I always knew I served the company in a dangerous capacity, but I bad been an express messenger for so many years that I thought little or nothing of the risks I ran. My route was through a rouph region, too, after I was changed from the Central Pacific to the Southern Pacific road; a region but half-settled and civilized, where Indians and ruffians were as plentiful as Chinamen in 'Frisco. My "run'' was a long one. through a new country, where railroad stations were often one hundred m?les apart; and the loveliness of the scenery, combined with solitary confinement in an express car, which looked more like a cell than anything else, made four days of every week hang heavy on my hands, thouerhl was often kept busy for hours at a time. I generally had a mixed assortment of express matter, with plenty of gold and silver'in bricks and specie; and occasionally, not much to my liking, a coffin or two going eastward, each inclosing a dead body. I would not mention this, but it is necessary, as w.'ll be seen further on. I left Los Angeles every Monday morning at 9:50, and from that time un til the following Thursday 1 am not leave my express car. having to go to El Paso and return for my week's work, a distance of nearly fifteen hundred miles! This may seem a long "run," and so it was; but as the stations were few across the southern pert of Arizona and New Mexico, I had opportunities to take my much needed rest, which 1 did after I became accustomed to the situation. . I was always glad to get back to Los Angeles, however, for traveling ninetysix nours without any change is extremely tedioils, even in a drawing-room car. Imagine the contrast between riding that way and riding in a heavily-loaded express car, with two small barred win.? dows to look out of, and a hard bunk in one corner to sleep on, and you may form some idea of the monotony of my trip. The miles passed slowly after I had assorted and billed the expressage; my pipe was kept bufning: and the constant roar and rumble of the train sounded during the day, and lulled me to sleep at night,when the windows were securely fastened, the lamps lighted, and several rifle- and revolvers hung around in case of an emergency. I ran as express messenger several years without being in- a railroad accident, or having the train stopped by robbers. Some of my brother messengers met with adventures on nearly ? every trip, but for a long time I win unmolested. until I beiran to dis regard the danger altogether. During that time I became accustomed to every phase of my situation, and although try lonely life gave me a very silent and tachurn habit, 1 enjoyed my two days at Los Angeles, or at Santa Monica, sea-bathing, as much as my more fortunate friends, who ran north over the Tchochapi pass, and were at home every night, enjoyed their rests. Train robberies had lately been frequent, and while I did not expect to be * attacked, I learned to be on the lookout. I had a set of signals with the bell rope to let the trainmen know when I was in I danger. Robberies were often made while the trains were in motion, and the * express messengers were either bound ji hand and foot, or killed, the robbers I being desperate men who hesitated at nothing. Occasionally, however, I did relax my , vigilance, and slept as soucdly as at the hotel where I boarded. Finally my turn came. The train arrived at Tucson one night nearly an hour late. There was a great deal of express matter to exchange, and for fifteen minutes I tvas kept busy loading and unloading bundles and boxes. The passengers walked up and down the platform to stretch their legs; the engine's safety-valve hummed with escaping steam, and the long train of cars, reaching the full length of the platform, presented a picture of bustle and activity. When the last bundle was piled away, I had a chance to talk a few minutes with the expressman: then the train started,, and I closed the door, locked it,and turned ta the boxes and packages that were scattered around. The first thing that attracted my attention was a long pine box. I had not noticed it wben it was loaded, and thinking it was a queer time for a funeral to start East, I examined the address. It was consigned to New Orleans. I entered it on the book with the other express, and for an hour or more, wnile sorting over the packages, I took no notice of my silent companion. It was a common thing to have one or two funerals the whole length of the trip eastward, and I thought of this as I thought of others: "Some poor fellow who left a pleasant home to come here in search of a fortune, only to die on the alkali plains, without a friend." And after I had shoved the box against the side of the car, I opened a bundle of newspapers and selected one to read. It was not very late, and tilting my chair ?- against the side of the car beneath a lamp, I was soon interested in the news of the day. How Ion 4 I was in that position I do not know, but unconsciously I fell into a light sleep when I had finished reading the paper. I awoke wiih a feeling of dread and fascination in complete possession of me. I did not move: I could % not. Something held me almost breathless, and several minutes passed before I could open mv eyes. When I did, my heart gave a quick throb! The top of the pine box was partly raised, and the features of a man. shaded from the dim light, were rcvealea to my acute senses! Vtron tVion tlimirrVi rrrfutlv ?tnrtlf>fl T did not make a motion, and my eyes were all but closed. Peering from the corner of one eye, I tried to make out his features, but saw nothing beyond the brutal eyes aud half-savage mouth. In an instant it flashed across me that he was a train robber? He was evidently waiting to see if I was fast asleep, and he did not move during several minutes, keeping his e)es fastened on me with the steadiness of an animal. I scarcely breathed. The rifles and revolvers were on the opposite side of the car. If 1 attempted to get them, he would shoot before I made two steps. With my blood tingling and my ears strained, I waited expectantly for him to move, resolving to wait for a favorable opportunity to spring on him. * Probably there were a dozen more of wyoHwI.... his associates in the passenger-cars, and as soon as lie had secured his prize they would be notified, and the passengers, robbed. There was enough gold and silver in bricks in mv car to- make one man independently rich. The small safe was full of specie, amounting to one hundred thousand dollars' worth. With the thought of my responsibility came a feeling of resolution. I must do something without hesitation. The dark eyes glared at me, but the robber never changed his position. I could read the meaning of their cold glitter, aud I must act if I saved my life. 1 pretended to awaken, by making two nr mnvpmonts with mv hands, and to my intense relief the cover of the pine box quickly and quietly dropped to it? place. Without making any hurried motions, I rubbed my eyes, piped once or twice, and slowly rose to my feet "Well, well," I said, aloud, "I've been asleep." Then I proceeded to rummage around the car as if nothing had happened, but my nerves were not relaxed an instant Before they had gone live miles farther 1 had some nails in my pocket, and a careless glance showed me a hole in the side of the box through which the robber waf undoubtedly watching every movement I made. I did not go near the revolvers or rifles. I It would have taken but a second foi him to have raised the lid and shot nn\ and I knew he would do so if I aj> proached them. Instead of that I carelessly assorted a pile of express maitei near the box, with a view to what I was about to do. I was terribly excited, though I tried to appear cool. When I was all ready, I threw several heavy packages on the lid, sat down on the box. and hastMj nailed down the lid. I heard a noise within, and felt a pressure as my prisonei endeavored to raise the lid. The weigh! was too great, and I soon had all the nails driven in to hold him fast. lie was secured, but to make sure of him I surrounded the box with heavy bundles, and piled upon it the heaviest boxes the car contained. I sat down for a minute to recover myself; then taking down a rifle, I cocked it loud enough for him to hear. "How many more are there aboard the train?*' I asked, placing my mouth to s crack between the bricks. In reply I heard a muffled sound resembling a curse, and as all the holes through which he might shoot were covered "with gold and silver, I put my mouth nearer and asked the question again. I received no reply, and going to the pnrl of the car. I auicily opened the dooi leading to the platform. The night ail rushed in. and the noise of the train came with it. making a din in my ears. Wc were runuing at a high rate of speed around the hills that abound in that region. I stepped to the platform of the next car. It was a smoking-car. The trainrobbers were already at work. Two men, in the forward end. within five feet ol me, commanded a view of every passenger with their lcve' ed revolvers, and two more were going down the aisle for the valuables. It was a terrible moment to me. I felt a keen sympathy for the passengers, whose terror-stricken faces I could see in the dim light from the lamps, but I wa? helpless; doubtless a similar scene was being enacted in the other passenger and sleeping-cars. I was hot and cold by turns. I watched the villains going coolly on with their unrk until I bc?ran to think of my own safety. Charley Slate, a brakeman, was bound hand anil foot to the forward seat; in a few minutes they would finish their daring work and come to my car. I did not doubt that the fellow I had imprisoned in the piue box was an accomplice, and if they should find the door of the express-car locked, they would break it open to see what had become of him, and kill me if I resisted. This would enable them to take possession of the money. bullion and valuable packages and escape. I knew they would not kill any one if he did not resist ; and inside of live minutes they would demand an entrance to my car. Already the two robbers had nearly reached the farther end of the smokingcar; thousands of dollars were in my care; I must save it. Without any more hesitation I stepped to the platform of my car, grasped the lever that operated the Miller coupling, and, with a quick, strong pull, separated the two draw-heads. I was not a moment too soon. Before the engine and express-car had shot two hundred feet ahead of the train, the door of the smoking-car opened and the robbers stepped out. i heard their cry of rage, saw the flashes of their revolvers, and felt the bullets strike the woodwork behind me. Hurrying forward 1 told the engineer what 1 had done. ~ He heartily approved of my action, and his words reassured me. I had taken a desperate course, but 1 had saved a great deal of valuable property.

Some men are born fools but most fools are made to order. Everyone praises a success, and most people think they can plan one. If the greatest man who has overlived, should tell the truth, he would tell you, that how he came to be so great is a wonder great to him. It is oltener the case, that what a man forgets educates him more than what he remembers. It does not require great tact to write a long letter, but to write a good postscript to it. does. Patience is half-brother to laziness. Whenever a man is anxious to confide a secre-i to you, you can rest assured that he has confided it to a dozen other people before. The man who has a good deal to say, always says it in a few words. There is 110 flattery so pure, and so powerful, as to listen attentively to others. How are you to find out what kind of a man your neighbor is, when he cannot even te'l you himself. Critics and authors are a distinct class. There is a dozen good au-'hors to one good critic. A man is poor, just in proportiou a3he warts what lie not got, and cannot get. This world was rot made for any one in particular, and I feel sorry for those who think so. They will discover their mistake some cloudy day. My friend, when your relations all think you ure a fool, your success is almost assured. Destroy the looking-glass and you would put civilization back at least two thousand years. Don't forget, my snobbish friend, that you have got to d>e just the same as the rest of us,- and you cannot bury yourself either. Next to a snow-storm, for a decided nuisance, comes a holiday, in a great city. When a man does drop out of sight in a great city, you not only never hear from him again, but you cannot even find the hole lie fell through. It is the strongest possible argument for our immortality that nine out of every ten human beings believe in it. Politeness lias no creed. About half we know, we guess at, and the other half, somebody lias guessed at for us.

Lepers In India. A stranger in India visiting a bazar, or my public place, writes a correspondent the New York Oluercer, will be shocked at the wretched beings by whom ic will be immediately surrounded, each >ne asking an alms.

Hie maimed are there; and crawling at lis feet and imploring his pity and pence ire creatures in all stages of wretchedless and deformity: The leper, too, .is here, and holds up before the dismayed /isifor his hands frightful with the rnv iges of the pitiless disease that is consuming his life; or, leaning 011 a stick tnd hobbling painfu'lv along, directs atention to his stumps wrapped in loathsome rags; or. it these members arc sound, he implores the visitor to look ipon his marred visage. Leprosy in India is painfully prevalent, aid is found both in the mountains and ;he plains. It is said that there are at cast 12.1.000 of these wretched sufferers lerc, and one authority places the numjer at 200.000. The last census shows hat the diease is spreading in some parts )f India. The census of 1880 gave the lumber as 3,748. In the city of Bombay ilone there are now 430 lepers. The condition of no class of persons is so deplorable as that of the lepers.

Turning the board over n that tin; glass shall be at the bottom, 1 lave a little cell with a glass lloor. With he aid of a piece of paper gummed to he wings. I introduce a fly into this :avny in such a manner that the pulv'Mi hall rest upon the floor. Then, putting he board under.Uie microscope with the flass slide uppermost, we have the fly's eet under our c}Tes. The insect, struggling for liberty, places his pu'villi igainst the glass, and leaves after each libit traces that may be observed very Mstincily, for they are perfectly visible n a jrood light. We may discover, whenever the feet of he. fly come again into contact w>th these racks nr minute drops, that they are :omposcd of a very liquid substance, for bey spread quite readily on the glass. A'e cannot admit, as some naturalists asnine, that the liquid can hold the clubtiniif.d loiir-cnds bv suction. If this vcrc the case, the ends would change ihiipe during the suction, and would take he form of a disk.

Scientific American. A REMARKABLE AFFECTION THE STBAVOE PAWCIE3 THAT DISTIUOUISH HEUBOFHOBZA. Person* with a Dislike for Certain Streets, Place* or Object*?Other* who Droad Letter* or Colors* In the afternoon of one of the sunniest days last week two men got on a Madison avenue car going down town at the corner of Fifty-fourth street. One was a thin, pallid, rather craaciated gentleman, possibly forty years of age, with rather a peculiar transparency of the temples, restless eyes, and a singular nervousness of manner; the other large, well nourished, massive and rat her corpulent, with the placid, self-satisfied countenance of the niiin who has succeeded in the world, and feels on good terms with it. The pnir might readily have been mistaken for a madman and his keeper, only the feebler of the two was evidently not past the verge of sanity, while the placid companion was a trifle less vigilant than the custodian of a maniac ought to be, and moreover was recognized by at least one passenger as a famous physician. The thin gentleman shifted his position uneasilv. cazed out of the car win (low a moment, then studied the faces of his three or four fellow passengers with the rapid intensity of a physiognomist, and glanced furtively at the open door, in which the figure of the conductor was framed like a full-length photograph. "Fares, gents," grumbled that functionary, stalking into the ear. The thin gentleman paid for two, and again glanced in the direction of the open door. His hand shook as he replaced his pocketbook, and a shiver passed over him. His portly companion turned and spoke to him in a low tone. The words were inaudible, and the intonations were soft, soothing, and evidently expostulatory. Suddenly the pale passenger sprang to his feet, pulled the bell violently, and rushed out of the car, which was now midway between Forty-eighth and Fortyninth streets. The portly physician rose from his seat in a leisurely, comfortable sort of way. and alighted* at the corner of Forty-eighth street, where the car came to a full stop. The thin gentleman, excited, nervous, out of breath, and trembling all over like a leaf in the wind, joined the doctor and began to speak apologetically: "No use, you see.* I can't stand it. You really must excuse me, doctor." "Pooh! pooh!" laughed the portly physician. "You'll conquer the thing by and bye. Try again, my dear boy."' "I'll stop across an*.' take the elevated downtown, with your permission, doctor," said the thin gentleman, making no direct reply to his friend's exhortation. He lifted his neat Derby hat, with a hand that was almost pellucid in its delicacy and whiteness, and was gone. "That man," said the doctor, "is one of a hundred eases that have come under my notice in the last few years?a strange case of nervous imnression. lie is not in the least timid; will ride downtown in a Third avenue oar, a Broadway stage, or an elevated train, with perfect composure, but he lias a morbid, unconquerable nervous terror of the Fourth avenue, and would sulTer any inconvenience or incur any expense rather than ride in a Fourth avenue car. I can't trace this impression to any tangible cause, nor can he. He has never met with an accident on the Fourth avenue, so far as he remembers. It is simply one of those inexplicable, unreasoning, spontaneous impressions of the nervous system that no science can explain. The man is not a crank, nor in the least given to eccentricities of opinion or manners. On the contrary, his name is familiar as that of a shrewd banker. As to courage, he is as brave as a lion, as I have occasion to know, and would fight odds of ten to one, if his blood was up. Only, the moment he finds himself on a Fourth avenue car he is seized with a paroxysm of nervous terror which lie cannot control; and that is the end of it."' The doctor mused a moment. ''Walk across with me to my office," he said, "and I'll talk with you by the way. Such cases are by no means uncommon, though no paper haS ever been written on the subject, and there is no name for the malady in the medicaid books. The late Dr. George M. Beard?as able and acute as he was eccentric?invented the term neurophobia to describe the condition existing in such cases, and the singular thing ulrout this neurophobia is that it seldom occurs with women, given as they are supposed to be, to nervous impressions and hysterical fancies.'' In one of the doctors office journals there were notes of this case: A i aticnt, a man of tolerably robust and wellnourished physique, forty-six years old, lawyer by profession?cannot bear to cross Broadway at the Astor house. He will walk down to Fulton street or up to Park place, but cross under the shadow ofthcAstor house never. There is no assignable cause for the terror; it simply exists and that is all. It came upon him suddenly one afternoon two years ago, after a hard day's work in court. He started for the Astor house to get a cup of coffee and his regular half a dozen raw oysters. To his wonder, as lie was about to step from the curbstone at the corner of the postoflicc he was seized with a fit of trembling and terror, and since then he has never been able to command himself to cross at that point, though he has often tested his self-control by trying it. Another patient had the same terror of the Jersey City ferrv at the foot of Cortlandt street. The Brooklyn ferries have no terrors for him, the Desbrosses street ferry is not objectionible, but if his life depended upon crossing to Jersey City at Cortlandt street he could not command his nerves to accomplish it. As in the other two, there is no assignable cause for the morbid impression in this case. It came suddenly, and has been in existence for four years. it " /tAntinnnrl f Tin ilnntAr " i3UIllUtllllCa? V.IVII 1111 uuu iu^ uuvvvi, "the victim has a terror of a certain street, avenue, or public square; and one man I know cannot pass the statue of Lincoln at Union square without experiencing a nervous tremor. But, with regard to some of our outdoor statuary, nervous dread is natural enough." "One of my patients." he went on, "a literary man of some reputation, has a nervous terror of words ending in or containing the diphthong 'ch.' This man will take any trouble to avoid th tive pronoun 'which.' He ViirrS'not for years written any one of words terminating in tch?su^r'as catch, fetch, scratch, batch^iatch or patch. For match he aUjMWs writes lucifer or Vesu[ vian; for^Tetch" cither bring or obtain; for caVrfi, he uses capture or some other proximate. He has often ?ried to overcome the prejudice; but some how his hand begins to tremble, his breath comes short, and he cannot form the letters. For character he always writes flisposition, reputation, kind, description?anythin" that will pass muster as a substitute.'' Cases of ncurophobia as concerns colors are not uncommon. One of the doctor's patients?a woman this time? is driven into hysteria by a certain pale, cold shade of blue. And u nervous, fidgety little man, who called upon him to be treated for musicians' cramp, boxed Ilia n*irc 1*11 l)i< nivn nffifG for Wcarill!? a crimson scarf, ami begged his pardon for it, declaring that he could not control himself if his life depended upon it. The peculiar nervous affection illustrated in the preceding cases must not be confounded with the mere whimsical l prejudices and fancies common with inj valids. The latter, though persistent and often not easily banished by the well are by no means unconquerable, while in necrophobia the symptoms are physical in their description. The patient shrinks and shudders, and the terror, though groundless, is unconquerable as the dread of death.*?Neio York Sun. Cologne. Among the things which amused the author of "European Breezes'' was the ' only original"' cologne-water that she found in every store in the renowned city: If the rest of the world escapes that future place where all liars arc to go, the city of Cologne will make it populous. Nearly every man in that city sells can de cologne; and since each swears his to be the only original, it follows that cologne is made up of one liont st man and a multitude of liars. I bought cologne-water in the shop where the prettiest labels were displayed; paid a third more for it than I would pay for the imported article in New York, and came to this conclusion; that cau dc cologne is made in one huge vat in that city, and retailed to all these "only originals;" for it is all alike, from whence it comes. The maids in the hotel peddle it in the halls; the beggar who fails to get a coin from you brings from his pocket a bottle and endeavors to make a bargain. The bad odors of cologne are no fiction.

WISE WORDS. Hide the faults of others and make known their virtues. There is always a spot in our sunshine; it is the shadow of ourselves. To be happy is not the purpose of our being, but to deserve happiness. To persevere in one's duty and to be silent is the first answer to calumny. Whenever you doubt whether an in- ) tended action be good or bad, abstain from it. If a falseness paralyzed the tongue, what a death-like silence would pervade society. To look forward profitably we must look back. Experience of the pas* is the best light for the future. There are no persons more solicitous about the preservation of rank than those who have no rank at all. The coin that is most current among mankind is flattery, the only benefit of which is that by hearing what &c are not, we may be instructed what we ought to be. Think not you are the only one who has to endure and who dreads the hardships of life. Ease and comfort are the natural desires of the human heart, and there arc thorns, real or imaginary, in everyone's pathway. But sitting down and brooding will never bring power to overcome them. Rather be up and doing, thankful for the blessings yet remaining. Cause of Earthquakes and Volcanoes Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are closely related to each other, like ice and snow. Each may be the effect of a different cause, or both may result from the same cause, as there is evidently more than one cause at work to produce these effects. This statement will enable the general reader to form a tolerably clear idea of my meaning, and yet I am not satisfied with it myself. Therefore, I will vary it by saying that a chain of causes seem to combine, the different effects of which -a;e earthquakes and vo'canic eruptions. The most general cause of earthquakes 5a t1ir> tpnsion nnd pressure of the crust, by which the oscillations and plications thereof have been produced. The tension and pressure have been caused by the shrinking and contracting of the crust, consequent upon its cooling. Plications are caused by a lateral or side, pressure, in consequence of the contracting of the crust, whereby the strata, if of clay, loam, etc., arc thrown into waves, or ridges, giving an appearancc something like a fated column. I will give a familiar example of the forces that produce slight earthquakes, in order that the young may have a clearer idea upon the subject. On building n fire in a stove, when the pipe begins to heat it will expand. At first there is a tension so slight that the iron of the pipe is able to resist it, but as the heat increases the strain or tension, overcomes the resistance suddenly, as a stick breaks when the strain is too great, and with a cracked sound. This is caused by expansion; but similar phenomena will result from contraction when the heat is subsiding. Thus it is with the errth's crust. The straining, by either contraction or expansion, causes some place to yield with a loud report, instead of a "cracking," as in the case of a stove pipe. If this event occurs near a volcano then an eruption ensues. Also, as there is a reflex action, terminating on the surface of the ocean of internal tire, an upheaval of the crust results, and if tViprn is !in ocean of water immediately above ft tidal wave must he the consequence. Furthermore, should this slight shock of earthquake open a fissure in the crust, from a fountain of water to the ocean of fire, then the water being suddenly converted into steam, with not room enough in which to expand, other shocks will follow, attended by upheavals, earthquake waves and volcanic disturbances. These will continue for a shorter or longer period, and be slight or heavy, according to the amount of water precipitated, the size of the fissure and other conditions.?Portland (Ur.)% Went Shore. About the "First Floors." The Build in// and' Engineering Times of London, England, the leading architectural journal of Great Britain, gives the following interesting account of how the people of Great Britain came to call that tloor the first floor which Americans call the second floor: In the London edition of the Detroit Free Press, Mr. Luke Sharp gi ves a most humorous account of the venerable citv | of Chester, as seen by him during half an j hour's stay between trains. Speaking of I flin fnmnns Ohnsfpr rows, which annear to have interested him more than anything as being the evident progenitors of the New York elevated railways, he pertinently asks why English people call the "second lloor'' the "first floor," the Americans culling what with us is the ground or parlor floor the "first floor ?" In order to satisfy Mr. Luke Sharp's very legitimate curiosity, we must travel very far back in the history of house building ?as far back, in fact, as the pile houses of the ancient lake-dwellers. Houses built on piles in the water at some distance from the snore of a lake arc intelligible enough as a means of safety and isolation from human and other enemies. As civilization advanced and the danger of sudden attacks ceased ; these lake dwellings became gradually transferred to dry land, the spaces between the piles being at first left open to the four winds of heaven, entrance to the apartment, on the first and only floor being gained bv means of a rude 'adder or a notched tree trunk, gradually the spaces between the piles were filled, and an additional room, so to speak, was gained, which was at first used as a stable, a granary, or store-house as in Turkey, Greece, Southern Italy and Switzerland, where the upper story is truly tlie first floor, the lower portion of the house being simply paved with brick or stone, or in manv cases lelt in its original eavthen condition. In his "Notes by a Naturalist, on thcChaWenger," page Professor _Mo?.t'icv, apropos of the pile dwellings, at ihe inhabitants or New (iuijaev ingeniously derives the modern "Swiss peasant's chalet from the watery homes of the ancient lakemen, the \ present balcony being simply a survival of the old platform to which tin' lake- i dwellers climbed from their canoes.

The term Blue Grass Region of Ken- i tucky is quite extensive in its applica- ' tion, but in its popular sense it applies only to the remarkable body of land in > the center of the State, which comprises ' six or eight counties surrounding Lexington. This favored district, which scientific authority has styled "the very heart of the United States," is underlaid i by a decomposable limestone, which im- 1 parts to the soil an unsurpassed fertility, 1 and gives to our grass, known to bota- \ nists as Poc Pretensis, a rich and perma- , nent luxuriance which it attains nowhere '< eise. Hence the term "The Blue Grass Region," a synonyme for the acme of fer- j tility of a district which also bears the ] proud distinction 01 "ine garuen spot ui i the world." But why our grass is called 1 ' blue." when it never is blue, is one of the unsolved problems. It is always green except when in bloom, when the j heads have a brownish-purple tiut. If, however, the term'-Blue Grass!"is meant i for an abbreviation of blue limestone 1 grass, then it will do, for certainly it only 1 reaches its highest perfection on our wonderful blue limestone soil. Propa- J eated without cultivation it comes up thick and juicy early in the spring, ripens in June, renews its growth in autumn, and, retaining its verdure in spite of snow j and ice, furnishes abundant and un- I equalled pasturage during the entire winter.

It appears, in fact, that of about a hun- j dreel churches reported to have been j struck by lightning, only three were pro- j vided with conductors: thafr of thrsc three the first had a conductor in good order, and the building was uninjured; the second had a conductor of zin<; wire, which melted, and of course left the structure without protection; the third had a wire which was rusty where it joined the earth, and the church was burned.

A pleasing occurrence which has just come ) our notice in connection with the New rork State meeting o! the Grand Army of le Republic is so unusual in many respects lat we venture to reproduce it for the benet of our readers.
