Adulteration in India Itunnim.— Tho Bulletin Thcrapentiquo hh\h that, in order to nso old and worn out liicoos of India rubber scraps left from factories, manufacturers having easy consciences wash tho material Hrst in a solution of suporenrbonato of soda or potash, and then, when dry, pulverize between tho cylinders. This powdr r, placed layer by layer between sheota of now rubber and heated to a certain tie- groe, forms a homogeneous mass, in which tho fraud cannot be detected. Tho mixture is, however, weak iu tenon- ity and elaatioitv, and is unfit for sur gical use, while dangerous for bolt ing or other industrial employments. iNOOMnuBTinLE Paper and Ink.—Au KogUsh inventor has secured letters natont for an incombustible fire-proof ink. Tho pulp for tho pnper is com posed of vegotablo fibre, ono part; uslies, two parts; borax, ono-tenth part; and alum, two-tenth parts, Tho ink can be used either iu writing or painting, and ia made according to tho following recipe: Graphite, finely ground, twenty- two drachms; copal or other resinous gum, twelve grains; sulphate of iron, two drachms: tincture of nut-gall, two drachms; and sulphate of indigo, eight drachms. Those substances are thor oughly mixed and boiled iu wafer. The graphite can bo replaced by an earthly pigment of any desired color. PA'rrv MAmelia in Caht-Iron.—-An experiment made Jong ago by Proust revealed tho fact that fatty matters can be extracted from cast-iron when the latter is dissolved iu certain acids. • M.

This is a veritable organic synthesis, roalizod by the uid of Riibstiinces purely mineral, and is suBooptible, consequently, of important applications.

Alexander, in a loi ter to tho Hawaiian Gazette, giveH an interesting aooouut of his discovery of a vory romarkablo volcauio phenomena on West Maui, ono of tho Haudwioh Is lands. JJo found a orator on which wore noarly a score of voleunie pits, not ooiies, from fifteen to llfty foot broml, and ten to twenty feotdoop, with shrub- bory within oonoonling the charms be low. I rora six of tho pita columns of steam or smoko wore rising which wore destitute of sulphurous fumes nud had very little warmth. It is bolioved that theno pits nro connected with subterra- noau chambers heated by volcanic no tion, and that tho air nrisiug from the warm depths on uoold morning becomes changed to fuinos of steam. HPuarnuM or thr Oomkt.—-Fathor Heoolii 1ms obBorved tho spootrum of Coggm s ooinot, and finds the lineH of parboil la oxide and oarbonio acid very brilliant. The same astronomer notes a onrions phenomenon whioh recently happened in Jupiter's first satellite. Ihe atmosphere at the time of observa tion was quite clear, and tho disk of the planet, while plainly defined, presented a slightly wavy surface. Ah the satel lite Heart d the edge of Jupiter, and had advanced so that n distance of about one of its dinm tors separated it from the name, the observer was surprised U> see the disk appaiently extend itself toward tho satellite touch it, and then retract. This to and fro motion contin ued until ftho satellite was completely obscured by tho planet, a period of four or five minutes. Father Seechi sug- goHts that if similar uudulatioua of the solar disk take plaoo at tho time of the passage of Veuns, there will bo strong elements of uncertainty in the observa tions, nud that it would bo desirable to employ moiu.s whioh will reduce to n miuimmu these efTeets Of atmospheric oscillation. Mil, Dauwin is at present euguged in investigating some of tho flesh-eating plants, and some of liis notes upon Dio- turn musoipula or Veuua Fly Trap are very interesting. Tho leaf of this P ant is of very peculiar form. Tho blade of the leaf consists of two nearly semi-circular halves or lobes, whioh are uuited together along their straight border by a mid-rib. On to this the two lobes are set in plain's which are uearly at right, angles to each other. I ho curved outer edge of each lobe is streugtlnm;d by a thick border or hem. From the hem spriug some twenty spikes on either side, whioh are directed upward nud inward. The under sur face is bright green, smooth and glis tening, and ia marked with parallel streak8, ihe upper surface ia pink or red, and is besot with little rod projec tions, which are called glnuds. F.von after slight irritation, suoh ns that whioh is produced when a lly merely touches ono of the sensitive hairs, or when they are touched with a dry cam el-hair pencil, the leaf remains dosed for some lime, usually more thau twen ty-four hours, lint if a fly is caught, or auy other nutritious substance is in troduced, the case is different. For a week or more the leaf remains dosed on its prey, the two lobes being at first pressed flat against each other. The two lobes, indeed, close round tho fly so completely that its body gives rise to two projections of the (outer) surface of eae i lobe, which correspond to it in form. Tho result of this is that tho secreting glands on the part of tho loaf against which tho body of tlio fly presses arc irritated, anil begin to pour out a quantity of secretion. Gradually thin effect extends to tho rest of the loaf, oml consequently its cavity becomes gradually extended. Between this process and digestion the resem blance, ns Mr. Darwin has found by a most elaborate comparative inveatiga- lion, is comploto. It digests exactly tlio snmo substances in exactly the same way, i. e., it digests tho albuminous constituents of tho bodies of animals just as wo digest thorn. In both in stances it in essential that tho body to bo digested should bo steeped in n liquid, which in Diomca ia secreted by the rod glands on tho uppor surfaco of tho leaf: in tho other coso, by the .lands n{ the mucous membrane. In tioth tho not of secretion is excited by tho presence of tlio substance to be digested. In tho leaf, just ns in tho stomach, tlio secrotion is not poured out unlenii them is somothing nutritious contained in it for it to act upon, and finally in both oams tho secretion is acid. As regards the stomach, wo know what tho acid is; it is hyaroohlorio acid. As regards tho leaf, wo do not know precisely as yet, but Mr. Darwin has boon able to arrive at vorv probable conclusions, tho setting forth of which i look forward to in his expected work i tlio Drosoraccre. ( leaning Kid Ulovrs. During tlio warm weather kid aloves o ossify soiled, particularly as the prevailing colors aro quite light; and ns it costa some time and money to have them cleaned at tho dyer’s, wo givo our readers the secret of cleaning them at homo, whioh oan bo done as well paid for outside, Tnko n little sweet milk anil a piece of white or brown soap, Fold a cloan towel throe or four times, spread it. over your dress, and inroad out tho glovo smoothly upon it. rake a largo pieco of whito flannel, dip it into tlio milk, tlion rub it upon tho soup, and rub tho glovo downward toward tlio fingers, holding tho wrist of it by the left hand. Gontmuo this pro cess until tho glove, if white, looks of a dingy yellow, but if colored, looks dark and entirely spoiled. Now let it dry, and then put it on your hand, and it will bo soft, smooth, glossy clean. Tnko care, howover, to omit no part of tlio glove in rubbing it, and that all tho aoilcd parts aro thoroughly cleaned. This process applies only to while and colored kid gloves. For block gloves that, nro koilcil, turned whito and otherwise injured, take a tcnapnonful of salad oil, drop a fmv drops of ink into it, and rub it all over tho glnvoH with tho tip of feather ; then let them dry in tno sun. Whito kid boots and slippers can also be cleaned by tho first process to lock “as good as now," and black kid boots and slippers can lie restored to their pristine gloss by tho latter method. Interest on Friendship. In 1851) a young man named Osburn, who had recently arrived at the mines from tho cast, pcnnilos and friendless, wan token sick. Ho told his condition to a fel low-ndventurer named Hitchcock, who was a little hotter off, nnd the lat ter promised to " see him through." Tho promise wan kept, and when, after two mouths’ ill ness, Osburn arose from his bcnl, bis friend bunded him $250 to benr his expenses nnd to proouro tools, Maying to him, " If you ever get able you ran pay mo back, but do not worry yourself and injure your health in try ing to make the money too quick." One year and a half from that time Osburn sent Hilohonok $1,250, with tho fellow ing note : "I’ll pay interest on friend ship." H h labors proved remunerative, ana by 18751 bo was worth $350,000. While in Han Frnneiseo lie met aud recognized his old friend. When i hoy parted, after several days companion ship, Onburu gave Hit ohoook a sealed package, with the injunction ti nt it was not to lie opened until he was on the ours. There Hitchcock found that it ooutniued n deed for one-sixth of u rich silver mine, with a small note continu ing tho words : " Interest on friend ship." Hitohcook has Hold his inter est for $80,000.—Stockton (Cal.) Inde pendent, Manure, Josiah Shull, in an address before the Gdiitral New York Farmer’s Club, relates tlio following experiment in the application of green and rotten manure : 1 have used excrement matter in the spring of tho year, spread nnd plowed under and cultivated, and well incorpo rated with the soil, aud planted the laud with potatoes. Tho potatoes did finely, were well formed nnd fine for tho table. At the same tiino, and on the same piece of laud, plowed under well-rotted ma nure, with ti c same cultivation, and the potatoes were overgrown, ill-shaped nnd soggy, not fit for the market or tho ta ble. My theory in the case of tho dif ference in the quality of tho crop was that the manure being well composted the notion on tho plants was so vigor ous ns to cause the tubers to grow very rapidly, consequently they were soggy and not fit for the table. Whereas, on tho part planted with the raw material the decomposition was just rapid enough nnd at tho right tun \ Quicks Victoria, not content with dressing very plainly horsolf (aud even shabbily at tunes), and with repressing every tendency to dressiness on tho part of the billies of the royal family, is iu the habit of snubbing those Indies of the court who indulge in what her majesty is pleased to consider an over-dressiness of style. I wish she would get the English dames nud dam eels to havo their evening dresses made a little higher in tho ooreago. I am told that tlio bad taste in dress of the Duchess of Ediugburgh is something fearful to contemplate. Her latest in novation iu that line consists iu appear ing at tho opera in a large laoe-oap, plentifully bedizened with bows aud flowers, which novel head-dress causes her royal and imperial highness to look more like a middle aged dowager than a blooming bride.—Lucy Hooper in Phil.

Tho Baiatoga correspondent of tho Hpringfield Republican says : Baratoga potatoes, tho poetry of a common life and costly charm of Dolmonioo’a and Parker’s oan bo mode in perfection in any kitchen by the nso of a vory simple apparatus consisting of a sharp blade not slanting into a wooden trough with a narrow slit in tlio bottom, two wire screens or sieves, nnd a common spider. Belcct eight largo potatoes, pare them and slico very thin with the cutting ma chine, soak thorn in cold water for two hours, and stir common tftblo salt into the water, ono teaspoon fill to a q trait, and allow them to remain in tho brine half an hour longer. Pour them into tho screen to drain, nnd put on a snider with a pound of clear lard over a brisk flro. Wipo tho sliced potatoes dry on a towel, wait until tho lard is smoking hot, anil pour a largo plateful into the spider.

Jno, Mitchell, theoxiio, who has sailed for Ireland to engage in tlio politics of that country, says that no good oar como to Ireland from tho British par liamont, and that Ireland can never bt prosperous or happy till sho has com plete control of her own destinies, and tho connection with Eugland entirely soverod.

IIo will not place himself iu antagonism with tho homo rulo movement, but he intends to demonstrate to ling I and and to tho world that thoro is something stronger nnd more det tinincd ill Ireland than home rulo. Ho hus a firm conviction that England will never grant self-gov ernment till forced to do so, nud that all her d-lusivo concessions to Ireland have boon wrung from her by foroo or the four of it.

A correspond) nt of tlio Prairie Farm er writing from southern Illinois, tlniH deroribes bis way to keep chinch bugs from ruining bis corn : If the bugs aro in your oorn, say a few rows, make up your mind to give them and the remainder of your corn, and on nil sides, if there is any probability of tholr coming in, plow a ditch, with a good sized plow, as deep as you can with one horso, throwing the furrows, one on side and tho other opposite, then hitch your horse to a log, pay eight inches in diatnete • and seven feet long. Mount your log nnd drag through your ditch or ditches until the earth iH ns dry and fine an (lour iu tho bottom, and on both sides. Keep it in this con dition by draggring your log twice n day. And thoctmiequeuee will be that a few, very few, bugs will get over, the fine earth nu the aides affording no foothold. This way is simple, easy and sure, and if your oiiinch hugs oan olimb tho sides of Hiieh a ditch thoirpowi rsof locomotion are butter than tho breed in Knypi- The Cotton Crop.

Cotton Manufacturers' Dividends, The south and west aro becoming a little envious of the huge profits of the manufacturing companies iu Now Eng land, and ono of their wide-awake jour nals, to show just how it iH, 1ms com oiled a table of tho dividends dclnred by some of the leading cotton and wool en mills in 18751. From this it appears that twenty-six companies out Jof forty- soveu divided from ten to thirty per cent. each. The Ohioopeo declared thirty per cent., tho Cooheco twenty, tho Lancaster twenty-two aud a half, and the Pacific mills twenty per cent. Results like these are certainly calcu lated to excite the manufacturing ambi tion of other communities. And at some future day, when southern capital will be a less intangible thing thau it is at presout, investments, in enterprises of that kind will doubtless be more common tlmu they aro at present.—iV.

No Person oan take t Iiokc Ritters according; to directions, and remain !oug unwell, provided their ’jcuc.s are not do- stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted bo* oud repair. Bilious. Bom if foul and Inter* miffont rovers, which are so preva lent in the valleys of our great livers throughout tho United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois,Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savanuah, Ro anoke, James, nnd many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Autuqin, and remarkably s« i during sea sons of unusual heat and drying, aro invariably accompanied by extensive de rangements of tho stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon those various or- ans, is essentially necessary. Tlioro t no cathartic for the purpose equal to )it. J Walker's Vinegar Bitters, s they will speedily remove the dark- colored viscid matter with which tho bowels are loaded, at the same timo stimulating tho secretions of the liver, and generally restoring tho healthy functions of tho digestive organs. Fortify (lie body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Hitters. No epidemic can lake hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspopsin or Indigestion, Head ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of trio Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, llad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita- tatiou of the Heart, Inflammation of tho Lungs, Pain in the region of tho Kid neys, and a hundred other painful symp toms. are the offsprings of Dyspepsia.

To guard against this, take a dose of Walker's Vin- koar Bittkhh occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet ter, Salt-Khemn, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncle.-, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, liiscoloratinr.s'of tho Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up nnd carried ont of the system in a short time by tho use of theso Bitters. Pin, Til pc, ami other Worms, larking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an- tuehnimtics will free the system from worms like the.-e Bitters. For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo manhood, nt tho turn of life, these Tonic Bitters display so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse tho Vitiated Blood when- ever you find iu impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or .Sores: cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish iu the veins; cleanse it when ic is foul; your'feeling* will tell von when. Keep the oioou pure, and the health of the system will follow. R. h. McDonald a co m DnipsrWu nnd Gen. Agts. Ain Francisco, California, anil cor. of Washington nnil Charlton Sir... N Y.
