•Grinding Rocks at the Guano Reds and j
Selling the Sand for a Fertilizer.
(From the Philadelphia Timeß.)
'Sir. A. L. Phillips, one of the offi
cers of the Riceborongh grange, in
Newport, Bucks county, was coil mis
sioned by his grange, a few weeks
ago, to purchase twenty tons of
■Peruvian guano for the use of its
members. Mr. Phillips came to Phil
adelphia and ordered the guano
•through a commission house, who
bought it direct from Hobson, Hor
nando & Cos., the agents of the Peru
vian government in New York. The
guano reached Mr. Phillips in the
original packages, not having been
opeued or handled by the commission
house. In Newport, it was bought by
the grangers, Mr. Phillips keeping
only a few bags for his own use.
When he opened the bags and began
to spread if over his land he noticed
that it was lumpy, and apparently
•contained sand and gravel. So he
•measured out a half pound and wash
ed it carefully. The guano dissolves
in water, but in the bottom of the
pan was a heavy sediment, which,
'when separated and dried, proved to
he coarse browr sand and fine gravel.
This sediment was sent to the agency
•of tlie New Jersey State Grange, at
102 Arch street, yesterday, and on
a druggist’s scales it weighed one and
a half ounces, or 15 per cent, of the
guano, for which the grange paid
$55 a ton. The sediment is of course
useless as a manure, being just such
sand as any farmer can find on his
land; and iu the same ratio purchas
ers of a ton of guano at $55 pay $25
'for brown sand and gravel. The cap
•tain of a schooner running from this
port to the Peruvian islands for guano
wrote to a friend a short time ago
’that when he reached the islands he
was afraid to load his vessel, the adul
teration being so great that he feared
he could not get enough for the gu
auo to pay for transportation. A stone
breaker had been put up near the
: guano beds, be said, and it was evi
•dent for what purpose the stand was
used. He sailed to another island
! fifty miles away, and there he found
the adulteration even worse; so he
<came home without any load. “A
few years ago,” said an old farmer to
a Times reporter, yesterday, “we
•could not sow more than two hundred
•pounds of guano to the acre, for it
would make the grain so heavy and
thick that it would break and tangle.
But now a man can sow half a ton to
the acre, and he don’t get a much
better crop than if lie didn’t sow any
at all. It’s all owing to the adulter
ntiop. I bought a hundred and fif
teen dollars worth of guano last year,
and it did not do me a hundred ana
fifteen cents worth of good. This
.year it seems to be worse than ever,
and I think it is getting poorer every
year. Last year tlmy charged eighty
• dollars a ton, iu gold, for it. This
spring they made a great fuss about
reducing the price, and now we buy it
for fifty-five dollars a ton, in currency.
But it has been reduced in quality
as much as in price. We farmers lose
not only what we pay for the worth
less sand, but we lose the value of the
crops that we would raise if we used
good fertilizers.”
She was an elderly lady, and as
she seated herself on one of the stools
in Wiilluch’s store and asked to be
shown some “caliker,” she remarked
that when she was a “gal” she
thought she was powerful lucky if she
got sixteen yards in a dress, and she
thought it a “singful” waste of stuff
•■?) put in more; but she had just
“heern” that Mrs. X. was agoiu’ to
hev forty-two yards ill her new cali
ker, and she hoped that there might
be a cloud burst in seventeen uiiniit o
if that air woman should stare round
at her iu church and make remrxTs
about her clothes. “You kin jist cut
me off forty-three yards, and I’ll have
it made pin-back fashion, with an over
dress and a mainsal, and Ilyin jib and
a back-action; then I’d jist like to see
that stuck-up Mi's. X. put on airs
over me.”
She Got the Dress.
[Viel'Bburg Herald. ]
One day not long ago an old chap
from the interior, accompanied by his
wife, entered a Nicksburg dry goods
store, and after looking around for a
moment said to the clerk:
“Pile yer best kaliker down here
afore me, for Mirandy wants a dress.”
As the pieces were tumbled down
he continued:
“Mirandy’s been purty good this
summer, and she can have her pick of
the best kaliker in the store.”
The old man felt of the different
pieces, and his wife tossed them over,
and finally they settled on a particu
lar piece, and he said:
“Cut her off nine ysrds o’ that.”
“What! Nine yards 1” echoed the
wife.
“I can’t get a kaliker dress with a
loop-up behind to it out’n nine
yards !”
“Who said anything about loops?"
he inquired. “Haven't you always
got a kaliker dress out’u nine
yards ?”
“Yes, but the fashion has changed.
I’ve got to have fourteen yards now.”
“Have, eh ! I’d like to see myself
buying any fourteen yards !”
“Then you wou’t ?”
“Not if I die for it 1”
“You are an old miser!” she hotly
exclaimed.
“Don’t fool with the alligator - , Mir
andy !” he warned.
“Oh, I guess you’d better buy her
the dress,” put in the clerk, hoping to
make peace.
“Dam’f I do!” growled the man.
Tlie woman walked down the store,
looked into the back yard, and turned
and called out:
“Come here a minute, William.”
“What yer want ?" he inquired.
‘ Come here, darling, I wan’t to
whisper to you,” she continued.
He followed her out among the
boxes. Her face wore a smile, and
be suspected nothing. When he was
clear of the door she turned and seiz
ing him by the windpipe, rushed him
backwards, and Hopped him over a
pile of boxes.
“Mirandy, I’ll pound blazes out’u
you for this,” hoarsely whispered the
man.
“William, it don't lay iu your back
bone !” she replied.
“Take that!” he gasped trying to
kick her.
He made a heavy struggle, but she
clung to bis throat, and flopped him
as ol'iea as he partially rose. After
realizing i Hat he was foul, he faintly
inquired:
‘Mintidy, what’s yer object?”
“A kaliker dress!” she promptly
responded.
“Nine yards?” he asked.
“Plump fourteen !” she responded.
“Hay twelve, Mirandy.”
“Straight fourteen and no goug
ing !” she answered.
He made a grand effort to throw
her off, but she banged him down and
landed a blow on his nose in addi
tion.
“Mirandy,” he gasped.
“Well, William ?”
“Tell that you.'g man to cut off
that kaliker.”
“That’s right William; that’s put
ty !” she said, loosening her grip
and extending her hand.
“You won’t say anything, Miran
dy ?”
“Not a whoop.”
He scrambled over fhe back fence,
and she went in and had the full
nuiubei of yards cut off. When ready
to go the ohl man was at the door
with the mules, a shade of sadness
upon his brow, blit still willing to ad
mit to tbe clerk:
“Mirandy took me by surprise, but
it’s all rigid; charge that kaliker to
rov account.”
John Chinaman Gives llis Views on
Politics. —Probably the most curious
pair of human beings that have yet
bee a seen at the Exposition witness
ed tlie show on Monday night. They
were Chinamen, clad in flowing robes
and sandals, with the inevitable pig
tail done up in a double bow-not at
the back of their heads. A represen
tative of the Trade List, after follow
ing them around for some time, came
up to them while they were at a stand
still on the bridge in Floral Hall.
The following valuable and iutei
estiog conversation took place:
Reporter—Hey John. What do
you think of the show ?
(Chinaman grins and shows his
teeth.)
Reporter (in a louder voice) —I
say, John, it’s a big show, isn’t it ?
C'liuaman—Chow Hi likee Melican
man show heap big.
Reporter—Good for yon, Chow Hi.
Did you ever see anything as big as
this in China ?
Chinaman —Chow Hi likee Melican
man show. Chow Hi likee Melican
man Billallen. Melicau man dollee
heap good Chinaman. Billallen brick.
He makee more dollee.
Reporter —Well, what’s this got to

Votee six times Billallen. He heap
great man. Makee dollee plenty rice.

Billallen.
And as Chow Hi began to unwring
his pigtail at this interesting juncture
and indulge iu a series of evolutions
(hat were strikingly suggestive of fa
miliarity with the sports of the prize
ring, the reporter concluded that it
was wrong to further molest the son

How a Snake Charmed a Boy.
[From the Reading Eagle.
For the last two weeks a son of Al
len Rogers, aged eleven years, a wood
cutter on the Blue Mountains, about
three miles from Hamburg, has been
in tbe habit of leaving his father’s
house every morning about 9 o’clock,
and not returning till noon. The pa
rents of tho boy have questioned him
several times as to where lie went, and
tho boy would reply, to play with a
neighboring boy named Springer. On
Friday last the father watched his
son, and followed at a short distance,
and when about a half mile from the
house, the boy entered a piece of
thick sprout laud, in from tho road
some two hundred yards, where he
seated himself upon a large rock, and
in less than ten minutes the father
was horrified on seeing a monster
black snake crawl upon the rock and
put its head on the boy’s lap. Tlie
father states that the snake was the
largest he ever saw on the hills. He
states that it was easily fifteen feet
long, and as thick as his arm, which
is well developed. The boy had taken
bread with him, and was feeding the
snake, which at intervals would s! : ck
a large tongue out as if hissing for
more to eat. Then it would coil it
self around tho neck and body of the
boy, and play with its mouth and
neck with the boy’s bands. The fath
er had often heard of snakes charm
ing children, and that if they were
disturbed while in the act, they would
kill the child.
As the father turned to leave his
boy with his deadly companion, he
turned hack, and the snake hearing a
noise, at once uncoiled itself and rais
ed its body at least four feet from the
rock and looked in all directions, and
then it returned to the boy’s lap, and
the father returned home and await
ed the boy’s return, which was, as us
ual, at noon. When told that he had
been playing with the snake, the boy
said the first morning be met the
snake he liked to plav with it;
then he look it food, and he was so
much pleased with his companion that
something iold him that he must meet
the snake every morning. One morn
ing he said he was late, and when he
reached the place the snake was
standing up, and it came out to meet
him, then followed him to the rock.
There is something very strange
about a snake charming not only
children, but I have read of adults
coming under their charm. There is
certainly some truth in the fascinat
ing poweis of snakes.
Oa Saturday morning tho father
and two of his neighbors went to the
place with guns, and at the usual time
the snake made its appearance when
all filed at one time, killing the
charmer.
CheattnO an Innocent Old Man.—
One day last month when trade j
was dull a Vicksburg grocery clerk |
procured a piece of sole leather from !
a shoemaker, painted it black, and :
laid it aside for future use. Williin a ;
few days an old chap from back in j
the country came in and inquired for j
a plug of chewing tobacco. The!
piece of sole leather was tied up, paid
for, and the purchaser started for
home. At tbe end of tho sixth day
he returned, looking downcast and
dejected, and walking into tlie store
be inquired of the clerk:
“ ’Member that terbacker I got
here the other day.”
“Yes.”
“Well, was that anew brand ?”
“No—same old brand.”
“Regular plug terbacker, was it ?”
“Yes.”
“Well, then, it’s me; it’s right here
in my jaws,” sadly replied the man.
“I knowed I was gittin party old, hut
I was alius handy on bitin plug. I
never seed a plug afore this one that
I couldn’t tear to pieces at oue cliaw.
I sot my teeth on to this one, and bit
and pulled and twisted like a dog at
a root, and I’ve kept biting and pull
ing for six days, and thar slie am
now, the same as the day you sold her
to me.”
“Seems to be good plug,” remark
ed tbe clerk, as he smelled of the
counterfeit.
“She’s all right; it’s me that’s fail
ing !” exclaimed the old man. “Pass
me out some finecut, and I'll go home
and deed the farm to the boys, aud
git ready for the grave !”—Vicksburg

STONEWALL JACKSON.
England Presents Virginia a Statue of
the Hero.
Richmond, Va., September 23. Fo
ley’s statue of General Stonewall
Jackson, presented to Virginia by
Hon. Beresford Hope, M. P., and oth
er English gentlemen, which arrived
here last evening from Baltimore, was
formally received to-day by Governor
Kemper. The people turned out en
masse to witness the reception, the
streets presenting a holliday appear
ance. At 3:30 p. m. the first regiment
of Virginia Volunteers and the vet
erans of the old First Virginia, and
tho Richmond Howitzers proceeded
to the wharfs of the Fowhattan steam
boat Company where the case con
taining the statue awaited transporta
tion to the Capitol. It bad been
placed upon a wagon and was cover- j
ed with flags of Great Britain and i
Virginia. Long ropes were attached
to the wagon and at the word of com
mand tho veterans of tho Old First,
together with a largo number of citi- i
zens took hold, and, with a portion
of the present first regiment at the
bead of tho column, took up the line
of march, the remainder of the regi
ment and Ilowitizers bringing up the
rear.
Upon reaching the Capitol square,
the wagon was drawn to the foot of
the steps of the Capitol, where Col.
Bradley T. Johnson, commandant of j
the first, formally delivered the stat
ue to Governor Kemper in a brief
speech, referring iu feeling terms to
the time, twelve years ago, when he
commanded the funeral escort of the
true and gallant soldier who was now
being honored by the people of Great
Britain.
Gov. Kemper responded, receiving j
(lie statue iu tho name of the people
of Virginia, and thanking the soldiers
and citizens for the spontaneous hon
or which had been done to as true a
patriot as ever trod the earth. In do
ing this they had done much also to
testify the gratitude of fhe Virginians
to the noble friends on the other side ,
of the world, who had sent this great :
tribute of admiration and sympathy
from the old world to the new- —from
Great Britain to Virgiuia. Gov.
Kemper, in the name of Virginia, took
passession of the gift, receiving it not
more as a great sculptor's work of art
than a work of English affection for
Virginia and her immortal son.
In response to loud calls from tbe
immense throng present, Mayor Kee
lj’ also made a beautiful and stirring
speech. Tho case was then placed iu
the basement of the Capitol, where i.
will remain until the pedestal being
prepared iu Capitol square is ready.
The statue will be unveiled during
the latter part of October, during the
State Fair week.
The Sort of Revival That is Needed.
[From Dr. Cuyler’s article in the Inde
pendent.]
The revival we need is not only a
revival of sounder scriptural preach
ing, but a revival of true Christian
living. We have had quite a surfeit
of the religion which luxuriates in the
devout fervors of the prayer meetings
and the camp ground, which siugs
sweet hymns and applauds sweet ser
mons and then goes straight off to
its money-grasping and its pleasure
seeking, and its panderings to self
aud sin. God forbid that we speak
lightly of true spiritual emotion. But
the Christianity which Christ de
mands is something deeper than a
~oug or a sermon or a sacrament It,
is the holy and humble imitation of
Himself.
The revival, then, which we need is
a revival of tbe religion which keeps
God’s commandments; which tells the
truth and sticks to its promises;
which pays twenty shillings to the
pound ;which cares more for a good
character than n flue coat; which
votes at tho ballot box in the same di
rection that it prays; which denies
ungodly lusts, aud which can be
trusted iu every stress of temptation.
A revival which will sweeten our
homes and chasten our press acd pu
rify our politics and cleanse our bus
iness and commerce from roguery
and rottonness would be a boon from
heaven. A revival which will bring
not only a Bible knowledge but Bible
conscience to all is what the land is
dying for. The world’s sorest want
to-day is more Christ-like men and
women. The preaching it needs—is
more sermons in shoes.
Tubtle-ology.— Mr. M. A. Parsons
and his son Everett some time iu (he
spring captured a turtle which con
tamed fifty-four eggs. These eggs
were carefully hurried iu the sand, in
a secure spot, and a few weeks ago
hatched out, fifty little turtles. These
were placed iu a large tub, partly
filled with water and mud. Every
cool night tho little ones bury them
selves in the mud, but in the morning
as soon as Master Everett appears
with his minnows to feed them, they
promptly make their appearance and
eat with avidity. —Satisourg ( Md ) Ad

A Woman's First Bean.
You knew tho girl of long ngo when
she had her first beau at once by her
general appearance, says a writer in
the Rochester Chronicle, and tho man
ner in which she smiled, and the gig
gle she giggled, and the way that she
talked, that this was the first time
she ever had a bean. She was in
fact very much excited; and liken
person stricken with the first shock
of numb palsy, didn’t know exactly
how to use her tongue. The blood
rushed to her head until there was a
tremendous buzzing in her ears, and
she recognized all her acquaintances,
old and young, and called them by
namo iu a loud tone of voice, and
wore at the very same time a very
triumphant expression of countenance
It was a moment of intense eestaey
(to her) —a moment looked and long
ed for ever since she got into her
teens: and all the heroes and hero
esses of all the dime novels she had
ever road went trooping across her
mind like a row of bees in swarming
time. Apples and peaches, and hol
lyhocks, and mush rooms, and pum
kins, and hedge fence, as they hung
on trees, or blossomed on stalks, or
grew in the grass, or tore her new
dress as she swept by them, borne al
most from her feet by an electric
force, all passed on an accessory pan
orama of bliss on her way to the cir
cus, that glorious, grand, never-to-be
forgotten noonday of her experience.
Did she enjoy the show ? Did she
remember how the elephant stood on
his hind feet? Did she follow tlie
flight of the great, unsurpassed, un
rivaled wonderful, astonishing, most j
daring horseback rider in tbe world,
as he dived in a doubled up way
through two hoops, and alighted on
the horse again right side up ? Was
the music the most delightful she had
ever heard ? Of course ! Eut seme
liow these things got all mixed up in
one glorious whirl of delight, in the
one glorious fact that she had a beau
—a nice beau in black cloth, and a
red nectie, and ft stove-pipe hat, and
who smoked ft cigar, and bought pea
nuts and candy and lemonade every
time the man who sold it came around
and whispered his goods so softly
that the noise of the band and the
best ten year old joke of the clown
was drowned out of hearing entirely.
O, how her little heart went pit-a-pat,
and thvobbyty-throp, and bobbyty
bob on her way home that glorious
afternoon.
Extent of the Universe.
Since the beginning of this ceu- j
tury, our idea of the universe has un
dergone a complete metamorphosis,
though but few persons appear to
recognize the fact.
Less than a century ago, the savans
who admitted the earth’s motion
(some still rejected it) pictured to
themselves the system of the universe
as being bounded by tho frontier of j
Saturn’s orbit, at a distance from the
central sun equal to 109,000 times
diameter of the earth, or about 800,
000,000 of miles. The stars were
fixed, spherically disributed, at a dis
tance but a little greater than that of
Saturn. Beyond this limit a vacant
space was supposed to surround
the universe. Tlie discovery of Ura
nus in 1875, did away at once with
the belt, consisting of Satprn’s orbit,
and the frontier of solar domination
was pushed out to a distance of 1,900,
000,000 miles from tho center of the
system, that is to say, beyond the
space that was vaguely supposed to
be occupied by the stars. The dis
covery of Neptune, in 184(5, again re
moved these limits to a distance that
would have appalled our fathers, the
orbit described by this planet being
2,862,000,000 miles from tbe sun.
But the attractive force of tho sun
exists still. Beyond the orbit of
Uranus, beyond the dark rout slowly
traversed by Neptune, the frigid
wastes of space are traveled over by
the comets in their ernt.ic courses.
Of these, some being controled by the
sun, do not leap from system to sys
tem, but move in close curves,
though at a distance far greater than
those of Neptune and Uranus. Thus
Halley’s comet recedes to a distance
of over 3,200,000,000 miles from the
i sun ; the comet of 1711,36,000,000,-
| 000, and that of 1860, 75,000,000,000.
! The period of the last named comets
is 8,800 years. —Popular Sviece Month

An Elephant Story. — Tell my
grand-children that an elephant had
disease in his eyes. For three days
he had been completely blind. His
owner, an engineer officer, asked my
dear Dr. Webb if he could do any
thing to relieve the poor animal. The
doctor said ho would try the nitrate
of silver, which was a remedy com
monly applied to similar diseases iu
the human eye. Tbe large animal
was ordered to lie down, aud at first,
on the application of tbe remedy,
raised a most extraordinary roar at
the acute pain which it occasioned.
The effect, however, was wonderful.
The eye was in a manner restored,
and the animal could partially see.
The next day, when he was brought
and heard the doctor’s voice, he lay
down of himself, placed bis enor
mous head on one side, curled up his
Bunk, drew in bis breath, just like a
man about to endure an operation,
gave a sigh of relief when it was over,
and then, by his trunk and gesture,
evidently wished to express his grat
itude.— Letter from Bishop Wilson.
