Uses OF THE TELEGRAPH.--Th electric tel
egraph is becoming more and more useful.
A peasant received lately by mail, letter
from his son Joseph, Zouave before Sevas-
topol. The young man mentioned the fact
that his legs were yet whole, but that his
shoes were worse for wear. The alfectionate
father having purchased pair of nine-and-
a-halfs, was perplexed as to the means of
forwarding them At last he thought of the
telegraph-the line to Marseiles ran through
his village. He put the address on one Of
the soles, and slung the shoes over the wires.
A pedar passing by, struck By the solidity
of their workmanship, appropriated Them
placing his used up traps in their-place. -
The next morning, the old daddy returned TO
the spot to see if the telegraph had executed
his commission. He saw the substitution
which had been. effected. "Ivow,' he ex-
claimed, :" if Joseph hasn't sent back his old
ones p Cor. N. Y. Times.

AMERICANS IN AUsrRALIA.-TheP Paris cor
respondent of the New Orleans Picayune con-
tributes the following extract from private
letter written by an Englishman in Austria

leans are by far the best men in this coun-
try. You know we'll their enterprise, but
even you will be astonished at the following
piece of statistical information: At Bala-
rat, according to the census commission, the
population is $4,000, of whom only 240 are
Americans. In order to drain the water
from the deep sinkings, and also to wash the
stuff, there are seven steam engines and ma
chimes; of these, four belonged to and were
worked solely by Americans. All the great
contracts are taken by them the lines Of

The Country Press.

We have observed with great satisfaction
the marked improvement which has taken
place in our country newspapers within the
last few years. They are now not only print
ed with better materials, OIL an improved
quality of paper, presenting in general a
highly creditable appearance, but, what is
still more important, are edited with much
greater degree of talent, industry and taste,
than formerly. To improve them still fur
ther IN quality, nothing is necessary but a
more liberal patronage. Let the people come
forward and give their local newspapers a
wider and more general circulation, and fill
their business columns with good paying
advertisements, and the thing is done. Eve
rybody is benefited and nobody injured The
subscriber and advertiser get the value of
their money many times over, while the pub
Usher and editor are enabled to devote their
exclusive attention to their paper, and to live
thereby. ....
Every farmer, fruit-grower, and nursery
man has produce to sell. Let him advertise.
Every mechanic, merchant and manufactu-
rer, has goods, implements, and wares to sell
Let him advertise. Professional men and
women, such as teachers, physicians, lectur-
ers and preachers, need to keep themselves
before the public by means of the press. Let
them advertise. All legitimate business, ev-
cry calling and pursuit of life, may be
brought and kept before the world by means
of the newspaper press. A well-devised
system, put into practice and properly car
ried out in this direction, would place every
newspaper upon a high and independent
footing, and add immensely to the wealth
of the world.
Reader, patronize first of all your own
county paper Subscribe and pay for it
Advertise in it, and then, if you can not af
ford to do without it, why, send for Life H.

Brothers of the Press, the interests of each
of us is best served by promoting the inter

Rainy Days i'm July.

We find in the New York Times a state
ment from that indefatigable meteorologst,
E. Merriam of Brooklyn, showing the NUN
Der of rainy days in the month Of July for a
period Of sixty-seven consecutive years, TO
wit, from 1889 to 1855, both years inclusive
The table is interesting, but not of sufficient
importance to call for It's publication. The
number of rainy days iE July during the long
period specified, range from three in 80 and
81 the only ones SO low to nineteen in 1855.
There were two of four rainy days C99 and
1929, three of foe (l805, 'l6 and '49), one
of sir C97), and several each of seven, eight
nine, ten, &C.. up to fifteen in 1886 aud '53.
which were the highest until this year, when
the number of rainy days in July ran up as
before stated to the respectable aggregate of
nineteen. During the last year, the year Of
drought all over the northern, western and
central portions Of the continent, this reg
lister of Mr.. Meriams gives ten rainy days
for July. The month of August, however,
in this region, was the saddest month.
The month Of July, 1855, is distinguished
for another popularity over any other in the
| long period through which this table ranges.
namely, as exhibiting the greatest number of
consecutive days of rain. During this period
of two thirds of the century, there have been
but sir years in which the number Of con-
secutive rainy days in July have exceeded
four. These were 1903, sir 1902. fve 1929.

The heat has been great in July of this
year, and the maximum has been at and
above ninety degrees on ten days at above
eighty, and below ninety, on fifteen days.
and at sixty-three one day, on the 2lst, the
cold Saturday noticed all over the country.
These facts are sufficient to make the month
of July 1855, famous among its fellows for a
long series Of years.--(O. S. Journal.

EXECUTION OF $500 CHINESE REBELS NEAR
CANroN.-Mr. Silas E. Burrows, Jr., who
has just returned to this city, after an abb
sence Of nearly two years, the greater por-
ton of which time he spent in China, was
an eye witness to the execution of $500 Chi
nese rebels, who were taken prisoners in the
battle near Canton in the month of March
last. The prisoners were taken to low
marshy island, and there each was compell
ed to undergo form Of trial before tribu
nal of Mandarins, and each was sentenced to
death by decapitation. One by one they were
led forth to the execution ground, large
space covered with sawdust to the depth of
several inches. To give greater degree Of
awful effect to the scene, an elevated plat
form was erected, consisting of single mar
row plank, over which each unhappy victim
had to pass in full view OF his fellow cap
tives, whose term of existence, whether of
an hour or day, depended entirely upon the
will Of their captors. The prisoners mani,
tested the most stolid Indifference to every
thing connected with the scene, apparently
as unconscious of their terrible fate as
dumb brutes going to the shambles. Arriv
ing at the execution ground, the captves fell
upon their knees, and bending toward, calm
ly awaited the single stroke of the excution-
Iers sword that severed the head from the
body. There were no shrieks Of terror, no
Isupplications for pardon or mercy. From
the moment of capture the captive knew his
doom, and sullenly awaited its accomplish
ment-[San Francisco Herald.

more Williamson was withdrawn, was made
but few days before the election, and was
not understood throughout the State. Mr.
Williamson has received four or five thous-

The final bombardment of Sevastopol las

placed hors de combat before the assault, and
by the artillery projectles alone of the be-
siegers. The Russian loss in defending the
Notifications against The seven attacks on
the 9Th may be very moderately estimated
at 5000 more--a serious diminution of the
Russian force to be added to the recent losses
on the Tchernaya; a consideration that
would weigh when the question of with
