0L When a New Hampshire man wants to get a woodpile moved, lie tella the boys that a rabbit baa run undvr it. Cattle valued at $13,500,000 are now graz'-ng in what was six years ao absolutely Iudian country in Texas. Liberalism is creeping Into a.i churche?; but iho poor pwwehere notice that it has not yet struck the contribuiion box. The Chicago critics who. the astounding agility displayed by a ballet daucer diJ i. t Ir.i.v, that se had accidentally onset into her clothes. A juryman waa ashed iflbe judge bad changed law. "Faith," said he, "the man Rei n ed ua a good deal but I don't believe be mean to ohare for it." There are two men in whose hands a pistol is dangerous, yea three who ought never to b3ndle one. These are the cowboy, the coward and the man who "didn' know it was load ed." The former is reckless, the latter nervous and the third a fool. "You say your wife gets mad and raises a row f "I should say she did. She makes enough fuss to run a freight train forty miles an hour." "But if you knew she was in the habit of getting mal, why did you marry her?" "Because if I had held back she would have got madder than ever." An indignant landlord writes de manding the names of the party who first suggested putting coils of rope in sleeping rooms as a protection against fire. He said he had pro vided every room-in his house with a coil of rope, and the first night three of his guests lowered their baggage from the sixth window and skipped. avingf-a six days' board bill on paid. He allows that being burned to death is bad enough, but running a hotel for fun is a good deal worse. Some heartless wretch caught t .vo cats, tied them by the tails and flting them into the cellar of a cbttrcb. The residents of the vicinity heard the noise the animals made, but thought it was the choir rehearsing. A Brooklyn church has offered a preacher a-salary of $1 0,000 and two months' vacation every year. He regards it as a "call to preach the Gospel." Most any one else would acoept such an offer, but would call it by its right name, "a soft snap." The census of 1830 shows the death rate in the United States to be 15.1 in the 1,000 of the whole popu lation, which is a decidedly higher rate than that of 1860. or 1870, The death rate in England is 20.5 to the 1,000 of population. The deaths re ported in this country, in 1S80, num bered 756,894, of which 91,551, or nearly one eighth, died of consump tion. The death rate among the colored population is reported much greater than that of the whites. The culture of the larger fruits would be greatly accelerated if fruit trees were all planted at wide dis tances, and the intervening space kept uiuler constant cultivation for hoed crops, and attended by con stant manuring. Then the trees, of thems'.dves alone would require al most no exl. a work, except that of pruning during the first few years after planting. And still it will probably take a hundred years before some farmers will even hear of this method, and perhaps another hun dred to get them to believe in it as the best system. The editor of a paper at Fargo, Dakota, is a wanderer on the face of the eartb. He wrote a description of an excursion, and. said, "The ma jority of the ladies present wore sacks of the daifitiest description," and the composiaLr set it up "socks of the dirtiest JBcripiion,' He got a copy, of the paper the first thing ia the morning, and when be saw the error, had his wife prepare him a ranch and he started to catch a freight train for tljf west. As the train moved out he saw a procession -of ladies headed toward his office, and Ike-bribed the conductor to hur ry. Tha-conductor says he got. off forty raUcs west, and said he was looking for a tree claim. His wife will not follow him, because she was on the excursion, and wore a sack of 4i. intntipot descnntion. ana she is kUO ... 1. i - I . just as mad as the rest. The only way for the editor to do is to be born ao-ain and try to iead a different life. it Hnirt he has sent for the com positor who made the mistake to comfi out west and take up a tree olaim, but the compositor says be never cared much to own real estate, anyway. WHO WILL FIX THIS. Peck's Sun. A lady in St. louis, who receptly lost a chihi, and wiio vainly plead with the authorities of the church near her residence not to ring the bell on a Sunday morning when her little darlinir was so sick, wants to know if we don't tnink people would j go to cbureb on time just as well, if no hells were ruiisr. Well, yes, we believe they would, if they wanted to. v hen sue same people go io theater, no bell is rung, and they get there before the curtain raises with remarkable regularity. No bell is rung to call these church members to their business, and yet they ap poar legularly at the appointed time. No bill is rung to led them that dinner is to be served, and yet they all start in time to be there before it sets cold. It a sociable is to take place, and it is known that the lunch is to be served at eight o'clock, they all get there before the first plate of oyster soup, or the first dish of ice cream, is served, and the church hell does not ring for a sociable. When the doors of a circus are advertssed to be opened at two o'clock we have noticed that no church member comes straggling in after the clown sung his song, and yet the bells do not ring for a circus. We cannot account for the necessity of ringing a church bell that often frightens sick persons into couvulsions. But there are so many things in this world that nobody can account for. Who can account for the fact that a dizzy act ress can get a thousand dollars a week for repeating lines that another nereon has written, when the schol arly, eloquent divine, whose life has been passed In study, cannot draw a house big enough to pay him a frugal living. Who can account for the fact that a girl who can kick high is able to draw live hundred dollars a week, while the good woman who goes about as a missionary, reform ing the vicious, is thrown a quarter to get rid of her, often by the men who pay a dollar towards the salary of the high kicker. It 48 hard to ac count for the fact that a horse race will clear a thousand dollars in one day, while a church fair, which should be patronized by thousands, figures up about enough, after a week's haid work, to pay for a dress in" crown for the minister. There is something terribly wrong about this world, but we can't untangle it. If 7 ' wo had our way the prize fighters should plav to houses smaller than a prayer meeting, and the ministers should preach to full houses at a dol lar a head, tickets sold at the box office, and it would be necessary to hang out a sign "standing room only," and no bell should ring to call tli-j audience, and to kill sick babies in an adjoining block. We would have ministers travel in private cars, and nigger shows travel in ordinary passenger coaches. We would have the horse race just pay expenses, and the chuich sociable make a bar rel of money. But some of the rest of you have got to fix this thing, and average it up. We have tried it and fatted. EXTRACTS FROM EMEKSON. Every noble activity makes room for itself. A great mind ia a good sailor, as a gieat heart is. We do not count a man's years un til he has nothing else to count. Books are the best things, well used; abused, anions the worst. Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great. An eye can threaten like a loaded and leveled gun, or can insult like hissing or kicking; or, in its altered mood, by beams of kindness, it can make the heart dance with joy. Nature never sends a great man into the planet without confiding the secret to another soul. Light is the first of painters. There is no object so foul that intense light will not make it beautiful. Qpod manners are made up of petty sacrifices. The writer, like a priest, must be exempted from secular labor. His work needs a frolic health. He must be at the top of his condition. There'is uo true orator who is not a hero. No man ever played heartily, with out learning something. There is a remedy for every wrong and a satisfaction for every soul. Hje only is a well-made man who has a good determination. I would study,! would know, I would admire forever. These works of thought have been the entertain ment of human thought in all ages. SC1ENTITIC MISCELLANY. Written expressly for the Gazette by a celebrated astern Scientist.. Excavations have been commenced at Tel-el-Maskhuta,in Egypt, on the supposed site of Raamses, one of the two cities sueci tied in the first chapter of Exodus as built by the forced labor of the Hebrews. It is hoped that inscriptions may bo discovered at this place which will enable EfryP ologists to identify the Pharaoh of Moses, to assign a dynastic date to the period of the oppression, and to settle the much-disputed question regarding the route of the Exodus. Funds are being r.-usea iu -land for prosecuting this important exploration. The plan of disposing of the sewnge of Berlin bv anph mg it as a fertilizer to farms much less satis- near hk r factory than was expected. Not only have the fa. mine operations been unprofitable, but the health of the inhabitants has been endangered by noxious vapors arisiug from sewage-saturated land. TV,.f Krh has severely criticised the experiments of Pasteur on anthrax disease and contends that the value of the process of protective vaccination which has been so extensively introduced in France has been ,.,n,r nvsr.pstimatcd bv hasty and un- scientific conclusions. A small balloon, having a capacity of about two gallons, is reported to have trav eled from Bercy, France, to Grodno in Po land a distance of more than 2,000 miles. This is the longest air trip ou record for so small an object. The Belgian Academy offers a prize of 5600 for the Lest treatise on the destruction of fish by the pollution of rivers sent in be fore Oct. 1, 1SS5. From three stations in northern Europe systematic observations and measurements of the aurora borcalis have been made throughout the winter, and one of the ob servers at least Prof. Tromholt confi dently expects that the comparison of the results which will soon be made will estab lish with considerable exactness the height above the earth at which this phenomeuou occurs, thus solving another perplexing problem of science. Prof. Tromholt has attempted several times to photograph the aurora, but has failed to get a trace of an image upon even the most sensitive plates. Prof. Graber, of Czernowitz, Austria, has made a long series of experiments concern ing the '-skin-vision" of animajs, and has proven that certain specie3 having no visual organs proper- such as the earth-worrn are not enly able to distinguish between different quantities of light, but also mani fest a decided preference for light of certain colors. Among the objects of the Swedish Arctic expedition are the exploration of the interior of Greenland, and a search for remains ot the Norsemen whose settlements existed iu that country from about the year 1000 to the end of the fourteenth century, and of whose uitimate fate little or nothing is known. It is expected that the expedition will start iu May, under the command of Baron Nordeuksjold. At the age of 97, Mons. Chevreui, the eminent French chemist, cr.n look back over an active scientific career of probably greater length than has fallen to the lot of any other man; and in a late address to the French Academy he had occasion to refer to a communication he had made to that body nearly 71 years before. Dr. William Thomson, of Melbourne, shows by statistics that the mortality from cosumption is increasing in Victoria, the deaths having been 11.49 to each 10,000 in habitants in 1S71 and 13.90 in 1881. He believes that the disease was imported into the colony from abroad, and couteuda that consumption is never induced by conditions of the atmosphere or soil, but is due to a specific parasitic poison. Cunsumptives de rive benefit from sea-voyages because they are constantly exposed to an atmosphere unfavorable to the development of the parasites. The attenton of several observers has been drawn to the prevalence of partial deafness among pupils in schools. The re searches of Dr. Gclle, who has had excel lent opportunities for studying the ear in young persons and who has met with 1400 cases of deafness among scholars, indicate that the hearing of twenty or twenty-five per cent of the children is weakened so far as to effect their understanding of lessons. This infirmity has not been understood, and the afflicted ones appear dull and backward, while their proper education suffers. To overcome as far as possible the effects of imperfect hearing, Dr. Gelle suggests, that the teacher should keep well in sight and speak slowly and distinctly; that school room should be away from disturbing sounds while stoves or hot-air currents should not be placed in the centre of classes; and that pupils should be seated with reference to their hearing power, the deafest being placed nearest the teacher. In ODe particular instance which he has investigated, Herr Kultzleb Las found- that the faiiure of a clover crop w as caused by a deficiency of easily soluble potash in the soil, and not by parasites or a ;lack of ni trogen or of water. The Horse. We havoi received a quantity of treaties on the horse, which wo propose to- give away to every subscriber paying in advance, f requested, whither p3rsonally, or by mail; if by mail send 3 cent stamp to pre pay postage. This book is well worth the price of the paper $2.50 to any person having horses. The A mtrictm Cultivator has the following to say of the treatise: "Kendall's Treatise on the horse is a book of about 90 pages, with paper covers, fully illustrated, and containing art "lulex and the best treatment of each; a table giv ing all the principal drugs used for the horse, with the ordinary dose, effects and antidote when a poison, a table with an en graving of the horse's teeth at different ages, with rules for telliug the age of the horse; a valuable collection of receipts, and much other valuable information. In pre paring copy for this book it was the aim of the author to make it as plain as possible. for the non -professional readers, and give them information which is of the greatest importance to horsemen, and yet avoiding all technical terms as much as possible, and also condensing the book as much as pos sible without leaving out the real essential information in treating each subject. Every farmer or horse-owner should own one of these little books. oodcock & Baldwin. Dealers in Shelf and Heavy DfW ARE Stoves and Tinware, Zinc Stove Pipe, Granite ware Etc., Etc., Etc. THE SEA LION. At the circus the other nitjht a young married woman of the West side was looking at the animals with her tiusband, having left the baby at home with the nurse. You know what a ridiculous noise the sea lions miikc. Well, the sweet young mother listened to the noise until she got nervous, and then she said to her young husband: "I wonder, pet, why they don't put some goose oil on the ea lion's neck ?" He looked at her as if he would eat her, and anybody would have done the same, and asked: "Why, darling, what would they put goose oil on his neck for?" She looked at him in a ennnin kiss-me-beforc-you-breathe sort of a way, and said. "Dont yon notice what a crotipy cough the sea lion has got?" The only thing he could do was to buy her a glass of red lemonade, and they went into the circus tent to see the oxen. Little Jtock Gazette. 'STOVES.) Latest Improved. (STOVES.
