IHc .HcchUHics of -IgpicH1iUye rs
soil Ecb0usfion.

The New York lVorid says that the
late great improvement in The mcchan.
les of agriculture ,whiicit has given case
to the human muscle, docs nothing to-
wards replcnishing the soil with the Gle
ments which are yearly taken from it by
cropping. 1t says:
Ii is a far more cheering sight to see a
line Of sturdy rcapers swinging the era
die on wheat fields that will yield 8
bushels 10 the acre, than 10 watch the
motions of one Of those automatols, Il
Mccormick, or a Buckeye, or n Clip
per, doing lts swift, clean work, in slcn-
der, scattered, half1illcd gram, that
will not average 10 bushels to the acre.
Less ingenuity, we say, and more true
thrift. These came, and rods, and Jour
mails these conical rollers, steel cranks,
and cutter bars, have no effect on the
soil. They do not make the stand good
nor persuade the wheat heads to fill out.
There is ground for general alarm when
we see all over the country, from the
Hudson to the DesMoines, from the
head waters OF the Chattahoochee TO Is
aslla Lake, Il steady annual decline Ii
the yield OF our wheat fields. The aver
age Ter the past year has not been over
l. bushels. IN the great, fertile, and
boastiul state Of Ohio, they have raised
less than four bushels to The acre and
on the virgin soil Of the Northwest, on
sod just rottcd, in a filth as fell as ma
tur9 ever makes ii OF the equine co .stitu-
ents Of fertility, they have produced less
than half the average that England gets
from fields hat have been titled ever
since the days of Agricola.

CHINESE JueeIEes.-A correspondent Of the

Chicago Tribune writes from Canton, China:
Street jugglers and mountebanks abound in
Canton and in fact in every Chinese city. One
fellow performed number of feats in front OF
our hotel which demand from me more than
a passing notice. He stationed himself IN the
centre Of the street, and having blown blast
spon bugle to give warning that he was
about to begin his entertainment, he took a
small lemon or orange tree, which was covered
with fruit, and balanced it upon his head. He
then blew sort of chirruping w1istle,
when Immediately number of birds
came from every direction and settled
nnon the boughs OF the bush he balanced or
fiutterei about his head. He then took cup
in his hand and began to rattle some seeds in
It. when the birds disappeared: Taking a
small bamboo tube. he next took the seeds,
and putting one in it blew it at one of the fruit,
which opened and out flew one of the BIRDS
which iuttered about the circle surrounding
the performer. He continued to shoot hls
seeds at the oranges until nearly a dozen birds
were released. He then removed the tree from
his forehead, and setting it down tooh up :, o
dish which he held above his head, when all
the birds flow into it. He then covered 1t over
with cover, and giving it whirl or two
about his head, opened it and displayed
quantity Of eggs, the shells Of which he broke
with little stick, releasing bird from each
shell. The trick was neatly performed, ana
| defed detection from my eyee.

MORE ABOUT THE EARTHouAKR.-From the
Lima correspondence Of the Times, We take
the following
General Fitzpatrick reports singular and
horrible sight that occurred at AFRICA, on the
south side of the ruined city. AS the earth
opened and yawned, there came up five hun
the sea- every one Of the skeletons in perfect
preservation, the hands doubled up ana sup
porting the chin, the knees drawn up and the
feet supporting the feshless body. This must
be one of the most frighttul sights possible,
and quite beyond description. The spot where
these mummies now stand was once an old
cemetery, some ninety years ago, it is said, and
these skeletons ara doubtless the fabled Incas
and Indians, who either buried themselves
alive or were inferred in this manner.
They correspond exactly to the old num-
mics OF the Incas, which I described in for
mer letter as among the curiosities to be seen
in the museum at Lima. AS the ground reced-
ed, what a CHASTITY spectacle, amid the throes
OF an earthquake. the coming up again to earth
of these long buried skeleton remains. Five
hundred ghostly mummies
The most horrible calamity befel the two
cities of Puffo and Cerro D'Pasco-the former
containing forty thousand inhabitants. These
cities are built near and over the silver mines,
and it seems that the very ground on which
they stood was one hollow cavern. These caves
opened at one wide chasm, and swallo vel up
the cities and the ll-fated population at one
deep and awful opening. They literally fell
down into this immense hollow. A number OF
horsemen rode into Lima and reported the ca
tastrophe, and as the mines themselves are en-
tirely destroyed, we shall probably hear of other
towns being destroyed. Cuzco has not Zone
stone left standing upon another" and most Of
its population we're killed. In addition to the
list OF horrors, q dreadful fire broke out at
Guayaquil and burned down thirty houses and
stores-all the principal buildings-so what the
earthquake spared the fire has devoured.

B@ HEALTH DEPENDS UPON GOOD d.
GESTION.-"weakness Of the sto mach" is the
source of more evis than were contained IN Pando-
ra's box. Debility, headache, nervous temors, pal
pitaton of the heart and local pains innumerable,
are lis direct consequences. 1t obscures the intel
lect and gives birth to the most absurd and ncohe-
rent fsncies; ircspaciatss man for business, and
renders persistent exerion next to impossible. Yet
strange 10 soy, Indigestion is the most neglected Of
all ailments. And this is the more extraordinary
from the fact that absolute, intalibe specific for
the disorder can bs obtained In every CITY, town and
village Of the United states.
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS takes as
wide range as the malady which 1t cures. 1t per-
vades every civilized portion OF the Western hemis-
phere, an its celebrity tonic and Alternative is
everywhere established. It Is due To the common
sense Of the American public to say that the de-
mand for 1t is immense, and continually on the in
crease; but still thousands continue to suffer from
dyspepsia, with the great fact staring them in the
face that remedy for 1t exists, as 1t Uere within
arms length Of every sufferer. Such is the incon-
sistency Of human nature. Day by day, however,
the number of those who manifestthis insane indf-
ference to their own health and comfort diminishes
and the time will come, 1t is confidently believed,
when the disease will be expelled from the category
of prevalent disorders by this incompatible altera

THE DEATH OF John E. Hayes, of the Savan-
nah Republican. has already been briefly an
nounced by telegraph. The Savannah News,
of Thursday says:
MIR. Hayes died about half-past ten o'clock
Yesterday morning. Since an attack made upon
him last winter. when he was struck upon the
head, ho has been subject to occasional attacks
similar to neuralgia. On Monday evening last
one Of these attacks came upon him, and after
retiring, finding that he could not sleep no
made use OF az snodyne. On tuesday he was
still unwell and kept. his bed and that night,
in order to obtain the necessary rest again
used the same remedy. He at first only took
teaspoonfll of laudanum, but as it failed to
produce any effect, he repeated the dose, talk.
ing altogether about tablespoonful. He
then sank into sound slumber, ron
which he did not awake. MIR. Beard,
who roomed with the deceased, supposlng, when
he arose in the morning, that MIR. Hayes
was asleep, came down town without at
tempting to disturb him. About an hour after
the departure OF Mr. Beard, boy was sent
from the Office to receive the commands Of
Mr. Hayes, and found him in convul5lon.
The boy Immediately alarmed the inmates OF
the house, and Drs. King and Schley were
SUNNI oned, and administered emctics an |

of no avail, he dying o short time ai'er their
arrival. The deceased was twenty -elght years

STEAM ON COMMON RoADs.-We have from
time to time referred to the progress made in
the construction of steam carriages for COM
mon roads. We have before us an extract from
the Edinburgh Scotsman, which contains an in
teresting notice Of one. 1t says:
On Saturday afternoon very remarkable
sight was seen in this city. A train OF heavily
laden coal wagons, looking exactly like lug
gage train, was observed coming steadily up
the steep incline leading into Edinburgh from
Dalkeith. 1t was one Of Mr.. R. w. Thompson's
patent road steamers, with india-rubber wheel
tlres, having four huge loaded wagons in tow.
Each wagon weighed when empty two and
three-quarter tons, and carried load OF five
and one quarter tons OF coal, making the gross
weight of the wagons thirty three TONS The
road steamer weighs eight tons. Thus total
of forty-one tons was in motion. The road
steamer had drawn the train from Newbattle
collieries, eight miles from Edinburgh, over a
very hilly road, with rising gradients of in 16.
The newspaper from which we quote des-
cribes the case With which the road steamer
drew its train up hill from Pow Burn to Minto-
street., and speak, enthusiastically of the
manner in which the Indie rubber tires per-
formed their Offices. The conductors had
perfect command OF the train, controlling
its movements and speed with the utmost
precision. The Scotsman thus concludes its
notice:
There can be no doubt this invention of the
application of vulcanized india rubber to the
tires OF road steamers forms the greatest step
which has ever been made in the use of steam
on common roads. 1t completely removes two
fatal difficulties which have hitherto barred
the way to the use of traction engines, viz
the mutual destruction of the uaction engine
and the roads. The India rubber tires, int er-
posing soft and elastic cushion between the
two, effectualIy protect them both from every
jar and jolt, in fact, as much go as if the en-
gine were travelling over tramway OF In dla
rubber. The road steamer, which drew the
four wagons of coal from Newbattle Coniery
on Saturday, was constructed to draw less
than one-half Of the weight comprised in the
coal train.
