CURRENT NOTES.
- NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.
The Rev. Dr. Cuvier iu recent remi
niscences ns to Carlyle mentioned that
lio heard him say: “I wad like to soo
America. Ye may talk about yourdimoc-
racy, or any other ’oracy, or any kind
of poleetical rubbish, but the secret of
happiness in America is that yo have gat
a vast deal of land for a very few peo
ple.”
The new United States Senate will
have a pretty strong representation of
Bible names. There will bo eleven
Johns, seven Jameses, three Thomases
nnd three Matthews, making twenty-
f our in all who bear the namos of the
apostles. Two Josephs, three Benja
mins and one Zobulon nre representa
tives of the sons of Jacob ; and one Eli,
three Samuels, one David and one
Daniel mako up tho list of thirty-six
Scriptural names. A Justin and an Am
brose, however, aro thrown in to prevent
the early church from being forgotten.
There is in contemplation in Montreal
a great co-operative society for aiding
families in tho burial of their dead.
This is a purely cosmopolitan and non-
sectarian society, embracing all creeds
and nationalities. Tho objects sought
to bo obtained by tho promoters are:
That each member, male or female, sub
scribing to tho extent of seventy-five
cents per annum, will rocoivo at their
burial tho following requisites, viz.,
coffin, hearse, crapes, a mourning coach
and grave, besides tho preparations of
t he body for burial.
Robert Shorook, of Paterson, N. J.,
inherited 825,000 about five yoars ago.
Tho testimony educed at a hearing ro-
oently on tho charge of common drunk
enness showed that he had spent 817,000
in drink, and of this nearly $10,000 in
ono saloon. On ono occasion, it was
testified, ho did not have money to pay
for tho liquor ho had charged to him,
and tho liquor dealer induced him to
give him tho barn on his lot. Tho barn
was bodily removed from his placo to
tho premises of the landlord, nnd there
it stands to-day. .
Somebody in Covington, Ga., has pro
jected a now scheme for the promotion
of matrimony. It is proposed that an
association of bachelors over twenty-
seven years of ago bo organized, each
member paying $10 into a common
fund. The first man that marries will
bo entitled to all tho money in tho
treasury, when a new assessment of $10
each is to bo levied upon the remaining
members, and the struggle will begin
afresh to secure tho “pot.” Only
twenty members will be allowed to join,
and tho last man in tho procession will
havo to pay heavily for his Binglo-
blossednoss, just as tho “last man” in
an assessment life insurance concern
finds himself left in the cold.
A singular delusion is abroad in tho
country. Numerous letters have recent
ly been received at tho treasury depart
ment at 'Washington relative to tho value
of a standard silver dollar on which tho
eagle has eight tail feathers. It appears
that a report has boon circulated that
only a few of those pieces were coined,
and that consequently they possess ftveat
numismatic interest nnd valuo. Tin
facts, however, aro that owing to a do
feet in tho hub from which tho first dies
used at the mints for coining tho stand
ard silver dollars were made, tho eagle
had eight tnil foathers. A now ono was
substituted, on which tho engraver put
seven feathers in the tail, but this was
not done until about half a million of
piecos were struck at the Philadelphia
mint and probably ns many more at the
Western mints. The eight-feathered tnil
dollars are, therefore, of no rnoro valuo
than those with only seven.
While many people aro looking for
ward to great disasters and a possible
destruction of the human raco during
tho period from 1881 to 1885, it may
not bo out of place, says Illustrated Cos
mos, to mention ono source of danger
not thus far recognized. Wo would not
offer it ns embodying all of modorn
wisdom, nor as crystallizing the modus
of prophecy. Yet as a curiosity in
theories it will take rank. Wo all sup
pose that polarity depends upon a cur
rent of electricity passing at right angles
to the direction of tho poles. The po
larity of tho earth is supposed to de
pend upon the electric or heat currents
of the sun; and it is highly probable
that the oarth’s inclination to the eclip
tic is governed by k its polarity. If,
therefore, there wore instantly estab
lished sufficient electrical connection by
wires around the earth, with the earth
itself, to instantly equalize the current
and produce a complete reduction of all
electrical excitement, what would bo
the effect on the polarity, and secondly,
on the inclination to the ecliptic ? May
there not bo a sudden change of polari-
^ le Arctic region becoming equa
torial, and the tropics suddenly changed
to polar temperature? The sudden
melting of the vast fields would pro
duce another glacial flood; the present
race would disappear, and man of the
quartenary would .begin life over again
at the antipodes. All this is to be ac
complished by the continuation of com
plete circuits for telegraphing around
the globe. Of course treihenduous
earthquakes would follow, as the polar
diameter is twenty-six miles too short
and the equatorial twenty-six miles too
long.

Tho average of heat and cold vnries
but littlo from year to year. Tho average
of tho highest daily record in 1878 was
sixty-one and one-half, and in 1879 was
fifty-eight and three-quarter, which shows
nn extremo of tho chango within fivo
years. Tho uverago of the lowest daily
record for the year 187!) was forty-one

An Important Invention.
Among the now ideas creoping into
commercial life, says a New York letter,
there is ono which is boing silently but
fiercely combated. I nlludo to a curious
but iiupbrtant invention which will ere
long eomo prominently boforo tho pub
lic. It is called neptunito, and was in
vented two or three years ago by a man
named Lamb, a timid person who hardly
appreciated its immense possibilities.
Chance threw it in the way of a party of
gontlomon, who immediately purchased
it, organized a eompnny and proceeded
to manufacture it on a large scale. Tho
greatest of tho world’s inventions havo
been preceded by a sorios of moro or
loss valuable experiments. It was so
with steam, electricity and a host of
others. This idea of a “ water repel
lent,” for such it is, has had a precursor
in tho manifold forms of mildew-proof
ing. It is in itself used for the same
purpose, though ils greutost usefulness
engages quite anothor field. It is chiefly
applicable to dry goods and dress goods,
rendering all objocts “ treated,” as the
expression is, impervious to dampness
without any porcoptiblo chango in tho
toxture.
Volvets, silks, satins, plushes, cotton,
woolon and linen fabrics, laces, fringes,
gauzy stuffs, silk hats, ribbons, gloves,
shoes, falso hair, and a quantity of heav
ier goods, such as hose, saddlery, leather
in all forms, and many other things may
all bo passed through this magic solu
tion. Milk becomes a littlo heavier
under treatment, a dollar silk emorging
with tho lustor and weight of a pioce
worth double tho money. Tho colors
of tho most delicate evening stuffs aro
absolutely unchanged, while they ro
coivo properties which enablo the
wearer to look with indifference at a
stream of water, coffco or wine pouring
down the front. I have seen a hose
pipe turned with full force on a hand
some black silk and velvet walking-
dross for fivo minutes without leaving a
drop of water on its surface.
A beautiful Parisian bonnet, which
had already borne fmpjent tests, passed
under tho same shower nnd came forth
as dry os the Israelites from the Red
sea. If was covered with ostrich
plumes, not ono of which uncurled or
showed tho least trace of having boon
wet. So on through twenty or thirty
different pieces with the same result.
Manufacturers flocked to see it, but re
fused to make contracts with the com
pany because the increased durability
of dress stufls submitted to this process
would diminish tho demand one-tliird.
Nearly all tho retail firms declined it on
the same ground, though tho cost of
treatment per yard was but a few cents.
This opposition has decided tho owners
within tho last monith to open large
treating works in town, where they can
reach the public directly, and where
everything, at wholesale or retail, can
bo sent.
Sitting Bull’s Name.
The manner in which “ Sitting Bull,”
the great chief of the hostile Sioux,
came by his name is thus described
by a Western correspondent: Sitting
Bull in his early youth was called Lame
Deer. One day ho went out unnoted
among his brother buffalo-hunters and
came in at night carrying on his
shoulders the carcass of a young buffalo
with a mystic white cross on its forehead,
shot by him and borne for so manv
weary miles . that he sank exhausted at
the lodge gate in a sitting posture. He
thus became Sitting Bull, for the carcass
remained on his shoulder and seemed a
part and parcel of himsolf. Tho car
cass of tho animal was left there, the
camp abandoned, and ever since has
been avoided as cursed by the spirit of
evil,
FARM, GARDEN AND HOME.
Fa-rni nnd ftardtm Note*.
It is only good seed that makes good
results possiblo.
It is soon enough to put on shoos
when tho colt has reached two years.
An Ohio farmer, on account of tho
scarcity of mulching material, sowed
three bushels of oats to an acre of ber
ries. The oats only grow about a foot
high, then fell down, and proved a bet
ter and cheaper mulch than he could
have obtained in any other way.
Tho practice of blanketing a horse
during exercise is not one to bo recom
mended. Cover immediately after drive,
if only stopping for a few minutes.
After being out in a storm of any kind
horses should be rubbed with straw until
thoroughly dry, and then blanketed.
The New York Ilerald answers a
correspondent ’s query in regard to croup
as follows: Unless you take this disease
iu its first stage you had better kill the
fowl at once. When a bird is heard to
sneeze or to give a short, asthmatic
cough the disease is easily controlled by
giving a tablespoonful of castor oil. A
second doso is seldom necessary. Red
pepper mixed in tho soft feed or a fow
drops of tincture of iron in tho drinking
water aro excellent tonics to bo given at
this time.
Earth is a good absorbent, for uso in
tho barn or stablo. Where a bank of
earth is accessible in winter to uso bo-
himl the farm stock for saving tho liquid
manure the value of the farm manures
may bo greatly increased,if not doubled.
Straw is not to bo recommended for
tho floors of poultry-houses. It harbors
ond engenders vermin. Hand is excel
lent, if you havo boon thoughtful and
barreled a sufficient quantity of it. If
not, uso sifted coal ashes. Tho fowls
like to peek the small coal and cinders.
Wood ashes should not bo used.
An Englishman, by finding ono very
superior head of wheat and selecting
the largest grain, in a few years is said
to have harvested 100 bushels of wheat
from one acre. Roberts, of Dover, for
four years selected tho very best pota
toes for seod, and had a wonderful fine
crop of sound potatoes, while those of
his neighbors rotted badly. Again, ho
selected tho very poorest for soed four
years, and his miserable crop all rotted.
A Western farmer thinks that after
having cultivated over three hundred
varieties of potatoes ho could reconi-
mond us the best varieties the alpha for
very early, tho snowflake for medium
early and victor for late use.
Dr. Hoskins tells tho Home Farm
(Maine) that he has grown seeds for up

j Meatless Tomato Hour.— One quart
j tomatoes, ono of water; stow till soft,
add teaspoon soda, allow to effervesce,
and add quart of boiling milk, salt, but
ter, nnd popper to taste, with a little
rolled cracker; boil a few minutes and
serve.
Bnow Puddino.—Soak ono-lialf a pa

cover it; add one pint of boiliug water,
two cups of sugar, and juieojof a lemon;
strain it after it is thoroughly cooled, so
it commences to thicken; add the beaten
whites of three eggs; boat altogether
until creamy, then turn into a mold.
Tho same is mudo with a pint of milk
and tho yolks of tho eggs, sugar to

custard.
Whipped Potatoes.—Whip boiled
potatoes to creamy lightness with a
fork; beat in butter, milk, popper and
salt; at last, the frothed whitoof an egg;
toss irregularly upon u dish; set in the
oven two minutes to reheat, but no not
let it color.
Pudding Hauce.—For a good or easily
inado pudding sauco take ono table
spoonful of butter, two tablespoonfuls
of flour, two-thirds of a cup of sugar;
pour hot water over those, stir well and
boil until thick; flavor with lemon or
with nutmeg and a teaspoouful of vine

Moral Suasion in Colorado.
Three months ago, when 200 of the
leading citizens of Gunnison City met
in convention on a street corner, there
were seven or eight Michigan men
among the crowd. When Colonel Par
ker presented the following resolution,
it was a Michigan man Avlto supported
it:
Resolved, That a committee of five
bo appointed to wait upon Calabash
Ham, late of Deadwood, and inform him
that after sunrise to-morrow morning
this crowd will open fire on him with
tho intention of furnishing a corpse for
our new graveyard.
The committee of five went out to
find Samuel and deliver tlioir message.
Ho sat on a bench at the door of his
shanty, a shotgun across his knees and
a pipe in his mouth, and he preserved
silence while the chairman of the com
mittee read the resolution; then lie
asked:
“ That means me, does it ? ”
“ Hho does.”
“ Thoy don’t liko my stylo of carving
and shooting, cli?”
“ That’s wliat they kick on.”
“ Well, I won’t go. You haven’t got
’nuff men in the whole valley to drive
Calabash Bam a rod. Return to the
convention and report that I’m here for
tho season.”
“ I forgot tomonshun,” continued the
chairman, in a careless voice, as ho
leaned on his gun—“ I forgot to men -
shun that the convensliun has adjourned.
This committee thus finds itself in an
embarrassing situation, and it sees only
ono way out of it. Onless you’d agree
to pick up and travel, this committee
will feel called upon to—to—”
“ To begin shooting, you mean?”
“ Exactly, Samuel, exactly. You may
have already observed that two of the
committee have got tho drop on you.”
“ I see.”
“ Corpses which are riddled with
buckshot havo a very unpleasant look,’
continued tho chairman, ns he rested
his chin on tho muzzle of his gun.
“ Yes, that’s so.”
“ And it’s kinder lonesome, this being
tho first plant in a new burying-
gronnd.”
“ Y-o-s, it may be.”
“ And so, take it all around, the com
mittee kinder indulges in the hope that
you’ll see fit to carry your valuable soci
ety back to tho Black Hills. You may
have obsarved that three shotguns, each
under full cock, are now looking straight
at. ye. Wo don’t want to bluff, but it’s
gotting nigh supper time.”
“ Well, after looking the matter all
over, I’m convinced that these diggings
won’t pan out low grade ore, and I guess
I’ll take a walk.”
“ Right off?”
“ Yes.”
“ Right up this trail?”
“Yes.”
“Very well. While tho committee
fools sorry to seo you go, and wishes you
all sorts of luck, it hasn’t time to shake
hands. Htop off, now, and for fear you
ain’t used to walking, we’ll keep these
guns pintod up tho hill until you turn
tho half-mile boulder. Trala—march I”

The Original “ Yankee Doodle.”
It is probable, say tho curious in such
matters, that wo owe tho well-known
caricature of “ Yankeo Doodle
which looks like nothing that we Amor-
cans havo ever seen, but which passes
for our national prototype all over Eu
rope, and sometimes does duty on our
own stage, nnd on the cover of an illus
trated pnper, and in caricature ns the
typical Yankeo—to the singular nppear-
nueo of General Jackson. Ho was tall,
thin and nngulnr, nnd at tho “ Hermit
age," nnd when off duty, delighted to
wear tho great white hat, the short-tail
dress-coat, the striped jean trousers, hold
down by two long straps—all of which
costume was probably made by Mrs.
Jackson, nnd which passed from him
into history.
Undoubtedly these sketches came
from some clever Frenchman, made at
New Orleans, when in 1815 the con
quering hero was entertained in tho city
which ho had saved. “The upper part
of tho exehango was arranged for danc
ing,” says an eye-witness, "and the
under part for supper, with flowers,
colored lamps and transparencies for in
scriptions. Before supper .Jackson de
sired to look at the arrangements, unac
companied. One of the transparencies
between tho arches boro tho inscription,
A Itau »n a Guano Island.
My idea of a guano island had always
been that it was very rocky and covered
with a white substance resembling mor
tar before tho sand is mixed with it. I
imagined, too, that it exhaled an odor
differing somewhat from the orange
groves of Tahiti. Had I not been told
that I was on a guano island I would
not now have known it from the sur
roundings. Instead of being rocky the
soil was mellow and dark, and every
where vegetation was most luxuriant.
The air was remarkably clear and pure.
During a walk around the island I then
learned that there are two kinds of
guano; or, rather, that of certain quali
ties which all guano possesses. Homo
of these qualities predominate in that
found in a given locality, while guano
taken from islands differently located
possesses iu a much stronger de-
greo some other essentials. Thus the
guano of the islands off the coasts of
Bouth America, exposed to the rays of
a tropical sun, where the surface of the
land is never cooled, nnd where rain
seldom or never falls, possesses the
strongest nmmoniacal properties. Not
only the excretions of birds aro depos
ited there, but the birds themselves
come there to die ; nnd eggs havo fre
quently been taken out a little below
the crusts which form over these de
posits that are nlmost pure ammonia.
The guano of these islands has a strong,
pungent odor and is white nnd light
brown in color. But tho'"gunno of the
islands of tho Houtliern Pacific is mude
up of decomposed coral, forming mostly
phosphates of lime and magnesia. It is
entirely inodorous and of dark brown
color, resembling well-pulverized
loam. It is believed that the birds,
which in large numbers inhabit these
islnnds, living, as they do, nlmost en
tirely on fish, deposit phosphoric acid
on the coral and also lenvo the bones of
the fish, which they cannot cat. These
decompose the coral, and thus form tho
phosphates which give to the guano its
value. The guano is separated from the
coral in the following manner: There is
quite a force of natives employed, who
gather the earth in large heaps and then
screen it in the same manner as fine coal
is separated from tho coarse. The
screens are about eight feet by throe,
and the iron gauze covering them is fine,
allowing only tho guano or fine portions
of the earth to pass through, and leav
ing the coral in the screens. Tho guano
is then sacked and shipped to Hamburg,
whence it is reshipped to different parts
of Europe.—Californian.

publio. The anti-Jackson party publish
ed a caricature at tho time, at which tho
short and stout Mrs. Jackson was repre
sented as standing on a table while
Mrs. Livingston was employed in lacing
her in, to make a waist where a waist
had been, or should be, but was not. It
was remarkable that General Jackson,
though himself an adept (when he chose)
iu drawing-room arts, and at homo in
elegant society, was blind to the homely
bearing and country manners of his
wife. He put great honor upon her at
New Orleans, in all companies, on all
occasions, giving proof to tho world that
this brown wife of his was to him tho
dearest and most revered of human
beings.—American Queen.
Mexico’s Iron Mountain.
One of tho great wonders of Mexico,
and perhaps of the world, is the Iron
mountain in the immediate vicinity of
Durango, in the .State of Durango. The
iron mountain is nearly two miles in
length and one mile wide,nnd about 700
feet high. Above the surface, uncovered
and in sight, it shows about two hun
dred million tons of pure ore, ready to
be shoveled <£ rolled, without any cost
of mining, mto the furnaces to be
created at its base. Much of this oro
ranges from seventy to ninoty per cent.,
and some is carried directly to the forgo.
It works very kindly and easily assumes
the form of steel. There is every
reason to believe ores of such rare
superiority, when subject to all our
modorn improvements in iron making,
will produce iron and stool unsurpassed
anywhere in tho world, either in
Sweden, or Biscay in Spain, or England'
or the United States.
