PUTTING CHILDREN TO SLEEP.-Putting
child away to sleep, without rocking or sooth-
ing, is good only for robust and healthy chill
dren. For the delicate, nervous kind have
spoken of, it is cruel, and it is dangerous. We
know one authentic instance of a mother who
was trained to believe it her duty to put her
infant to bed in q lonely chamber and leave it.
Not daring to trust herself in the ordeal, she
put on her bonnet, and, positively forbidding
the servants to go near the child, went out for
q walk When she returned the child was still
and had been SO for some time. She went up
to examine The child had struggled violently,
thrown itself over on its face, pillow had
fallen over it, and it was dead from sutfocation.
Nervous children suffer untold agonies from
fear when put to bed alone. No tongue can
tell the horrors of lonely room to such chill
dren. A little, delicate boy, whom his parents
were drilling to sleep alone, used to cry vio-
lently every night, and his father would go in
and whip him. He mistook the pertinacity for
obstinacy, and thought it his duty to conquer
the child's will. One night he said: "Why do
you always scream so when you know you will
be punished ?" 90, father, father" said the
little fellow, "I don't mind your whipping me,
if you'll only stay with me-" That fathers
eyes were opened from that moment. He saw
that human being cannot be governed by
dead rules, like dead plant or an ANIMAL
Hearth and Home.

THROWING THE BLAME ON CUFFEE.-The
white men of the Ring are getting very much
ashamed of having had the sneak Whittemore
as chief cook and bottle-washer of their State
Convention, and are sending North all sorts of
excuses for the disgraceful proceeding. They
are now trying to make the black man the
scapegoat of Whittemore's sins. Witness the
following special despatch from Washington
July 29) to the New York Erening Post, a
Radical sheet:
at appears that the cause of Whittcmores
prominence in the late Republican State Con-
vention of South Carolina was not the work of
delegates, the better class Of achom scere greatly
disguised, but the positions to which he was as
signed, namely, chairman of the Committee on
Credentials and chairman of the Committee on
Resolutions, were by appointment Of the presi-
ding officer, negro and one of Whittemores
strongest supporters"

A MOTHERS INFLUENcE.-How touching is
this tribute of Hon. T. II. Benton, to his moth
er's influence "My mother asked me never to
use tobacco; have never touched it from that
time to the present day. She asked me not to
gamble, and have never gambled; l cannot
tell who is losing in games that are being played.
She admonished me, too, against hard drinking (;
and whatever capacity for endurance have at
present, and whatever usefulness have attained
through life, I attribute to having complied
with her pious and correct wishes. When 1
was seven years old she asked me not to drink,
and then | made a resolution of total absti-
nence; and that have adhered to it through
all time l owe to my mother"

INCREASE OF CR1ME-The Boston Post
makes the following comment upon the present
condition of the country. They indicate the
existence in the North especially, of a bad state
of society:
"Whatever wars rage elsewhere, the war of
violent passions goes on in this country at a
rate absolutely appalling. Never in our histo-
ry did the press TEEN with such constant sue
cession of reports of inhuman and bloody
deeds-murders, suicides, arson, and their long
line of legitimate kin. The last shock of this
kind is caused by the mysterious murder of an
old, respectable and retired New York merchant.
He was found dead in his bed, ,hisskull crushed,
and with every proof of the assassin's bloody
work fresh about him. The bankers of Wall
street offer reward of ten thousand dollars for
the discovery of the criminal which should be
increased ten fold rather than suffer deed of
such enormity to go unpunished Is it in re-
laxed state of social morals, or is it in the at
mosphcre, that this insane riot of human pas
sion has its origin? Certainly the state of
things is unprecedented, and it is obvious that
some restraining power is wanted more than
the inefficient influence of threatened penalties.
1t will not take long for the current rage OF
violent passion to wash away the very buttress-
es of the social state"

MILE. CHRISTINE NIIssoN.-Chirstine Nils
son is the name of the new Swedish nightin-
gale who is creating rs much fnror in Europe
as did her distinguished predecessor, Jenny
Lind. Her parents were humble peasants. Be
fore ten years of age. her musical abilities were
asserted in various ways. Accompanying her
voice with the violin, she attracted much at
tention at fairs and other public places After
resisting various offers from travelling players
to accompany them, the Baroness of Lcnhusen,
once celebrated in her country as singer under
the name of Mile. Valerius, took her in charge
and gave her lessons in music. At Stockholm,
she studied under Franz Barnald where she at
tracted the attention of royalty. Thence she
was sent by her patrons to Paris to complete
her musical education under Wartel, ga very
Warwick of his craft, q true Divamaker." In
her first appearance before French audience
in Paris in 1864, she Mt once established the
reputation as the best living Diva Of the lyric
stage.
EstimabIc by virtue of her accomplishments
and of the high position her genius has secured,
she is no less to be admired for the modesty and
gentleness with which she wears her honors.
She clears her faculties so meek" that to know
her in private is to merge admiration of tho
gifted artist into esteem for the unassuming wo-
man.
This Swedish nightingale is to make appear
ance in New York in the second week in Sep
tember, under an engagement with Mr.. Max
Strakosch.

COTTON CULTIVATION IN CENTRAL ASIA
The Russian hyald publishes some informa-
ton on the cultivation of cotton in Central
Asia. In the vicinity OF Tasehkend, it says,
there are large cotton fields, and the American
cotton plant has also been lately grown there,
though as yet with little success. The best
cotton in Central Asia is that produced in Box
hara, some sorts of which are nearly equal in
quality to American cotton. A great deal OF
cotton is also cultivated in Khokand, and es-
pecially in Khiva; there are also few fields in
Northern Turkistan. The value of the cotton
of Bokhara is much diminished by the Insult.
cheney of the materials used in cleaning it. Its
price at Taschkend is now 5roubles so kopees
1about 14c) per pound: Russia imports from
the above countries large quantities of raw
cotton, part of which is sent back manufactured
The importation of cotton is now nine times
as great as it was eleven years ago. The total
quantity produced in Central Asia is upwards
Of 100000 pounds.

The WEALTH OF New YoRK.-Every year
New York adds from seventy-fve to hundred
millions to its bank account. 1t can now claim
to be worth according the official account, over
81, 900 900 900. The real estate valuation fol
1870 is S742 100000 and the personal estate is
$3.50, 100000 There is besides, in the official
table, an item of $4,000, 900 set down to share
holders in banks, which brings the aggregate
wealth of the city considerably above thous-
and millions. But it is really much more than
the official figures show. The basis of real es-
tate valuation is that fixed by the Tax Com
missioners, and this is far below the market
basis. The actual value of the house and lot
property on Manhattan Island, according to the
present selling prices, is not less than 81 50O,-
900. The personal estate amounts to great
deal more-thirty per cent at least-than the
owners ever confess. The official return OF
bank property may be all right, but the returns
of real. and personal estates are certainly much
below the mark The whole value of property
in New York city is probably not less than
S1,800000,000. The increase last year was
$50, 100000, which was less than the increase
the year before And New York does not boast
of it either. 1t does not go around Dragging
about its riches and making other cities
feel envious and ill-natured. 1t just pitches
into every sort of enjoyment spends its money
freely, and acts all through on the principle Of
ego it while you're young" If New York,
Brooklyn, Jersey City and their general sub
urbs could convert their property into cash,
they could pay off the whole national blessing
and have enough left for champagne supper.
But they don't mean to do anything of that
sort. They are too generous to deprive other
places of their portion of the great blessing,
and hardly think they are quiet 'loil''
enough to take it all on their own shoulders,
anyway.-Cor. Boston Post.

The PhOsphates.
HUMAN BONES AS FERTILIZERS.

The manufacturers of phosphate of lime for
artificial manures, generally employ for this
purpose the bones OF animals. In this country
the battle-felds Of the late war have furnished
large quantities of horses bones. Sometimes
human bones are accidentally collected among
the rest; but the care and reverence with
which the dead on both sides have been buried,
prevent such unpleasant occurrences almost
entirely. Not long ago much Indignation was
caused in England by the report that cargoes
of human as we'll as animal bones were shipped
from the Crimea to the British manufacturers.
How much foundation there was for the story,
we do not know Certainly the objection of
civilized people to seeing the remains OF their
| fellOw-cltlzens or ancestors Drought INTO COM
merce is most natural.
be satisfied with the supply of the bones OF
animals, either because it is not adequate to the
demand or because its scattered sources and
the consequent expense of collection leave too
little margin of profit. They have at last
found country rich in bones, and possessed
of a population not too scrupulous to sell
them The mummy-pits of Egypt, containing
thousands of tons of the bones of ancient
Egyptians, are now worked" on large scale
The bones are dug, claimed and sifted, packed
in bags or bundles of 200 pounds each, slung
to the sides of camels, and transported to Alex
andria; where they are shipped to England
The business affords brisk trade to the modern
Egyptians, and employs large number of the
population, in justice to whom, we should add
that they are probably not descendants of the
venerable worthless whose relics they put to
such base uses.
1t is curious to reflect that the phosphate OF
lime which once formed the frame of mem
Der of the Egyptian aristocracy, should after
quiet repose of some thousands of years enter
upon new career of usefulness in distant
land as an excellent manure for turnips and
other garden vegetables, which. may in turn
furnish the necessary phosphate of lime to give
backbone to the British aristocracy. Great
Caesar stopping hole to keep the wind away,
is nothing in comparison
What future tradesmen will grow rich and
what future turnips thrive, We wonder, on the
tombs of Westminster and St. Paul's, or the
vaults of Cologne Cathedral, Or the ghastly
sepulchre of the Capuchins at Rome? The
more carefully the bones of the great or the
sainted are preserved. the less likely. would ii
appear, are they to rest in peace.-Afanufactu-

TExAs.-It is estimated that over one hun
drcd thousand immigrants have entered Texas
within the last twelve months. and during last
December over one thousand five hundred per-
sons came daily into the State. The crops this
summer, it is believed, will be double those of
last year. Tie hilly regions of the western
part of the State are very healthy, but the per-
sons who settle on the low, fiat lands, and use
the water CT the streams, are liable to chills
and fever, and the inhahitants of the coast
cities are subject to yellow fever. Labor is in
great demand in the agricultural districts, and
farm hands receive from S15 to $40 month
and their board. During the contemplating
season they are paid from $3.50 to So day and
board. In the cities journeymen mechanics
arc paid from $3.50 to S. day.

TEARING A WILL TO PIEcEs.-The San
Francisco Californian publishes the following
curious story about lady of that State, who
became angry at being disinherited, and tore
her fathers will to pieces
A few days ago an old Californian died in an
adjoining town, leaving somewhere in the
neighborhood of 81 100000 worth of property,
as it was generally supposed, to his only daugh-
ter, the wife of a highly respectable citizen.
But after the burial had taken place the will OF
the dead man was brought to light and read to
the daughter and number of those who were
employed by the testator during his life time.
1t then became evident that the father had cut
the daughter off without shilling, and that
he had bequeathed all his vast estate to per-
sons who had been his employees, his compan-
ions, &c. When the will was read, and the
daughter learned that she had been robbed OF
her just inheritance, she flew into passion,
and seizing the will tore it in pieces. This
action caused considerable CONSERVATION; and
our informant states that the grand jury of the
diately referred to them, and the daughter in
dicted for her hasty and imprudent action.
Our informant says that ten or twelve years
ago the daughter married her present husband
in opposition to the wishes of her father, who
swore that he would never forgive her, and
while laboring under his passion he made his
will. The coolness between the father and
daughter lasted for several days, and then a
reconciliation took place, and the one act OF
disobedience was forgotten and forgiven. The
daughter and her husband became frequent
visitors at the old mans house, and were with
him during his last illness and when he died.
They, as well as others, supposed that the will
disinheriting the daughter had been destroyed,
but it appears that the father had either for
gotten or neglected to tear it up.

THE LATE BENZ. FRANKLIN.-This party
was one of those persons whom we call phi
losophers. His maxims were full of animosity
toward boys. Nowadays, a boy cannot follow
out single natural instinct without tumbling
over some of these everlasting aphorisms and
hearing from Franklin on the spot. If he
buys two cents worth of peanuts, his father
says: Remember what Zen. Franklin has
said son. "A great days ps31y year.

virtuous action he never gets anything for it,
because, 'eVirtue is its own reward" And

natural rest, because Franklin once said, in one
of his inspired flights of malignity:
