a bill providing that any person who iu-
oloses an acreage of publio lands to which
he has no title shall be liable to a fine el
$100 a day for the time such inclosure is
maintained, and any person who ob
structs the passage of another over or

The Mormon church now embrace's a
President, twelve apostles, fifty-eight
patriarchs, 8,886 sentinels, 3,163 high
priests, 11,000 choirs, 1,600 bishops, and
4,400 deacons. In Arizona there is •
member.-hip of 2,202; in Idaho twice a*
many, and missionaries are at work all
over Europe and the United States. The
time appears to be coming whon the
Gentiles will have to hide their women

The manufacture of paper palp into a
substitute for wood is attracting favorable
»Mention. It Is believed that it will
prove much cheaper than wood, equally
as durable and fully as good for fine
work. The paper board will tako the
finest polish, os well as any tint, shad*
or color. It may l>e made water-proof,
snd can be marbleizod and grained. In
the const motion of buildings as roofing
material, in making bridal caskets or for
fnrniture purposes it is believed that pa
per lumbar will, ere long, come into gen
eral use.

416,740 ponnds, which sold for 27 cents
a pound, bringing the owner $212,349.80,
a olear profit of over $80,000. Even tula
was a low yield. Four men keep the
ranch in order during the year, but in
■hearing time an additional 'force is, of
oourse, necessary, A shearer ia paid five

Kbttpp, the famous manufacturer of
heavy ordnance, claims that he has sent
forth more than 20,000 of his terrible
engines of war. His pre-eminence ia dne
to the faot that he first substituted steel
for iron in the manufacture of heavy
guns. He was also one of the first to per
ceive that breach loading oannon would
completely take the p'ace of mnzzle
loaders. Krupp’s guns have been sold to
every country except England and the
United States. At present Italy and
China are his beet customers. His largest
gun is over fifty-five feet in length,
and it is said that not a single part of it
oould be made in Amerioa, as we have
no means of hammering or working such
enormous masses of metaL
Fuom all accounts the synchronous
multiple telegraph system is destined to
inaugurate a marvelous revolution in
telegraphy. It is claimed that a syn-
chroninm has been obtained between
distant rotating systems so absolute as to
secure their rotation for weeks at a time
without a variation between the two of
1-600 of a second. The application of
this principle will divide an ordinary tele
graph wire into a number of electric cir
cuits, each of which is entirely indepen
dent of the others. The inventor of this
system is Patrick H. Delaney, a New
Yorker, of Irish descent The principle
carried out in his system is capable of in
finite possibilities. It renders certain the
practicability of telegraphing by sound,
«nd it is possible that the transfer of ob
jects photographically by telegraph may
l.e realized.

Evert new publication of statistics re
lating to our foreign commerce shows
that our ocean-carrying trade is ■ owly
approaching the vanishing point. Mr.
Nimroo shows an his auUnal report that
during the last fiscal year the tonnage of.
Amerioan vessels entering at our porta
was less by nearly 134,000 tons than the
year before. The Chamber of Commerce
report shows that of our total foreign
commerce only about one-sixth is carried
on by American vessels, while fully flve-
ftixths gives employment to the vessels of
other countries. Since 1866, the propor
tion of tonnage of American vessels
trading with American ports has dwindled
from 71* per cent, to about 30 per conk
while tXatof foreign vessels has increased
to nearly 88 per cen t Of oourse the de
cay of ship-building has kept pace with
the decline in thxuMjLffBaeriGan ships.
Lust year we hnflttiiftykboat forty thou
sand tons of iron ships, largely for the
protected ooast trade,'while in Great
Britain more than six Imadrsd and fifty
‘housand tons were built.
The first attempt to cultivate cranlier-
ries in this country was marie in 1812 by
Captain Henry Hall, of Barnstable, Mass.
Their cultivation bus a-mimed vast pro
portions ; not less than 60,000 barrels
lu-ing annually produoed ou Capo Cod,
and a still larger amount in Now Jersey.
The same industry increase yearly in
Maine, Michigan and Wisconsin. The
ost places for cultivating these berries
e peat bogs, which are near deposits of
■lean sand. It is a trailing, evergreen,
sumi-aquatic plant which derives its
subeteunnoe almost entirely from air and
water. It requires no fertilizer and needs
no cultivation after a few years. '1 he
vines once in bearing will, by judicious
management, produce a good crop yearly
during a generation if not for a century.
A yield of four hundred bushels to the
acre is not infrequent, though hulf that
amount is regarded ns an average crop in
New Jersey. ’Jbe price is rarely leas
than $10 a barrel, and during February,
1869, they sold iu Philadelphia for $32 a
barrel. The cultivation consists in keep
ing other vegetation down till the vines
cover the ground. The demand for these
delicious berries constantly increases.
The hammerless gun is one of ilie
latest fuahi'ins in fire-arms, and some
patterns are quite expensive. A hand
some twelve gauge, seven-and-a-half
pound gun can be hail for $100. The
barrel is of the finest Damascus steel, anil
the artist who engraves the lock-plates
roceives a salary of $3,500 a year. The
hammers are inclosed within the lock-
plutes, and are brought into cocking
position by the dropping of the barrels
in opening tho gun, an automatic device
at the same time looking the triggers so
the gun cannot be discharged by pulling
them until tho little slide is pushed
forward. These guns are considered
quite safe, and it i* predicted that they
will come into general use. Another
change in gun fashions is the growing
p i polarity of smaller gauge and lighter
guns. The American cheap guns ar ■
improving and n il readily over imported

The Bar holdi statue is made of copper
strengthened by an inner skeleton of
iron. For each piece a oenter or mold
was made of wood, on which the copper
could be worked and fitted. The sheet-
oopper epidermis of the figure is made of
300 pieces, and weighs 178,000 pounds,
while the iron frame weighs 264,000
poun s. When finally erected, the
molded sheets of copper will be riveted
together by copper bolts, snd the iron
skeleton will be secured to the masonry
by twelve great foundation bolts. The
variations due to temperature are pro
vided for by elasticity in every part, and
corroding will be ohecked by painting
with red lead wherever iron snd copper
are in contact. It is reckoned that the
pressure of wind upon the statue, which
wiil be 160 feet high, may go as high ss
190,000 pounds.

Placing two comforters upon tho bed,

he prepared his outient by removing all

wrung from warm water, quickly spread
it and bodily the poor man wus lifted
into it, too weak to get there himself.
Then p1a*-iug his arms alongside his
body, the wet sheet was wrapped tight
ly u'lxmt every part of his body up to
uud including the nook. Then the first
and second blankets wore wrapped
tightly about him, uud lastly the com
forter. (A looso wrapping is apt to
chill for a while.) Very cold spring
water wus used iu wetting a doth for
his forehead, and very warm applica

draught of cold spring water >( given to
drink, and the patient slept for one
hour. Having the lnstt of the room at
uboufc 76 degrees, ho was un

oughly nibbed. The rolls of refuse
that collected upon his skin and re-
nutved from his pores were perfectly as

formed it would not perhaps have been
more marked than the effects of that

Bakkino.—A outer cause of Jogs "bay
ing the moon" aud burking nt nothing is
discomfort. Many unfurl unate nnimuls
are from pure carelessness consigned to
cold and comfortless kennels. Jt was
found on investigating the kennel of a
dog whish had nightly rendered life a
burden to a neighborhood that tho ken
nel was so small that the poor creature
could only lie partly in it, waa kept
awake by cold and misery, and not un
naturally howled. Many fiogs, too.
suffer in health by lieing tied up without
exercise, and thus are rendered restless,
and consequently howl at night. A
dog properly oared for will rarely give
annoyance.
