HoosIER FARMING.-A correspondent of
the Grand Rapids Enquirer, who has evi-
IDENTIFY been rusticating among the 'hoosiers,'
writes as follows: al rt YIt.'e8.us .a
Farming within a few years has been rev.
olutionized in Indiana. Twenty years ago,
the cultivatd lands in the timber districts
were nearly all "girdlings." Now the land
is handsomely cleaned off, and substantially
fenced. Then, owing to the extraordinary
strength and fertility of the soil, the hoosier
farmers would work about two days of the
week and spend the balance in fishing and
trying to get drunk; now the scene is changed
the farmers work six days in the week, the
fish and forest game are unmolested by them,
and the consequence is beautiful farms, and
substantial and comfortable sometimes ele-
CAN'T houses and barns may now be seen in
the place of the old slovenly 'girdlings' and
miserable novels for man and beast.

The Late Eugene Sue

The death Of Eugene Sun, the celebrated
French novelist, is announced. He was born in
Paris, in 1908. and Inherited considerable es-
tate from his father, who was professorOf anat-
omy. He studied surgery, and served for sew
eral years as a surgeon in the French Navy
After having squandered his patrimony in ex.
travagant living, he was driven to writing roman
ces. His first literary success was "Mathilde,
or the Memoirs Of Young Woman" wherein,
contrary to the usual custom of French novel
lists Of the time, vice was punished and virtue
rewarded. The popularity Of this book, how
ever, was far exceeded by that Of The Ayste-
ries of Paris" The Wandering Jew" was
no less popular, and, like the "Mysteries Of
Paris" was translated into many AQg0agest 1t
derives its interest not so much from the myth
cal character who gives a name to it as from the
prominent and mysterious part which the Jesu-
~ of the French Marine in the Time Of Louis
XIV" work in which truth and fiction are in
geniously mingled, was very successful. His
Mysteries of the People," written after he had
become identified with the socialists, did not
meet the anticipation of his admirers. In 1850
he was elected to the National Assembly, where
he exerted no great influence. His extreme So
cialistic views made him obnoxious to the party
Of order, and after the coup d'stat he became
refugee. More recently, however, he returned
to Paris, where he died on the Sd inst, aged 80.
As writer, Eugene Sue possessed great pow
ers of vivid description and lively narrative. His
works abound in horrible and mysterious incl
dents, and won favor with the lower classes by
the vigor with which their wrongs and suherings
we're contrasted with the vices and luxury ef the
rich. Notwithstanding his socialism, he has al
ways lived very extraVasantly, as the great pop
ularity of some Of his writings enabled him to
do. The following disagreeable incident is re-
lated as having befallen him, soon after the pub
LEGATION Of his successful " History of the French
Navy" A parcel was sent to him from ToulOn,
through the Foreign Office. 1t consisted of

Navy" Underneath, in very small letters, was

WHITING BRIcKs.-As it is important that eV
cry one engaged in building should be well in
formed in regard to the durability Of materials,
We publish the following from an exchange pa
per:
Very few people, or even builders, are aware
of the advantage of Wetting bricks before laying
them, or if they are aware Of it, they do not
practice Il; for Of the many houses now in prog
ress in this city, there are very few in which wet
brick are used. A wall twelve inches thick,
built Of good mortar with bricks wen soaked, Is
stronger in every respect than one sixteen inch
es thick built dry. The reason of this il, that
if the bricks are saturated with water, they will
not abstract from the mortar the mOirtHre which
is necessary TO its equalization, and on the con-
xary they will unite chemically with the mortar,
and become rs solid as rock. On the other hand,
if the bricks are put up dry, they immediately
take all the moisture from the mortar, leaVingit
too dry to harden, and the consequence is that
when building Of this description is taken
down or tumbles down Of its own accord, the
mortar from il is like 50 much sand.--Seientifs
