I knorr not where suah a fair land may be; bat a Paradise kingdom lies close to mo lathe hearts of tho children dear, it is blessed and blithe and shining. And never knows aught of sin; liut, except ye become as tho little chil dren. Ye cannot enter in. I hear of a country whoro angels dwell. Where rapturous melodies cast their spell.

Farhaps • Mound Bnllderm’ City. The site of a prehistoric town is being uncovered by the gradual wash ing away of the “bine banks” along the Ohio River between Lawson’s and Ulnrm’s Buns, a short distance above Portsmouth. As evidence of this, the remains of perfect chimneys and hearths are frequently exposed to vie*. In each case there is a layer of stones covered with wood ashes. The space covered by each hearth is sel dom more than two feet. The theory is that the village was abandoned by the mound builders ages ago on ac count of some great flood, and that, during the long term of years that has elapsed, owing to falling leaves, mois ture and other causes, tho fireplaces became covered with a stratum of •oil. The remains have been discov ered* from time to time; gonerally af ter a freshet in tho river, for* over fifty ycara.—Cincinnati Commercial- Tribune. •* A Kentucky candidalo for office, fearing bis rival would beat him, Sad up a “ghost” out of iwo box ._** *nd ssnt it abroad at night, bear* tg tbe advice to vote for him or lies vm the wrath to come. SCIENTIFIC SCRAPS. A Brazilian doctor says that coffee is a certain enre tor anaemia.

Miss Eleanor Ormerod declares that the English cockroach is in danger of extermination before the hordes of imported German black beetles. What is probably tbe largest loco motive in the world has jnstbeen com pleted and weighs, with the tender, over 285,000 pounds. It is for use in Mexico. Munich used to be notorious for its excessive typhoid fever death-rate, it being twenty-nine per 10,000 in 1850. With the introduction of a pure water supply and improved sewer system it has fallen to less than two per 10,000. The Semaine Medical publishes de tails of the successful experiments made in Naples by Cantaui in making guinea pigs immune against the influ enza poison by vaccinating them with sterilized cultures of the influenza bacillus. Professor George Lincoln Goodale of Harvard university says that there are now about 200,000 species of plants, divided into flowering and flowerless plants, and although nearly all of the flowering varieties might be used for food, only about 1000 are so used and only 300 are frequently. In a paper read before the Paris Academy Of Sciences, M. Jaequemin communicated the results of experi ments showing that leaves of fruit trees, vines, etc., develop a strong bouquet of the fruit when soaked in alcohol. He thinks the quality of a poor vintage might bo improved by the addition of some leaves during fermentation. Chromlo IthanmatUna. From (hs Industrial Newi, Jackson, JReA.

Carroll Hamilton of Flat Creek, Bath county, are among the most extensive farmers in this section of the country, and they are also very successful. And why? Be cause they go at it in a business-like manner. These gentlemen own and manage four large farms, one in this county, one in Bath, one in Ohio and one in Missouri. They employ Colonel Gumf, an expert bookkeeper, whose duty it is to keep an open ac count with every field on each of these farms. Reports are made to the colonel every day of the amount of work done in each field and every thing in tbe way of cost to produce any article in these fields is charged up to it, just the same as a mer chant would charge you with any article you might purchase from his store. So when the crop is sold they always know whether they have made or lost money. This is a system, we venture to say, very few farmers in Kentucky practice, and while most every farmer will admit that it is a good one, still very few of them will follow the example of these gentle men. The trouble with a great many «f our farmers these days is that they like to be in town too much. If they would stay at home except when they have business in town they would be better off. Now, we don’t w ant our friends who are landowners to t^ko offense at this, for we aie interested in their success. When the farmers are successful everybody will prosper, and that is why we make the sugges tion that they give their laud more attention instead of sitting around on drygoods boxes in town whittl ing sticks.—Mt. Sterling (Ky.) Sen tinel Democrat. ed, making him almost a halploss invalid. But the B05 Would Not Keep Still. A dog caused some commotion at a prominent East Side church Sunday evening. He sneaked into the church and kept fairly quiet until the ba^s so loist was singing a beautiful selection, “Wait Thou Still.” But the dog did not heed the injunction of the singer. He barkeA right out in meeting, and some of the audience smiled. Just as the singer concluded his song the dog gave forth one sharp vigorous bark, as if of approval. The singer did not show any signs of interruption, bnt it certainly was somewhat trying on his nerves to sing while this dog was walking up and down the aisle. Tha preacher saw the dog before he barked, and so ludicrous was the situation that the preacher could not refrain from langhing. The dog was hustled out of church, bnt not until he had entered a protest in theshape of barks and growls.—Columbus Dispatch. An Ancient Deed. A New Haven man is the owner of a valuable historical document, the deed of forty acres of land in Portland, which was conveyed in 1733 to the Rev. Moses Bartlett, for a considera tion of $500. The paper is intact, save where it has been folded. At tbe conclusion are affixed twenty seals of twenty Indians. The seals are of red wax,' and a coin was evidently used in stamping the seals, as slight traces of a crown can bo found in sev eral of them. m xu. soma or wka rara.

About one year and six months ago ho read in this paper of a case somewhat similar to his which was cured by Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and concluded to try this remedy. After taking the first box he felt some what better, and after using three boxes, the pains entirely disappeared, the dizzi ness left him and he has now for over at year been entirely free from nil his former trouble and enjoys better health than he has had since bis boyhood.

From what the Committee learnod from a conversation with Mr. Jackson. U seems that the ootton, with careful cultivation, will yield three bales per acre easily, and too evidence of such t»*-t has presented itself to us nftrr said Investigation. The cotton iteelf is absolutely without limbs, the bolls maturing on little prongs two or three inches long, kn< wn as “fruit spur, with no other imts; there being from two to five bolls on each spur. The stalks In the Held, examined by us, are from four to ten feet tall, accord ng to the fertility of the soil, as fruited from the ground up.
