QheGntelt1qeurer:
a Slain ON our CIvIllEatton.

Tom Allen the, English knight Of
the fistic ring, being conceded the vic.
tor in the encounter with McCoole near
st. Louis Tuesday, is now challenged
for another fight by one ,Gallaher. It
is a lamentable fact that there are
plenty of people in oil our States and
communities who delight in these
brutal and degrading exhibitions. II
is sad commentary on our boasted
refinement and culture, that 1t is so.
The brutalities of the prize ring are
winked at by the officers OF the law
and countenanced (by the interest man
ifested in them if in no more obvious
way) by men who rank as moral
and exemplary citizens. While there
is so large rnffainly element
in the country, and such an appetite
for these coarse amusements, means
will be found TO evade the law and
feed the appetite. But it does not fol-
low that all effort to suppress these
barbarities are therefore tobe foreborne.
SO far from it, duty to society requires
that the vigilance OF all those entrust-
ed with the prevention of such offences
should be all the greater. No laws can
be effective that are not supported by
public sentiment; and so it is
vain TO hope that the savagery
of the prizs ring will cease so
long as enough people countenance it
to render it safe for the officers of the
law to connive at it. II ought not to
be possible for such Il prizs- fight as
that cf Tuesday 10 traosPire on the soil
of the United States, for IL has been a
matter OF notoriety for weeks. Every
body engaged in promoting il ought to
have been arrested long since. But, no {;
the respectable" people of st. Louis
were just As eager for it to cotne off as
the roughs, and there was no moral
sentiment there Cat least not enougb) to
compel the authorities to enforce the
law and prevent the encounter.

(" Enbor-SayinE" Implements.

Labor-saving implements were once
thought to be destructive to the interest OF
the workingman just in proportion as they
saved the drudgery of labor. This seems
reasonable at first, but little thought will
correct the error. How, then, do the farm
laborers thrown out of work by the intro
duction of improved implements ultimately
find work Plainly by the increased amount
of tillage which machinery and tools make
possible in the country. In section where
all the soil is under cultivation of some
kind it leads to more thorough systems OF
farming. In the case of our own country il
leads to the faster extension Of civilization
westward, the rapid subjugation of wild
land, and the better cultivation of that
already under the pillow. For instance, the
western grain-grower who now devotes
eeventy-fve to one hundred and fifty acres
to corn and other crops with the meagre
facilities of thirty years ago could not have
managed fourth part that amount in
similar manner. This increase of agricul-
ture not only keeps good the original num-
Der of farm laborers, but creates new
demand for laborers in every other field of
indu stry.-American Agriculturist.

Mechanical Ingenuity of Farmers.

One of the component parts Of a good
farmer is mechanical! ingenuity. Some lose
half days time for want of knowing how
to, repair breakage which an ingenious
person could do in five minutes. A team
and two or three men are sometimes stopped
a whole day at q critical season for want OF
q little mechanical skill. 1t is we'll for
every farmer to have ut hand the facilities
for repairing. In addition to the more
common tools, he should keep supply of
nails Of different sizes, screws, bolts, and
nuts. Common cut nails are too brittle for
repairing implements or for other similar
purposes. Buy only the very best, and anneal
them, and they will answer all the ordinary
purposes of the best wrought nails. To
anneal them, all that is necessary is to heat
them red-hot in common fire and cool
gradually. Let them cool, for instance, by
remaining in the fire while it burns down
and goes out. One such nail, well clinched,
will be worth half dozen unannealed.
Nothing is more common than for farmer
to visit the blacksmith's shop to get a
broken or lost bolt or rivet inserted, and
often single nut on bolt. This must be
paid for, and much time is lost. By pro-
viding a supply of bolts, nuts, and rivets,
much time and trouble may be saved.
They may be purchased wholesale at low
rate. These should ell be kept in shallow
boxes, with compartments made for, the
purpose, furnished with bow-handle for
convenience in carrying them. One box
with half dozen divisions may be appro-
priated to nails of different sizes, and an
other, with as many compartments, to
screws, bolts, rivets, etc. Every farmer
should keep on hand supply Of copper wire
and small pieces of sheet copper or copper
straps. Copper wire is better than an
nealed iron wire. 1t is almost as flexible
as twiue, and may be bent and twisted IS
desired and it will not rust. Copper
straps nailed across or around fracture or
split in wooden article will strengthen it
in q thorough manner.-Rural Afairs.

In which they worship-which was erected

and which was regarded as one of the chastest
and most elegant buildings Of the kind in
the south-was totally destroyed by fire
shortly after the occupation Of the city by
the Federal army. In the dead Of night the
steeple was struck by thunderbolt, caus-
ing the inside work to take fire almost az
the very summit. For hours blaze issued
from the top, looking ct q little distance
more like large meteor than o house on
fire. At such distance from the ground
the FIRE was entirely inaccessible, ana there
was no alternative but to let it make l's
way downward by degrees till it reached
the body Of the building. The consequence
was the total destruction OF TINS elegant
structure and moreover there was no IN
surance on it, the policy having untor-
tunately, in the unsettled state OF analrs'
been suffered to expire. Nothing was le,'
standing but the bare walls. Undlsmayeo'
however, by this heavy calamity-at a
fine, too, when many Of the members had
been impoverished by the results OF the
war-the congregation resolved on the
restoration of their house OF worship, ano
by dint Of exertion succeeded IN raising
money enough to complete the main audi
ence room. The basement remained I'M
finished until month or two ago, when
subscription was raised among the members
for replacing the floor and putting In the
windows. But no steps have been taken to
rebuild the spire, while the church Is still
in debt for what has already been done to
the amount of about So 900. 1t is to assist
in lessening this Indebtedness that MIR.
Hatcher will repeat his lecture in Rich
mond.
Apart from the noble object of relieving
a worthy congregation which has been en-
comprised with peculiar difficulties, the
literary merits of the lecture are OF very
high order, and worth more than the fee OF
admission. 1t abounds in exquisite satire,
and Mr.. Hatcher is the man to give it point
in the delivery. 1t was delivered some
time since in the First Baptist church for
the benefit of the Second church, and was
received with 80 much applause by large
and intellectual audience that be has had
numerous invitations to repeat it. 1t is
hoped that Mr.. Hatcher will be greeted IN
the metropolis by d crowded attendance.
