DRYING SWEET POTATOES.

Mr.. James II. Whitney was re-
quested by the New York Farmers
Club to make experiments on the
desiccation Of sweet potatoes. He
reports that, with proper apparatus,
the article may be dried so as to be
preserved for any length of time but
that in drying it loses entirely the
peculiar flavor of the sweet potato.

WORK AND WAGES.

The venerable proverb The Ia
borcr is worthy Of his hire, does not
seem to be regarded as anything more
than theoretically true. Mechanics,
for an instance, are among the most
diligent of laborers, but they render
more important and valuable services
TO society for less pecuniary return
than any other class of men. The
mass of these Intelligent and faith
full laborers, scarcely earn more than
scanty living.
From some interesting statistics
lately published regarding the con-
aitiou of the working classes of the
United States, we learn that the av-
erage life of our mechanics is esti-
mated at forty-six and half years,
and the average number of days
work performed in this climate is two
hundred and fifty days in the year.
Here is exhibited degree of atten-
ton to business, not equaled by any
other class. Out of three hundred
and thirteen working days in year,
only sixty-thrce are not devoted to
the mechanics trade. These sixty
three days are all that are required
(ont side Of Sunday for recreation,
sickness, pleasure, sport and private
business.
The average annual expense of a
mechanic in our cities, including
board and clothing, is about three
hundred dollars. Estimating three
dollars per day, he would earn in the
two hundred and fifty days, seven
hundred and fifty dollars. From
this deduct board and clothing, three
hundred dollars, and he has left four
hundred and fifty for keeping his
family, for amusement, for books, for
educational purposes and contingen-
cies. The average working years of
a mechanic are estimated at twenty,
which would make his gross earnings
in life time, on the basis above
named, fifteen thousand dollars.

H.n:IIsn Railroads.

The power of Parliament over railways,
writes an American in England. is indica-
ted by the exquisite manner in which they
are run. They are built very extrayagantly
and yield nothing TO stockholders. The
ordinary way stations look like lodges to
rountry gentleman's dwelling, and the sta
lions in the city are more elegant than the
palaces of her Majesty. 1t is felony to
cross track at Il station. If you want to
reach q train on the other side you must
either go over the bridge or under the
track Officials in uniform guard the gate,
and no one is allowed to enter the cars
without a ticket. For a person to ride in
Il first class car who has O second class
ticket, is fraud punishable by fine and
imprisonment. The switches are called
points These are carefully guarded. A
room elevated on tall posts completely
walled with glass is assigned to the hand
lers of the switches. In comfortable
room, carpeted, and in the winter warmed
and well lighted, the man who tends the
points has his position. He can see in every
direction, and there is no excuse if he does
not attend to his business. Elegant eating
rooms are connected with the station, and
reasonable charges are required by the
authorities. The trains come in one side
and go cut the other. Baggage is never
checked. The traveller must see his bag
gage on the van, anc if it is taken off at
the wrong station, which seldom happens,
he has no redress. A broad paved road is
found in every station, where the cabs
stand in line. There is no noise, confusion
Or solicitation on the part of cabmen. On
your arrival, the policeman asks you whether
you Will have cab or Hanson. The first
cab in the line takes your baggage, and
the rate is fixed by law for the distance
you ride. For first class coach on the
line the fare is probably higher than in
any other city in the world. The guards
are in uniform, and are usually verv civil.

North Carolina.

The position of North Carolina, simply
rs viewed upon the map, presents the most
favorable aspects. Near midway in the
temperate zone, with an extended line of
sea coast and numerous lengthy rivers, a
broad belt of beautiful alluvial and gently
nnduIating country, and glorious noun
tqin region to the West, it affords alto
gether greater variety Of soil and climate
than any other State can boast of.
It's lands, as a whole, afford to large and
email farmers as reasonable prospect of
successful cultivation as those in any part
of the United States.
It's quarries of marble, granite and soap

g.hile professional miners and men skilled
in metallurgy can realize the fullest scope
10 their labors.
Graziers, shepherds and apple-growers
viii find in its mountain ranges the choicest
region for sheep, cattle and horses, for
orchards and meadows. And health, and
pleasureseekers will find at its various re-
treats all that shattered and over worked
constitutions can require.
The Eastern sections afford all the best
and cheapest materials for ship-building.
rs soil is, III certain sections, peculiarly
adapted to the cultivation of cotton and
corn, while the advantages of mild eli
mate AMI quick transportation are con-
verting many hundreds of acres into vast
orchards, whey ards and gardens for those

Everywhere in this State the naturalist,
the botanist and the chemist are here in
their proper sphere, with every kind of

A Man Sawed Completely i'm Two.

Our city was yesterday the scene of one
of the most horrible accidents we have
ever been called upon to record. About
quarter past one o'clock, at Yenables Saw
Mill, on Third street, the hands were en-
gagged in placing log on the saw carriage,
Just as the saws were set in motion. A
young man, about twenty years old, who
had been engaged in taking the bark off
the log, was in the act of stepping on the
frame between the log and the saws, when
either being struck by the log as it moved
forward, or in some other way lit was i'm
possible to tell howl, he was caught by the
upper saw and drawn upon both of them.
The saws were then running with eighty
pounds of steam, and making over six hun
dred revolutions per minute and in less
time than it takes to record the fact, the
unfortunate man was sawed completely in
two, the two portions of the body falling
on different sides of the saw-frame. The
saws struck him in the left side, and pass
ing transversely upwards, came out be-
hind and little above the right shoulder
blade. The heart was in one portion of
the body and the lungs in the other. The
saws were, of course, stopped as speedily
as possible, but only TO find the mangled
remains lying on the floor of the mill, and
the tattered fragments of clothing and bits
of flesh clinging to them. It was shock
ing spectacle and one that made the very
heart sick to look upon. The name of the
unfortunate young man it has been impos-
sible to ascertain. He came from Virginia
City, Montana, and boarded at Mr.. Wills's
boarding house on Fourth street, and had
left carpet satchel at the Huxley House
The latter was examined and found to con-
tain nothing but an old novel and couple
of bottles of strychpine-the latter indica-
ting that he had been engaged in trap

a Man Kills His Wife with a Club

Says the Pittsburg Commercial of Tues
day:
A horrible murder occurred Monday
forenoon, about eight miles from West
Newton, Westmoreland county. A we'll
known farmer, in a moment Of sudden pas
sion or insanity, fractured his wife's skull
with huge club.
1t appears, from all the information we
were able to obtain, that the murderer,
whose name is Saml Morrow, is resident
of South Huntington township, Westmore-
land county: On Monday afternoon he
was at work in field near the house with
years of age. Mr.. Morrow left the field
and went to the house about 10 o'clock,
and soon after the young man heard his
mother screaming murder" On rushing
into the house he found her lying on the
kitchen floor, and his father beating her
in terrible manner with a large club
The young man interfered and endeavored
to wrest the club from the hands of his
enraged father, but was unsuccessful, the
old gentleman being a powerfully built
man, while the boy was slightly built, and
was obliged to retreat before the attacks
of the huge club. He ran for assistance.
but before he returned the cries of the
poor woman had ceased, and she was found
lying on the floor, life being extinct
There were large number of bruises on
her body, and her skull was fractured by
a terrific blow in the back of the head
The murderer has escaped, and it is sup
posed fled across the fields to the woods,
The affair produced great excitement in
the township, and twenty-five men turned
out to hunt the murderer, but as yet he
has succeeded in eluding arrest. He had
no hat or coat on at the time he left the
house.
Mr.. Morrow was man about ffty-five
years of age, and, it is stated, about two
years ago showed symptoms of insanity,
but was supposed to have entirely recoy.

The Paraguayan War.
Important from the Seat OF War-Signal
Success for the Paraguayans-Captur
OF an Entire Regiment and Annihila-

From the London Star of June l, we
obtain the following important informa
ton relative to the progress Of hostilities
in Paraguay
A Brazilian regiment of cavalry, in the
advanced guard of the allied army, had
been surprised on the moment of hating
and pasturing the horses, the whole reg!!-
ment, as well as an infantry picket which
was on the spot, being destroyed by Lo-
pez's troops. All were killed or taken prs
oners.
The expeditionary corps which landed
at Rosario was surprised, the greater part
being killed and taken prisoners by the
Paraguayans.
A gunboat which was towing up the
river Tebicuari chdta charged with pro
visions for the army was boarded by the
Paraguayans, who killed all the crew ana
took possession of the cargo OF the two
vessels.
The allied army was still in Luque.
