The Will of Watt.
John Watt, the famous English engin
eer, did one aggravating thing. In one
of the upper stories of an old mansion in
the suburbs of Birmingham, he had his
workshop, and by his will it was enjoined
that the room and its contents should
not be disturbed. So the room remains
to this day as Watt left it; and in it are
various cabinets and drawers filled, not
only with the finest examples of Wedg
wood’s plaques, but with the priceless
designs and moulds, many of which are
by Flaxman, who was one of Wedgwood’s
friends, and helped essentially in the
models from which Wedgwood worked.
From a merely mecantile point of view,
the value of these unfinished works must
be immense.
The Early Inhabitants of Mexico.
The Boston Transcript says: From
investigations conducted by Edward
Palmer in that portion of the United
States acquired from Mexico, he is led
to believe that the district was inhabited
by two distinct classes of Indians. They
were distinguishable by the mode of
disposing of their dead, by the character
of their dwellings and by the nature of
their domestic arts. Historical (Spanish)
evidence is misleading as to this, in Dr.
Palmer’s opinion. The Spanish histori
ans who charged the Indians of the City
of Mexico with offering up human sacri
fices to their gods, did the Indians an
injustice. These Indians were erema-
tionists, and observed simply the usual
custom of burning their dead. At the
present day pure Aztecs or cremationists
are found in the frontier provinces, while
those of the richer portion of Mexico
have, from various ciroumstances, been
compelled to abandon ancient usage in
this respect. In Arizona we have the
Apache, Mojave and Cocopah tribes; in
Nevada the Digger Indians, that bum
their dead. The Indians in California,
through the influence of the Roman
Catholic Chnrch, bury their dead. The
other division of Mexican Indians, the
Toltecs, were those who bury their dead.
The Peno Indians, of Arizona, the
Moqni and the Yuma, of New Mexico,
preserve the old custom unchanged,
while the other tribes have modified
their usages in accordance with the re
quirements of the Roman Catholic
Church. Both thejcities and dwellings
of the two classes differed. For reasons
of their own the Spaniards exaggerated
the size and importance of the City of
Mexico. Dr. Palmer says it must have
been but a collection of small one or two
story buildings of adobe or sun-dried
bricks, and in some cases the houses
were constructed of upright poles with
sticks laced between and mud closing the
interstices. On the other hand, the
dwellings of the inhumanists, the Tol
tecs, the neighbors of the cremationary
Aztecs, were of a superior kind. They
were of three stories, and several families
lived in them. They assisted the Span
iards against the Aztecs, and the Span
iards having furnished the Toltecs with
superior arms and facilities of war, they
abandoned the communal form of life.
All evidence goes to show that the Az
tecs derived from the Toltecs the art of
constructing articles of clay. Briefly,
in architecture, agriculture and the
science of government the Toltecs ex
celled; in war and the chase the Aztecs
surpassed the Toltecs. The original
Aztecs look like Japanese, the Toltecs
like Chinese; and the resemblance, in
Dr. Palmer’s view, was not confined to
features, but extended to manners and
customs.
An Indian’s Notion of Weight.
A Manitoba (British America) corres
pondent of the New York Evening
Post writes about the Indians of that
section and their trading operations with
the employees of the Hudson Bay Com
pany. He says : Sometimes, however,
the trade does not go on so smoothly.
When the stock of pemmican and robes
is small the Indians object to seeing
their pile go for a little parcel of tea and
sugar. The weighing-balance and steel
yard are their especial objects of dislike.
Failing to comprehend the nature of
those machines, or how a small quantity
of one article may equal a large quantity
of another, they propound* conundrums
like thiR: “ For why you put on one
side tea or mtgnr, and on the other a lit
tle bit of iron? We don’t know what
medicine that is ; but, look here, put on
one side of that thing that swings a bag
of pemmican, and put on the other side
blankets and tea and sugar, and then,
when the two sides stop swinging, you
take the pemmican and we will take the
blankets and the tea ; that will be fair,
for one side will be as big as the other. ”
This very luminous idea elicits uni
versal satisfaction all around. Every
Indian of them all grunts his unquali
fied approval, until the trader quietly
observes: “Well, let it be as you say.
We will make the balance swing level
between the bag of pemmican and the
blankets, but we will carry out the idea
still further. You will put your beaver
and marten skins on one side, I will put
against them on the other my blankets,
and my gun and ball and powder ; then,
when both sides are level, you will take
the ball and powder and blankets, and I
will take the marten and the rest of the
fine furs !” This unique proposition sud
denly illumines the mind of the ingen
uous Indian on the question of weighing-
balances and steelyards, and after some
deliberation it is firmly resolved to abide
by the old plan of letting the white
trader decide the weight himself in his
own way ; for it is clear that the steel
yard is a very great medicine which no
brave can understand, and which can
only be manipulated by a white medi
cine-man.
Investigations on Butter.
Good, fresh butter possesses the well
known agreeable taste and a slight smell
of milk, while rancid butter smells very
disagreeably. The latter may bo con
verted into an eatable food by treatment
with water, in which case the soluble
rancid parts are removed. The taste and
color of the butter depend upon the
class of animals and the fodder used.
Its color is often adulterated by means
of small quantities of beet roots or other
plants possessing coloring power. The
coloring matter may be detected by
treating the butter with strong alcohol.
Butter fat is a complex substance, con
taining varying proportions of eight
different acids. Pure butter dissolves
readily in ether, forming a clear lemon
yellow liquid, while hog’s lard, beef fat,
mutton fat and tallow form turbid,
milky solutions. The fat of pure butter,
when saponified with soda lye, yields a
soap less hard and firm than that pro
duced by adulterated butter.
Attractive Homes.
There is use in beauty, says the Rural
Messenger. It makes home attractive,
its exterior more respectable, our lives
happier, our dispositions sweeter, and
our social and domestic intercourse more
! refined. By all means plant some little
thing of grace to temper the rugged
surroundings of the front yard. Its
silent, though eloquent language, will
speak to the visitor or the passer-by a
word of eulogy for you. The least
flower or shrub will be some attraction ;
’ a curved path winding between trees to
the house, a mound of stoues and shell
I with the ivy trailing over them, the
flowering shrubs or the turf of fein—all
such things are attractive and fovm a
pleasing object for the eye of even the
most indifferent beholder.
How Woman Love* and Suffers,
'As a reporter waa walking through
one of the streets on the South side, he
saw a woman sitting on a horse-block in
front of a saloon, weeping bitterly. The
reporter stopped and asked her if he
could aid her in any way, for she was a
neat, tidy little woman, with a pleasing
and honest face. After several ques
tions the story came out. Her husband,
who is a workman, had been paid some
money that morning, and had gone to
this saloon and was carousing inside
with some of his companions. Her little
girl was sick at home, and several things
were needed for her, which the father
had promised to buy, but she was serely
afraid that the money would all be gone
before morning. As the woman told
her sad story, with an air of patient
resignation, her hands lay folded in her
lap, and on the upper one was a long
ugly scratch. “Does your husband
ever ill-treat you ?” asked the reporter.
She drew the wounded hand quickly
under her shawl, and answered prompt
ly, “ Oh, no, sir ; he is a goed man,
only when he’s drinking he is sometimes
a little quick with the children.” “ Why
don’t you ask some of your friends to
aid you in trying to stop his drinking,
or else get a magistrate to interfere ?”
She sprang up from the stone, and
drawing herself up, said in a trembling,
indignant voice : “ He is my husband,
sir ; do you think I wonld go to a mag
istrate abont my hnsband, sir! my
Harry ? Oh, no, sir. I never could do
that, n« matter what he did.”—Wheel
ing (\V. Va.) Register.
An English
on American
Farmer
Farmers.
Mr. Mechi, the eminent English farm
er, lately read a paper at the Central
Farmers’ Club, London, in which the
following passage occurs: “I have had
very extensive communications personal
ly and by letter with American agri
culturists, and have had also many
volumes sent to me year by year of the
transactions ’ of the New York State
Agricultural Society, and the impres
sion on my mind is that there is a great
deal of intelligence, enterprise and
progress in American agriculture. As
the farmers nearly all occupy their ow
land, their mental energy and financial
means are quite unshackled, and they
are free to enlarge or improve. The
mere knowledge that their improvements
are their own property, and will be in
herited by their widows or children, acts
as an extraordinary stimulus to their ex
ertions and progress. The fact that no
gamekeeper or stranger dare put a foot
on their land, and that the game is their
own, adds heavily in the scale of advan
tageous considerations and independent
feelings. Imagine the feelings of a man
who can say at any day or hour: ‘I
will sell my farm and buy another, or
add to my farm or do in any other way
just what I like with my own,’ and com
pare them with those of a British farm
er, who, like that model of a good farm
er, the late Mr. Hope of Fenton Barns,
was ousted from the beloved place of
his birth by a mere after-dinner speech
expressing opinions opposed to those of
his landlord. ”

Manufacturing Cold Air,
Prof. Gamgoe is exhibiting in Califor
nia a machine for making cold air, by
means of which he hopes to be able to
reduce the heat of mines; to* keep the
holds of vessels at a freezing tempera
ture while conveying fresh meat; to
maintain a floor of ice in a skating rink
during the hottest weather, and to per
form many similar wonders. An ammo
nia machine lost summer did such work
for a brewery in New Jersey. None of
these devices use ice in the process of
cooling air. In a recent work by Mr.
Robert Briggs, on the “Relation of
Moisture in Air to Health and Comfort,”
he shows by a mathematical calculation
that the quantity of ice needed to cool
an apartment in a hot summer’s day to
the temperature of spring, might be
thirty times the quantity of coal needed
to heat the apartment on a cold winter’s
day; even under the most favorable con
ditions, when the air is so dry that no
moisture wonld have to be removed, the
proportion of ice to coal would have to be
fifteen to one. Cooling by means of
compressedjair, suddenly allowed to ex
pand, would, Mr. Briggs thinks, be far
less expensive than the use of ice; but
still too costly for ventilating purposes
to serve practically in making onr houses
cool in the summer.
How a Match was Broken Off.
The Jersey City (N. J.) Journal says:
A comical affair occurred in Newark re
cently which promised to have a serious
result. Mr. Heisfelder, who is, or was
engage l to marry Miss Schellbrcsner,
both Germans, was escorting the joung
lady, who was to act as bridesmaid on the
occasion, to a wedding. They were late,
and took a short cut to the church along
the canal towpath. On the way they had
a lovers’ quarrel, and the damsel says
Heisfelder insulted* her. She sheered
off from his side, but sheered too far,
and tumbled head over heels into the
canal. The young man went immediate
ly after her, and with much difficulty
hauled her 185 pounds of avoirdupois
and her wet bridesmaid’s clothes to dry
land. But her wrath was not cooled
though her body was, and she went
home alone, and now says she will not
marry Emil at all. This may be en
titled a comedy of errors on the tow-
path.
How She Utilized Him.
“Your husband is sick a good deal of
late, isn’t he?” remarked a southern Il
linois woman to another, one day this
week.
“ Yes,” answered the wife, “he’s got
tuk down mighty hard with them ’ere
ager shakes agin.”
“I shud think it’ud be sorter dis-
tressin’ like to have him ’round the
house,” remarked the other sympathiz-
ingly, “spec’ly when yer house-clean-
.n’.”
1 “ Wal, so it wud be,” replied the wife
in self-consoling tones, “ but when he’s
got inter one of his chills, and I want
the rag carpet slink, yer see he’s a pow
erful smart hand to hitch onto it. ”
Then the other woman wended her
way home, envying her neighbor the
knack she had of utilizing her husband.

A St. Petersburg!! dispatch says: Grand
Duke Nicholas has telegraphed the following
to the Emperor from Lovtcha : “ I am happy
to congratulate your Majesty upon a brilliant
victory gained this day. General Radetzky
has, after desperate fighting, captured the
whole Turkish army defending the Shipka
Pass, consisting of forty-one battalions, ten
batteries, and one regiment of cavalry. Prince
Mirsky has occupied Kezanlik. General Sco-
belcff holds Shipka.” Suleiman Pasha has
been relieved of nis command and ordered to
Constantinople.
The Russians captured 23,000 men, 1,000
horses, twelve mortars, twelve siege guns and
eighty field guns at Shipka Pass. The Grand

negotiations for an armistice.
A Constantinople dispatch states that the

Real Estate.
When William the Conqueror had
finished parceling out the principalities
of England among nis Norman lieges,
the Doomsday Book enumerated 45,706
owners of real estate outside of London.
Eight centuries have reduced that nujfh-
ber of landowners to 30,776, and ,land
hanger,asthe Germans call it,is steadily
diminishing that small number. La this
country, in addition to the landowners
of the thirteen original States, 1,100,-
000 pieces of real estate have been
carved out of the wild lands east of the
Mississippi ; and west of the Father of
Rivers at least 600,000 more. It is safe
to say, therefore, that there are to-day
not less than 2.000,000 owners of real
estate in the United States, .is against
the 30,000 of England ; ai.d we add
more than 50,000 to that number every
year. The great majority of these cul
tivate their own lands and dwell beneath
their own roofs. Every man of them
has an interest in the stability of that
government that gives them certainty of
tenure.—Appleton's Journal.

The Sun’s Distance.
From a statement made recently by
Richard A. Proctor, the English astron
omical writer, it appears that the result
of the observations of the British tran
sit expeditions has been to fix the sun’s
distance from the earth at 93,321,000
miles. This exceeds by nearly a million
of miles Newcomb’s estimate, generally
accepted of late years, and by more than
a million of miles Leverrier’s conclusion
drawn from the planetary perturbations.
The authors of the new estimate, it
seems, admit a probable error of 200,-
000 miles, while the British transit ob
servations in southern localities are yet
to be combined with those made by
America, Russia and Germany at north
ern stations. It is too early yet, there
fore, to lay it down in school books and
to teach children what the exact dis
tance of the sun is.
CONGUESBIONAI. BUMIHAKY.
Henate.
After the long recess the Senate opened with
about forty senators in their seats. Many bills
were introduced and referred to the appropriate
committees. Mr. Conkling submitted a reso
lution instructing the committee on the judi
ciary to inquire and report in regard to the
action taken by any department or officer of the
government in restoring Major B. P. Rankle
to the army of the United States, which was
agreed to. He also submitted a resolution in
structing the committee on naval affairs to in
quire and report in regard to the restoration
of Dr. L. J. Draper to Die medical corps of the
navy, which was debated at some length and
agreed to. Mr. Edmunds submitted a joint
resolution preposing an amendment to the
constitution of the United States, prohibiting
the States from making appropriations for sec
tarian purposes. It was referred to the com-
mitte on the judiciary. Then the Senate re
sumed the consideration of the resolution of
Mr. Matthews, submitted before the recess,
declaring the right of the government to pay
the principal and interest of the bonds in sil
ver coin. Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, spoke in
favor of tho remonetization of the silver dol
lar. The Senate refused to grant a hearing to
the representatives of tho women’s convention
in Washington, by a vote of 31 to 13. Ad
journed.
A number of petitions were presented for
and against the remonetization of silver ; Mr.
Hill, of Georgia, presented resolutions of the
Savannah cotton exchange denying that the
South is nnanimously in favor of tho restora
tion of the silver dollar Amendments to Mr.
Matthews’ resolution declaring the right of
government to pay the bonds with silver was
offered by Mr. Edmunds, of Vermont. The
amendment dec’ares that payment of the bonds
in anything but gold would be a breach of pub
lic faith. The Matthews resolution was then
taken up and discussed until the close of the
session.
House.
There were 205 members present at roll call
upon the opening of the session after the re
cess. The greater part of the session was
devoted to debate in committee of the whole
on the resolution of Mr. Wood to authorize the
committees of the House to investigate the ad
ministration of all the departments of the
government, with power to send for persons
and papers. An amendment was adopted,
directing the committees to apply for such
powers when necessary. An amendment to
investigate the matter" in which the $700,000
or $800,000 expended by the Forty-fourth Con
gress had been spent, was adopted. A substi
tute for Mr Wood’s resolution, offered by Mr.
Hale, requiring that the charges on which any
proposed investigation shall be made, shall be
presented in writing to the House, accompanied
by a statement in writing signed by one or
niore members, that the charges are sustained
by such evidence as to make the investigation
necessary, was adopted. The committee then
rose, and Mr. Hale endeavored to secure action
in the House, but a motion to adjourn, offered
by Mr. Wood, was adopted.
"Mr. Sapp, of Iowa, introduced a bill author
izing the secretary of the treasury to issue
coupons of the denominations of $15, $25, $50
and $100 for the investment of savings ....
The resolution of Mr. Wood, of New York,
authorizing unlimited investigation into the
affairs of government by the several committees
was carried by a vote of 111 to 107. after which
the House went into committee of the whole
for consideration of private business. Ad
journed.
Mr. Frye, of Maine, introduced a bill fixing
the rates of public advertising ; also providing
for acommi-'sioner on the subject of the liquor
traffic.... A.LilHiTt?63n'ce3’by Mr. Hubbell, of

Honor In Ilia Own l.nnd.
Says Comely in his recently issued work, The
History of -New York State, “ The day has
passed when the benefactors of humanity w ere
allowed to live in ignominious poverty—their
sacrifices, their labors, unrecompensed. To
day, the benefactors of the people—tho men
who devote their lives and energies to the
interests of humanity—these aie the men
whom the world delights to honor, and whom
it rewards with princely fortnnes. As an earnest
worker for the welfare of his fellow men, Dr.
R. V. Pierce has won their warmest sympa! hy
and esteem. While seeking to be their servant
only, he has become a prince among them. Yet
the' immense fortune lavished upon h m hy
a generous people he hoards not, but invests in
the erection and establishment of institutions
directly conti ibutive to the public g' od, the
people thus realizing, in their liberal patron
age, a new meaning of that beautiful Oriental
custom of casting bread upon tl^) wat rs.
Noted in both public and private life for his
unswerving integrity and a l thosa sterling
virtues that ennoble manhood, Dr. Pierce ranks
high among those few men, whose names the
Empire State is justly proud to inscribe upon
her roll of honor. Ambition'*, yet moved by
an ambition strictly a i enable to the most d s-
criminating and well-bala ccd judgment, hif
future cireer promises 11 bo one of unparallel
ed activity and usefulness, ably supplementing
the work he has already accomplislicd, hy a life
at once noble in effort, enviable in it* grand
results.” While Dr. Pierci’s genius mden- rgy
have won for him so enviable a posit.on on the
records of a nation, having been • lectod
Senator by an overwhelm!.>g majority, Lis
justly celebrated household remedies have
gained for him a yet more deairab e place in
the hearts of a grateful people. His Golden
Medical Discovery and Favorite Prescription
have brought health and happiness to ton
thousand households.
Dinease Grows Apace,
Like an ill wind, and cannot be mastered too
early. What is a trifling attack of sickness
to-day, may, if unattended to, become a seri
ous case in a week. Small ailments should
be nipped in the bud before they blossom into
full blown maladies. If this advice were at
tended to, many a heavy bill for medical at
tendance might be avoided. When the liver
is disordered, the stomach foul, the bowels
obstructed, or the nerves disturbed, resort
should at once be had to that supreme remedy,
Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a few doses of
which will restore healthy action and put the
system in perfect order. It is a wise precau
tion to keep this incomparable preventive in
the house, since it checks, with unrivalled
promptitude, disorders which breed others far
more dangerous, and in their latest develop
ments are themselves often fatal.
Women dispute about other matters, but all
agree on the merits of Dooley’s Yeast Powder
as par excellence the best of all. Grocers
throughout tho conn'ry keep it, and find it
f ives supreme satisfaction. By using it the
ousewife is sure of delicious bread, rusk,
rolls, biscuit, buckwheat cakes and all the deli
cacies made from flour.
