How Metenns are Cansed

Professor Bartlett's theory for tbe ex.
plauaiion Of this pbenomena is ss follows:
"These bodies are OF the nature ol
planets, ADD circulate about the sun 10 OF
bits as unerriDgly as their larger hreth
reu. When they aud the earth come
simultaneously to those points of their
orbits which are nearest together, the so-
tion Of the earth often becomes superior
30 the sun, and the smaller masses sre
drawn to its surface. Piuuging with e.
normous velocity into our atmosphere,
tbese little bodies compress the air in front
and rub against it with such yiOleuee on
the sides, as to produce heat enough to
fuse, and light sufficient to iIlumiOste the
vast refractory and darkest Of substances
The exterior and molten crust is swept to
the reaf by resisting air; new surface
becomes exposed; this, in its turn is fused
and carried backwards, aDd so on ill
finally the whole track of the meteor il
strewo with groups of diAintegrsted and
sciDtillstipg matcrisi.

Another Renegade Reported.

A rumcr is circulating about town to
the effect that j. Z. Struthers, who has
been the recipient of many faVors from,
the Democratic party. has raised the
standard of revolt in favor of Abe Lin
coin. We scarcely credit the story. II
cannot be possible that nan who has
been placed in so many positions Of trust
By the democracy, has so soon proued re
cream. Carbon Democrat
Mr. Struthers, although we'll known
as one on the most prominent and indu
tial democrats of Carbon county, aud per
baps the recipient of some fasors in his
time from bis party, is now, and has been
for the last year or more, simply pri
vate citizen. We venture to assert that
be never accepted any Office or favor
upon any condition that be must forever
support the party right or acrong. As far
as we know, he has always been consis
ten. democrat, and sincere believer in
it's principles. But as that party has
bandoned every good principle it ever
professed. and seeing no hope of return
of the party to the ancient democratic
land marks, be has finally resolved to
support Abraham Lincoln and the true
Jefersonian principles embodied in the
Republican platform. We think Mr.
Struthers will survive the uncalled for
attack made upon him by the horoless
Bull of the Carbon Democrat. .--Mauch

And soon hope twill be,

Two years this coming fall.
Wednesday won't suit at all, for then have

To fell our forest trees.
Be sure the boys could get along, they're
very capable, and strong,
But then in times like these,
It's better that the master man, be on the spot

The Sabbath is the day,
Then through the neighborhood they can,
turn out in company TO man.
For good rain to pray.
The Sabbath comes; the eager crowd, Of poor

All for one purpose meet.
The common topics all discussed, the bell
proclaims that each one must
Now hurry to a seat
Parson was earnest, told how well the crops
had looked when sometimes tell
The soft refreshing shower,
And fervently implored of Heaven, the pre-
cious boon again be given,
Yea, even at that hour
Ending at last this heightened prayer, the
people to go prepare,
When, from the outdoor calling,
Is heard the deacon's cheerful voice, neigh
bors and friends now all rejoice,
A blessed rain is falling.
| He needn't to have set time, said farme
Spriggs to Deacon Prime,
Twill surely be no joke.
Through rain and mud four miles to roam
before man can reach his home,
Without his oyercoat.

Without murmuring the while.

Cure for In-Growing Nails.

1t is stated, by correspondent, that
cauterisation by hot tallow is an iwme-
diate cure for ingrowinR nails. He says;
| put small piece of tallow in a spoon,
and heated it over lamp until it became
very hot. and dropped two or three drops
between nail aud g'anu!ations. The ef-
feet is almost magical. Pain and ten
derness are at once relieved, and in a
few days the granuiations ell go, leaving
the di-eased parts dry. aDd destitute OF
all feeling. aud the edge of the nail ex-
posed 80 as to admit of being pared away
without any inconvenience. have tried
the plan repeatedly since, with the most
satisfactory results. The operation eau
ses little if any pain, if the tallow is prop.
erly heated.

Oil for Boots and Harness.

Some practice, end a good deal of rea
soning from analogy, has proved thot the
very best oil for all applications to lcath
er is the COMMON castor oil from TIE
bean of the Palma Christa plant), and i
IDENTICAL with that with which careful
mothers sometimes Uauscste their children.
One OF the reasons Of its value is that il
has less affinity for water than any other
oil, and less tendency to harden or thick
en- the leather, as Dentsfoot aud other an
imsl oils DO. Leather that has been sat
urated with any kind of amin al fat snl
exposed to water, as boots and harness
are. instead Of rem aiming pliable. becomes
hard and dry, losing its elasticity, and f.
nalIy becoming brittle aud worthless; but
that which Is oiled With the extract OF the
Palma Christa bean, and in less degree
with faxseed oil, appears to retain its f.
brous tougbDess a great deal longer.
The oil is naturally Viseid, containing
soue glutiDous matter. which serves a
better purpose than animal oil to exclude
the water, which, when absorbed in lea.
ther, is the real cause Of its n-ela-ticity
Castor oil, If bought By the gallon, l.
not expensive. It was manufactured fe y
years ago in Illinois and sold at 6fty cent.
a gallon, aud the beans were grown a. a
field crop at fifty cents bushel. 1t j,
we'll worth the while of farmers to give
castor oil trial as ubrica.or of leath.
