of tlie award made by the llaherlett commission at Halifax under the treaty of Washington, which |iasaed the Ketiale, provides that $0,600,000 In gold coin be appropriated out of any money In the Treasury not otherwise appropilated, and placed under the diiection of the President with which to pay to Hie government of Her Itrlt-taulc MeJesly the amount awarded by the lUberies commission lately aaaem-bled at Hal i fax .

The Hen ale committee on appropria-tions has agreed, with but twodlsMDl-Ing voles, to the Houaepropoaltion for the transfer of the Indian bureau to the war department , and the probabil-ities are therefore tha t It will become a law. T b e change bas long been ad-vocated, on the ground tha t things could hardly be worse than they have been when the control of the Ind ians remained with the Interior depart-nient, while a transfer of their care to t he army waa almoat certain to secure greater economy and faithfulness of administration. Heretoforetheobange bus been stoutly opposed by the Indian ring, who feared that their chancea of

From Stato oxdiangos the following roporta are galhorod:

A1.1.IC0AX—The IIrat aalo of the aeanou wis a blanket lut ot unwashed at 20c; lator aales havo lieen at 26c.

MARSI IAI .L—Oul le a number of clips have been taken al i V .

TKI .LMSEI I—The flrstollp broughl26c; which is about the prevailing rato.

DOWAOIAC—Wool la quoted at 22ft26c; there aro two buyora In market.

HiLiJinAi.K—OfforlnKS of wool have been light. Tho market will probably open at from 24 to 27c for good floeccs; extra wool may probablv be a shade higher.

F L I N T — T h o wool season bas fairly njiened; prices range at 23($27d.

OviD—Wool Is coming In quite freely. Boat llocces aro quoted at 2 ^ 3 0 c .

TiiKiuurroM XARKicr. Manufactured gooda are selling very

slowly and at unremuneratlve prices, with a tendency to accuinulatlon, and a meat deal of woollen machinery haa late-ly been stopped. Hence wool buyers are very Inditlerent, and besldosare inclined to hold off for further developments toudiing the coat of the now clip.

A fow early clips have been bought up in West Virginia. Pennsylvania and Ohio at28(£30c, and there aro unauthen-licaled ruiiioia of fancy lots taken by uianufacturing agents at S2((i33c, Bul letters received hero to day by Boston merchaiits, from thn beat wool-growing reulons, IndicaUi a general wlliiugnessto sell at Iho former range, which la folly up to the mark al which there is any cnauce for new wool to pn»a Into the channels nl adtial consumption. In Michigan the d in Is lint yet ready lor tho markot, and liuyera are not prepared to pay over 25(3(27 lor straight lots.

A late Boston drctiiar says: "The clip will probably be about tho same In amount as last year, viz: 200,000,000 lbs. There will lie a decrease In California, offsot by the Increase In Texas and the Territories, and the older Statea will hold tdoirown. But litlln foreign has been brought In, and most of that sold at a loss. Uuloss the tariff Is changed lesa will probably come In this year. The product of tbe newer Statea and Terri-tories, while it is rapidly Increasing Is fast bccoiulng popular with manufao-turers, and many dlpa received last year eompared favorably with the wools nl tho Auatrallan Colonies, In quality and w-dltlon, hut wore aomewhat shorter In staple.

f From Cbsmbera' Journal.

i Borne of m a n y Instances of extraor-dinary coolnees in tlie midst of danser and otherwise tha t have been recorded are here offered to our readers, togeth-er wi th w i p e amusing sayings and dolnin. W h e n gallant Poneonbv lay trrleviously wounded on the field of Waterloo, he forgot his own deperate pl ight while watching au e iuouuter Between a couple of French iuncem and one of his own men, cut oil' from the troop. As the Frenchmen came down upon Murphv, he, using ills sword as if it was a shillaleii, knocked their lancea niteriiately aside again and again. Then, suddenly set t ing •puta to his horse, he galloued oil at a full speed, his eager foes followed in hot pursuit, hu t not quite neck und neck. Wheel ing round at ezautly the r ight moment , the Ir ishman, rushing a t the foremost fellow, parried his lance and struck him down. T h e second, pressing on toaveiiRe liUcom-rade, waa cu t throuKh diagonally bv Murphy 's sword, ralliug to the earth

cry or groan; while the vio-

ugly ai they told meshe was!"—a com plim ni g' Probably her Majesty forgave her critic's rudeness its the outcome of rus-tic Ignorance and simplicity.

There Is no cooler man than your simple fellow. While General Thomas was liis|>ectli)g the fortiiications of (.'baitauooga with Ueneral Garfield, they beanl some one shout :" Hello, mister! You! I want to speak to you!" General Thomas, lurniiig, found that he was the "mi s t e r " so po-litely hailed by an East Tennesseean soldier.

"Wei l , my m a n , " said he, " w h a t do you want wltli m e ? "

" I want to get a furlough, mis t e r ; that 's what 1 wan t , " was the reply.

" W h y do you want a furlough, i m a n ? " inquired the General ,

"Well, 1 want to go home and see my wife."

" H o w ioniris It si nee you saw her? "Ever since I enlisted ; nigli oil to

three months . " "Three months exclaimed the com-

mander. " W h y , my good fellow, 1 have not seen my wife for tiiree years,"

TheTennesscean looked Incredulous, j-'id drawled out, " W a l l , you see, m e anil my wife a in ' t that sor t . "

The I'oetiiiaster General of the Uni-ted States once received an odd olliclal communication ; and Kacl um Post-master, new to his duties, writes to Ills su|ierlor ofllcer: "Seeing by the reg-ulations tha t I am required to send you a letter of advice, I must plead In excuse that I have been postmaster b u t a short t ime; but I will say, if yourollice pays no Iietter than mine I advise you to Klve it up . " To tills day that Postmaster General has not de-cided whether his subordinate was an iguoramus or was quiet ly jMiklng fun at him.

Hpiteof tlie old axiom about self-praise, many are of t he opinion that the world is apt to take a man a l his own valuation. If t ha t be t tue, there

without tor, scarcely glancing nt his haudU work, trotted olf whistling " T h e Grinder ."

Ponsonby's brave cavalryman knew how to take th ings coolly, which, ac-cording to Col. R. P. Anderson, is the special vir tue nt tbe l irl t ish man of war, who. hav ing the utmost reliatife on bimself aud his commanders, is neither easl lr over-excited nor readily alarmed. I n support 'of his arsertlon the Colonel relates how two tars, strol I-ing up from Dli Kuaha Park, where Lord Clyde's a rmy was stationed, to wants the Itesideney position at Luck now, directed their steps by the pick ets of horse and foot. Huddenly i twenty-four ppuud shot struck the

y road Just In f roht of them. " I ' m hless-• m ed. Bil l ," aald one of the tars, "If this

Tbe youthful sol diet was s tanding quietly a t bis post, close to where the shell had Just ex ploded. Being asked what hail h a p

Bned, he replied unconcernedly, " I ink a shell has busted, s i r . " Towards the close or t b e flgbt of

Inkerman, Lord Raglan, returning from taking leave of General S t rang ways, met a sergeant carrying water for the wounded. The sergeant tirew himself up to salute, when a round shot camehounding over tbe hill, atid knocked his forage cap out of his hand. T h e man picked It up, dilated it on hia knee, placed It carefully on bis bead, and made t he salute, not a muscle of h is countenance moving tbe while. "A neat th ing tbat , my m a n ! " said Lord Raglan. "Yes, my lord," re-turned tbe Sergeant wltli another sa-lute, " b u t a miss Is as good a i a mi le ." T b e commander was probably not sur< tirised by such an exliihltlon of sang-froid, beiuK blmaelf good that way. H e was badly hur t at Waterloo, und saya tbe Pr ince of Orange, who was In t he boipltul, " I was not conscious of t he prwcnce of Lord Fltzroy Homerset unti l I heard him call out in Ills ordi-na ry tune, "Ha l lo ! Dun ' t carry that a rm away till I have taken off my r l n g l " Nei ther wound nor operatlun hail extorted a groan from his lips.

T b e Indian prides himself upon tak Ing good or 111 In the quietest of ways, and from a tale told In Mr. Marshall 's "Canadian Dominion," his clvlll/ed half-brother would seem lo lie equa-ly unemotional.

Iinpudently cool as the darky was, lie niusl yield tbe palm for effrontery to the Erie railway guard whoselnter-vlew with Manager Flsk Is thus re-lated In an American paper :

"You are a conductor on the Erie, I believe?"

"Yes, sir ," "How long have you been on tbe

road?" "Fif teen years." '•Worth some property, I l e a rn?" "Some," "Havo a fine house in Oawego? Cost

"Yes, s i r ." "Own a farm near where you re-

as conductor on our road?" "No th ing to speak of ." "Made the property s ince?" "Yes, s i r ." "Been a t work for no other parties 7" "No , but I have been saving money,

and Invested It from t ime to t ime to good advantage."

"Wel l , fcir, what will 5'ou give to sett le? Of course you cannot pretend to say you have acquired this properly Irom w h a t } ou have saved from your salary? You will not deny that you have pocketed a great deal of money belonging to the railway—at least£>0,-000 or $00,000? Now, sir, what will you give to settle, and not be disgrac ed, as you certainly will be If a suit Is brought, and you are compelled togivc up the property you profess to own, but which In reality belongs to the company?"

"Wel l , Mr. Manager, I bad not thought of tlie matter. Forseveral years 1 havo been running my train to the best of my ability. Never looked at the matter In thi* light before. Never thought I was doing any Ihlng wrong. I have done nothing more than olber conductors; tried to earn my salary and get it, and th ink I 've succeeded.

hla qui t tance from the man who bad hrousbt h im lo Justice, anil left the office. A few moments later the Sioux returned, advanced on his nnlseli-Hs moccasins within a pace of tbe writing table, and leveled his musket full at t he half-breed's head. Jus t as tbe trigger was pulled tho Metis raised the hand with which be was wri t ing aud touched lightly t he munr.lo of tho

Eu n ; the shot pasied over bis hea l, ut hla hai r was singed o f f l i i a b r o a d

maaa. T h e amoku clearing away, tlie Indian waa amazed to see tbat bis ene-m y atlll lived. Tbe other looked him full In t he eyes for an Instant and ouletly resumed his writing. T h e In-dian silently departed unpursued, those who would havo given chase being slopped by the half-breed with " G o back lo your dinner aud leave tbu affair wi th m e . "

When evening came, a few whites curious to see huw tbe matter would end, aocompanled the Metis to tbe Sioux encampment. A t a certain dis-tance he made them wait, and ad-vancedaione t o t h e Indian tents. Be-fore one of tbeee sat crouched Uie baffled savage, aioglng his own death h y m n to the tom-tom. He complained thai be in uat now say good by to wife and child, to t he sunlight, to tbe gun , and tbe chase. H e told bis friends in the apirit-iand to expect h im tbat n ight , when be would bring them all tbe news of their tribe. H e swung his body backwards and forwards as bo chanted hla strange song, but never once looked up—not even when his foeapurned h im with bis foot. H e only sang on, and awaited bis fate. T h e half-breed bent bis head and spat down on t b e crouching Sioux, and turned leisurely away—a crueler re-venge than if bo bad shot h im dead.

I t is n o t given to every one to play the philosopher, and accept fortune's buffeta and favors with etiual placidity. Ho.ratloa are scarce, l iut there are

Klenty of people capable of behavlnir ke Spar tans where the trouble does

not touch tbelr Individuality. " H o w can I ge t out of th i s?" asked an Fng-

" I n d e e d ! " said Mr. Beecher. "Well , It took mo much longer than that to t h i n k out the framework of that sermon,"

"Are you Henry W a r d Beecher?" asked the sermon-stealer.

" I a m , " nald tbat gent leman. "Well , t h e n , " said the other, not in

the least disconcerted, "a l l I have to say Is t ba t I a in ' t ashamed to preach otieof your sermons anywhere . "

W e do not know If Coleman Invent-ed tbe phrase, "As cool as a cucum-ber," but ho makes t h e I r ishman In " T h e Heir a t -Law," say "These two must be a rich man tbat won' t lentl anil a borrower; for one Is trotlliiK about lu great distress and t 'other stands as cool aa a cucumber ." Of t he two, the latter was more likely to have been Intending a raid on another man's purse, for tho men whose "ve ry trade Is borrowing" are usually, we might say necessarily, the coolest of tbe cool; like Bubb DodinKton's Im-pecunious acquaintance, who, rushing across Bond street, greeted Dodltiicton wi th : " I ' m dallRhted to seeyou, for I am wonderfully In want of a guinea."

Taking out his purse, Bubb showed that it held but half a guinea.

" A thousand thanks ! ' ' cried the tormentor, deftly seizing tbe coin ; " tha t will do very well for the nres-ou t ; " anil then cbaugetl t he conver nation. But, as he turned to take leave, he inquired, "By-the-by, when will you pay me that half guinea?"

" P a y y o u ? What do you m e a n ? " cxclalmed Dodlugton.

" M e a n ? " Why, I in lended to bor-row a guinea of you. 1 havo only got half, bu t I 'm not in a hurry for t 'oth-er. N a m e y o u r t ime, only pray keep i t ! " saying which, he disappeared round t he corner.

" J o h n Phtunlx," t he American hu-morlal. being one n ight a t a theatre, fancied he saw a friend some three seats In front of h im. Turn ing to his next neighbor he s a i d : "Would you be kind enough to touch that gentle-man with your s t i ck?" "Cer ta in ly ," was the reply, ami t he th ing was done; when the Individual thus assaulted turned around, Phtunlx saw he was no t the man be took him for, and was at once absorlied In tbu play, leaving his friend with the stick to settle matters with thn gentleman In front, which, as he had no excuse hardly,waa not done without consider-able tniiible. When the hiibbiib was over, the victim said : " D i d n ' t you tell m e to tap tha t man with my s t ick?" "Yes ." " A n d what did you w a n t ? " "Oh , " said Phii>nlx, with Im|>erturliable gravity. " I wanted to see whether you would tap h i m or not ."

Jack Holmes," a man-about-town, living no one knew huw, was once under rronH-oxamltiatlou by a certain sergeanl-al-law, w h o knew his man too well. " N o w . s i r , " said the learn-ed gent leman, "tell tho Jury how you l ive!"

" W e l l , " said Holmes, " a chop o f a steak, and on Sunday |ierhaps a little bit of l lsh , l a m a very plahi l iving m a n . "

"You know what I mean, s i r ," thundered the tiuestioner. " W h a t do you do for a living ? "

"Tl ie same as you, Sergeant ," mid the witness, tapping his forehead sug ges t ivdy ; "and when that fails I do' —going through tbe pantomine of wri t ing across ills hand—"a little bit of stuff—tbe same a i you aga in ."

" M y Lord, I shall not ask this ob-tuse witness any more questions," said tbe angry counsel.

Af ter the house became quiet he con t inued : " I knocked In the head of that keg, gave tho boys a tin cup and told them to help themselves." The conclusion of the story was so much different from what was expected, that It brought down the house with laughter.

i t seems, from a paper reatl the other tlay before the Socle'ly of Arts by Mr-W. H. Pretce, the tiles which are be-coming so numerous with t he Increas-ing warmth, have a speech uf their own, and are not conHned to tho Irrita-ting buzz with which they have been ao long associated. Th i s lly language can be beard wi th the a s d s t a n c e o f t h e microphone, which magnillea sound and aids the ear as tlie microscope does the eye. Mr. Preeco atalea that, with It, ho has heard the t r amp of a ll'.llo lly across a Ixix wilh a tread al-most as Inud as that of a h o n e across a wootlen bridge. A curious sound ac-companied the I r ampof tbe f lv , which, It Is suggested, wai caused by tbe neighing of its proboscis. I t Is to be hoiied tlmt tbe tiles have not got a IIBIIII of repealing r.ll they hear while walking on the cei l ing; If they have, what disclosures might b« made by some scientific eavesdropper with a stray lly imprisoned In a microphone!

But an ounce of fact Is worth a ton uf talk In this matter, anil if tbe reader Is curious to know what sort ol field crops are rais-ed along the origlmtl backbone of Michigan, wo will lake a little tour among tbe farmers In this section and gel their experience.

Start ing south from Ibis village In Richmond, the southwest corner lowu-ship of Otceola county, wo reach tbe rarni of Mr. John Schmidt, an un-Amerlcanlzed German as you must know from tbe name, and tho "gool lay, shentlemeii ," of the man himself. H e has a farm of acres, 130 of which are under fair cultivation. H e has raised .'10 buslids of wheat to the acre, as many bushels of peas, -100 bushels of potatoes, and two tons of hay. A lit-tle farlber on and we aro In Green, the north weslern township of Mecosta county. This, like Richmond, Is a hardwood t imber township with a gravelly loam soil. Mr. J o h n Dalziel has HI) acrei of Improved land upon which he has raised 110 bushels of wheal to the acre, loo bushels of ears of corn, -lo bushels of oats, and two tons of millet. I.usl year he raised 1,000 bushels of rutabagas from an acre and a quarter. A little farther south, und we reach the townsbip of Big Rapids, ami Mr. L u l l u r C'ulib, who has no acres of clay loam under cultivation, assures us tha t his average yield of wher.t for the last 20 years has been 18 bushels lo the acre, and last year he raised 11*0 bushels of lieeta on IM square rods, or a t tbe rate of 800 bushels to the acre. Turning eastward into Colfax township, Mr Arnold Ely saya that during tlie seven years he has been farming here his corn has aver-ugetl 75 bushels of earn lo t he acre, bis oats 110 bushels, wheat' IU bushels, and bis isitators have ranged from l^'i lo 400 bushels per acre, r t i rn lng north-ward again Into Grunt lownship, Mr. A- B. Knaiqi who has 110 acres under cultivation anil has been engaged In farming here since I8IMI, says, his av-erage yield of wheat dur ing that time has been 20 bushels lo the acre, oats 30 bushels, corn 75 bushels, polatots 150 bushels, hay one and a half tons.

Turning westward again and passing through Green townsbip, we reach Barton the northeastern lownship of Newaygo couuty, which laps over the very apex of the ancient ridge of which I have been speaking. Tbe western half la mustly heavy pine forests which have yet lo bo cut, bul tho eastern part is hardwood, and here we find a somewhat select Bdtlenient of college gradtiales and professional gentlemen who have come up Into this invigorating climate to recreate ami to put money lu their purses by farming. Among these Is Isaac N\. Clifton, a graduate of Oxford Univer-sity and etliicaled for t he Eplscapal ministry. H e went to f a rming for the beneilt of hla health and haa been suc-ceaafully engaged In fruit culture up here since 1801. Mr. Charles W . Wblllleltl, u graduate of Oberlln, has Juslsold a f a r m of 80acreH for$l,KiH) cash, for which he paid aboul (0 an acre lu 1808. H e gave special atten-tion to live stock anil kept a small dairy which he found qui te profitable. Mr. Frank Hooker, after whom the settlement Is named, came here from New York In 1860 and bought 280 acres at alioiil | 3 an acre. H e after-wards sold part of II for $25 an acre and now bas an improved farm of 140 acres which he values al 17,000 and over every acre of which he runs his reap-entand mowing machines.

Following tbe ridge northward we next strike Chase, the southwestern township in l .ake cour ly , and find ourselves In a very dlfferenlAettlemeut, largely composed of Germans and Canadians. Tbe t imber Is mostly hardwood, the soil a sandy loam, and tbe lautl rolling ami well watered with springs und brooks. The farms are newer lhan those mentioned above, but the t lguris given as to the crop pruducts tlo not materially dlller from those glvi-n by the Mecosta count farmers. In this township Is the vll lageof Chase, formerly the county seat of Lake county, anil still a thr iving bus!n0(S (dace, with three siiwmllls, two stores, two churches, shope, etc. North of Richmond, our siartlng piiinl. lies Lincoln lownship aud east of 11 Her-ey, Imlb well i-eltled town ships with growing villages anil fertile farms, occupied mostly by New York-ers ami New Englanders, but a t r ip through these seltlemente would only be a repetition of what we have al-ready gone over. I t should .be liorne In mind tbat the farmers we have In-terviewed are such as a stranger would meet by chance on the highway, and their farms are nei ther better nor worse than the average farms In their res|>ecllve townships. Let any man Interview the farmera he meets al ran-dom, say in Pennsylvania or New York, and compare their averages of croisi with the averages reiKirted above, and then say where the fiest farming lands In this country ure to bo found. Osceola and Mecosta counties have nothing to lear from a n y such com-parlion.

With such farming oomuiunltles gmwlng up around It, and with two railroads passing through It ami con-necting It with all ex l rem I ties of the Stale, Heed City could not do other-wise than grow rapidly and give prom-ise of becoming an lm|iortant business and manufaclurlng centre ut no ills-taut day. The soli, tbe dlniale , the llmlier, the water (siwer uf tbe Hersey which llows through It, and tbe capi-lal ami enterprise of t he citizens to-gether insure such a remi t . The first lot waa hold less than six years ago; the soitlomcnl organized as a village four yours ago; and now It can boast ol live dry goods stores, four grocery stores, two hardware stores, two drug stores, two jewelry stores, two boot und shoe stores, variety store, three millinery establishments, saw mill, two lloiirlng mills, tannery, two wagon shops, three blacksmith shoiis, foundry, machine shop, merchant tai

T b e consolidated district will embrace all t ha t part of the Lower Peninsula ly-ing west of the principal meridian, except tho two western tiers of towns lu Gladwin ami Midland counties, anil the four northwestern towns nf Gratiot county. The new district will include considerably more territory than the Detroit and Saginaw districts com-bined. Tbe present Ionia dlHtrld, which exlenda up to the nor th Hue of Clare county, basin It less than 10,000 acres of Government Innd remaining unsold. Of this amount 5,000 acres are In western Mason county, 1.000 in Clare, Lake and Newaygo counties, 400 In Muskegon county, and small parcels scattered over several other counties. T h e homesteads which havo been entered In the d i s t r i c t -bu t are not yet "proved up ," ; or have the t i t les perfected—amount lo 83.000 acres, of which aboul one-third will probably relapse to the Government and be again put upon the market . If the same cundlllon of th ings exists In t he Traverse City branch, the princi-pal business of the consulIdated offlce will he the closing up ol these unset-tled ncconnta witb the homesteaders. T h e Stale lands In this section are also nearly all taken, and the extensive land grants of the Fl int and Pere Mar-quette , and Grand Uapids and Indi-ana railroads, which intersect here, are rapidly falling Into the hands oi settlers anil farmers—where they be-long. An Inquiry ul the land abstract offlce In this village, where all the transfers of real estate in l .ake and Osceola C"Utitles are kept recorded to dale, reveals the encouraging fact that such transfers are about 30 per cent, greater this year than ever before. Nor should I omit a still more en-couraging fact, Messrs. Morris & Mar-tin, who started their new lloiirlng mill on the 2Sth of last Heptember, haveslnceground over 15,000 bushelsof custom work, grain that has been grown within a radius of 15 miles, and upon land which a few years ago was an unknown forest.

The California salmon are Ibefavor-lle fish, and they havo been hatched out by the government works ut lbe rale of from eight to nine million eggs a year. These have been distributed all through the country. Whi te fish have been put Into tbe lakes by the million, nnd tbe land-locked salmon have alsobeen distributed Snail have been planted In thirty Slates and In tbe waters of the Ohio. Mississippi, Allegheny, Catawba, Monongabela, Cumberland, anil other rivers where they were uot Indigenous. Tho California saln.on have been put Into thir ty States In hundreds of pomlaand rivers. T b e results of this work will become more apparent hereafter, and future re|Kirts will probably havo more to say of tbe general subject of results than this bus.

What hero will most attract the gen-eral reader is the Incidental informa-tion let drop in some of the special pa-pers of the rejioil. Thus some notes on tbe fishes of lbe Delaware river are very readable. From Ibem we get tbe Inference that llsh do not sleep, fur Ihey move alsiut by night more read-ily iban by day. Set nets catch 93 per cent, more llsh between sunset and sunrise than between sunrise ami sun-set- Lamprey eels are known to de-vote much of their t ime to stealing the eggs of other llsh, and have been caught fastened to live shad, sucking the eggs out of them, t'ellow perch, the common pond ami river lisb, which run from six to eight ounces in weight, have been seen In tlie Dela-ware weighing four pounds three and one-half ountes.

One weighing an ounce was taken and kept for eighty days In fresh water where il wai not fnl a purticle.

will call a "s tyle ," to t he center of the dlaphrogm, and thou contrived a s im-ple arraiigement for making a sheet of tin-foil puss In front of the style. When the diaphragm l i still, the slyle simply scratches a s traight lino along the foil. When asouutl Is made, how-ever, and the diaphragm set to vibrat Ing, the mark of thes ty le Is not a aim pie scratch, but an Impression vary-ing In depth according to the dia-phragm's vibration. And tbat Is how the plionograph writes. To the naked eye, the record of the sound appears to be simply a line of pin points or dots, more or less dose to each o the r ; bul, untler a magnifier, the line Is seen to bo a tlellcale but exceedingly compli-cated series of marks.

Now for the reading. Tlie impres-sion on the foil exactly records t he vibrations of the diaphragm, and those vibrations exactly measure theBound-wavea which caused the vibrations. T h e reading simply reverses all this . Tho strip of foil Is patted again be-neath the diaphragm, the |>olnl of the stylo followa the groove it made al first, and the dlaphragni follows tho style In all lla moilons. The original vibrations are thus exactly reprodut ed, selling up sound-wnves in tho air precisely like those which first set tlie machinb In motion. Coiisequenlly, tlie listener bears a minutely exact echo ol what t l ieiustri imenl heard ; ll might have heard It a minute, or an hour, oi a year, or a tbousami y e a n before, hud the Dhonograph been In use so long.

What a wonderlul result Is t b a t !

From the lower room, too, there were to IK- four promoted, one boy and three girls; so li was to be really "laal" lo Ibem, as Alice said. Of course Jack would wear ills Sunday panta aud jacket ; but equally, of course tbe girls must have new dresses, though why, perhaps you could tell; I can-not.

Hut now you can guess what Neva Perkins and Alice Thurne and Kale Ash were talking so fast about under that big maple tree lhat Juno after-noon.

"(lirls, I can have a white dress, mother says so. She don ' t get much bluditig now since the shop stopped. I 've got a new calico she's going to make with an oversklrt aiitl rulllo; but you'll be ashamed of mo I sup-pose.''

"Ob, n o ; " says Kale, switching off a ilaiidollon head ; " i t ' s all fuss any-way; wi sh ' twas over and that dread-ful ar i thmetic burnt u p . "

Neva says nothing, lorshe does care, anil she lines Alice bts l , and wants her to look pretty.

"Cood-nlght, Neva ," Alice says wlahfiilly a t the turn In the road, bul Neva answers without turn ing , and lioor Alice goes home to cry her eyes us red as pen clcs.

The t ruth was, Neva was conunenc one of her " th inks " us her sisters called them, and she hardly sjioke while eating her supper, and as soon as 11 was over went lo he r own little room and sal down on the Hour by t he window.

Of all Nova thought I cannot tell, but just at twilight u quiet litlle gli l stole ou lo papa's lap, und asked,

"Pupa , do you th ink Jesus sees everything we do, even the dollies we w e a r ? "

At first they refused, but finally let the loving heart bave its wish, nnd the next tlay tho pretty blue ami white print was bought. Careless, happy Kaly was easily won to do tbe same, aud the twolll t leglrls went about wi th a g p a t secret.

The source of the oxygen und hydrogen Is nol definitely s-ttled. It is very probible thut the wmer ab-sorbed throiig'i the roots is the inuin. If not the entire, source of supply.

NlTll'KiEN —Our cultivated plants get the bulk of their nitrogen from tho soil. throuRh their rtsils. Many years of labor of the best investigators, and many thousainla of dollais. bave been devoted lo the study of the sources of t he nitrogen of plant-food. The theory that plants avail them-selves of the free nitrogen of the air , of which there are thonsandi of tons over every farm, must bo regarded as wrong. The theory that plants In general, and tbe "large-leave«l" plants In particular, aa clover, turnips, corn, etc., obtain a good tloul of combined nitrogen (ammonia and nltratei) from the air by the i r haves, is hardly tena-ble. The gain of nitrogen from this "ourceseems lo bo very small indeed. The most of the nitrogen of our crops is got from the soil Ihrtnigh the roots. Tho soil gathers some nitrogen com-pounds Irom tbe air, however, und it is extremely probably that ll asidmi-lales free nllrngen, ami thus. In two

For the lael week II has been pouring Into Chica-go In enoimuus quanlllieri, t h e receipts at lha l point reaching nearly a million bushels a day. The shlpmeii Is lo other centres is also Immense. As a conse-ijuence prices havo been still fur ther depressed untl uro now lower than than they have been known for twenty years.

A successful cxporiment In silk cul-ture lias linen mado by Mr. Samuel I.owery, a colored lawyer, of l lunts-vllle, Alabama. For thr to yeara past he has been engaged In Ihisenterpiise, aud lias now about a quarler of an acre planted with mulberry-trees, untl Is t he owner of ino.noo worms. The mulberry grows well In South Ala-bama, and the silk worms have proved unusually heal thy. Mr. I.owery IhlnkH the cost per acre of ailk culturo would be about the same as cotton. T h e experiment is uf such Industrial im|K>rtanco lo the South that Mr. I.owery has come North to establish tbe necessary market , anil to procure all labor-saving appliances which are now employed lu the preparation of silk for the market .

Tbe nitrates in tho soli, formed mostly from the dccay of vegetable and animal matter, ure tho chief natural sources of the nitrogen of plant-food. Ammouiu, which, like niti lc acid, comes from vegetable di -Oris and from manures, as well aa from t h e air. Is also uied by plants. Olber compounds of nitrogen, no one yet knows Just what or how many, can also bouHsimilated by plants.

MINKKAL MATTKH. OH ASH.—The mineral ingredients of plants are de-rived exclusively from the soil. Of IheBe, potash, lime, magnesia. Iron, phosphoric acid and sulphur a d d , must ie furnished lo all agriculiurai;pluuts,

tlirough their roots and bythe soil, in order lo the i r growth. 1 f t be uvallublu soil supply of any one of these Is tieli-cient, the whole crop must stiller. As regards soda, silica ami chlorine, tlio ovporlmental evidence Is nol so decis-ive. A small quant i ty of chlorine Inti been proven necessary for tho perfec-tion of some plants. Soda is needed In very mlntile quunlliies. If ul all, by crops. A little of silica Is probably necessary lo the perfect llosnomlng and ripening of grain.

Tosum u p In u few words: " A i r a n d water together yield tbe materials out of which fully ninety to ninety-eight per cent, of crops Is built up. Tlie soil bas lo give fur tbelr nourUhniet only the two to eight per cent, of mlnerul matters, which remain aa ashes when they i r e burned, and the one half to two'per cent, of nitrogen which they also con t a in .
