Lhey had with them a goxl supply of ammunition, blankets and UmhI, he- hide taking with them a tent. They pitched. their tent at the bead water of the , wtst fork of Erownlee ererk, and about' noon of the 2nd of Dcceru- ler they started in search of deer. When out some time they separato-d. White's statement in to the effect that be lookel around for Brown but could not fiud him, and returned to the tent id the evening. Brown did not re turn up to the eud of forty-eight hours so White returned to the terry and notified the people there that enow had fallen to the depth of two feet Inrfore be hit csmp. On lit rcporU-g Brown's disappearance, all the mn in the neighborhood start d in search of the body, ami remained out until snow interfered, but during the entire sum mer men h;ve been looking for the body, without ucce-. Two months ago a band of Indian went through the mi unUint but could tet no tid ings of the misiDg" nua ; bat on the 20h inet. Mr. Thomas. Arthur, while hunting, uncovered a gun and a pir of mitten, lying at the iaead of a small gulch. Mr. Murphy reported the matter to the senior Mr. Brown at the ferry, and a party of searchers started out on the 22nd, and the fol lowing day Andy Williamson found the skeleton of a man, about a quarter of a mile from the lent, and about the same distance from where the mittens and gun had been found. The gun when found, was still loaded. the body was intact, showing that it liad not been molested by wild animals. The body was lying on its back, and indications are that be was on hia w.iy to the tent when he fell. Blood marks were found on his clothing, and the coioner deemed it advisable to hold an lr.queat on the remains. xJrowu was 32 years old, and leaves a widow and three children. Ale. Charles W bite. who accompanied Brown on the ex petition, is described an a crank. One man relates a story oi lute being on the road with a friend some time go. White was riding a mule, tut had run out of feed, liis friend had an abundance of it, and told White to tu-e some, bat rather than do it he took the mule into the mountain and shot it. Since the finding of Brown's body White has been running like a wild man along the banks of a crev k There are some fears that he is insane. K'lre Hoard a Steamer.

Don't nsglict to clean your orchard of all nest of worm, etc., and, if neeewary, make a minionary todr to your lax neighbor' orchard for it i not only an act of charity, hut of self defenee.

It is something wise to dirsharge the duties of your neighbors lu addition to your owu, tucli benevolence being profitable. This is what a good many farmers want to know, that is how to make more corn, and here isV bit of aeiwi ble talk abut tbe matter The best way to get more corn is get increased yield from the same acreage. A poor corn crop necessarily . cost so much labor that it rarely pays a profit. But if the land is manured highly and cul tivated thoroughly the crop rarely or never fails to pay. It is easily poiUe to double the corn yield on the pres ent acreage, and that, oo, without coming near the large yields which have been obtained in special cases. . The advantages of dishorning old animals have, probably been exagger ated. A bull or cow used to hooking i only temporarily made harmless -jr dishorning. While the receuHj, wouiula are ore, such auimal will keep quiet, but with returning freedom from pain will be found A return of former vio iotisimasv. The art of butting is not lost with the horna, ami a g od butt- r, if viciously inclined, needs to be guarded against with or without horna. It is held that the destruction of the cabbage worm may be aceonip!Uhod by the ue of pyrethruro. It should be in the use of fresh powder and iu this form may ! bought at any drug store.

It 1 easily possible in season of abundant b'ossoming for one-half tbe set of fruit to make more bulk t f ap ples than J he jrhol. i The codling moth tlum and usually too much, but does not do it the right way. Tho ap ples are half or two-thirds crown be fore they drop and fall. The true w.iy is to spray tho tree with Paris greenio destroy the worm, and then hand-pick tne truit belore it terms seeds, and thus exhausts the vitality of the tree. Tbe corn crop In all the great corn- producing Slates is a very largo one and is now safely ripened. No oth-.M grain crop is quite so important a this to the prosperity of all branches of farming, aud therefore of the entire country. It i the pivot upon which everything elae swings. The crop thia year wm te something more than 2,000,000,000 bushels, and in butter, cheese, beef and pork will largely swell our exports, and make up for the deficiency tn our wheat crop. Oat are almost exclusively sold by weight, and all grain should be. There is a great difference in the, weight of this grain, varying with season, variety ... ... . . ana locality. etemoaia, lor some cause, are much lighter than those grown in New York and Eastern States. The standard weight per bushel is also two to four pounds lea, Light oats are usually caused by hot dry weather as the grain ia filling, W herever sucb weather prevails the seed quickly degenerates, and needs to be .renewed every few years by import ations from Euroie, where cooler Hum mers make the. coudilions for grow ing heavy .oats more favorable than here. , . Desperate efforts are made by some farmers to finish plowing or planting or cnltivating'a crop just to, beat some neighbor who has the . enviable repu tation of always being ahead of anv ioneelee with his work. ' The idea of keeping work well in hand is a good one, and the honor of leading the-v. in in a neighborhood in all kinds of work is one worthy 4o be son grit after; but there are other considerations that tire 'of much more importance than that or being able to. say that no one is farther along with their work thxn rou ale. Ground is sometimes made haid to cultivate by being plowed .while too wet, and crops, are Borne times ruined by putting the med in the earth when it is nt in tbe proper condition.

Marvelous PoMtbtlftles of the taeeotiona Mads by Lieutenant Orayduit. There appears to be every indication that within the next five year enor mous stride will be made by the United States towards securing adequate pro tection against foreign Invasion. This protection will not be accomplished, in alt probability, by the old obaoleto system of fortifications which were sufficient for other days and genera tions in the early part of tbe present century. Instead of them, the United States will probably be armed . with weapons of defensive warfare so power ful in their destructive capacity as to convince the would-be invader that hia armada may be blown out of the water and totally annihilated before he can fire bis first gun, no matter how thickly plated with armour his vessel may be. A great deal baa leen heard within the ptist few months of the ZslinHki dynamite gun, and tlie army appropriation bill carries an item of $0"K,000 to bo used in supplying the military service f the United States with this gun. It is also understood that the naval bill will have a similar amount for lik weapons for the nary. IJ.it there is another method for firing dynamite which will also be adopted. In "all probability, aud which, owing to, Its simplicity, promises greater results than tho Zalluakl gun. During the Tonquln war the Chinese Government employed an offlirerof the United State navy, namely, Lieutenant GrayUon, to block ths Canton river in order that the progress of the French fleet might be ehked. Lieutenant Graydon could not secure an extended leave of ab sence) for the purpose of conducting this work, and, in Consequence, re signed hi position in the United States uavy. He. was so successful In his work that he wa offered something llkeWO.O0O by the Viceroy of Ton quln to blockade in a similar manner the Mia river, but the Viceroy of Can ton, fearing a visit of the Fronch fleet, declined to allow him to leave and tbe offer had to be declined, and the result was that Foo Chow was captured, by the French. Lieutenant Gravdon ha devised a system for firing dynamite from ordi nary cannon, which system has been tested at Sandy Hook with remarkable it milt. There waa presented to the Mil itary Committee of the House coblea of Wtera from several of the foremost military and naval officers of the coun try, In which they spoke. In terms of the highest ."praise of the Graydon method of exploding dynamite. Ad miral Jouett expresses the firm convic tion that the use of dynamite, with its onderful power to annihilate, will prove to be the moct effective means of checking warefare. As soon as the nations of the earth ascertain that the declaration of war means absolute de struction for their fleets and their sol diers, arbitration will bo resorted to, instead of apKaling to gunpowder and tho sabir. A large sum has been ap propriated fdr testing this new weapon. and aa experiment will probably be made under the direction of the offi cers of the army and navy some time this ' summer, as to ita effectiveness n.'ainst one of tho old monitors. Those who have seen Lieutenant Croydon's work in the pat aro satisfied that with a nrleen-lncn nao cannon, at a ins tance of four miles, ho could blow from the face of the sea the most powerful armored vessel of any ' navy in the world. Washington "Letter. 1 COLONY OF. LEPERS. Ths lataait Rt Apart for Tbelr rse by the lfawaiuui OofrraaoDt. The leper community is on the island of Molokaia, In the Hawaiian archipelago. On this island are a number of precipitous peaks, and at the . base of one of these, which is three thousand foet high, lie the Kaluapapa plains, stretching seaward, and wholly without communication with the rest of the island, except by sea, as the wall of rock stretches oa either side to the water's edge. To this plain, thus isolated by nature,- all lepers are banished as soon as the first symptoms of the disease appear. This settlement was formed by order of the King in lH'Mi, for it waa found that in spite of stringent commands to secure the isolation of individual cases, these could not be c irried out while the lep ers were allowed to live with their families and friends. Outside of the fact that the lopers are debarred from any direct communication witn . bob - infected persons, no restriction is laid uptfh them. Their village, which has usually an average of about eight hun dred inhabitants, has its churches, schools, and stores as the other vil lages have, and also"Goverament offices. The Government provides all with shelter, necessary clothing, and daily rations of good food, for all luxuries they must depend upon their own re sources or the- generosity of friends. Medicine and the attendance of a phy sician are provided by the Government, which also appropriates $20,000 a year, a certain proportion of which is to be given for every instance of actual cure in the case, of a leper. All officials on the- island are lepers: the teachers, and the ministers, with the exception of a Roman Catholic priest, are lepers. These unfortunates employ themselves in various ways; have a band of music and a military drill. There is a large hospital, kept in admirable condition. in which the more advanced ana more serious cases are cared for. The lepers of the Sandwich Islands are not "lepers white as snow."

THE. PERFUMER'S . ART.

The hawthorn was the flower which formed the wreaths of Athenian brides. At. the present day tbe bridal wreath U almost entirely composed of orange blossoms on a background of maidenhair fern a sprig here and there of stepban otia blending its exquisite fragrance. Much uncertainty exists as to why this blossom has been, so much worn by brides; but the general opinion seems to be that it was adopted as an emblem of fruitf ulness. The custom of using orange ' blossoms at bridals has been traced to the Saracens, among whom the orange blossom was regarded as a symbol of a prosperous marriage, . a circumstance which is partly to be accounted for by the fact that in the Ease the orange tree bears ripe fruit and blossoms at the same time.
