RonK.-Archbish0p Spalding yesterday deliv-
cred sermon in Baltimore as to the situation
at Rome. in the course of which he denounced
Victor Emmanuel, Garibaldi and Mazzini.
Accompanying the invading army Of Italy, he
said, were five or six thousand camp followers,
composed Of the vilest Of the vile. Their first
cry was, "Open the prison!" which was done,
and every species Of robbery and villainy was
INDUCED in. Four priests were stabbed in one
day and night. One Sister OF Charity who was
aiding q wounded soldier, was assaulted, and
with the soldier thrown into the Tiber. One
bishop was almost murdered. These outrages
were not noticed In the newspaper. The men
who favor this despoliation called themselves
liberals, but they are assassins and infdels. He
had seen that the spirit Of hatred to the Church
through the South Of France and in Italy. Such
men speak in praise Of the great United States
Of America. He told some Of them that here we
have liberty regulated by law, not liberty
without license, and that they did not ur der

Curiosities of Breathing.


The taller men are, other things being
equal, the more lungs they have, and the
greater number of cubic inches of air thoy
can Ia e IN or deliver at q single breath.
1t is thought that mans lungs arc sound
and we'll developed, in proportion to the
girth around the chest; yet observation
shows that slim men, as n rule, will run
faster and farther, with less fatigue, hav-
ing "morc wind, than stout men. If two
persons are taken in all res poets alike, ex.
cept that one measures twelve inches more
around the chest than the other, the one
having the excess will not deliver more air
at one full breath, by mathematical mea-
suremenf, than the other.
The more air n man receives into his
lungs in ordinary breathing, the more heal
thy he is likely to be; because an inpor-
tant object in breathing is to remove i'm
puritles from the blood. Each breath is
drawn pure into the lungs on its outgo-
Tag the next instant, it is 50 impure, so
perfectly destitute of nourishment, that, if
rebreathed without any admixturc of pure
atmosphere, the man would die. Hence,
one OF the conditions necessary to secure a
high state Of health is, that the rooms in
which we sleep should bo constantly re-
ceiving new supplies Of fresh air through
open doors, windows, or fire places.
1t persons lungs are not we'll develop

BONE
SUPER PHOSPHATE.

The best and most popular Fertilizer in use.
Quick and active as Peruvian Guauo, and
permanently improves the soil.
It stands the drought better than any other
Fertilizer, which is very important to the far
mer.
It is manufactured of Bones, Animal Matter
and q rich Phosphate Guano, containing over
sixty per cent. of Bone Phosphate of Lime,
treated with Sulphuric Acid, and 10 to 10 per
cent Bone Phosphate Of Lime rendered sou-
ble at the same time rendered quick in its &C.
ton by the addition of over 2 per cent OF Am
monis.
This superior Phosphate has now been tested
for over FIVE years, on all kinds of crops, BY the
side of all known Fertilizers, proved equal to
the best, and has given all the general sstlstsc-
ton that could be desired.
For this valuable Fertilizer We only ask a
trial side by side with any Fertilizer in the
market to attest its superiority.
Every farmer should give it a trial, ss the
cost will be more than repaid the first year, and
its beneficial effects lasting.
For Corn, Oats, Wheat, Rye or Grass, it has
no superior.
Zell's Phosphate is fine and dry for drilling,
and is put up in bags or barrels.
Price $50 per ton of 1000 lbs.
Send for circular, and read the certificates
of some of the best farmers in Virginia who
attest its superiority ove- all other Fertilizers.
