Z Use for Useless .rhlssgs.

lie about the premises for years without be-

good deal of ingenuity displayed in convert

Around gristmills may frequently be seen
the WORKOUT stones that have been there for
years. We saw man take one Of these and
place il where he wanted to set a cedar
post. He set the post in the centre Of the
stone, ard it forms permanent foundation.
and renders the post less likely to be moved

Steel hoops. which are always under foot,
may be used for tying up grape vines. Some
have recommended their use for trailing
vines; but nobody would like the looks of
them there.

Old barrel-hoops, which often get more

Spiritual Manifestations Exposed.

At Cooper Institute, New York city,
on Saturday evening, Mr.. H. NJ. Fay
recently agent for the Davenport
brothers, entertained about two hun
dred persons by performing the Da-
venport Brothers feats; first under the
conditions which the brothers demand,
that is, that they be inclosed in a
cabinet, concealed from the audience
land next in open view of the house
The initial experiments were identi-
cally those which tho Davenports
made here, and which they have re-
poated in the capitals Of Europe. The
expose was commenced at 9:20, and at
tho beginning Mr.. Fay counselcd the
spectators to keep sharp lookout for
matches, as some person might strike
a light. He then tied himself by pc.
culiar twist of the hand, and sat be.
fore the house apparently securely
fastened. Then dexterously untwist
ing the rope he freed his hands and
performed on drum, trumpet and fid
dlo, Next the -four test was exposed
Mr.. Fay was tied and -four was placed
in his hands. He again quietly un'
twisted the peculiar knot, tossed the
flour from the right hand, drew q
white handkerchieffrom his pantaloont
pocket, wiped the hand, and exhibited
it clean at the window; then, tossing
the rope aside altogether, he took one,
half of the -four from the left hand
and, Of course had -four in both hands
After exposing others Of the Daven
ports deceptions, Mr. Fay informed
his hearers that he entered the Jug
glery business under the Davenport
with the design Of probing mechanical
and electrical spiritual manifesto
tions to the bottom, and that, having
done this, he now proposed to unraye
the mysteries before the public. RI

Carl SehurI,s Report.

Tho Report Of Carl Schurz, which
was trans,ntted to Congress, with tho
special message and the Report of Gen.
Grant, has been printed in tho New
York Tribune. .ra --F.". d.H
General Schurz finds in tho South
four classes, which ho characterizcs as
follows: %, ..-........ .........
First-Thoso who, although having
yielded submission to tho National
Government only when obliged to do
so, have cloar perception Of the ire.
vorsiblo changes produce by the war
and honestly endeavor to accommodate
themselves to the new order of things.
Second-Those whose principle oh.
ect is TO have their States, without dc.
lay, restored to their position and in.
fiucnco in tho Union, and tho people
of the States to the absolute control OF
their homo concerns. They are ready,
in order to attain that object, to make
my ostonsiblo concession that will not
prevent them from arranging
things TO suit their taste rs soon US
that object is attained. ''.H''d' ''.
Third-Incorrigiblos who still in,
dulge in swagger, which was so Gus.
tomary before and during the,war, and
still hope for the time when the south.
crn Conicderacy will achieve its inde.
pendenco, This class consists mostly
of young msn, and comprises tho loi,
torers of towns and tho idlers of the
country. ''N
o Fonrth--Iho multitude of persons
who have no idcaof tho circumstances
under which they live and about the
course they have to follow, whose in.
telloets are weak, but whose prejudic.
es and impulses arc strong, and who
are apt to bc carried along by those
who know. how to appeal to the lat,
tor. '.i 7".A ,t ,..uit Ia
All these classes, he says, are agreed
that further resistance to the power Of
the national Government is useless, and
submission to its authority matter o.
necessity. All movements in favor o.
separation from tho Union have there
fore been practically abandoned, and
resistance to our military forces or
that score has ceased. 79q pe" A9''.

The Ftnnexans,

AS General Blair called the Feni-
ans, are about to- 60 to owar with Can
ada in order to stop the war among
themselves. The Government no
doubt regards this playing at Govern.
ment and war as an Irish bull, and
does not therefore take steps to squelch
Misther O'Mahoney and hiscabinet,
as it is pompously called. The fact
that mock government should be
organixed in thls, country, that it
should collect immense sums Of money
and that Misthcr O'Mahoncy and his
cabinet should rent princcly quarters
in New York, stick their feet out of
the windows, smoke fancy cigars, and
issue hifalutin addresses, is evidence
tof both the love of Erin and the gul.
liability Of our Irish population. 10
no. All prospect OF a rebellion oven
much less of n successful rebellion, in
Ireland, is over now. The British
lion has his paw down on every inch
Of the Island, and is squelching every
Fenian that lifts his head above
ground. AS for Fenian raid upor
Canada, this will not, OF course, be per
mittcd by tho Government. If thu
Irish people in ireland should rebel
they would have a great deal Of sym
pathy from the Americans, and Civ
us just tho Opportunity we want to b.
neutral . but to organize force OF
American soil, with American money
and munitions of war, and make wa
upon Great Britain, is very diffcren
matterrand should DO nipped in tn
bud, ..-.. yyy. @. a.d d. l
We do not, however, apprehcnd sucl
a war. The Fenian Government, a
it is called, we have no doubt is pro
curing money from honest Irish citi
zens for the purpose of turning it I
individual account. 1t is nice thin
for the government to have fine res
licences, fast horses and good cigars, a
the expense Of the Irishlaborers of tn
country.
