A consolidation of the telegraph inter¬ ests of the cubic companies is contem¬ plated. Mr. Mackay’s friends are now said to be working on a scheme by which the independent telegraph lines will be managed by a new company, and Mr. Gould is supposed to have arranged details of this matter at the meeting held with Mr. Garrett, and the details of the consoli¬ dation will probably be made between Garrett and Muck ay as soon as Garrett ar¬ rives in Europe. He says that he does not think the cable war can last a great deal longer, and that whenever a settle¬ ment is made, the Commercial Cable will faithfully carry out its guarantee to the public. It is sta'ed that the Brotherhood of have Telegraphers of the United States Baltimore made a proposition to purchase the & Ohio Telegraph Company. The sum they offer is $3,000,000. Tins is said to be exactly the amount offered by Mr. Gould. The brotherhood offer to pay $500,000 cash on the acceptance of their proposition, and to pay the re¬ maining $2,500,000 at the end of six months. This large sum it is proposed to raise by assessing each member of the brotherhood $50 per month for six months, There arc 21,000 members, and the leaders among them entertain no doubt of their ability to raise the sum required JUST LIKE I1LM.

Philadelphia,"’ people familiar with the personal appearance of Grover Cleveland could not have been more surprised than three or four, gentlemen this were absolutely to see a i incident so like as to be startling. The peculiar expression which Mr. Cleveland wears in his eyes, as if they were being blinded by the sun, is Mr. Hicks’ to a dot, as is the rather mot¬ tled complexion of the fact- Mr. Hicks lias a thousand tunes been told of the likeness he bears, and was once iutro duced to the President at Waffiington as his double. Still more unusual is the fact that Mr. Hicks’ handwriting is so nearly like the President’athat one would be a forgery of the other. It is a small and nervous hand, almost femiuine in its characteristics, and in letters, like the capital C’s is a close copy. GRAND REVIEW.

The hot weather produces exhaustion, and lice and mites will get in tlic r work if we are not vigilant. Do not stimulate your poultry with cayenne or red pepper at this time and with the temperature running up to the nmeties-.they need to rest; give them some cooling condiment in thefr water twice a week and keep them well supplied with it in a fresh and shady corner.

Heat, moisture, and, to some extent, dose contact with the soil, are essential to a good germination of seed. If the seed is of good vitality they may germi nate even when the conditions are un favorable, yet this does not by any means prove that as vigorous a plant was had se cured as if the essential condition been more closely secured, Many a farmer spends an hour in trying to catch his horse, coaxing and cornering him, and as he gets the halter on the horse lashing him soundly with the shank to veut his spleen, perhaps thinking that the horse would understand the punish meat to be because he refused to bo caught, when the horse really understands it to be a punishment for allowing him self to be caught, and on the next being occa¬ sion will make an effort to avoid caught, in order to escape the punish¬ ment. Nearly all kinds of fruit, and many vegetables, can be evaporated to good is advantage, and the field of operation that considerably more extensive than . compassed by the drying method.
