WHITTEN roll THE BUINA VlKl'A AUUUti. (Join Cribs and Kals. Mr. Editor: Among llio various cxpodicnls re commended lor economizing on the farm tlicro sipix-ars to ho nothing thought about tho dopredutiouß of nils on tho corn-crib; but 1 assure von it is a considerable item. Not long sinco 1 heard of one of our neighbors having killed several hundred rats in one day about bis crib or on bis premises. This sounds hke an exaggeration. 1 Jut those who have allowed the rats to uso their cribs as a nursery will not be at all surprised at it. But, lest some of your readers should fail to read on to the idea I wish to inculcate, I will come it at once. A farmer ought not to allow the rats admittance into Ids crib. If the reader intends to erect a framed crib, he can easily exclude the rats by making his floor tight, as it ought to be to save the scattered 'grains of corn, and making his walls tight, up to the boxing, and fixing a ..plank across each end to join the boxing at each corner. You understand, if weil acquainted with rats, that they cannot travel one step with their back downwards, so that when one of them climbs np to the boxing on the sides of the crib or to the plank fixed across the end so as to meet the boxieg at the corners, lie can go no further. If lie is allowed to reach the shingles he is sure to get in. But, perhaps, the reader, in view 01 the tightness of the times, is dis posed to erect a log crib. Well, that can bo made rat-proof, also., Let your sills be well hewed on the bottom side, and fourteen or sixteen inches wide. Let your blocks be ta pered oft so as to he three and a half or four inches thick at the upper end. Place your blocks under the middle of the sills so as to have four or five inches from the block to the edge of the sill, so as to prevent the rats from reaching the body of the house. If you allow the rats to raise their fam ilies in your cribs the plantation will soon be thoroughly stocked with the mischievous creatures. On a plan tation where the rats are not allowed to live in the crib and there are a few vigilant cats rats will he scarce. Very respectfully, C- H. McCall. The "Washington Star publishes some interesting information in re spect to the profits realized from the Wilson patent for the “four motion feed, used by sewing ma chine companies, against the re newal of which the House Com mittee on Patents recently report- The patent was obtained in 1850, and as the invention was a very important and useful one its value was at once recognized, and by various arrangements with Mr. Wilson, the inventor, it was adopt ed by all the more important and extensive manufactories in the United States, the inventor be coming a stockholder in one of them. From statistics furnished the committee in examining the merits of the question, it appears that this sewing machine combina tion sold during throe years -1,175, 981 machines. These machines, according to the report of the com mittee, are reddled at an average ] rice of S6B, and it further ap pears that they can bo manufac tured and sold, including a reason able profit, for $32,50. In addition to his profits as stockholder in one of the “combination companies,” Mr. Wilson was entitled to a por tion of the royalties paid in license fees under the scheme. With one exception, which will expire next year, all the patents introduced and used by this combination are pow at an end. The largest armor plate ever made was produced on March 15, at the Cy clops Works of Messrs. Cammed & Cos., in Sheffield, England. The thickest made previously was fourteen inches, hit the plate made on the 15th ult. was twenty-two inches thick. It is one of several intended for two war vessels now constructing for the Italian Gov ernment. The plate, which weighs thirtyffive tons, will be tested by a oue liundred ton gun. Each vessel will have two turrets, and each turret two guns. The plate was very successfully wiled. A lady fixed the following letters in the bottom of her flour barrel, and ask* ed her husband to read them, 0 I C U £ M TANARUS, The Falling Rock. On Sunday hundreds of people visited the mountain for tiie pur pose of taking a look at the im - mense mass which is slowly sever ing itself from tho lodge of rocks.at Bragg’s bluff, near the toll gate. The first indications of this sever ing process were discovered about a week ago, and since then tho work has been almost constantly gotng on. The greatest progress so far discovered has been an inch an hour, hut on Sunday, at 3:30 i*. m., it had rcaclfod a distance of about sixteen feet from the parent ledge. The crevice is about thir ty feet deep. Tho length of the falling rock is about one hundred feet, and tho weight is estimated to be about six thousand tons. That rock commences just above the.spring near the toll gate, out of which, standing under this great mass of rock, so many people have drank feeling perfectly secure. Waen the rock falls it will take with it this cool chamber where so many have slaked their thirst. Down at the base, between the falling part and the lodge lias been opened a bank of beautiful white sand which has Leon pro nounced by judges to be superior for making glass. The severed part is ornamented by three pretty good f.irest trees. The distance between the road and the cliff is so small that the rock will undoubted ly fall across the road and go thun dering down the side of the moun tain, carrying with it trees and whatever may he in its track. Peo ple are still passing in front of it on toot and a few venturesome ones on horseback. We fear somebody will try this experiment just one too many times. Sunday night, about ten o’clock, some thirty tons of \ rock fell from tho front of the mov ing mass'. It is still moving, , though less rapidly than hereto fore. The tall will be a wonder ful sight, and ages hence, people who see this huge mass in the val ley beneath, will wonder what great upheaval sent it to its rest ing place. ‘‘Tims Time, the tomb builder,” levels mountains and tills up valleys, and we doubt not that much which is ascribed to wonder ful commotions in nature is the re . suit simply of the ceaseless work ing of the never idle destroyer, Ti me. —Chattanooga Commercial , 28th. Russia an! Herzegovina. The following dispatch may serve to throw some light on the political “complication” which is supposed to have caused the Bus sian Czar’s abdication: London, March 29. —The Times’ Berlin special says : The Bussian press is gradually withdrawing from the conservative position as sumed at the beginning of the rebel lion in Herzegovina. Neither the necessity of keeping Turkey in tact, nor the expediency of Russia acting conjointly will Austria is any longer insisted upon. The Official Invalids (Bussian), on the contrary, attributes the dangerous position of the Insurgents to Aus tria’s partiality for Turkey, forget ting entirely that Austria’s pro ceedings have been so long sup ported by Bussia. The Moscow Gazette, which is always well informed in foreign matters, has suddenly changed is tone. It proposes that Turkish troops be withdrawn from Herze govina and the province either ceded to or placed under the ad ministration of Montenegro, who, in return, might be induced to re cognize the Sultan as his Suzerain. This suggestion is put forward be cause the Gazette thinks that all hope of carrying out the reform programme must be abandoned while there are Turkish troops in Herzegovina, and while the /forte is powerless or impotent to do any thing effectual. Without mention ing Austria’s well known opposi tion to any such plans, the Ga zette concludes by inviting Eng land to co-operate with Bussia for this purpose. < Two gentlemen, disputing about re ligion in a coffee house, one of them said, “I wonder, sir, you should talk of religion, when I’ll hold you five guineas you can’t say the Lord’s Prayer.” “Done,” said the other. The money being deposited, the gentleman began with “I believe in God,” and so went cleverly through the creed. “Well,” said the other, “I own I have lost ; I did not think he could have done it.” The glass dome of the Centennial art gallery will be lighted by 2,000 gas lets.

An lowa papi'i' invented as an appro priate leadline for the dispatch about tic meat slower in Keinueicy tins : “That Air Meat.” ‘T am busy plowing ami cannot stop to entertain company,” was tho sub stance of a note lliat an Illinois girl sent to a aentlcniiUi who desired so eall on tier. There is a good definition of a bad Word: “Where is hull?” asked a sootier of a Christian. “Anywheae outside of Heaven,” was tho ready and truthful answer. The mule candidate for tho Presi dency, which his iiamo is Bristow, is obstinately in the field. We have high authority for saying that the only way in which to keep a mule in a pasture is to put him in a meadow and let him jump out. And Bristow hasn’t got in to tile meadow. The Memphis Avalanche has n re markably accurate i lea of that prince of frauds, Eli Perkins. The Avalanche sa\s : ‘•Having heard that the Paris ians ate 800 jackasses last year, and ate hankering for more, Eli Perkins lias concluded to postpone his trip abroad till they change their diet.” An exquisite young gentleman of Co lumbus, while paying a call to a Indy, was asked how be liked a Certain belle with whom lie had recently become ac quainted. Said Mr. Exquisite : “I think her conversation is vety foolish.” “Ah, then, she adapts herself to her compa ny.” Slightly sarcastic. ‘‘Say, ma, wa’n’t England llie mother of ll)is country ?” “Yes, my son; you ought to know that.” “Well —-wa’u’i Geoige Washington its father ?” “Why, —y —yes, of course.” “Well, ma, wot I want to inquire is—” “You—you go right out and split that wood, George, oi Til inquire you.'’ An inquisitive but badly-posted Bri ton went down to visit Mount Vernon not long since, and after making many inquiries, and noting down the answers he said to the superintendent: “Ah!* may I ask it General Washington was in the barmy ? ’ “He was, sir,” re plied the superintendent, “And on which side, union or rebel V' “Rebel, sir," was the reply, which was carefully noted down. A French money lender complained to Baron Rothschild that a nobleman, to whom he had loaned ten thousand', francs, had gone off and le f t no ac knowledgment of the debt. “Write to him and ask him to send you immedi ately foe seventy thousand francs.” ‘ But lie only owes me tea thousand francs,” said the money lender. “Pro ciseiy," rejoined the Baron, “and he will write and tell you so, and you will thus get his acknowledgment.” Homely Maxims for Hard Times.— “Look well to the pennies.” Look wed to your spending. No matter what comes in, if more goes out you will be always poor. The art ts not iu making money, but in keeping ii. Lit tle rtepenses, like mice iri a barn, when they ore many, make great waste, flair by hair, heads get bald ; straw by straw the thatch goes off ihe cottage, and drop by drop the rain conies into the chamber. A barrel is soon empty, if the tap leaks but a drop a minute. When you mean to save, begin with your mouth ; many thieves may pass down the red lane. The ale fug is a great waste. In all other things keep within compass. Never stretch your legs further than your blankets will reach, or you will soon he cold. In clothes choose suitable and lasting stuff and not tawdry fineries. To be warm is the main thing never mind the looks. A fool may make money, but it needs a wise man to spend it. Remember, it is easier to build two chimneys thau to keep one going. If you give all to back and’board, there is nothing left for the savings bank. Fare hard and work hard when you are young, and you will have a chance to rest when you are old. Graveyard Ghouls. —The revolting frauds ill connection with the placing of head-stones over the soldiers’ graves in the national cemeteries is confirmed by Franklin Warren, of Cromwell, Conn., who, last year, had a sub-con tract for setting head-stones at the graves of Union soldiers in Louisiana. There were several thousand of them. He was to put up marble head-stones, six inches square and two and a half feet in length, setting them two feet in the ground. He used a la”ge auger like instrument to make the holes. He was given the lines ot the heads of graves by a government engineer. But he found that the graves were irregu lar, and in boring he frequently'struck coiliys and bodies or bones. They were just under the surface, not so deep as tie was required to dig. In striking these hones it was necessary to cut through them, and in this work he found that many of them were the legs of mules or parts ot mule carcasses. The contractors, who had received S2O per ho !y for burying the soldiers In regular order, had used the bones of mules, as well as those of the soldiers, to swe'l their income, and had made every mule go as far as possible, recei ving from the government, of course, S2O for each mule leg put into a coffin and buried. — Washington Special to the Springfield Republican.
