A TOUCHING SCENE.-The local ed
itor of the Ohio Statesman gracefully
narrates a touching incident Of the
decoration at the cemetery on Satur-.
day:
Apart from the FIVE hundred in the.
great. enclosure, there were scattered
throughout the cemetery about fifty
graves, in which were deposited the
remains of those who had sacrificed life
in defence Ofthe nations honor. These
graves were also tastefulIy decorated,
some of them in the most elaborate
manner, and here were witnessed the
most tOuching scenes Of the day. On
a little eminence in the southeastern
portion of the cemetery, quietly shaded
by Overhanging branches Ofevergreens.
we saw a mod, st haadstOne over which
hung wreath Of surprising lOveliness.
Kmpeling at the head Of the grave, al
broken-hearted woman, encircled inI
her arms her children, a bright little
boy of tender years and a beautiful girl
of twelve. There were no audible
sounds Of grief. 1t was of that deep,
untold nature that only can be felt by
the sufferer herself. While in this at
titude of quiet remembrance and heart
felt devotion to the remains of him
who had been cut off, a troupe ofgiFls
approached, singing in sweet, low
strains a funeral dirpe. and each bear
ing in her hand modest wreath of
flowers. They apI reached the mourn
ing ones and silently deposited their
offerings on the grave. This broke up
the fountains in the mothers heart,
and with wall of anguish she threw
herself over the grave of her husband
and gave vent to her feelings. We
turned away from The scene, only to
encounter Others Of similar nature in
many localities throughout the eeme-
terry. ra7 h rIE1 EassJ 5.r

Yeast for Hot Weather.

F The subjOined recipe for yeast adaP-
ted to hot weather or hot climates is
given in Morgan's Trade Journal:
Boil two ounces of the best hops in
four quarts of water for half an hour;
strain it, and let the ligour cool down
to a new milk warmth. Then put in
a small handful of salt and half
pound of sugar (brOwn1 beat up one
pound of the best flour with some of
the liquor, and mix all well together.
The third day add three pounds Of po-
tatOes, boiled and mashed, and let it
stand until the next day. Then
strain, and it is ready for use.
Stir frequently while. making, and
keep near a fire. Before. using, stir
well. It will keep two or three
months in a cool place. er s.rr
l kept this two months in the cellar,
where. the thermometer. ranged be-
tween 90 and 104 degrees. a'i

Whitewash.

A little whitewash, says the Boston
Journal Of Chemistry, will do a great
amount of good; but a full supply,
enough to cover the inside Of barns,
stables, cellars, etc, with two good
coatings, is much better. -,.
The lime which enters into this
composition Is a purifying agent, and
the wash serves as a disinfectant. The
benefits conferred in this regard, COM
pensate for all the labor and expense
involved in whitewashing; but the
clean, tidy appearance which it givestO
farm premises is most pleasing and
salutaIy. In 10 way can a farmer
make so imposing and even elegant
show for trihing expenditure as by a
free use of whitewash. Even old
buildings glow and glisten under the
whitewash brush. and assume a new
appearance. Buildings, in the eye Of
the owner, as we'll as those Of bis
neighbors, have a higher money val
ue after the process is completed.

Games orCbancC.

r Games of chance are the great curse
of young men. 1t is a crime thus to
waste the. precious moments of youth.
These games do not rest the mind Of
the student, but only increase its wea-
riness. They are more severe upon
the brain than the study Of Mathe-
matics. If you want relaxation, go
into the open air. Play ball, jump,
run foot-races, or what is much better,
walk. Not few squares about town,
but strike out into the country. Walk
four miles out each morning, and
back. That will take two hours,
Just try it and see how it will invigor-
ate both mind and body, and prepare
YOU for great mental Labor.

Clean The Cellar.
The Boston Journal of Chemistry
soyss

The Boston Journal of Chemistry
says: -- .,.- s-..-- -r.....
Diphtheria, typhoid and scarlet fe-
vers, and many other most serious i'll
nesses have their origin in cellars both
in city and country and I'VE can do
our readers no greater service than to
urge them to see that, at all times,
they are in a dry, sweet, wholesome
condition. Why should farmers and
farmers families, living in the cOun-
try, away from the pestilential vapOrs
Of the cities, be so subject to attacks of
malignant diseases ? There is a rea-
son for il, and we can point it out.
They arise from the Indifference man
ifested to the observance OfhygipBic
rules and the violation of sanitary
laws. Cleanliness is essential to health,
and it is just as necessary in the eoun-
try as in the city. A family living
over a foul cellar is more liable to be
poisoned and afflicted with illness than
a city family living in its polluted at
mosphere, but without cellar or base
ment filled with fermenting roots and
fruits. There is far more sickness in
the country among husbandmen than
there ought to be. With plenty of
pure air, water, and exercise, the evil
imp, disease, ought to be kept at bay ;
and he would be better ifah Observance
of certain hygienic conditions were
maintained. Bad conditioned cellars,
small, close sleeping rooms, stoves
these are all agents Of evil, and are
fast making the homes Of farmers al
most as unhealthy as those of the
dwellers in the cities. Are not these
suggestions worthy of consideration?

ASinguIarCa

a great deal of talk has been excl
ted in Houston, Texas, by the follow
ing singular circumstances which Oc-
Cured in that vicinity. On Tuesday
night at an early hour, a carpenter,
who had been in i'll health for some
time past, to all appearance died.
There was not a sign of animation
left he was pronounced dead by his
attendant physician, was dressed in
grave clothes and laid out for burial.
His friends in, Galveston were. teIe-
graphed to attend his funeral. 1t was
about P. NJ. when he was prOnOun-
ced dead and preparations began for
his burial. f.s a5.... p ..,.- .t..~
About daybreak the following morn
ing he suddenly rosein his bed; without
giving, up to that time, a single indi-
cation of life. He was unable to
speak, pulseless, cold, and with the
exception that he was able to sit up
right and move his arms and hands,
still appeared a corpse. Not the faint
est respiration could be discovered, nor
did the eyes open, or give any indication
but death. His physician was sent for,
who, on entering the room, was
utterly befuddled at the singular case.
Restoratives, stimulants and every
thing else likely to be of service was
applied; but the breath refused to re-
turn, the pulse to beat, and the body
to grow warm. The muscular power
to rise in bed and move the limbs
continued, and was exercised frequent
tly during about five hours, when they
also apparently ceased forever, and the
carpenter was left as perfect a speci-
men of a corpse as could possibly be.
Has such a case. as above related ev-
er been heard of before? About mid
day he was buried. Was he alive
when he arose in his bed Probably

Influence of Schools and News
papers,

In the colonial days the English
government addressed certain ques-
tions to the American colonies, res
pecting their condition. In answer to
one of these, the Governor of Connect
icut replied that one fourth of her in
come was expended in the mainte-
nance of public schools. The Cover
nor of Virginia replied: 81 thank God
there are. no free schools nor prin-
ting, and 1 hope we shall not have
them these. hundred years" The
fruit has been like the planting. In
1850 three-fUurths of the children of
Connecticut were attending public
schools, while nine-tenths of the chill
dren of Virginia were suffered by the
State to grow up in ignorance. In that
year the free States of Ohio, Indiana,
and Illinois sent seven-ninths of their
children to the common schools, while

Whitewash-Ils Preparation.


How refreshing and full of delight to the
eye is the contrast between the living
green of the well-kept sward, shrubbery,
and trees, and the snOW-white dwelling,
outbuildings, and fencesI Philosophy
teaches thar beauty first addresses it5elftO
the eye. From this fact we learn the inn
pOrtance of Identifying our homes. We
clip the following article on Whitewash and
its preparation from the Chemical JOurnal,
a paper posted on the subject. and would
commend it to the attention of the readers
ofthe News:
"WhiteWash is one Of the most val
liable articles in the world when prOprIy
applied. It not only prevents the decay
Of wood, hut cOnduces greatly to the
healthfulness of all buildings whether
wood or stone. Out-buiIdings and fence,
when not painted, should be supplied
once or twice year with a good coat of
whitewash, which should be prepared in
the following way: Take a clean water
tight barrel; or suitable easlI, and put into
it half bushel of lime. Slack it by pour
ing water over it boiling hot, and in sufi-
cient quantity to cover it five inches deep,
and stir il briskly till thoroughly Stacked.
When the Stacking has been thoroughly
effected, dissolve it in water, and add two
pounds of sulphate of zinc and one of COM
mon salt; these will cause the wash to har-
den, and prevent It cracking, which gives
an unseenly appearance to the work. If
desirable, a-beautiful cream color may be
communicated to the above wash BY ad-
ding three pOundsOf yellow Ochre, OF a
good pearl or lead color, by the addition of
lamp, vine, or ivory black. For fawn
color, add four pounds Of umber, Turkish
or American-the latter is the cheapest,
one pound Of Indian red, one pound of
common lampblacIl. For common stone
color, add four pounds of raw umber and
two pounds oflanpblaeB. This wash may
be applied with a common whiteWHsh
brush, and will be found much superior
both in appearance and durability to the
common WhiteWash.'' Hsf als He.LA

Admiral Porter has written a letter en-
couraging aquatic sports. The Admiral is
anxious that the exercise of boating should
become general in the navy, not only be-
cause it is a sensible, manly and strength
ening amusement, but because in time of
war fast rowing crew may become of Vi
tai Importance. There is no reasOn," he
says, "why ships Of war should be fitted
with dull pulling boats when they can
have fast ones, and the only way to find
out what our boats are worth is to try
them with those of foreign navies." az
