CURIOUS AND SCIENTIFIC. 1?A0E is now coming into nae for brow ing purposes. Tho beor produced from it is anid to bo superior in color and il ?ivor. AT Middletown, Delaware, an immense peach refrigerator ia to bo built, ca pable of holding '200,000 baskets of fruit, which the projector gu?ranteos to keep by a peculiar freezing process for ?ix months. IN ono of tho French departments there ia a "society for the proteotion of birds useful to the farmer." All nests found are reported to the society and protected by it. In the past year the society protected 211 nests, from which came 001 birds. Timnn are two million bee-hiyea in the United States. Every hive yields, on an average, a little over twenty pounds of honey. The average price at which honey is sold ia 25 couts a pound. So that, after paying their own board, our bees present us with a revenue of over 86.800,000. TT is stated now that the secret force which the Keely motor operates by is nothing moro nor less than corbonie acid. The water is enormously charged with it, ami then it ia liberated, by a simple process, in such quantities and strength aa tho operator may desire. S? that, after all, tito basia of the whole business is nothing but tremendously strong soda-water. AJ?.old lady in Now York particularly desired that a certain cushion on which she sat in church should bo buried with her, and ns there was a diffioulty about getting it into her coffin it was luckily proposed to cut it, when several thou sand dollars in greenbacks came to light. Tho old lady was clearly re solved that, if she did bring nothing in to tho world, she would nt all events, as far aa possible, take something out of it. GTTNH and riilos may easily bo cleaned from )eud_by tho following: If a muzzle loader, stop lip tho nipple or communi cation hole with a little wax, or if a breech-loader insert a cork in tho breech rathor t ightly ; next pour some quick silver into tho barrel, and put another cork in tho muzzle, then proceed to roll it up and down the barrel, shaking it about for a few minutes. Tho mercury and lead will form and amalgam, and leave the barrel as clean and freo from lead as the first day it oamo out of the shop. Tho same quicksilver can bo need repeatedly by straining it through wash-leather ; for tho lead will bo loft behind in tho leather, and the quick silver will bo again lit for use. TUE French utilize chicken feathers in the following way, which is pro nounced a decided improvement ou tho old method : The plume portion of tho feathers are cut from tho stem by means of ordinary hand scissors. These are placed in quantities in a course bag, which, when full, is dosed and anb jected to a thorough kneading with the hands. At the end of live minutes the feathers disaggregated are felted to gether, forming a down almost homo geneous and of great lightness. It is Baid to be lighter than natural eider down, because tho latter contains tho ribs of the feathers, which gives extra weight. About one and six-tenths troy ounces can bo obtained from ono pullet, and it pells in Paris for about two dol lars a pound. A FARMER boy in Ohio, observing a ?-iur,ll Hock of quail in his father's corn field, resolved to watch their motioiiB. They pursued a very regular course iu their foraging, commencing on one side of tho field, taking about live rows, and following them uniformly to thc oppo ' site end, returning in the same rnaunor over tho next five rows. They contin ued in thia course until they had ex plored the greater portion of the fiold. Tho lad, suspicious that thoy wore pull ing up tho corn, (ired into the Hock, killing but ono of them, and ho pro ceeded to examino tho ground. In the wliolo space over which t icy had trav eled, ho found but one stalk of corn dis turbed. This was nearly scratched oui iA tho ground, but tho ground still rut? hcred to it. In the craw of ths quail ho . found ono cut-woim, twenty-ouo striped vine bugs, and ono hundred chinch bugs, but not a singlo grain of corn. The Lund of Horse. A correspondent writes : Tho mo- ? mont you enter tho famous Blue Grass ? region you hoar nothing but horse talk. Tho whole sect ion lives upon pedigree?. , Thc stable-boys banter pt digrees in a . nomenclature of their own. Tho men utter pedigrees with ft volubility like ; tho flowing of a never-euding stream. Even the ladies of polite society will chatter pedigree?, and talk as fluently of siro and dam a? if (hey had received their accomplinhm'outs in tho precinct? . of tho breeding portions of the stock farms.' Everywhere it is horse, mare, filly, foal, gelding. Tho stables ore . swarming with them, tho afreets aro al?vo with them, the fields aro dotted with them like tho cattle on a thousand hills ; and tho visitors, eveu though ho came morely to seo", has a sooretivt ness and obstinacy moro profound than tho mysteries of tito Sphinx, if he does not I my, before ho comes away, some little ?puno speeimeu for which he Ima no earthly uso. There is a certain free masonry or brotherly love among tho horse-dealers of Kentucky. If ono breeder has nothing in the horse line to answer your demands, ho will furnish you with a saddle horse and accompany you for miles around tho neighborhood to inspect stock which ho is sure will just snit your fanoy. Their houses are thrown open to your ? entertainment. Tho rarest wino of corn nnd the freshest of mint, nuc? the richest of Alderney cream and the tenderest of spring chickens ure offered, with a princely generosity, to feed tho flame of your horse fever, which must not bo allayed tiil you hnvo left your money behind you on some of tho stock fnrniH. That is tho logic of all tho attentions and pedigrees and horse enthusiasm, and it is wonderful how tho interest is kept up year aftor year, and how the BurpluB funds of our wealthy horse functors arc poured, with au increasing volume, into tho coffers of tho stock-raisers of the Blue Grass regions. Stewart's Saratoga Investments. A correspondent writes from Sara toga to the Philadelphia Times : A. T. Stewart is just now our biggest liou, and a great sensation he is creating here just at present among thu local merchants. Yon seo, after spending 8400,000 on his big hotel, tho Grand Union, he found that ho had two ele gant stores to let. With characteristic enterprise he fitted thom np in elegant stylo, and is moving in a stock of goods. Now the storekeepers he~e, notwith standing that this very day should re mind them that ours is n fri o country, declare that A. T. S. has no business to come here to undersell them nnd rule their trade, but tho big merchant does not see tho t hing in that light, and laughs at tho terribly exercised mer chants. Stewart is indeed a remark able man. He is a little, thin, wiry fellow, with a palo, thoughtful face, light blue, reflective eyes, reddish, gray short whiskers, and very quiet in mini ner. He dresses in black, and goes peering into every nook and coi ner of the storo in a way that makes his em ployes very nervous. When talking he invariably twirls his eyeglass on his linger or pats tho palm of his hand with a black glove. When you speak to him ho looks at you searchingly for a moment before he replies, as if to read you through, a habit that arises from hill wonderful faculty of reading human nature. Ho is not so serious as ho lins been painted : on tho con trary, he is fond of a joke, and yester day, while superintending the arranging of the goods m his store, he frequently laughed at tho idaaa presented by his managing mau. He carno up on Friday night and passed the entire day in his store. Indeed, I Raw him there ns late ni half past eleve* o'clock at night. That is how he got rich, by attending to his business in person. Stewart bought tho Union a few years ago for 8050,600. Since thou ho has spent as much more lipon the structura in enlarge ments and improvements, until now it is the most extensive nnd perfect car avansary in tho world. Ho and his wife occupy a suite of three rooms in the hotel directly over the main en trance. They have been finely but not lavishly fitted up for him, each window being provided with a little balcony, nicely shaded by thc fine old trees that extend along the entire front of the hotel, airs. Stewart is a mild, unpretentious lady, with an exceedingly amiable countenance, nnd conversc-i cor dially with her friends. They are, in fact, the most undemonstrative eouplo here and ono would hardly imagine, to judge from their manner, t.hnt they were, with one or two exeoptions, the wealthiest people in America. Mr. Stewart says he intends expending a further largo sum on tho improvement and enlargement of tho Union next winter. It is ono of his pet projects, and he proposes giving it corresponding attontion. ? Fish Culture in Tennessee. Tho cultivation of shad and salmon in our rivers is an experiment. If it succeeds it will bo a great benefit to our people, but whether it succeeds or fails, wo know that bass and jack will flourish in our waters, and au effort shonld be made to obtain a legislative apporpriation for their propagation. Nothing can be dono in this direction, however, until the professional fisher men who depend upon what they catch for their subsistence, learn that nil game laws which prevent tho extermin ation of gnmo fish TC in their own interest ; and that instead of trying to evade, it will pay then better to prose cute every violation. For instance, just after the war, all tho creeks and rivers, were swarming with bass, or trout, and jack, and tho fishermen sold them readily at fifteen and twenty cents per pouud. A few fishermen placed gill nets at thfl mouths of tho creeks and tho consequence is that scarcely any bass or jack liavu been brought to tho market hore this year. Nothing is seen but catlish and drum which find a slow sale at eight cents per pound. Thus tho fishermen cnn see that tl.'.o greed of a few who own gili nets, have cut off their profits on fishing nearly ono half. Theso appropriations for stocking rivers with tish, and tho gnmo laws to prevent catching fish during tho spring senson, or exterminating Hiern by gill nets, aro not for the benefit of anglers or sportsmen only, but for the good of the outiro community and especially for tho professional fishermen. All that is heccessary for success is to con vince tho fishermen of this fnot, which their own experience in this country has already done, and they will be clamorous for the ?nhctmout of gnmo laws and energotic in seeing to their enforcement.-Chattanooga Times, -The modern school gLd must have queer ideas. In ri conversation with a New York roporter at a Vassar hop. ono of them qucrricd, "Aro you single?" an affirmative answer being given. Thou sho asked thoughtfully, "Do editora over get rich ?" Tho "pencil heaver" again replied in tho affirmative, and in stanced several leading journalists, awl thou added, "I leave for New York to morrow, and it will take me three days to pay my taxes and cut the coupons off my bonds !" 'fis it possible!*' replied tho miss, " and you so young, too," INDIA RUBBER SPIRITS. 77/.: &W<?VM Departure nf Min Kuli! Kin-i from Brooktun Soci? ';/. Mrs. Jennie Holmes, tko materializ ing medium of Philadelphia, has re ceutly resumed operations iu Brooklyn, and tho last issue o? thu Spiritualist Banner of Eight contains an account of her devious and wicked ways, as ob served by tlie Brooklyn society of spir itualists. A committee of the society spends six evenings ni her seances, furnishing her with tho necessary cabinet, at tho society's hall, on Fulton avenue. The "conditions"'were simply a muslin bag, loosely stitched together, which the medium drew around her, and its mouth was tied over her head. Then she was seated in tho cabinet, and put out the arm of John King through a bole in the door. Then she put out his other arni, and then his india-rubber face, with its black whiskers, well known to Philadel phia fame. Thou she put out Katie's face, hoing her own, namely ; but no one fouud it out at the first seance. At the second seance two of alfi. Holmes' black curls bung down over Katie's face, and this "gave rise to tho sus picions." Therefore the bag was ex amined, and was found to have trick seams which opened and closed by pulling a thread. It was sup gos ted to airs. Holmes at tho third seance that it would be woll if tho lady present could bold her hands while tho manifesta tions went on. Auother lady olVj-red to pin her to thc door carpet tu sro if Katie would walk forth materialized under those conditions. Mrs. Holmes declined to alford these aids to awak ened thought. An extremely skeptical geutlemi n observed that John King did not walk forth, aud that Ins india rubber face had no breath in its nos trils, while lovely Katie on the other band, always came forth iu a white muslin bag, and had a warm human breath. At the sixth seance, therefore, Mrs. Holmes was sought to he searched by a committee of ladies desirous of discovering spirit-faces concealed about ber persou. I hit to that she demurred, and being disencumbered o? her muslin bag for the last time, became suddenly faint and must have air. Therefore she tottered from thr> room very sick ; but the fresh air immediately beyond the door so revived her that she ran away like the wiud, and never was beard of in that place again. " Where fore," concludes the committee iu its report, "wo think she was a fraud"-or words to that effect. Von Moltke on West Point. I am asked why neither side in the civil war in Amoru a produced a very distinguished general. Even their re spective partisans hardly claim auy leader of transcendent genius. Iii so long a war, and where so many men fought, does it not imply a lack of military talent in the Americans? I answer, no. The truo reason was be cause their field of selection was so limited No oflieer could hopo to attain thc supreme command of their armies unless be had been a student at their military academy, called West Point, on tho Hudson riv"r,?.. thr State of New York. Tko mincer of these students, deserving as they might be, was ami is extremely limited. The southerners adopted the same per nicious system of exclusiveness, as many of these West Point ollicers had joined their side, and their president bad also been at tho academy. It was, perhaps, fortunate for the north that tho south did not seek for talent among the mass of its people. It is said, I know not how truly, that the genius of a civilian, Ericsson, by the invention of a monitor, alone saved the northern navy from destruction. It is evident that tho chance of ob taining a distinguished general in creases as the field of selection widens, and diminishes as it contracts. In our army every soldier may aspirt to the snpreme command, but in the American armies the line of delimit ation was drawn as deeply as between thc former slaves and their masters. Tho volunteer who represented tin great bulk and strength of tho people might, indeed, attain distinction in a subordinate position, but the highest place of all was forbidden. In readiug tho records of the American civil war, it really appears as if the whole contest was between a few ollicers of West Point, and the mighty heart of tho nation bad never throbbed. This uris tocratic system, which tho Americans still follow, was formerly thc practice in all European armies. In thc revel ution of 171)3, Carnot, tho French min ister of war, first abandoned it, and wi have followed. For the sake of example, and not. binding ourselves to any exactness of ligures, except that tho one is very small, and its opposite, with which it is compared, very large, let no suppose the number o? Weit Point olliccn? to !>;: five hundred, and the number of Prus sian soldiers ii vu hundred thousand. Evidently, as wo have a furn! a thou sand larger to draw upon, to render the chances of obtaining a great general equal, each American must possess a thonsand fold tho talent of tl Prussian, which is absurd. A Desperate Duel With a Bowie knife. A most frightful and fatal affray oc curred at Eberhardt City on Saturday last, at about. 5 o'clock p. M., between two mon by tho name of Jackson and Beck. Tho fernier was recently from Arizona, and tho latter has been a resi lient in Eberhardt City for the past few mouths, eugagod iii keeping a saloon. Tho two had a quarrel some time before tho fatal meeting, in which Jackson made an assault upon Beek with aknifo, but was driven off by Beck with a fire shovel. Some three or four hours niter this Jackson returned to Beck's saloon, and, while the latter was standing in the doorway, Jackson plunged an eight inch bowie-knife to the hilt in Bock'? Bide, and tho two clinched, and a very fieros encounter ensued, Jackson utting his kuifvj and fatally stabbing P,p<*':, who, however, succeeded in freeing him snlf from Jackson, and ran aa far as Dana's saloon, a distance of sixty yards, when bo was overtaken by Jackson, who waa pursuing his victim with a bloody and fiendish intent. Beck at thin placo called for protection, but before tho as tonished bystanders could render him ssistauce, tho human fiend hntl dono is work ; ho had given poor Beck flvo ital stabs. At this junoturo, n party y th i name of Brown, seeing what was oiug on, knocked Jackson off from tho orch into the street with u chair, and ?bile he was down, Beek, whiln actually yiug, crawled to Jackson, and taking iio knife which had boen used upon im, he plunged it into Jackson's breast, iviug him a fatal wound. Beck died Imost immediately after hoing sepn nted from Jackson, aud tho latter was rought to tho county jail, where lie Tigered until Wednesday last, when oath ended his career. No ono hero bouts knows anything of the former areer of Jackson ; all that is known is is statement that ho was from Arizona. Jock was considered a peaceable man, nd loaves an invalid widow to mourn is untimely end. The Sacrifice of Human Life. The sacrifice of human lifo during he past six months has been simply ap talling, as will be shown by tho stivtis ics which we print below. lu makiug ip this record we have made HBO only of he great disasters which have been re torted by telegraph. Tho minor casu alties it is impossible to estimate. Epi lemies have beeu the most severe de troyers of life, although neither the iholera nor the plague has ravaged any ?art of the world. In tho Fiji Islands doun 50,000 peoplo have perished by hcasulS and other diseases introduced lince thc annexation of those islands to Jroat Britaiu. This unusual fatality rom a comparatively innocuous disenso he London Times explains upon the jronnd that the European nations have lecome hardened to it, aud that it was lo8tructive to these islanders because bey wero haviug it for the first time md wero not accustomed to this boon of british civilization. Earthquakes como lecond in the list of destroying clements, mving killed ovor 20,000 people. Wo nive no record of tho loss of lifo by the econt earthquakes and accompanying rolcauic disturbances in Iceland, but here have been four other earthquakes rom which tho loss of life has been riven approximately ns follows: In Now .ramula", 1(5,000; iii Asia Minor, 2,000; ti the Loyalty Islands whore the earth quake was accompanied by a terrible idal-wave, 2,000 ; and at San Cristobal, \Iex?c ), 70. A famine in Asia Minor dar ug the early part of the year swept off ?0,000 peoplo before relief could reach he o filleted region. Floods como next v. the disastrous catalogue, thoir rav ines having been almost exclusively con 5ucd to Europe. Tho overflow of tho 3aronne in the southern part of France lest roved 3,000 lives, and that of the Danube in Fes th (?00. While our own xmutry was severoly ravaged by doods luring tho spring, especially in tho louthwest and in Pennsylvania, their lestruction was couliued to property. Wo cnn find no evidence that more than ux lives were lost by them, although nany of them were very sudden and iwopt everything before thom, being iccompanied, as they wore, with hugo nasses ol' ice. The marine disasters of tho past six mouths have been pecu liarly destructivo of life. Fifty-four vessels, nearly all of them steamers, aave gone down, taking with them 1,003 persons, the most prominent of which ur, tho following : Tho Schiller, ofi* ho Scilly Islands, 310 ; tho Gotten icrg, oil'the Australian coast, 166 ; thc Judiz, 02 ; tho Fu Sing, a Chiueso iteamor, 50; the American ship Violetta, 12; the Vicksburg, collision with ice >ergs, 10; tho Thoriuibiu, 20; tho fortes, 26; the George Batters, 21 ; tho Bride; Berat*, Berlin (Japanese), and ho Alice, 20 each ; and tho Loch lager, 10. There have beeu other lovoro disasters on the South Vmerican, Chiuone, and English ?oasts which involved a serious os8 of lifo, but it is impossible to esti mate them, as tho telegraph furnishes io record. The season has been un usually characterized by tornadoes and mrricnues, and of these there have been .ighteon which have been accompanied >y loss of life, as follows : In Hong Kong, 500; Georgia, 817; Chili, GO; Louisiana, 20; Franco, ll ; Missouri, i; Mississippi, ll ; Arkansas, 5 ; Mich? gan, ll ; Wisconsin, .'5 ; Illinois, 3 ; South Carolina, 2, and Kansas, 1 ; total, )11. Thirty-five fires have been re ported, hy which 304 lives have been iticrifieed. Only three of these have L>eeu accompanied by a heavy Joss of life, being the burning of a match fac ory at G< Ittenberg, Sweden (50 ;) dca mera at New Orleans (75); and the .?canfc Holyoke (Muss.) church disaster 02). Explosions, mainly in this couu ?ry, have killed 207 people, ns follows : Fire-damp, 122 ; boilers, 18 ; gunpow ler, 21 ; Oro works, 9 ; nitro-glycerine, I ; chemicals, 3. Tho railroads^ in thia jouutry at least, have not beeu eo pro lific in the destruction of life as usual. Ml hough 17 disasters havo boen re ported, but 43 people have beeu killed, ho largest number iu any siuglo disas ter being but 7. The list of injured, ?owev >r, foots up 248.
