INDUSTRIOUS HABITS.

Professor IVES, of New Haven, makes the fol-
lowing instructive reference to the late President
DWIGHT, in recent address before Horticul-
tural Society:
''He had the largest garden, the best culinary
plants, and the finest fruits in the city, and all
cultivated by his own hands. This fact will ex-
cite surprise, when it is recoected that he de-
livered lecture to bis class six days in week;
performed the duties Of Professor Of Divinity,
and superintended the government of the col
lege. He demonstrated that an abundance OF
delicious fruit might be cultivated at a very lit
tie expense. He was minute and accurate
observer of the habits and laws of vegetables,
and delighted in conversation to give or receive
instruction in horticulture. He infused into his
conversation music and poetry, and he was lis
tened to with delight even when his theme was
cultivation of CabIages. He taught that the
proper time to prime fruit trees aras IN June,
when the plant WIS in the most rapid growth;
and the reason WIS that the wound would heal
most readily that season. DIR. Dwight was
enabled to perfdm SO much and so various mental
labors, by invigrang his constitution by exercise
IN the open air No one felt more strongly the
sentiment of tn. poets
"The idle is watch that wants both hands,
AS useless when II goes when it stands.
Want of occupation i. not rest;

HINTS TO BUSINESS MEN

Superintend in person as much of your busi-
ness as practicable; and observe with watchful
eye The management of what is necessarily COM
mitted to the agency of others.
Beware of self-indulgence; no business can
possibly thrive under the shade OF lis influence
Never lose sight Of the powerful influence
OF example, and be careful in the management
OF your concerns, to recommend by yonr own
personal practice, uniform habits Of active -
terested and persevering diligence to those in
your employ.
Despatch at once, if possible, whatever Won
may take in hand; if interrupted by some una
vodable interference, resume and finish it a.
soon as the obstruction is removed.
DO not assume TO yourself more credit fo
what you do, than you are entitled to, rather b.
content with little less, the public will alway.
discover where merit is DUE
Famliarize yourself with your books; keen
them accurately, and frequently investigate and
adjust their contents. This is an important item.
Avoid display. Wear your learning like your
Walch IN private pocket, and don't pull it out TO
snow mat you have one; but if you are asked
what O'Clock it is, tell it. ''~1

of the following statement (says the Ceylon
Chroncle,) may be depended upon. SERGEANT
Abraham Millington's memorandum concerning
the demise of General Bonaparte. son Sunday,
the 9th of May, 1921, was sent for, while at
tending divine service, to make tin coffin Tor
Gen. Bonaparte. Monday, the 7th, was or
dered to attend at Longwood house, for the pur-
pose of soldering up the body of Gen. Bona
parte in the tin coffin, which was performed in
the following manner, IN presence OF Generals
Bertrand and Montholon, Madame Bertrand, the
French Chaplain, Surgeon goth regiment of
foot, several of the French domestics, and Samuel
Lay, private in the goth regiment. The body
of the late Gen. Napoleon Bonaparte, in full
dress, was deposited in tin coffin, which was
lined with white silk and cotton. His cooked
hat was laid across his thighs, and on the left
breast of his coat was gold star and cross and
several other medals of the same metal; several
pieces Of con of various sizes and different value,
were also put in the coffin. His heart was de-
posted in silver urn or tureen filled with spirits,
to which / soldered lid or cover of the same
material, which was placed between the small
parts of his legs. His stomach was deposited in
a silver mug, in which there was spirits, which
was also put in the coffin. silver plate, knife,
fork, and spoon and silver service cup, were
also deposited in the coffin. Previously to pla-
cling the body of the General in the coffin, the
tin lid of the coffin, being lined with white silk
and stuffed with cotton, it was put in its place,
and soldered it on the coffin, enclosing the late
General Napoleon Bonaparte and all the above
mentioned articles. This tin coffin with its con-
tents, was then enclosed in mahogany coffin,
and they were enclosed in lead coffin, and all
were afterwards enclosed in mahogany coffin,

Destruction Of Property and Loss of Life al
Holidaysburg, Pa.
Extract of letter to the Editors of the Spirit Of
the Times, dated
HoLLIDAysBURG, June l9, 1898.
This place was visited this morning with a
Flood, which, for violence and destruction OF
property, far exceeds any ever Witnessed in this
part of the country.
1t commenced raining last night about II
O'Clock and continued to pour an uninterrupted
torrent until about 4, when the waters of Juniat;
were found to be rising with fearful rapidity.
The arc bes Of the viaduct were soon found in
sufficient to allow the passage of the flood, and
the whole of Gaysport was soon under water,
the turnpike presenting continued sheet of wa
ter, with the railroad for its bank for half mile.
The water continued to rise until it was four or
five ieet deep in the lower stories, and the nhabi-
tants were compelled to seek safety up stairs
Mrs. Barrack, wife and two children and servant
girl left their house and attempted to escape.
Mrs. b. and the children were drowned, and
Mr.. b. and the girl narrowly escaped, being res
cued, the former by Patrick Smith and another.
and the latter by j. C. Betes, at the imminen,
hazard of their own lives; Mr.. Joseph Kemp
of the Pilot Line, also narrowly escaped drown
ing. Other lives are said to have been lost, but
no bodies have been recovered since those of
Mrs. Barrnck and the two children.
The waters had now risen to the ton of the
viaduct and were flowing completely over the
railroad belowit. The store of Messrs Culbert-
son d Chambers, standing between the bridge and
yiaduct, was carried entirely away; nothing being
left OF It but the floor, which lodged on the TOP Of
the viaduct.
The waves at length forced breaches in the
railroad between the viaduct and weigh scales.
through which the waters now forced their way.
carrying with them one of Dougherty's triple
boats which was standing on the road, and now
lies high and dry i'll neighboring field. This
additional outlet lowered the waters at the yiaduct
and on the railroad below. About six o'clock
'he waters began to fall, and disclose the damage
they had been doing.
Inc railroad is washed away in some places
ehufely down to the original soil, the stone blocks
hanging 70 the rail; in other places the earth and
s'o',e are washed from around the blocks. There

BILE to look upon.
Several canal boats are lying in the woods; at
the dry-dock two houses are swept away, the
families barely escaping with their lives. The
ieeder TO the canal is also swept of; in short
lew hours has destroyed what will take the labor
Oh hundreds Of hands many days to restore.

COchineaL.-Thc true Coclineal insect has
never been found in the East Indies. 1t is indi-
genous to Mexico. The British East India Com
pany are SO desirous to have it introduced into
their eastern possessions, that they have offered
reward OF 10000 to any person who might sue
ceed in cultivating and rearing this insect in In
dia. The King of the Netherlands has also been
at great pains and expense to introduce the Co
clinical insect into Java the climate of which is
supposed to be well adapted to this important ar
ticle Of merchandise; but all attempts to intro
duce it into the countries of the East it is beev-

FIRST SETTLEMENT OF OHIO.

CINcrNNATr-Fiftv years ago this day l7ih
of April, 1898, (says the Nashville umon'l as
we learn from one of the party, about sIxty-iour
persons landed at the junction of the ONO and
Muskingum rivers, under the command OF Gen.
RuFus PUTNAM, and commenced the settlement
of the State of Ohio, in the presence or nearly
three hundred Indians, who had assembled on
the opposite side of the Muskingum. The land
ing took place at 10 o'clock OF bright and
beautiful spring morning.
What change have these fifty years produced
in Ohio; its dark forests have been swept away
before the axe of the settler; farms, towns and
cities now occupy the site Of the wigwam; the
steamboat has taken the place Of the canoe; and
a population of million and upwards exists on
the same territory that supplied but scanty sub
sistence to a few hundreds of rowing savages'
Such rapid and entire change is without a pre-
cedent in the history of the world.
