Cure for Leaky Roofs.

We have a small timed roof; nearly fiat,
which, in defiance Of carpenter, tin man and
painter, persisted in leaking, from the day it
was built, until last fall, when we applied a
coat of the cement described below, which
has thus far proved a perfect cure. We
mixed the cement as thick as it could be ap-
piled with paint brush:
olive years ago we applied a cement com
posed of white lead paint, whiting, and dry
white sand, to a small tin roof that leaked
like sieve; it soon became nearly as hard
as stone, has never scaled off, and has kept
the roof, since then. perfectly tight. 1t was
put on about the consistency Of thin putty"
The cement is excellent for filing up
cracks in exposed parts Of brick buildings,
pointing up the base of chimneys where they
project through the roofs Of houses, stopping
up seams in the roofs Of buildings, closing
cracks in cellar floors and walls, &c. White
lead and sand, without the whiting, also
make an excelleat cement for seams and
cracks The Scientific Ansericas gives the
following receipt for slaters' cement;
"Slsters' cement for stopping leaks around
chimneys, is composed Of linseed oil, whit
ting, ground glass, and so,no brick dust. It
is good cement for this purpose, also for
closing the joints Of stone steps to houses y

The Tehuantepec Route.

BY late advces from the East, it appears
that the road from the western to the eastern
terminus is being rapidly put in preparation
for travel, and that it will probably be COM
pleted by February next. With the consent
and appreciation Of the Supreme Government
of Mexico, a city has been planned and its
site fixed upon near Ventosa ON the Pacific,
and arrangements are in progress to improve
the harbor at that point. We learn also
that emigration is rapidly tending along tie
line of the route, and that light steamers are
even now playing on the Guascacualco river,
which will facilitate the travel over this road.
Whatever temporary delays may take place
in consummating the arrangements, there is
no question that the route is perfectly feast
bic, and that it has already been opened to
such an extent as to warrant the conclusion
that California and the East will soon have
a choice of transit in their endeavors to
communicate with each other. Persons have
already gone from this city to the Atlantic
side, and they write back most favorable ac-
counts of the heathtuness of the country
and the comfort to be enjoyed in travelling
over the road. The natives are said to be
friendly and even kind to Americans, and
the Government of President Comontort
seems inclined to render every facility to our
people in their attempts to settle and improve
the country. We hope nothing will occur
to distu these pleasant relations

a halbert in his hand, crying out that the
Father had ordered him to repulse the enemy
Hardly had he passed the gates before he was
killed. He was succeeded by John of Ley
den, who married his widow, and who re-
animated the people, dispirited by the death
of his predecessor. The bishop ordered the
assault to be delivered on Pentecost, but was
repulsed with great loss. John of Leyden
named twelve Of the faithful (among whom
were three nobles) to be ancients in Israel
Il He also announced new revela-
tions from God concerning marriage; and
the preachers, convinced by his arguments,
preached for three days successfully plu-
rality of wives. Many of the townsmen de-
clared against the new doctrine, and even
flung the preachers and one of their prophets
into prison; but were soon obliged to release
them, with loss of forty-nine on their part
On St. Johns day, 1894, new prophet,
a goldsmith of Warendorf, assembled the
people, and announced that it had been re-
vealed to him that John of Leyden was to
rule over the whole earth, and sit on the
throne of Ovid, until such time as God the
Father should come and claim it, Il II
The twelve ancients were deposed, and John
Of Leyden proclaimed king.
The more wives the Anabaptists took, the
more the spirit of lbertinism spread, and
they committed fearful excesses on young
girls of ten, twelve, and fourteen. These
violences and the distress consequent on the
siege, alienated part of the inhabitants and
many suspected John of Leyden of imposi-
ton, and thought of giving him up to the
bishop. The king redoubled his Vi iglance
and nominated twelve bishops to maintain
his authority in the town Twelfth day, 1884 J
promising them the thrones of all the prin
ces of the earth, and distributing before
hand among them celebrates and principal
ties, exempting from this prescription "the
noble landgrave Of Hesse" alone, whom he
hopes to have to call brother in the faith

One of the queens having observed that she
could not think it to be Gods will that the
people should be left to die in misery and
hunger, the king led her to the market, place,
made her kneel down in the midst of his
other wives in the same posture, and strucl,
off her head whilst they sang "Glo,y to God
around. Yet they were left with nothing to
eat but bread and salt; and towards the close
of the siege, regularly distributed the flesh
of the dead, with the exception of such as
had died of contagious diseases. On S..
Johns day, 1885 deserer informed the
bishop how he might attack the city with ad
vantage; and it was taken the seifsame day.
after an obstinate resistance and a general
massacre of the Anahaptists. The king,
with his vicar and his lieutenant, was borne
off prisoner between two horses, a double
chain rourd his neck, and his head and his
feet bare. Il Il The bishop questioned
him stern y on the terrible calamity of which
he had been the cause, when he repled-
