FARM.GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Where to Apply Wood Althea*
Tlie agricultural editor of the New
i ork II orlrl says: Wood ashes, among
the best of saline manures and also among
the most economical, are coming to be
more and more appreciated every year,
rarmens now, as a rule, husband every
pound made on the farm and buy them
whenever they can bo procured at a rea
sonable rate. The time has gone by for
exchanging ashes from good hard wood
for a few pounds of soap.
Leached ashes, while less valuable,
contain' al 1 the elements of the unleached,
having been deprived only of a part of
their potash and soda. Ashes benefit all
soils not already rich in the principles
they contain, and may be drilled in with
roots and grain, sown broadcast on
meadows or pastures, or mixed with the
muck heap.
The quantity of ashes to be applied to
the acre depends, as does that of ail fer
tilizers, on the character of the soil and
crop cultivated. Crops which exhaust
tin • salts, as potatoes, turnips and all roots,
clover, lucem, peas, beans and the
graces, are benefited by ashes. The
crops named thrive well under an appli
cation cf Ashes with bone-dust, and their
effects are also strengthened when mixed l
with gypsum. Light soils call for light !
dressings, say from ten to fourteen ;
bushels of unleached and twice that 1
quantity of leached ashes per acre. Rich j
lands or clays bear heavier dressings.
Repeated dressings of ashes like repeated !
dressings of lima or gypsum, without a ]
corresponding addition of vegetable or j
barnyard manures are not admissablc,
for they will eventually exhaust lands j
when applied alone. Where the entire j
surface of the soil is covered with vege- i
tabic growth either of the three materials |
mentioned acts with great effect. For !
this reason allies may be applied un- j
mixed with other fertilizers to meadow
lands for a longer time thau to any other '
crop.
In reply to questions asked at the El
mira (V V.) farmers’ club in regard to
the value of leached ashes and the best
manner of applying them to general crops,
a$ corn, wheat and oats, the following
information was gained: Leached ashes
vary so much in their character that no
precise estimate of their value can be
made. Heavy clay is liable to be in
juriously compacted by liberal dressings
of ashes, leached or unleached, unless
the land is sod, in which case ashes
spread on the surface tend to increase the
crop of grass. The safest and best use ot
leached ashes on most kinds of soil
is spreading them on old meadow
or old pasture. Working them
into land on which potatoes are to be
planted in the same season is also a good
way to use them, flood ashes make a
valuable dressing for.wheat land and for
corn, but the leached ashes are too un
certain in t Heir character to recommend
for such use.
< 'oaUftshcK are inferior in quality to
those from wood and vegetables, hut are
nevertheless of value and are to be ap
plied to the soil in a similar manner, as
they tend with their abundance of cin
ders to the mechanical division of soils,
foal ashes are beneficial to heavy rather
than light soils.
Farmers, in consideration of the above
facts, cannot be too strongly encouraged
to follow the practice of collecting and
reducing to ashes all the rubbish of the
farm not otherwise available, such as
brush, old wood, sods, rags—in fact
everything which cumbers the place as
useless matter. Burnt earth is not only
a manure in itself, but is most useful to
mix with artificial fertilizers which can
„not he easily distributed alone or too
strong to sow among seed unmixed with
ot her material.
Hi-niiii'ltitblr Army of A’ew Fruit*.
The year 187 h, it appears, lias been
render**il memorable to American porno*
legists by reason of the large number oi
new native fruits which were originated
or introduced during that time. The list
of peaches especially has been greatly in
creased. In a paper -read before the
Western New York Horticultural Society
by William C. Barry descriptions of
thirty peach seedlings never before de
scribed were enumerated as having come
to the notice of this well-known nursery
man, while many more were fruited
which are not yet made known to"the
public. According to Mr. Barry the
State of New York offers several candi
dates for jiopular favor. From the great
metmpolis even come two new varieties
which apparently possess many valua
ble qualities. Tn Western New York
there arc several seedlings which will
undoubtedly prove desirable. One of
them is believed to be the largest and
earliest of all the very early peaches.
Several excellent early and late varieties
have originated in Ohio. Passing over
a vast extent of country are found a
number of new kinds in Missouri, Kan
sas am! Nebraska. From Kansas comes
the information that the whole list of
early pearlies known to the public, so
far as fruited in Kansas in 18.8, is sur
passed both in earliness and size by at
least fifty new seedlings of Kansas origin,
many of which bore their first fruit that
year. At the South, too, many promis
ing new sorts are mentioned. Thus, as
if by magic, during the same year and in
various sections of country new peaches
have sprung up in such numbers as to
astonish and almost perplex the fruit
eulturist.
Touching upon the few new apples
brought to notice the past year, Mr.
Barry had a word to say about the Rus
sian apples which have caused more or
less discussion. Of the varieties under
trial for some time several have given
evidence of value, and while they can
hardly be compared in quality to our
best .tuples, still they are fair and will'
doubtless prove desirable in those locali
ties where only hardy varieties succeed.
What portion of the large number of
new strawberries introduced are worthy
of cultivation Mr. Barry thought it diffi
cult as yet to say. Another season’s ex
perience will be required before definite
and reliable information can he given
concerning many of them. Of a number
which have been well tested the Sharp
lew is given a prominent place, as are the
Cumberland, Triumph and Crescent
seedling. Among new raspberries the
Gregg was pronounced a decided im
provement on the older varieties of black
caps.— A etc York World.
Karly Corn
A eom'spond( , nt of I'iek's Magazine
gives the following directions for bring
ing corn to maturity early in the season,
addins' that lie picked corn Inst‘year in
side of sixty days from the time of plant
ini' : •• Let the conditions of tliesoil and
manure he the best you can command,
and aside from the frequent weeding and
hoeing, stirring the ground thoroughly,
thiu the stalks to three or four—three is
best if you would have the largest ears
and most of them. Pluck out most un
mercifully every sucker and non-bearing
stalk—that process alone will hasten
your corn a week or ten days, as I have
come to believe from experiment. 1
have added this year a top-dressing at
the hill, when the corn was well up—a
compost of one part plaster, two parts
ashes, and two parts tine manure, which,
1 think, has been a great advantage.’’
Those who wish early corn should not
ouiv have for seed what is called "an
early kind,” but they should obtain it
from as for north as possible. Sled
corn raised in Canada and taken south
will come to perfection one, two or three
weeks earlier than that ripened on the
spot. The reason is that the settl raised
i nit he north has adapted itself to a short
season. This is true, in a measure, of
all seeds.
Russia’s Awful Condition.
t famine in Russia is predicted by
Russian journals, l ast year about one
third of the crop was destroyed by hivtles
and marmots, so that the seed lias been,
deficient: and the cattle plague took off
nearly ninety per cent, of the cattle in
many places. To these things must be
added the extraordinary drought of the
jeist half year. Then in Russia then'are
too many holidays (about one hundred
in the year); -drunkenness is also a wide
spntid vice, whose wastefulness is jnvat
ly felt. Most of the land in Russia is
Under mortgage to .tankers, the proprie
tors an : hardly able to pay their interest,
and the arrears an l every when' about
twentv per cent. The grain, which is
the chief article of export, anil which
furnishes taxes and all supplies, is de
voured by parasites while growing, after
la'ing gathered, and on railroads. —Pall

TIMELY TOPICS.
One would hardly deem these strin
gent times when, upon scrutinizing the
report of thp commissioner of internal
revenue he learns that during the past
fiscal year no less than 1.905.063,000 cigars
were smoked, which at ten cents each
amounted in value to $190,506,300.
addition to this there was also consumed
25,312.438 pounds of tobacco of the ag
gregate value of $ 15.000,000.
The Clinton (Iowa) Jltrald says the
following is the way they hurt the feel
ings of the street loafers in that city:
Copies of the city ordinance forbidding
loafing or congregating on the streets,
printed in large type on eards, have
been bung in some of the corner win
dows with salutary effect. Once in a
while a fellow braces himself for a
square “loaf” before the window, and
as bis eye mechanically wanders over
the conspicuous warning card he sud
denly grows uneasy and soun has busi
ness down the street.
The bravery of a Roman stoic was dis
played by Police Judge Tilden, of Cleve
land, Ohio, when he tried his son for
stealing a coat from a juryman and
found him guilty. It was a trying
ordeal for the judge, and when he re
ferred to the sad spectacle of a father
prosecuting his own son he burst into
tears, while his powerful frame shook
with the violence of liis grief. It was a
mournful scene, and called for sympathy
for the .judge in his affliction, not less
than admiratiffti of his courage in thus
showing that love for his offspring could
not stand in the way of his duty to the
State.
: Mr. Horace White, English consul at
Tangiers, says: “In the contemporane
| ous account given by Jackson of the
| plague which depopulated Western Bar
| nary in 1799 and 1800, he states that a
Mogador, at his recommendation, many
persons had recourse to a remedy which
had proved most efficacious in Egypt—
namely, anointing the body with olive
oil, and he knew of no instance of its fail
ing when properly applied and sufficiently
persevered in.” During the outbreak of
the plague among the Egyptian troops at
Bey rout in 1836, the inhabitants of a cer
tain village attributed their escape from
disease to the fact that their clothes and
persons were generally well saturated
with oil.
There has been an extraordinary nat
ural phenomenon at Rappelsdorf, a vil
lage near Erfurt, a fortress in Prussian
Saxony. A lake near the hamlet sud
denly rose with a violent boiling move
ment and overflowed its banks. A vil
lager saw a column of boiling water rise
to a considerable height from the middle
of the lake, when it broke and was scat
tered in every direction. Oneunqestion
able fact is that during the sudden and.
unexplained rise of the water many per
sons beard subterraneous noises. "Deep
fissures opened all round the lake, from
which a sort of steam ascended. The
ground over which the water spread was
covered with small shells and dead fish.
Who wouldn’t take oysters on the
half-shell from the Broad river, S. C.?
A man in Beaufort was regaling him
self in this way in front of a counter in
an oyster saloon, when the luscious In
volve gritted so harshly under his teeth
that he was induced to find out the
cause. He ascertained that the mollusk
contained a mass of pearls, which upon
being counted turned out to be thirty
four in number, and of the size of a grape
seed, besides the one he unwittingly
swallowed. Thirty-four genuine pearls
the “ size of a grape seed, are a prize!
not to despised. But this is a world of
deceit, and there are as many supposi- '
titious pearls in it as genuine ones.
A singular instance of human!
credulity is reported from Munich. The !
actress, Adcle Spitzeder, who was sen
tenced there about six months ago to a
term of imprisonment for having swin- !
tiled the public out of many millions by
her banking institutions (the Dacliauer ;
Banken), conducted, as she asserted, for !
the furtherance of the interests of the
Roman Catholic religion, tried again,
after her liberation from prison, to earn
a living on tin* stage. Finding that this
could not be done, she Inis returned' to
Munich and again opened a bank. De
posits, on which she pays eight per cent, i
montly interest, are brought to her in |
abundance, and, of course, another catas
trophe will occur.
The editor of London Truth believes
Unit land in England is diminishing in
value for agricultural purposes, and gives
his reason thus: The reason why land in
England must become less and less valua
ble for agricultural purposes is that rapid
communication is destroying distances,
and the cost of the transit of corn from
California and other places where it can
he produced on plains that pay no rent
and that require no “ high fanning,” is
every year diminishing, and every year
will still further diminish. The reply
for long was, “ Yes, but land will always
be valuable for grazing purposes.” I
doubt this. The importations both of
live stock and of dead meat are assuming
enormous proportions.
A correspondent of the Burlington
Ilawkcuc tells a rather sensational story
of an alleged discovery of the artificial
nnftiufaeture of silver by Dr. T. Farriss,
Jr., of the lowa Wesleyan university,
which carries one back to the days of
the old alchemists. Dr. Farriss, it
seems, when taking his class through a
ourse of instruction in the primary
ehenijeal compounds, was in the habi't
of setting aside the refuse waters, and
one day was startled by the unusual
silvery reaction which liad taken place
in these solutions. This led him to in
vestigate. Result—the artificial manu
facture of silver, a business on which the
doctor is said to have entered now on a
large scale. Of course, details of the
nexv process are kept rigidly secret from
the scientific world, though credulous
capitalists may he attracted bv the glit
tering prospects, .just as they have been
in the past by other impossibilities.
The late ameer of Afghanistan was uni
versally called the “ madman ” through
out his dominions, and so great w%s the
awe in which he was held bv his sub

troops on the l’eiwar Khotal by the Eng

On the 14th of March, 1878, Mr.
Grattan Geary left Bombay for the Per
sian gulf, witn the intention of travers
ing the sultan's dominions, and learning
for himself the actual condition of af
fairs resulting from the Turkish system
of government, complicated by the with
drawal of Turkish garrisons from Asia
Minor and the defeat of the Turkish
armies in Europe. Traveling by him
self, and- over routes seldom traversed
except by large parties well protected,
lie saw and conversed with people of
various races and ranks. TTie chief
dangers to which he was exposed were
the plundering Arabs and Kurds, whom
the absence of the regular troops embold
ened to rob and terrorize all the country
outside the principal towns.
At Muscat, the capital of Oman, in
Arabia, he found a city with streets so
narrow that no four-footed animasl
larger than cats or dogs could pass
through them, notwithstanding that the
place has 40,000 inhabitants and a con
siderable trade. The bazaars are cov
ered over, and are thronged with Be
douins fresh from the desert. All were
armed to the teeth. A favorite weapon is a
straight, two-handed sword, the sweep
of which would take off a man’s thigh,
rhe swordsman carried over their
shoulders small, round shields of rhi
noceros hide. Half a century ago a small
number of the “ Beni Bou Ali ■’ were at
sacked by an English officer and 350
troops, when the Bedouins rushed upon
their assailants, and cut down 200 of
them in the twinkle of an eye. This led
to a large expedition being sent from
Bombay, which succeeded in defeating
the swordsmen. The British resident at
Muscat has a finger very often in local
insurrections, and summons a warship
now and then to the aid of the inxaum ,
or governor. Not many years ago the
gunboat Teaser fired over’the town at a
crowd of Bedouins who had taken a
position on the hills near the city, with
the intention of sacking it. The Arabs
said the shells had eyes, and could see
where to fall, since they were out of
view of Uie ship behind the hills. A
shell fell m a field and did not explode,
whereupon it was surrounded by the
Bedouins, one of whom struck its per
cussion cap with a spear, being de
termined to put out its “ eye,” the eye
by which it had seen its way to their
position. Eleven of their tribe paid the
penalty for this singular piece of vindic
tiveness. Two forts, called Jalali or the
Glorious, .and Mirani, the name of a
Biluchee governor, protect the roadstead.
At times these forts are on bad terms,
and blaze away at each other across the
harbor and in front of the town, to the
great detriment of business. Fort Jalali
not long ago fired on the town promis
cuously until brought to reason by an
English gunboat. Oman means security
or settled peace.

Moving Day.
“Moving day, with all its attendant
horrors, is at hand,” said James, yester
day evening, “ and I don’t see how I am
ever to get through with it. It brings
nothing but work, work, work.”
“Why, yes,” replied Grandfather
Lickshingle, “it is a terrible day for us
poor men folks, and no mistake. Seein’
as how this dre’ful day has rolled around
an’ battered me over the bald an’ beet
ling pate upward of a hundred times, I
ought to know a little somethin’ about
it. Work! Well, I should say so. Git
up in the mornin’ before breakfast, sit
around till it’s ready, then eat an’ off
down town after a wagon. And right
here I want to say that thettandin’ pre
mium of a million dollars in gold offered
by the United States government to the
man that finds a wagon when he wants
it has never been claimed. No mortal
man ever finds a wagon without hoofin’
’round a whole square, an’ jest this kind
of work is knocking years and years of
usefulness out of some of our best young
men. Well, after the doggoned wagon
is found, you must give the driver your
old as well as your new address, as the
papers say, and that’s enough to break
any ordinary man’s back. By this time
you’re pretty well fagged out, an’ you
send the wagon.to the house, while you
go off down town about your business,
an’ your wife finishes up whatever little
odds an’ ends there may be to do about

The English Language.
Mr. John Albee lectured in New York
on the English language. The transla
tion of the Bible by King Janies’trans
lators and the writings of the Elizabethan
dramatists were the most powerful ini
fluences, Mr. Albee thought, in mould
ing and fixing the language. It was for
tunate that the Bible had been trans
lated when tlie best style of language—
that of tlie great dramatists —was in
vogue. The translators, too, had- been
inspired, and inspiration found voice,
beauty and vigor in the simplest ex
pressions. The Bible, then, had met the
necessities of those who objected to parts
of tlie drama. “ Note the difference,”
said the lecturer, in conclusion, “be
tween the unaffected simplicity and
power of tlie writings of those times with
the obscure, affected style of to-day.
Notv we do not ask but inquire; a wo
man is a female; a father a paternal rela
tive ; we do not give but donate; we
never go, begin, cat, get, but proceed,
commence, partake, receive; when
younger we had rooms, but now apart
ments ; then there were singers, notv
vocalists; and it is pleasant■ to believe
that no one now gets drunk, but intoxi
cated. See the contrast, In the Bible,
the most thrilling and best written of all
books, ninety-six per cent, of tlie words
are Anglo-Saxon : in Shakespeare,eighty
six per cent.; and in Tennyson’s ‘Ar
thur,’ 3,000 of the 3,500 words arc mono
syllables. Aud so the rank of all writers
of fame unquestioned is graded by the
proper use of more or less of the Saxon
language. The union of powerful
thought and perfect words is like the
clearest water in the clearest glass: the
water and the glass seem but one sub
stance.

The Physical Paradox.
It lias been'said that “ the blood is the source
of life.” It is as truly the source of disease and
death. No life, that is to say, no healthy tis
sue can be generated from impure blood, no
organ of the body can normally perform its
functions when supplied with impure blood.
The fluid that should carry life and health to
every part carries only weakness and disease.
Blood is the source ot life only when it is pure.
If it has become diseased, it must be cleansed
by proper medication, else every pulsation of
the human heart sends a wave ot disease
through the system. To cleanse the blood ol
all impurities, use Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets, the
most effectual alterative, tonic and cathartic
remedies yet discovered. They are especially
efficient in scrofulous diseases.
Everythin* Goes W ions
In the bodily mechanism when the liver gets
out of order. Constipation, dyspepsia, contami
nation of the blood, impelled assimilation, are
certain to ensue. But it is easy to prevent
these consequences, and remove their cause, by
a course of Hostotter’s Stomach Bitters, which
stimulates the biliary organ and regulate* its
action. The direct result is a disappearance of
the pains beneath the ribs and through the ,
shoulder blade, the nausea, headaches, yellow
ness of the skin, furred h>ok of the tongue, npd i
sour odor of the breath, which characterize lively’
complaint. Sound digestion and a regular
habit of body are blessings also secured by the
use of this celebrated restorative of health,
which imparts a degree of vigor to the body
which is its bear guarantee of salety lrom rna
lariid epidemics. Nerve weakness and over
tension are relieved by it. and it improves both
appetite and sleep.
When neglectful of the duty assigned to it by
nature. that of secreting the bile, the liver
should be disciplined with Dr. Mott's Vegeta
ble liver Pills, which will speedily remedy its
inaction aud stimulate it to vigorous perform
ance of its secretive function. Constipation,
which is an invariable accompaniment ol liver
disorder, is always overcome by this great anti
bilions cathartic, and .indigestion, chronic and
acute, is completely cured by it. All druggists
sell it.

. Restless Nights.
Some persons “ toss and tumble ” half
the night and get up in the morning
weary, unrefreshed and dispirited, whob
y Pitlier in body or mind, for the
duties of the day; they are not only in
capacitated for business, hut are often
rendered so ungracious in their manners,
so irritable and fretful, as to spread a
gloom and a cloud over the whole house
hold. to be able to go to bed and be in
a sound, delicious sleep, an unconscious
neliciousness, irtfive minutes, but enjoyed
in its remembrance, is a great happiness,
al v, blessing, and one for
which the most sincere and affectionate
thanks should habitually go up to that
beneficent Providence which vouchsafes
the same through the instrumentalities
ol a wise and self-denying attention to
the laws of our being.
Restless nights as to persons in ap
parent good health, arise chiefly from,
first, an overloaded stomach; second,
from worldly, care; third, from want of
muscular activities proportioned to the
needs of the system. Few will have
restless nights who take dinner at mid
day, and nothing after that except a piece
of cold bread and butter and a cup or
two of some hot drink; any thing beyond
that, as cake, pie, chipped beef, dough
nuts and the like, only tempt nature to
eat when there is really no call for it,
thus engendering dyspepsia and all its
train of evils.
Worldly care. For those who cannot
sleep from the unsatisfactory condition of
their affairs; or that they are about to
encounter great losses, whether from their
own remissness, the perfidy of friends, or
unavoidable circumstances, we have a
deep and sincere sympathy. To such we
say, live hopefully for better days ahead,
and meanwhile strive diligently, per
sistently, and with a brave heart to that
end.
But the more common cause of restless
nights is, that exercise has not been
taken to make the body tired enough to
demand sleep. Few will fail to sleep
soundly jf. tl* whole of daylight, or as
much thereof as will produce moderate
fatigue, is spent in steady work in the
open air, or on horseback, or on foot.
Many spoil all their sleep 'by attempting
to force more on nature than she requires.
Few persons will fail to sleep soundly,
while they do sleep, if they avoid sleep
ing in the daytime, will go to bed at a
regular hour, and heroically resolve to
get up the moment they wake, whether
it is at two, four, or six o’clock in the
morning. In less than a week each one
will find how much sleep his system re
quires; thereaftef give it that, and no
more.— Hall's Journal of Health.
The Milky Way.
The milky way forms the grandest
feature of the firmament. It completely
encircles the whole fabric of the skies,
and sends its light down upon us, accord
ing to the best observations, from no less
than 18,000,000 of suns. These are planted
at various distances, too remote to be
more than little understood; but their
light, the medium of measurement, re
quires for its transit to our earth periods
ranging from ten to 1,000 years, such is
the sum of the great truths revealed to us
by the two Herschels, who, with a zeal
which no obstacle could daunt, have ex
plored every part of the prodigious circle.
Sir William Herschel, after accomplish
ing his famous section, believed that he
had gauged the milky way to its lowest
depths, affirming that he could follow a
cluster of stars with his telescope, con
structed expressly for the investigation?
as far back as would require 330,000 years
for the transit of light. But, presump
tuous as it may seem, we must be per
mitted to dorffct this assertion, as the
same telescope in the same masterhand
was not sufficiently powerful to resolve
even the nebul.se in Orion. Nor must we
forget that light, our only clew to those
unseai'ehable regions, expands and de
composes in its progress, aijd, coming
from a point so remote, its radiant waves
could he dispersed in space. Thus the
reflection is forced upon us that new
clusters and systems, whose beaming
light will never reach our earth, still
throng beyond, and that, though it is
permitted to man to behold the immens
ty he shall never see the bounds of crea
