meeting Of the Commune, yesterday, it
was demanded that the deputies from
Paris to the Versailles Assembly should
resign Immediately upon pain OF out
lawry or death.
In the British House of Commons,
on the evening of the 9th instant,
Earl Mail, the member for Bradford,
moved for the establishment of
the Church of England, and supported
the motion in speech marked by
ability and great eloquence. Henry
Austin Bruce, Home Secretary, and
Rounded Palmer defended the Church
Of England from the assault OF the
member from Bradford, and opposed
the resolution. Edward Aldom Leath-
am, member from Hudderstield, advo-
Gated the resolution, and referred to the
prosperity of the Episcopal Church in
America rs an argument for the dis
establishment of the Church of Eng
land. Dsraeli thought that France,
and not America, should be looked to
for proper examples. He implored the
House to disregard the advice of philo-
sophers and doctrinarians, who were
constantly assailing the Church. He
believed a plebiScit,m would confirm the
Church in its position. Gladstone sus-
tanned the views of Disraeli, and brought
forward fresh arguments in favor of the
present established Church. Upon a
division of the House there was ma
jority of 2S5 against the resolution.
Miscellaneous.
1t is reported from Washington
that the Internal Revenue Depart
ment is to dispense with Tees spirit
meter.
A Washington dispatch of the 9th
inst. says: The semi-oiiicial synopsis
of the Anglo-American treaty is pub
lished here, by the authority of the
State Department, this morning. 1t is
variously commented upon. There are
three points in the treaty likely to meet
with opposition First, the manner OF
adjudication of the English claims, and
the virtual renewal of the reciprocity
treaty of 1854 with Canada and, sec
ond, the arbitrament of the question OF
payment of money for fishing privi
leges. The two latter, it is understood
will be strongly opposed by the New
England and Western Senators. Mr.
Sumner only received a copy of the
treaty yesterday, and of course has MOI
had an opportunity of determining
what course he will take. He will no
oppose the treaty as whole, but vii
insist upon the amendment of those ar
ticles which do not meet his approba
ton. He will be supported in this by
sufficient number Of Senators to amenC
it in several particulars.

COMPUTING DRESSED WEIGHT.-The
rule for computing the dressed weight,
by measurement, of cattle, hogs, and
sheep, is this Ascertain the girth in
inches back of the shoulders, and the
length in inches from the straight or
square of the buttocks to point even
with the shoulder blade. Multiply the
girth by the length, and divide the pro-
duct by l44 for the superficial feet, and
then multiply the superficial feet by
one Of the following numbers for ami
mails of different girths, and the product
will be the number of pounds of beef,
pork, or mutton in the four quarters OF
the animal.
For cattle of oirth from 5 to feet,
allow % pounds to the superficial foot
of girth of from to 9 feet, allow 8
pounds; of a girth of 3 to 5 feet, 10
pounds.
For sheep, hogs or pigs, calves, etc,
measuring less than feet girth, allow
4 pounds to the superficial foot.
Here is an example which will illus
trate the rule: A hog girths feet 3

Why DO Animals Need Salt.

Prof. James f. Johnson, of Scotland,
says that half the saline matter of the
blood (57 per cent consists of common
salt, and as this partly dissolved every
day through the skin and kidneys, the
necessity of continued supplies of it to
the healthy body is sufficiently obvious.
The bile also contains soda lone of the
ingredients of SALT as special and in
dispensible constituent, and SO do all
the cartilages of the body. Stint the
supply of salt, and neither will the bile
be able properly to assist digestion,
cartilages to be built up again as fast as
they naturally waste. 1t is better to
place salt where stock can have free ac-
cess to it, than to give it occasionally in
small quantities. They will help them
selves to what they need if allowed to
do so at pleasure, otherwise when they
become salt hungry, they may take
more than is wholesome.

Report from the Explorers for Route
for an ISthmuS Shin Canal.

A special correspondent with the Da-
rien surveying expedition sends full de-
tails regarding their operations, under
date Of April %. Although the survey
of the Napipe route has not resulted
favorably, it is hoped it would still be
practicable 1t will undoubtedly be
found that ultimately the distance from
Cupica bay to Atrato, along the bends
Of the Napipe river is GO ID miles in a
straight line. Only twenty miles from
Atrato, the Napipe river flows through
a mountainous country for about thir-
teen miles from the foot of the divide,
and is supplied from the Doguado river
as a tributary. 1t is proposed to make
thirteen locks from Doguado, eighteen
miles from Atrato to the divide then
tunnel through and descend to the Pa
cific by nine locks. The survey occu-
pied twenty-seven days. No intelli-
gence has been received from the ex-
plorers up the Cue. 1t is certain they
have met the party following the paro-
nicheta river from Atrato. The eleva-
ton in that direction is likely 10 exceed
that previously announced, in regarding
the route ria Tuyara as impracticable.
The party will return as they came.
Those on this side intended drawing a
line from the head-waters OF the Cue.
Great hardships have been experienced
by the party moving along that river.
Two-thirds of the men are down with
fever. Over twenty-seven are under
treatment at Roca, Papa. Only four
men and an officer were able to advance
to the divide. The entire party will
return to Resaca in fortnight. 1t is
still hoped that the route via Tuyara will
prove successful.

WHEN TO PLANT CoRN.--A CORRESPOND

WHEN TO PLANT CoRN.--A correspond
ent of the Prairie Farmer says corn
should never be planted when the
ground is cold. If the thermometer
has ranged from 700 to so for two days
in succession, he thinks it safe to plant
in dry ground but when the thermom-
eter stands below 600 he thinks corn
better out of than in the ground.

CELERY.-Many persons become 50
much affected with nervousness, that
the least annoyance greatly agitates
them, and when they stretch out their
hands they shake like aspen leaves on
windy days. BY a daily, moderate use
of the blanched stalks of celery rs a
salad, they may become as strong and
steady in limbs as other persons Every
one engaged in labor weakening to the
nerves or afflicted with palpitation of
the heart, should use celery daily in

FEEDING Mich Cows-A dairy farmer
states that in June, 1868, he sowed an
acre Of corn in drills, and on the first
Of July commenced cutting and feeding
to twenty-six COWS, daily. When the
September rains came he omitted the
corn fodder for some days, and the con-
sequence was decrease in the yield of
milk of fifty-two pounds per day, or an
average decrease Of two pounds per
cow. The corn feeding being resumed,
the COWS, in four days, regained their
usual yield.-Agr. Report.

JOHN CHINAMAN \ COOP SHOEMAKER -
A former resident Of New Bedford, who
has recently visited North Adams,
Mass, interviewed Mr.. Sampson, the
shoe manufactures, who runs coolie
factory and that gentleman (says the
New Bedford Standard states that his
experiment is so successful that he in
tends to import fifty more Chinese,
increasing the number to l25. Before
the first shipment arrived his business
had barely held its own, but now it is
largely profitable. The Chinese are
very apt in learning the business, and
some of the Caucasians whom he has
since employed have left in disgust be-
cause the Chinese were more rapid
workmen than themselves. They aver
age about one-sixth more work in pro-
portion TO their number. All the coolies
are interested in learning the English
language, and there is not one who has
not mastered the alphabet. A Sunday
school is held regularly in the factory,
of which Mr.. Sampson is superintend-
ent. Thirty.fve have adopted the

AN AWFUL SToRY.-There was once
an awful little girl who had an awful
way Of saying lawful" to everything.
She lived in an awful house, in an aw-
full village, which was an awful distance
from any other awful place. She went
to an awful school, where she had an
awful teacher, who gave her awful les
sons out of awful books. Every day she
was so awful hungry that she ate an aw-
full amount of food, so that she looked
awful healthy. Her hat was awful small,
and her feet were awful large. She
went to an awful church, and her minis
ter was an awful preacher. When she
took an awful walk she climed awful
hills, and when she got awful tired she
sat down under an awful tree to rest
herself. In summer she found the
weather awful hot. and in winter awful
cold. When it didn't rain there was an
awful drought, and when the awful
drought was oyer there was an awful
rain. So that this awful girl was all the
time in an awful state and if she don't
get over saying lawful" about every
thing | am afraid she will, by and by,
come to an awful end.

SOME WooD WILL SPLIT So.-A gentle
man, whom we will call Brown, residing
in the suburbs of our village, having
during the winter missed, from time to
time, considerable stove-wood, conclud-
ed finally to try an experiment. Select
ing fine specimen stick, he treated it
to gentle dose of nitro-glycerine and
placed it on his wood-pile. The next
morning, while neighbor of his was
engaged in splitting few sticks of
wood for the purpose of cooking break
fast, he was startled by an explosion.
The stick was converted into sky
rocket, apparently, for it flew up in the
air in a marvellous manner, followed by
his AK and hat, and when Brown reach
ed the house of his unfortunate neigh
Dor, his wife was picking the slivers and
chips out of her husbands ear with a
basting.fo while the victim of the ex-
plosion declared in the most positive
and emphatic manner "that if he hadn't
supposed the frost was all out of that
wood weeks ago, he wouldn't have
thought of splitting it," Browns wood
lasts longer than it used to, and Brown
believes in nitro-glycerine as a valuable
auxiliary for offensive and defensive
purposes.-Ralamazoo Telegraph.

Hear what the .Calaveras Zeal. Citi-

toned tourists who passed that way:
A crowd of sensational high-ayers
passed the place of John L. Gibbon,
Sunday last, en- route for the big trees
and Yosemite, which was'a sight to see.
To be as charitable as possible in the
premises, we will suppose that the female
portion were of the strong-minded, and
the male part of the very weak-minded
kind; and being in the mountains, and
out Of the clutches of San Francisco or
Oakland police, thought they would
sling some agonizing style and brighten
the natives of the counties through
which they would pass. The crowd con-
sisted of seven persons in a four-horse
vehicle, and three men and two women
travelling horseback. The females were
dressed la Madame DeWolf-coat and
breeches, boots and hat rode a-straddle
: all same as men, and wore masks
Altogether it was sWeet-scented crowd
too much lost to thedecencies of life
to receive other than the treatment cf
scorn and contempt" b.

cussed.
About fifty merchants attended the
adjourned meeting at the Chamber Of
Commerce yesterday afternoon. A COM
munication from Chief Signal Officer
Meyer, stating that weather reports
would be furnished to the Chamber here
after, was received and filed.
The Cotton Sample Committee re-
ported in favor of the type samples Of
cotton as adopted by the Cotton Buyers
Association, and asked to be discharged.
Adopted.
Mr.. w. R. Moore addressed the meet
ing on the merchants tax question at
length, showing how onerous it was to
the mercantile interest. Mr.. Moore re-
ferred to the costs of courts in this city,
and the salaries of county officials,
which he estimated as follows: Criminal
Court Clerk, $4,000 to $4,000 per an
mum; County Court Clerk, $4,000 to
$4,000; County Treasurer, $4,000 to $l0,-
600; County Tax Collector, $4,000 to
$4,000. Mr., Moore thought men could
be found who would take these Offices at
$2500 per annum, and in this way re-
duce expenses.
Several merchants addressed the meet
ing and conceded in the views presented
by Mr.. Moore.
A committee was appointed to memo
rialize the Legislature on this important
subject. Messrs. Moore, Apperson, Hill,
Stratton and Ford were appointed.
Mr.. J. d. Williams suggested the idea
of making up test case for the courts.
After some discussion it was resolved to
appoint committee of five to solicit
money for the purpose Of feeling attor-
neys for their legal opinions on thee ues-
ton. Messrs. Williams, Eisman, Good
bar, Hill and Mansfield were placed on
the committee; after which the meeting
adjourned.

AN INSULT.

The World says at the banquet given
in New York cityto the British members
of the High Commission the health of
the President of the United States was
among the FIRST of the regular toasts. 1t
was drunk in absolute silence-so we are
told-and even the band which was pres
ent was not called upon TO compliment
the President with the usual national
air. Immediately afterward, the health
of Queen Victoria was proposed and was
received with the most enthusiastic
cheers. That was a direct insult to the
President, at which the Cincinnati
Enquirer grows indignant. 1t says
that General Grant may not com
bine in his person the qualities calcula-
ted, while occupying the position Of the
first Magistrate the Republic, to elevate
the tone and maintain the dignity Of
the Government, still, in an assemblage
of Americans, called together TO do
honor to the representatives Of a foreign
government the scene related by the
World was disgraceful to the Americans
present, and was an insult not only to
the President but to the people Of the
United States, and as such should be re-
scented by every citizen"
