The science Of Chemistry is as essential to the
physician. as air to support our lives; but how few
there are, who understand the first rudimenrs Of
this great, important, and endless science. They
know nothing of the chemical composition of our
most wonde full and mysterious physical systems in
health and they know nothing OF te physical chem

OF the prospects In the northeastern
counties of Ohio. the Salem Republicdn says
"The wheat, so far as we have been able "a
learn, throughout ColumbIana and Mahon-
ing counties promises much better than
was anticipated few weeks ago. The late
favorable weather has started II TO growing
finely, and many fields that were regarded
as worthless are now showing evidence OF
a paying crop. Should the weather con-
tinue favorable, our farmers will yet re-
ceive a fair return from their toll.
Nearer home, however, we have this un-
pleasant report from Green county, as re-
ported, by "a farmer" to the Cincinnati
Gazette, ofthe 9th:
From what have seen and observed In
travelling over the best portions of this
(Green) county, deem Il safe to say that
the wheat crop at best cannot yield more
than one-fourth or one-fifth Of the usual
average.
The barley crop is almost an entire fail
ure.
The corn crop is being planted IN good
time. The ground Is In the best Of order,
the seed good and sound, aud cannot fail,
with an ordinary summer season, TO pro-
duce full crop,

An Extensive saIt Mine.

The New Orleans Times gives an extended
account Of what is considered the purest
and most important natural deposit of salt
in the world, located on the coast Of Lou
isiana at Petit Anse Island. The deposit
was known as long as l69S-99 but all
knowledge of it appears to have been lost
until after the commencement of the re-
cent war, when all the works were de-
stroyed. The mine has lately been pur-
chased by capitalists who, in developing
the property, have found the salt rock from
thirteen to twenty-five feet below the sur
face, extending over a great number OF
acres. Pits of over forty feet In depth have
been sunk through the salt without finding
any indications of reaching bottom. The
salt formation is almost perfectly pure,
chemical analyses showing that it contains
about ninety-nine per cent. pure salt. The
development of the property is being rap
idly pushed, and the product has already
reached two hundred thousand pounds per
week with force of ten hands.

Scandal in st. Louis.

A st. Louis letter to the Cincinnati Com
merctdt contains the following story of an
exciting social scandal in the former city :
The social world has been considerably
excited, during the past week, by the reve-
lations concerning the troubles of bride.
whose marriage was probably the most
brilliant that has occurred in st. Louis
during the last four years. She was OF
wealthy parentage. and the bridal arrange
ments were of regal magnificence. The pa
pers were filled with descriptions of the
wedding. The affair excited the greatest
tlutter among the disloyal elite in particu-
lar, as the bridegroom had served four years
in the rebel army; !he was young and OF
family. Altogether, it was the social sem
sation of the season. Recently 1t has trans
pired the parties only lived together brief
time, and although dozen versions of the
story are given, yet they all agree in this,
that the husband struck the young bride,
and was finally caught in the act of choking
her. These details, with all the minor in
cidents, have formed the gossip of the so
cial circle of the city for several days, and
not one word has been heard in iustifica-
tion of the cruelty alleged on the side of the
husband. Too much whisky was at the
bottom

The President.

A Washington correspondent thus al
ludes to the severe labor which is imposed
on the present President:
president johnson was out riding to-
day. He keeps within the White House
very closely, more so, it is said, than any OF
his predecessors. He is never seen walk
ing out. Mr.. Buchanan used to walk about
like other people. The President is so
overrun with business that he has hardly q
moments breathing time"
The House of Representatives has Just
voted eleven million dollars to supply the
negro clearinghouse of the South. I'm
der the Bureau bill strangled by the Exec
utive the estimate of yearly expenditures
was double that sum. President JOHNSON
has thus saved the people Sl1,0OOOOO. Give
him credit for it. 1t was a good ''ddJs
york. but paying no attention to the esti-
mate that was made for the yearly cost of
the African wardrobe, we may safely say
that that one days work was worth to the
taxpayers of the country one hundred mil
lions Of 1OIlHrs'

Effects of the War ON Races,

The statistics of the War office show how
great was the mortality among the colored
troops from disease. While but 1887 died
in action and of wounds, 26,997 died of dis
ease. A Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune commenting on these fig
ures, says: a
among the white troops the proportion
ofdeaths In action and from wounds, to the
deaths from disease is about one TO two
among the colored troops as one to eight
colored men were enlisted in the army
during the war, of whom, accordingly
nearly one out of every seven died of dis
ease. The general proportion among white
troops is one to fifteen"
A 'war for the freedom of the negro
was, by this showing, practically one fol
his annihilation.
