Gafibaldi-..Once he lived Here.

1t may not be uninterestlng TO our read
ers to know that Garibaldi, the leader oil
the insurrectionists of Rome, once kept
public house on Sixth street, between
Plum and Western Row, IN this city.
His house was, for some time, one of the
stopping places of the celebrated Charles
Hammond, as editorials from his pen will
show, as any man who has file, or who
read his paper, may see. He kept liquor,
but his eatables and familiar, yet gentle
fractions for Hammond. Many time,
our old citizens inform US, did the veteran
editor refer TO Garibaldi as the prince OF
good eating and good company. From
Garibaldi's industry and good management
in this city, he made money; and when he
left for Italy, he remarked that his $685.
900 cash, that he had amassed, would
make him as wealthy in Rome as Griffin
Taylor and others of great wealth, &C.,
were considered here. At the time he left
our city, quite large meeting of respecta-
bic persons congregated at his house, and
the proceedings of the meeting were pub
lished in the city papers of 1898. A
grand supper was prepared and partaken
of, toasts drank, &C., &c. friend OF
ours, from whom we obtain this informa-
ton, remembers a remark of Garlbaldi at
the time. He said: Before long there
will be a revolution in Europe, and wish
to have hand in it, By the late for
eign news it will have been observed that
his name has figured largely in the accounts
from Rome. 1t will be seen by yester-
days telegraphic report, that, although
the French had entered the Eternal
City," Garibaldi had escaped with ten
thousand men.
From many citizens we have the his;o-
ry of this somewhat celebrated revolution
ist, while IN our city. He seemed always
to have great hatred to menarchs- He
will, perhaps, in his new position as lead
er, make some trouble and cause some
blood to flow; but the powerful armies of
France, Austria, Spain, and Naples, must
crush him, and he will die the death of
what those powers consider traitor de-
serves. He may be too smart, as we say
in common parlance, to be caught. If he
escapes, he will have no other refuge Than
the United States, in which lie most prob
ably learned his revolutionary principles,
and perfected his ideas of self government.

Barren Soils.

This term is often used, and is supposed
by many tc mean soil incapable of be-
ing fertile. No such exists. Barren,
then, is only applicable when intended to
convey the idea of soil which in its pres
ent state will not repay the cultivator.
The nproductiveness may arise from
many causes, but none of them are with
out remedy. If from a deficiency of
some of the earths, let them be added; if
from an eccess or deficiency of either ami
NAL or vegetable matters, the fault is easily
corrected; if from stagnant water, either
under-drain or subsoil, as may be required;
if sand, clay, or chalk be deficient, add
the other two. Peaty soils are generals
reclaimed by draining; sometimes PARIS
and burning are necessary 10 induce C..
composition of organic matter in excess
The same result can be obtained in most
or all cases, By the addition of the salt and
lime preparation which we have recon-
mended for composts. When soils are
found to be incompetent to produce any
special crops required, the farmer should
have them analysed, and then compare
their integrants with those of such soils as
do produce the required crop readily
The differences will point out the means
which must naturally be resorted to, for
the purpose of restoring their fertility

Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad.

The following paragraph from the Pitts
burg Commercial Journal viii be interes-
ting TO our readers:
MIR. S. w. Roberts, chief engineer of
this road, writes to the President that he
has just gone over and reviewed eighteen
and half miles of the road located from
the State line out toward Canton. He
finds on his review that the route has been
so judiciously treated that the cost of gra-
ding, &C., viii not exceed $4,000 mile,
being $4,000 mile less than the estimate.
This is very important saving, and speaks
well for the skill and energy of Mr.. Rob
erts and his assistants"
We learn that the board of Managers of
the company met at Canton, Ohio, on the
lst inst, to make preparation for further
lettings.

Faltening Hogs.

Farmers ought to know. that spring pigs
of any of the late improved breeds, if well
fed all the time, can be made heavy enough
by December and (say from l90 to $50
lbs. average net weigh0 to bring the best
price the packers give for any; and that,
too, at less cost to the farmer than IN any
other way that includes an extra winteing.
The most desirable hogs, to the gener-
ality of packers, especially since the
French market has been opened to us, are
those weighing from 100 to $50 lbs. fat
and small boned.-Ohi0 CttitiUotOr.

God Bless the Honest LahOrer.

God bless the homes: laborer-
The hardy son of toll,
Tie worker in the clattering mills,
The deliver of the soil;
The one whose brawney hands have torn
From earth her huarded wealth,
Whose sole return for ceaseless toll
In natures boon-sweet health.
Bless him who Yields the pondrous sledge,
Clad IN his leathern mail,
That safe warriors panGply,
Guards from the scathing hail
That gushes from benea tn each stroke,
Each mighty, crushing blow;
Who seeks To tighten labor's toll
Where rudy fires glow.
Bless him who gives each beauteoas thought
resting place, a name,
And twines its transient glories
With the fadeless wreath Of fame;
Who sends il forth every breeze,
And bids it live to bless,
While cea seless clicks the slender type,
And groans he printing press.
Bless all who toll! Gods blessing rest
On them with double power,
Whose honest brow the sweat.drops deck
In every dayli ght hour.
Bless them. though poor. and may they win
What wealth can never gain,
Contentment with their lot on earth.
A balm for every pain.

Limits of The Human Mind.

Newton was one day asked, why he
stepped forward when he was SO inclined;
and from what cause his arm and his hand
obeyed his will! He honestly replied
that he knew nothing about the matter.
"But al least" said they TO him, .syou are
SO well acquainted with the gravitaion oil
planets, will you tell us why they turn one
way sooner than another?' still
avowed his ignorance.
Those who teach that the ocean was
salted for fear it should corrupt, and that
the tides were created to conduct our ships
into port were little ashamed when told
that the Mediterranean had ports and no
tide. Muchemdrock himself has fallen
into this error.
Who has ever been able to determine
precisely how billet of wood is changed
into red hot charcoal, and by what mech
anism lime is heated by cold water.
The first motion of the heart in animnls
is that accounted for! Has it been ex-
acty discovered how the business of
generation is arranged! Has any one di-
vined the cause of sensation, ideas and
memory! We know no more of the es.
sence of matter than the children who
touch its superices.
Who will instruct us in the mechanism
by which grain of corn, which we cast
into the earth, disposes itselfto produce

Summer Feed fOr Cattle.

Some have recommen ded the soiling of
cattle, by which is meant feeding them
with new mown grass, &C., during the
summer months. Some intelligent agri-
culturists have advocated the method, and
the question perhaps remains to be decided
whether the mode proposed has any ad-
vantages over the common practice of
farmers; provided always, that our grass
lands shall be rightly managed. Lands
certainly become much improved by pas
turing cattle upon them, year after year.
The urine of animals is absorbed by the
soil, and although much of the most valu-
able portion of the excrements of the cat
tie may escape into the air, we may save
a large quantity of manure by confning
the animals in the yard during the night
time. 1t is sterling good policy to plough
grass grounds, whether moving or pasture,
often. And 10 change from pasture to
moving, and from moving to pasture,
often, would he attended with fine results
Both the moving and the grazing lands
would be highly benefited by such a
course. 1t would be well if the whole
farm could be suitably fenced off into lots,
so that a change may be made when desi-
rable. We have some rocky pastures, in
deed which are unfit for moving, but the
great bulk of our lands, by clearing off
distractions, may be rendered fit for this
purpose al moderate expense. By prac-
tising, as before stated, we may improve
the soil and also secure an abundant sup
ply of excellent summer feed for our stock.
We should so manage that we may be
a5le to afford milch COWS, beef cattle, &C.,
the benefit of early .'fall feed" land this
may always be done if the farm be suitably
fenced into lots say cut the hay crop
rather early and we get two good crops in
a single year; lst, a crop of excellent early
cut hay, and 2ndly, supply of superior
feed for COWS and tattening cattle.
A farmer of small capital may not be
able to effect great changes in a single
year, but il is a fact worthy of being re-
peated, that there is nothing like perseve-
rance. If the right kind of Improvements
are begun, the most noble results may be
reasonably anticipated.
If by the practice of soiling cattle, the
saving of land is as great as has been as
serted by some, it would seem to be an
object worthy of attention, at least in d
country overstocked with population
Whether the soiling method will obtain
any considerable extent In our country re-
mains 10 be.seen. One fact is certain, that
better modes of managing our grass crops
than those now generally practlsed, wonld
be attended with greater beneficial results
than many may suppose.
Every farmer may not have large
amount of pasture lands sufficiently level
to be conveniently covered to moving,
but almost all may so manage that occa-
sionally small moving field may be ap-
propriated for the benefit of the cows III

Singular Phenomena.

The Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Demo.
cratic .4dUocate of the 18th ult. SAYS tha,
a most singular sight was witnessed few
days since, upon the premises of Mr..
Bessey in the lower part of that town.
The earth for twenty or thirty feet square,
appeared to be in state of natural .spon-
taneous combustion Flames were seen
to issue TO a height sufficient to attract the
attention of persons hundred yards off,
and many OF them upon repairing to the
spot, found the earth on fire, sending forth
somewhat of a sui phurous smell. An at
tempt was made to quench the mysterious
fire by copious drenchings of water, but it
was like adding fuel, TO burn with more
vehemence, and producing the same crack
ling noise as that of grease and water when
commingled and brought in contact with
fire. Eventually, however, an expert
ment was tried, which proved successful.
A heap of ashes were obtained and pro-
fasely scattered over the burning district;
water being then poured over them, an
alkaline composition was produced which
proved an effectual extingusher of the
aqua-oleaginous. The .4doocate saws,
we visited ii on Monday afternoon; we
could distinguish no appearance offire or
heat, save that which poured down upon
US from old Sol above, and which was of
a nature severe enough for all comfortable
purposes.

The MOST ORIGINAL DUEL ON RECORD
We read in an old work few days since
(says an exchange paper an account of
one of the most original duels on record:
Ii is stated that two French gentlemen of
science having quarrelled about an opera
dancer, agreed to fight in balloons. Ac-
,cordingly, on the Sd of May, 1911. the
parties met in the field adjoining the Tuil-
leries in Paris, where their respective bal
looms were ready to receive them. Each,
attended by second, entered his car, with
a loaded blunderbuss, and at O'Clock the
cords were cut, and amid the shouts of the
spectators ascended majestically. When
about 900 yards high one fired his piece,
but Intellectually, when the fire was re-
turned by his opponent, which pierced the
balloon, caused It's rapid descent, and the
death of both principal and second. The
victor then mounted and descended safely
about twenty miles from the spot of ascen-
sion.

The Wrongs Of Slavery,

The Louisville (Ky.) Examiner, by the way
one of the best anti-Slayery papers in the Union
though published in a slave State, sums up
some of the wrongs of slavery. After speaking
of it as general system of wrong, having no
good feature, 1t continues thus:
"Slavery is a wrong to the owner, because it
places upon him, in addition to his own moral
responsibility the responsibility which belongs
to others:
In becoming the owner of human being one
takes that being, mind and soul, as well as body
into his own care. His will is substituted for
the will of the being owned. To his commands
instead Of the DEGREES of conscience, the slave
must conform. He judges between the light and
the wrong. In fact, obedience to him is the
slaves great rule of right, and disobedience to
him the SUN of wrong. He comes directly be
tween the slave and the slaves God Now
where is the moral accountability of the slave
The accountability is not his, for he is not his
own. Yet the accountability must be some.
where. If the slave is Ignorant degraded and
vicious, some one must be responsible for his
ignorance, degradation and vice. And upon
whom does this responsibility dovolve? Upon
whom can it devolye except upon the maser?-
In becoming the owner of a slave, man as.
sumes the moral accountability of thatsave.-
An undesirable and fearful assumption it seems
