A Young Sride Falls Through a
Crevasse os Mont Blanc.
A melancholy accident has just occur
red in Switzerland. Mr. and Mrs. Lis
keard, a young English pair on their wed
ding tour, set out with a party of friends
to make an ascent of Mont Blanc. When
they had reached the summit of the Cor
ridor, the ladies felt the cold so severely
that the guiles advised the party to re
turn. Ail were fastened together with
ropes, and the bride set out leaning upon
the arm of a guide.
Hardly had they taken a hundred paces
when Mrs. Liskeard and her companion
suddenly disappeared down a^tsrevasse,
covered with a slight layer of frozen snow.
Unhappily, the rope by which they were
connected with the others broke, and they
were seen no more. The husband at once
procured extra assistance from the
Grands-Chalets, but the bodies could not
be recovered, and it is thought they are
some thousand feet down in the mountain.
The death of the two unfortunate persons
must have been instantaneous.
Appalling Catastrophe.
Syracuse, N. Y., Juno 23.—An ap
palling catastrophe occurred hereto night
at a strawberry festival being held at the
parlors of the Central Baptist Church,
when, without any premonition, the
floor gave way, precipitating the room
fall into the story below the parlor, which
was on the second floor, and the room
underneath was also full. The fire alarm
was immediately given, and the firemen
hurried to the scene. Some 10,000 peo
ple were there, and tremendous excitement
prevailed. It is impossible to give the
particulars at this hour. Five dead bodies
have been taken out and the work has
hardly commenced. Probably 100 persons
are more or less injured—many very ser
iously.
“Civil nights” in a Barber Shop.
A Chattanooga letter to the Cincinnati
Commercial tells the following:
That was a good reply w hich a colored
barber in this city gave to a delegation
of colored men who called upon him for
the purpose of claiming the right to be
shaved “the same as a white man.” “Sir,”
said the spokesman of the delegation, “we
demand the right to be shaved here”. 1
“It cant be done,' answered the colored
barber.
Then the spokesman came. down with
a pertinent thrust, saying, “Ain’t our
money as good as anybody’s ?" And the
colored barber answered thus: “Yes,
just as good, but there is not enough of
it”
That covered the cabe exactly. It was
an answer worthy of a philosopher. The
darkeys money is as good as anybody’s to
the barber, but there is not enough of it
to compensate him for the loss of hie
white custom.
The barber, in telling me this circum
stance, said: “I am a colored man, and
have to work for a living, and the minute
I commenced shaving darkeys that minute
every one of my white customers would
leave me. The biggest Radical in town
would quit me just like the Democrats.
It’s contrary to the nature of a white man
to want to mix that way with4he negroes;
and, what’s more, they won t do it. Y du
can’t get a white man in this town to
shave in a shop where negroes are sha
ved. I wouldn’t either, if I was them,
and I'm not going to break up my busi
ness to accommodate a few swellhead
niggers who want to put on all the style
of white men.”
Now, when colored men will not admit
their colored brethren to the enjoyment
of equal rights in the barber shop, how
are we to expect white men to do it ?

per centum of its circulation, to be held
and used for the redemption of such cir
culation, which sum shall be counte*! as a
part of its lawful reserve as provided in
section 2 of this act; and when the cir
culating notes of any such associations,
assorted or unassorted, shall be present
ed for redemption in sums of $1,000 or
®ny multiple thereof to the Treasurer of
tlie United States, the same shall be re
deemed in United States notes. All notes
so redeemed shall be charged by the
Treasurer of the United States to the
respective associations issuing the same,
and he shall notify them severally on the
first day of each month or oftener, at his
discretion, of the amount of such re
demptions, and whenever such redemp

depository of the United States, be for

and when such redemptions have been so
reimbursed, the circulation notes so res
deemed shall be forwarded to the resjiec
tive associations by which they were is
sued; but if any such notes are worn,
mutilated, defaced or rendered otherwise
unfit for use, they shall be forwarded to
the Comptroller of the Cnrrency, and do
stroyed and replaced as now provided by

the charges for transportation and the
costs for assorting such notes, and the
associations hereafter organized shall
also severally reimburse to the Treasury
the oost of engraving such plates as shaU
be ordered by each association respective
ly, and the amount assessed upon each
association shall be in proportion to the
circulation redeemed, and be charged to
the fund on deposit with the Treasurer ;
and, provided further, that so much of
section 32 of said National Bank act re
quiring or permitting the redemption of
its circulating notes elsewhere than at its
own counter, except as provided for in
this section, is hereby repealed.
Sec. 4. That any association organized
under this act, or any of the acts of which
this is an amendment, desiring to with
draw its circulating notes, in whole or in
part, may, upon the deposit of lawful
money with the Treasurer of the United
States, in sums of not less than $9,000,
take up the bonds which said association
lias on deposit with the Treasurer for the
security of such circulating notes, which
bonds shall be assigned to the bank in
the manner specified in the 19th section
of the National Bank act; and the out
steading notes of said association, to an
amount equal to the legal tender notes
deposited, shall be redeemed at the Treas
ury of the United States, and destroyed,
as now provided by law: provided that
the amount of the bonds on deposit for
circulation shall not bo reduced below
$50,000.
Sec. 5. That the Comptroller of the
Currency shall, under such rules and reg

may prescribe, cause tlie charter mem

The plow is, par excellence, the em
blem of agriculture, and its history, both
authentic and mythological, possesses a
peculiar interest The period at which
man first began to comminute the soil
for the purpose of making it produce sus
tenance of himself anil his flocks is so re
mote as to be lost in the obscurity of the
past; but that it was at an early period is
clear. It is also generally admitted that
the ox and cow were in this age used as
native farmers, and it is asserted that
men and women captured in war and re»
duced to slavery were employed in this
way before the ox was trained or the cow
became accustomed to the yoke; for war,
and its offspring, slavery, are older than
agriculture.
The earliest plow was a pointed stick,
with which the primitive man used to break
up the soil. This was a slow and labo
rious process, and one day the thought
came to one wiser than his fellows that
the forked limb of a tree might be made
efficient for this purpose. Acting upon
this thought, he formed a plow by cut
ting a forked limb from a free and sharp
ening one of the prongs, so that it would
penetrate the soil. It took two persons
to use this implement—one to draw it,
which he did by a bark or rawhide trace,
and one to hold and push it into the
ground. This, the first plow, proved a
great success, and was for a while thought
to be the neplus ultra of improvement in
that line. In the course of time, how
ever, some ingenious laborer began to
question the perfection of this implement,
and finding a limb of somewhat different
shape, he constructed an improved plow.
The fogies shook tbeir heads and mutter*
ed “humbug,” but the progressive men
adopted it, and it ultimately superseded
the earlier devices. Ages went by before
the forked stickplow was succeeded by
another, composed of several pieces of
wood held together by mortises and pins.
This was improved from time to time, un
till it approached as near perfection as it
was possible for a plow composed wholly
of wood.
The Romans were probably the first
to use iron in tlie construction of the
plow. The plow that Cincinnatus fol
lowed was a rude affair, with no iron in
it except the point and share. The
Greeks have a myth which is interesting
in this connection. Frosperine, a daugh
ter of Geres (goddess of agriculture,) was
abducted by Pluto while she was in the
forest gathering flowers, and was install
ed as queen of the lower regions. Ceres,
inconsolable at the loss of her daughter,
wholly neglected the agricultural inter
ests in her search for the missing goddess.
The result was that the whole earth
eventually became a barren waste. Jupi
ter o«d the other gods implored her to
return to Olympus and resume her du
ties as guardian of agriculture, but in
vain. She could think of nothing except
her lost daughter. Jupiter now visited
Pluto and persuaded him to permit Pros-
perine to revisit the earth and remain
eight months each year, and then return
and spend the other four with him. Ceres
consented to this arrangement, and at
once returned to Olympus. Before go
ing, however, she instructed Triptolemus
of Eleusis in the art of agriculture, and
giving him her own chariot, drawn by
dragons, commanded him to travel over
the whole earth and distribute seed corn
to its inhabitants. Triptolemus was the
inventor of the plow. The Greeks held
two feasts a year in his honor, one on ac
count of the distribution of seed and the
other because he invented the plow, with
out which the seed would have been of
little ass.
Little improvements seems to have
been mads in the plow used by the Greeks
n.nd Romans for over two thousand years,
and indeed it was a most clumsy affair,
as recently a* fifty years ago being only
a wedge, clearing the soil and compress
ing the subeoiL
It may be predicted that before many
years, some Yankee Triptolemns will
iwvokitionue the plow by constructing
one that. all combine the functions of
both the plow and the harrow, and possi
bly other and valuable adjuncts not now
anticipated. With all due respect to the
great plowmskers, it must be admitted

tionw attempts in this direction have al
reaily been made, but they, like all first
attempts to embody a new idea, have
been only partially successful. It is a
recognised axiom of modem times, that
“American genian mid perseverance know

Be assured tliat when once a woman
begins to be ashamed of what she ought
About 8 years ago, while at dinner with
my family, I waz informed that thaie
waz a gentleman in the parlor who must
see me imegiately on very important b'zz-
ness.
Hastening from the table, i found my
self in tlie presence ov a plainly dresed
but very nervous man, who informed me
that he waz canvassing mi district for the
sale of Doctor Erastus Spignot’s new
work, entitled the “Normal Circnlashun
ov the Blood.”
I at once imformeil the man that i did
not want tbe work.
He then begun a long ackount ov its
value and importanse to every human be
ing, when i broke in upon his eloquence
bi repeating ‘ that i did not want the
book.”
He continued by telling me that no li
brary would be komplete without it.
Again i deklared in the mOst posatiff terms
“that i did not want the work. ”
At this point the stranger seated him
self in a chair, and deliberately drew tho
book in question out ov hiz satchel, and
informed mo that no gentthman to whom
he had offered had failed at once to sub
scribe.
Growing desparate, i deklared in the
most emphatik tones “that i would not
hav the book at any price.”
Rising from hiz chair, he took oph his
overcut, and throwing it carelessly on
the sofa, struck an attitude, and for ten
minutes gave the most glowing ackount
ov the circnlashun ov the bind and the
anatomy ov man that i ever listened to.
I onco more assured him, in a beseech
ing manner, “that i did not want the
book.”
Seating himself again in the chair, and
wiping the drops of perspirashen from
hiz brow, he went back to the days of
Adam and Eve, and for half an hour talk'
ed as no human ever talked before on the
various diseases the human Bistem was
subject to, closing up with a vivid recital
ov the cirkulashen of the bind.
Again i insisted upon it that the book
would be ov no use to me, and that i
would not hav it.
Springing from his seat, with the book
in his hand and his eyes flashing fire, and
his whole manner intense, he began to
sho me its kontents, commencing at the
title-page.
I saw at last that it was wuss than
madness to resist enny longer, so i sub
scribed for the book, consoling miself
with the refleeshun that if i ever had a
book to sell miself i would have it sold bi
subskripshun.
The more i think ov it, i am so delited
with the pious energy and long suffering
ov the took canvasser, that i wouldn’t
think ov selling a book enny other wav.
He iz a man whom yu can't escape enny
more than yu can your own shaildo: he
follows hiz victim like a ghost and
hangs around him grinning like an un..
dertaker.
The only way to get rid ov him iz to
subscribe at once, and let him go for the
next phellow.
The shaving soap man and the life in
surance agent are very good in their way,
but they don't kompare with the book
canvasser for lively work any more than
the pensive cockroach dnz to the red hot
muskeeto.
They steal on yu like a kat on a mouse,
when you aint looking for them, and, like
the fly in the spider’s web, the more yu
tri to git out the further yu git in.
I luv the book canvasser now; hiz
words are like hunny in tlie comb, and
his logic is like sweet ile; and though he
may sell Die a book i don t want, and
wont hav, tliare is real plain in tho way
he duzit
I subscribe now, at least onco a year,
for sum kind or a book that i never look
into, with a title az long as the tail ov a
kite, just bekause the book canvasser iz
so polite and so utterly impossible to git
rid ov.—M. Y. Weekly.

The Deterioration of the Fotato.
The potato, being a mountain tropical,
is subject, in our climate especially, to
changes of temperature very different
from its condition in its native habita
tion. The very statement of its history
seems to prove that, as it now exists
among us, it has mainly lived its life out,
but its vigor in its wild state may be,
and probably is still unimpaired. It is
highly probable that if some man pos
sessed of the requisite knowledge and
skill were to go to South America, and
seek out the healthiest locality where the
potato is indigenous, and, selecting from
the healthiest wild vines, bring them by
good cultivation to a proper degree of
perfection in their native habitation, then
selecting from these the very earliest
that could possibly be produced there,
bring them to this climate with all their
native vigor unimpaired, we might thus
obtain seedings of original health and
vigor of constitution. The expense of
course would be considerable, but if the
government could be induced to rise
above mere political considerations, and
appoint some such person as our minis
ter to Chili, and perhaps one or two other
South American States upon tho Pacific
coast, congress making the necessary pro
vision for his or their additional expenses,
the desired result might be brought
about without much outlay of money.
Or if some society, or some wealthy indls
vidnal, would undertake the matter, great
public good to all mankind might thus
be accomplished—Joumal of ('hem dttry.
The elephant, like the whale, is dy

The. hunters have driven him farther and

to protect him, he will before long be
come, upon the main continent, at any
rate, altogether extinct, and Sehib will
have to import his elephants from Birs
mah and Ceylon, much as we in England
import oar horses from Ireland and our
foxes from any country that will send to
us in sufficient number and of sufficient
size and strength.—London Telegraph.
