food for all kinds of oereals.
Lands that are too thin to produce
good orops of peas or buckwheat, can be
first treated to a crop of rye, which
should be sown in the early fall and
turned under with a plow in the green
state, in May following. This fits it for
the reception of either peas or buckwheat
in June.
Jn case the pons or buckwheat can be
sown in May, two crops can bo utilized
iu one year by allowing the lirst crop to
become ripe, and ti.en turn them under
with small plows, and do the same with
the second crop, only use large plows
just before the frosts of October.
A great benefit will bo derived from
sowing broadcast over either peas, rye
or buckwheat. A compost of ashes and
landplaster, consisting of seventy-five to
one hundred pounds of the latter, and
three to five times as much of the former,
per acre. Old, wornout lands, with a
t?ood clay subsoil, treated in this way
for two years, pays better than any investment
a farmer can make?it is" better
than lending liis money a'; twenty,
five per cent, interest.
Cultivation In Seanon.
With a press of worfc often the cultivation
of hoed crops is put off until the
weeds have attained a considerable size,
even so as to overshadow thecrop. This
Is a mistake. Every weed not destroyed
is sapping the ground of the nutriment
that is just in the best condition f?>r the
growing plant, but if the weed is dej
stroyed as it comes out of the ground it
j has as yet only taken its nutrition from
; its own seed. Again, a single motion,
' when weeds are tiny, will destroy
j hundreds where if allowed to re:
! main some time longer each individual
specimen will require the same
effort. Here is where the stroke in time
. saves ninety-nine or more. This is most
: emphatically true in the growth of
i onions, beets, and other crops closely'
sown, which require hand work entirely.
In case of potatoes, the plan of harrowing
after planting and before they a7e
far advanced, is growing in favor. This
allows the crop to have a good start of
tlio weeds, and tho potatoes are not in
the least injured by the harrow.
L.if-5 In Persia.
Walking oue dny through the narrow
and filthy streets of Ispahan with the
only English resident, says a correspondent,
we met with two native complainants.
The first said that the house of
his brother, a silversmith, had been
broken into and plundered by the servants
of the governor, with the plea
that they wanted to carry the tradesman
before the prince to answer a case in
which money was claimed from him by a
Persian. The second was a follower of
Islam, who informed us that a Persian,
with whom our companion was well acquainted,
and who, though the son of a
moollah, was known for " broad" views,
had been summoned before the prince
and bidden in friendly language (for he
had lived on such terms with the governor)
to abandon the wearing of
trousers of European pattern as often
sive, upon one of his descent, to tho
Sheik-ui-Islam. The man, eager to
obey the wish of his illustrious friend,
departed nud quickly reappeared in
orthodox costume. " Go," said the
gratified prince, " to the sheik, find
show him how quickly you have, at my
request, conformed to his desire." The
man went, but immediately upon reaching
the presence of the religious authority,
who is an eccle3iatical judge exofficio,
he was seized and, without pretense
of trial, seutcnced to "one-hundred
sticks." The Englishman at once
undertook inquiry into the truth of this
story. He found that no exaggeration
had been made, und that the sufferer had
been so punisueu mac ior wcbkh ae
would be unable to put his feet to the
ground. In Persia death or " the
sticks" is the commonest punishment.
The man, iu the latter case, is laid on
tho ground, and after his shoes and
stockings are removed, hi3 ankles are
passed through leathern loops fastened
to a beam, which is held by two men at
nearly the length of his legs from the
ground and by them turned until h.s
ankles are so tightly securcd that no
writhing of his buck can unplace them.
Near him are laid tho precise number of
sticks to which he is sentenced. These
are lithe switches five or six feet long,
and rather more than half ar> inch thick
in the center. Two expert.-who usually
wear scarlet coats bound with biaek, then
t-iko their places near the beam, each
armed with a stick, with which they in
turn belabor tho soles of the feet until
the stick i3 broken too short for use.
Jn the case above referred to the beating
was oontinued until the hundred sticks
were reduced to this condition.
Very Close Sailing.
Tut) most remarkable race in nautical
annals ended in a dead heat. The two
contestants were two American vessels,
tho Southern Cross, Captain Ballard,
and the J. B. Brown, Captain Kezar,
and the course was from San Francisco
to Liverpool. At six o'clock on the
morning of the last day of the year
they were towed out together and discharged
their pilots at the same moment.
They passed the Faralone islands
together, met next day and parted company
at night to me t again near the
equator. Near Pitcairn's island the
rival clippers again came together, parting
to encounter each other south of the
line on the Atlantio side, where, during
several days of light weather, they were
in company, crossing the equator literally
at the same moment, bearing due
east auc^ west, a circumstance unparalleled
in Captain Ballard's twenty-six
years of En.st Indian trado. Another
parting followed, succeeded by a rencontre
in the northeast trades, where the
ships were in company for a week. Off
Holyhead they met for the last time on
the twenty-sixth of May, got tugs together,
raced .up the Mersey side by
side, and would have entered the docks
together had the gates been wide enough,
bnt as they were not, the J. B. Brown
gave way and allowed the Southern
Cross to reach hor berth a length in advance,
aftei a race of 147 days, extending
over many thousand miles of water.
Colorado and the Grasshoppers.
The grasshoppers that pretty nearly
cleaned out Colorado last year havt> appeared
again this spring in great swarms.
A late letter thence says : The farmers
are fighting them by all the means in
their power. They sluice them down
the ditches with water, gather them up
in heaps and burn them?for the water
will only collect, and not drown, these
ve>7 vital pests. They set cans of oil
dripping slowly at the heads of their
ditches, and the slightest touch of the
oily Aim, floating down with the running
water, destroys the young grasshopper.
They drag the ground with huge harrows,
covered with blazing brush, and
the flame scorches its tiny millions to
death. They draw papers or platforms
smeared with tar along the fields, and
the insects, trying to hop over, fall on

the result of these efforts with entomological
interest. Will the farmers or the
grasshoppers come out first ? Will the
latter fly away as Boon as they develop
wings; and if so, will other broods be
brought in by strong prairie winds? If
the crops fail again, look for blue times
in Deuver, which has no interests except
supplying mining districts and fleeoing
summer visitors.

CUSTER'S BATTLE.
A Plan of the Conflict?The Battle ol DeathReno's
Narrow Escape.
Correspondence from the scene of the j
fierce conflict on the Little Horn gives
a vivid picture of the bloody and, from j
the first, helpless conflict. In this re-1
cital we seo a heroic commander followed j
to tho death by two hundred and forty ;
soldiers of his regiment not less heroic ,
than himself, ana all these lives, qualified
to make splendid the annals of our j
race, wasted in a mad battle with from
four to five thoubaud savages not without
the virtue of courage, and made daring
in this case, apparently, by the consciousness
of their overwhelming
strength.
In tliis battlo the Little Horn river is
a capital feature. On the left bank of
that stream, at about fifteen miles from
its confluence with the Big Horn, was
the village of Sitting Bull. On that
side the edge of the river is timbered,
and between the river and the hills, for
a distance of several miles, is a level and
beautiful valley?a bottom land. On
this valley was the village, peopled by
upward of four thousand warriors. On
the right, or opposite side, the river
and the plain are denominated by a
range of high hills or bluffs. In his
approach Custer looked down upon the
village from these bluffs, and there di-!
vided for an assault on the position a
force that, if combined, would have j
been unequal to the struggle.
He placed three companies on the I
heights in reserve, sept Colonel Reno to !
the left to ford the stream above the j
village and attack from that side, while J
lie moved along tne ueignts on tne :
right bank to cross the river fnrther j
down and attack at the other extremity. :
Colonel Reno passed the stream as !
ordered, formed his line across the bot- :
torn land and advanced on the enemy. ;
But his advance was fiercely resisted by |
the Indians in the hills on his left, and j
before he had reached the village he
saw the imminent probability that he
would be cut off from the reserve. He
charged to keep open his communication
with that force.
Apparently this movement was not intended
as a retreat, but a retreat it became
; and in a few minutes Colonel
Reno, instead of assailing the Indian
village, was fighting a battle for life
with forces that obstructed his retreat.
His men fought their way to the ford,
and there? crowded in the stream, were
butchered by Indian marksmen. Once
more across the Btream they were
knocked over by the Indian rifles as
they clambered the heights. Yet the
larger number escaped. But what was
their position then? They had failed in
their movement, had not co-operated
with Custer, and had left him to bear
alone the brunt of the whole battle.
Reno's retreat permitted Sitting Bull;
to ooncentrate every man against Custer,
and his fate was a natural conse
quence. He was annihilated, and then
again the Sioux turned their attention
to Reno, who meantime had fortified
himself on the heights. They would
have annihilated his force also, but
their operations were cut short by the
advance of Gibbon, which corre j
spondents record in detail.?New York >

The New Mormon Empire.
Says the Salt Lake Tribune of a late
issue: Brigham Young, Jr., and First
High Councillor Daniel H. Wells left
St. George for New Mexico, via Arizona,
taking with them a few of the chosen
ones to spy out and settle upon their
new domains in New Mexico, and make
the necessary preparations for a general
hdgira of the saints to the promised
land. Brigham, the prophet, has been
at St. George soyeral days. The new
temple has just been finished at that
place, and on the return of Brigham,
Jr., and Councillor Wellsit will be dedicated,
and the programme is to proclaim
young Brigham president of the church
and tho successor of his father. Immigration
from the southern portion of the
Territory to their new El Dorado, on
the head waters of tho Littlo Colorado,
New Mexico, will then commence in
earnest, under the auspices of young

from the Gentile world as they were
twenty years ago in Utah.
Evidently Brigliam's scrip was placed
where it woidd do the most good in the
last session of the legislature of New
Mexico, for that body passed an election
bill similar to that in Utah, requiring
that all ballots be numbered and the
name of each voter placed opposite the
number of the ballot. This election
law would place the territorial government
in the hands of the church, just
as it does in Utah; in fa it, more completely,
for in Utah, by Congressional
enaotment, the governor has an absolute
veto, which power was exceptionally i
conferred upon him for the purpose of
preventing proscriptive church legislation.
The governor of New Mexico is not
vested with such absolute power. The
legislature can override his veto, as in
any other State or Territory, except
Utah. Forsomo time missionaries have
been at work converting the Mexicans
in New Mexico to the Mormon faith.
?ome oi tnese, being ignorant and superstitious,
are good material for the
crafty priesthood to work upon, and,
nnder the new tyrannical election, the
Mormons will be able to outvote the
few tnousands of white people in the
Territory, and capture its government.
It is not their intention to abandon
Utah. They have too much property
interest at stake. But the new Zion
will be New Mexico?free from Gentile
innovations.
Motherless.
A poor widow named Fox died suddenly
in Louisville, Ky. She had just
gone there to live with her four children,
three girls and a boy. An express
wagon called at the house, the corpse
of the poor woman was put into it and
hauled away to the paupers' graveyard
to be buried. It was a most painful
sight, says the Journal, to seo three little
girl, and a little boy following after
that rude hearse containing the corpse of
the mother. Their eyes nearly blinded
with tears, their heartbroken sobs coming
from their quivering lips, their cries
to the driver rushing his horse to get
away from the poor little motherless
orphans, and they running along after it
with tearful eyes and outstretched hands,
was a soene that wonld have made angels
weep. Finally the wagon turned a oorner;
the little ones broke down, and
they returned a scattered band of wanderers,
weeping and wailing over the
loss of their poor mother, whom they
should never see again. MaDy a stont
hearted man turned away from the scene
and wiped great tears from his eyes, as
the cries of the poor little orphans running
after the wagon rung in his ears.
How they Do In Turkey.
Tho London correspondent of the
Toronto Globe, apropos of tho "suicide"
of Abdul Aziz, tells the following story
in a recent letter: After the battle of
Navarino?so an old resident in Turkey
informs me?the admiral who commanded
the Turkish fleet was ordered to
die. The order was conveyed to him
by a personal friend, the pasha of the
district. After an exchange of Oriental
civilities the admiral agreed with the
pasha that the ordor must bo obeyed.
Thereupon the pasha remarked that the
best thing his friend could do was to
dine with him that day. The invitation
was aocepted, -the dinner eaten, the
chibouks smoked, a oup of coffee was
handed to the admiral, and next morning
he was found dead?of apoplexy.
And the oddest part of the story is that
it was told to the narrator by the pasha
who administered the coffee.
Some men make a great flourish about
always doing what they believe to be
right, but always manage to believe that
right which is for their own interest.
FIERCE WOMEN SOLDIERS,
The Army of Amaztfoa of the King of Da
homey?How Aft > I ah Turned the Table*
on hla Foos?The Amazonian* Routed.
The kingdom of Dahomey is in some
respects one of the most curious and interesting
of all the African principalities.
The military strength is net to be
estimated by deducting women and children
from the whole population. The
Amazons of thio corner of the world
play a very important part in its military
affairs, and if unfortunately we
should be compelled to go and fetch the
| powder and shot whicn this audacious
' potentate has pledged himself to provide
| for us, King Gelele's female regiments
! will form a very interesting subject of
i study for the strong minded representaonr
ir? 1? r\ r?1 or\/l on/1 nlon.
I UYC9 U1 IUO C3tA Ui Mugmuu wuu viuu
where.
The precise period when ladies first
took to soldiering in Dahomey appears
to be involved in soiye obscurity. The
present monarch is the ninth since the
founding of the kingdom in 1625. It
appears to have been Agajah, the fourth
king, who raised from the women of his
I palace the first female army of which we
have any knowledge. Skertchley says
that in 1728 this monarch received a defeat
at the hands of the Eyeos, the implacable
enemies of his race, and ho organized
an army of Amazons, and by
their assistance completely turned the
tables on his foes; though whether the
ladies were such vixens, or the gentlemen
too gallant to offer a serious resistance,
does not appear. Whether
Agajah really originated this peculiar
service we cannot say; but the merit of
bringing it to its highest degree of perfection
undoubtedly belongs to Gezu,
the father of the monarch who now
seems to defy British power.
The number of the Amazons is somewhat
dubious. Duncan speaks of a review
at Aboine, in which 8,000 of these
j female warriors passed in procession before
him. Skertchley, writing later,
says their number may possibly be 4,000.
" They are divided into three brigades,"
says the same traveler, "known as the
king's company, the right and left
i wings. Each of these has a peculiar
headdress by which it may be known.
The king's brigade wear the head
I shaved a la turban, and bound with
i narrow fillets, with alligators of colored
| cloth sewn on them. The right wing
have their heads shaven, leaving only a
j solitary tuft or two, while the left wear
the hair au nalurelle. Whether these
| fair warriors have any choice of regi!
ments we are unable to say. In some
| parts of the world thero would perhaps
I be some litite heartburning among ladies
| who were divided into corps, one of
, which was permitted to wear the hair au
naturelle, while another was required to
shave the head. Amazons, however,
whose conquests are supposed to be en|
tirely of the military order, are perhaps
i above the trivialities of personal adornment.
Celibacy is enjoined upon all but a
few who are found to be essential to the
happiness of the king or are given in
marriage to a few of the most deserving
soldiers. Whether Gelelo keeps up the
same mode of enlistment as his paternal
predecessor we are unable to say. Gezu
used to require every one of his subjects
who had daughters above a certain age
to present them at court upon a certain
day, and he personally selected the most
promising of "the aristocracy for Amazon
officers?or officeresses, rs some
travelers prefer it?the girls of the lower
orders being dratted into the rank
and file. The dress of these female
warriors appears to be somewhat after
the " Mary Walker "type, with a few trifling
modifications. "They wear," says
Duncan " a bine and white striped cotton
surtout of stout native manufacture
without sleeves, leaving freedom for the
arms. The skirt or tunic reaches as low
as the kilt of the Highlanders. A pair
of short trousers is worn underneath,
reaching two inches below the knee.
By way of illustrating the accomplishments
of these active damsels,
Lieut. Duncan may again be quoted :
"I was conducted," he says, "to a
space of broken grounu, where fourteen
days had been occupied in erecting
three immense prickly piles of green
bueh. These three clumps, or piles, of
a sort of strong briar or thorn, armed
with the most dangerous prickles, were
placed in line, occupying about four
hundred yards, leaving only a narrow
passage between them sufficient merely
to distinguish each clump appointed to
each regiment. These piles were about
seventy feet wide and eight high. Upon
examining them I could not persuade
myself that any human being without
boots or shoes would under any cir
cumstances attempt to pass over so dangerous
a collection of the most efficiently
armed plants I had ever seen. Behind
these piles already mentioned were
large pens at the distance of 300 yards,
fenoed with piles seven feet high,
thickly matted together with strong
reeds. Inclosed within were several
hundred slaves belonging to the king."
The Amazons appear on the scene, halt
with shouldered arms 200 yards from
the prickly fortress, and then the word
is given. "A rush was made toward
the pile with a speed beyond conception,
and in less than one minute the
whole body had passed over this immense
pile and had taken the supposed
town."
It places the gallantry of the traveler
in a very favorable light to be able to
add that when the proud potentate asked
whether he thought the same number
of English woman could do the
same, he replied that the ladies of England
were not soldiers, but that many
of them had individually and voluntarily
done things quite as groat.
Politics In >'ew Mexico,
In 1846, when the war growing out of

Though the native American settlers
are insignificant in numbers, they control
the politics and hold nearly all the
important offices among themselves. The
principal executive powers are vested in
a governor and secretary, who are appointed
for a term of four years by the
President of the United States. The
other offices of State, including an auditor.
a treasurer, an adjutant-general,
and also an attorney-general, are
chosen by the Legislature, which
consists of a coancil of thirteen and a
House of twenty-six representatives,
most of whom can neither read, writ",
nor talk English.

.Silver Payments.
Mr. Sherman, from the committee on
finance, in, the United' States Senate,
repotted a substitute for the Randall
bill providing for the issue of coin and
for other purposes. The substitute retains,
with one modification, its second i
and third sections, and unites with them
the greater part of the finance committee's
pending bill, so as embody the
following provisions :
First?That there shall be coined a
silver dollar of 412 8 10 grains of standard
silver, to be a legal tender for any
amount not exceeding $20, except for
customs and interest on the public debt.
Second?Authorizing the secretary of
the treasury to exchange these silver
dollars and also the United States subsidiary
coins for an equal amount of
United States notes which shall be retired
and canceled and made a part of
the sinking fund.
Third?Directing the department to j
purchase the silver bullion required for I
the purpose from time to time with any j
available money in tho treasury, provided
that the purchases shall be made only
when the market rate will admit of the
coinage and is ;ue without loss to the
treasury, and provided that the amount
of money at any one time invested in
such silver bullion, exclusive of such
resulting coin, shall not exceed 81,000,
uuu.
The last section cf the substitute is a
copy of the fourth section of the House
bill, providing that the trade dollar
shall not hereafter be a legal tender, and
authorizing the secretary of the treasury
to limit the coinage of trade dollars
from time to time to such an amount as
he may deem sufficient to meet the export
demand for them.
Cunning; of the Adder,
A correspondent of tho Milwaukee
Sentinel states that, over thirty years
ago. in Leeds, Greene county, N. Y.,
his attention waa one day attracted by
tho plaintive cry of a cat. Looking into
a garden an adder was seen near the cat.
The cat seemed to be paralyzed by fear
of the adder; she kept up the plaintive
cry, as if in great distress, but did not
take her eye off tho serpent, or make,
any attempt to attack or escape. Soon
the snake saw that human eyes wero observing
him and he commenced to crawl
slowly away. "I then," continued the
writer of the narrative, "concluded to
release tho cat from its trouble. I took '
a garden rake aud put it on the snake's
back, and held it without hurting it. As
soon as I had the snake fast in this position,
it raised its head, flattened it out,
and blew, making a hissing noise, and
something resembling breath or steam
came from its mouth. When that was
- ? ** ?* i - 3 il- - I
exhausted I removed tne rase, aim ma
adder turned over on its buck, lying as j
if dead. With tbo rake I turned it over
on its belly again, but it immediately
turned on its back. This was repeated |
several times. At last it was taken out !
of the garden, laid in the road, and wo
all retired to watch its movements. It
commenced to raise aud turn its head
slowly (looking about the while) until
entirely on its belly, and started at full
spcod for a little pool of water in the
road, from which it was raked out and
dispatched."
Some medical gentlemen recently addressed
a communication to a minister
well kuowu for his wit, requesting him
to preach a sermon to them. He replied
that he would, and stated that he
would take for his test: " In his disease
Asa sought not to the Lord but to
the physicians; and Asa slept with his
fathers and died." *
An Irish barkeeper always looks a little

Labor in a Post-Office.
A reporter who has been investigating
the work of the New York post-office
employees, states that there are dropped
into the various letter boxes, in the
main building, in the branch offices, and
in the street boxes, on an average, each
day, 259,97G. All these are to bo assorted
and distributed and sent to the
persons to whom .they are directed,
through the proper channels. There
are received in the mails a daily average
of 19,273. Lettors are dispatched for
338 post-offices and rinety-two rontes in
624 bags or pouches, and weighing
4,368 pounds. The paper mails are, of
course, very much more bulky than the
letter mails, as a glance at the official
figures will show. There are an average
of 1,473 sacks received daily for distribution,
making a weight of 103,110
pounds. The average number of sacks
dispatched daily to 308 post-offices over
128 routes, is 653, weighing 15,500
pounds. There are distributed 839 sacks
of Becond class, and 634 -sacks of third
class newspaper matter. This makes a
total of 279,249 letters; 1,277 bags and
pouches, weighing 117,754 pounds of
domestic mail matter handled daily.
The foreign mail matter is by no means
a small item. The average number of
letters received daily by steamers is
24,689, weighing 502 pounds, contained
in twenty bags. The average number of
bags of paper mail is forty-nine, weighing
1,779 pounds. The number of letters
dispatched by steamers rather 'exceeds
the amount received. The average
daily number of letters received ia
30,029, weighing 556 pounds. The average
number of bags of papers dispatched
is forty-five, weighing 1,490
pounds. I
The amount of mail matter handled in
the course of a year will thus be seen to
be perfectly enormous. The number of
letters handled in the year 1875 was
224,739,000. The number of bags and
poucheB carried was 509,760. The number
of pounds of mail matter handled
and dispatched was 47,262,960, or, in
other words, 2,109,600 tons.
What Shall I Take.
This is often h serious question with the
invalid. He finds the market flooded with proprietary
medicines, scores of which are recommended
as certain cures for hid peculiar ailment.
He reads the papers, circulars aud
almanacs, and finds each sustained by plausible
arguments setting forth its virtues and
speoiflo action. The recommendations are as
strong for one as for another. The cures
claimed to have been wrought by one are as
wonderful as those claimed to have been
wrought by another. In hia perplexity and
doubt, the sufferer is sometimes led to teject
all. Bat it should be borne in mind tbat tfjis
condition of things ia ono that oannot be remedied.
In a land where all are free, the good,
?the truly valuable?must come into competition
with the vile and worthless, and must be
brought to publio notice by the name instrumentality,
which is advertising. In such a
case, perhaps the only absolute proof that a
remedy is what it claims to be, is to try it.
The "test of a pudding is the eating of it."
" Prove all things, hold fast that which is
good," is tho apostolic injunction. There may,
however, be stronger presumptive evidence in
favor of one remedy than there is in favor of
another^ and this should be allowed its due
weight A due regard to this may Bave a vast
amount of experimenting and a useless outlay
of money. As presumptive evidence in favor
of Dr. Pierce's family medicines, the proprietor
desires to say that they are prepared by a
new and scientific process by whioh the virtaes
of the crude plant* and roots are extracted
without tbe use of a particle of alcohol.
Not a particle of this destroyer of our
race enters into tho composition of. oitber his
Golden Mediodl Discovery or Favorite Prescription.
This consideration alone ought cortainly
to rank them high above the vile coiopennds
saturated with alcohol, Jamaica rum,
soar beer or vinegar, which are everywhere
offered for sale. Again, they are of uniform
strength, and their virtues c*n never bo impaired
by age. They are. al<o made from
fresh herbs and roots, gathered in the appropriate
season, when ttiey are fiash with incdi*
oinal properties. In support of these claims
tbe following testimony is olTered :

excellent remedies, and I prefer to cell tbeoi

I might give scores of remarks said about

was completely cured. She, being in the

Charity toward those who are accused j
of crime rouy well be exercised, even i
when guilt in apparently proved. Several
years ago a Boston bank teller was
dismissed from his post because of a j
discrepancv of ten thousand dollars in !
his accounts. There had been a gen- i
eral confidence in his ii'tegrity, but j
the money was missing. The unfortunate
man has lived under a cloud of bus- '
picion; bnt the other day the lost money
was found in a pecnliar place behind a
safe door, where it had got pushed out
