"THIs SEAT Is ."--Thls
railroad lie is getting to be nuisance. So
thought a gentleman the other day on a
Boston and Albany train. "That is played.
OUT said he to a well-dressedi lady who
had spread her skirts and her selfishness
over two seats, while others were tired Of
standing. Suiting his action to the word,
he took the seat that he had paid for, and
out of which her meanness would have de-
prived him. Having the ride before me
from Boston to Springfield, writes cor
respondent of the Springfield Republican,
/ watched this thing. Here was. lady
with nurse and baby, who, in crowded
car, with two tickets, preeinpted four seats.
There was lady who at every stopping
place took the outside seat, and so arranged
herself as to hinder from entering any but
al bold intruder, and when the tram
started she would slide back into the inside
seat. AS the car began to fill up another
woman repealed a timid intruder with,
"This seat is engaged" though he knew it
was lie. But the next Gomez, being a
more travelled man, took it. My eye then
fell on a caption in the Selected Miscel-
lany of the days Rqpabliedn-"Why wo-
men are not magnanimous." The first
sentence was: "What women in civilized
countries mostly want is magnanimity, +"
and the concluding sentence was: "Wo-
men are commonly trained to believe that
so long as they are 'virtuous,' it is not re-
quisite that they shall be sincere and mag
unanimous therefore their common defects
are insincerity and meanness."

EFFECTS OF IRRIGATION.-A cores
pendent Of the Country Gentleman says:-
We have little experience in irrigating,
which we will give for the benefit of others.
Some II years ago we collected the water
that run in highway some distance; run
it into small pond, and then, by bitches,
over half an acre of meadow. This simple
transaction cost half days work for two
men and team, and no expence since. we
are sure that we have obtained twice the
quantity of hay for the past sixteen years,
or in other words, eight tons of hay extra
in that time, worth on an average $40 per
ton-sSO for SO worth of work irrigating.
The quality of the grass has also improved.
1t is, the larger part, now blue grass, very
thick and tall, from two feet six inches to
three feet above the cutter-bar, which
proves this gaass the most reliable for irrl-
gated meadow, as it steadily and surely
runs out all others in our meadow; but or
dry soils it is not success with me, ano
we think it waste of seed to sow it there

NM aPATN KILLER.-

The PAIN KILLER" may justly be styled
the great medicine of the world for there is no
region of the globe into which it has not found
its way, and been largely used and highly priced
Moreover, there is no cline to which 1t has not
proved to be well adapted for the cure of con
siderable variety of diseases. 1t is speedy and
safe remedy for burns scalds, cuts, bruises,
wounds and various other injuries, as well as for
dysentery, diarrhoa and bowel complaints gene
rally. 1t is admirably suited for every race Of
men ON the face of the globe.
1t is a very significant fact, that notwithstand-
ing the long period of years that the PAIN
KILLER has been before the world, IL has
never lost one whit of its popularity, but on the
contrary, the call for 1t has steadily increased
from its first discovery, and at no previous time
has the demand for it been 50 great, or the guam

Another significant fact is that nowhere ha
the "PAIN KILLER" ever been in higher re
pute, or been more generally used by famie
and individuals, than it has been here at hom'
where it was first discovered and introduced
That the PAIN KILLER" will continue

INDIA RUBBER INExHAUsTIBLE.-
The belt of land around the globe, five
hundred miles north and five hundred miles
south of the equator, abounds in trees pro-
ducing the gum of India rubber. They can
be tapped, it is stated, for twenty successive
seasons, without injury; and the trees
stand SO close that one man can gather the
sap of eighty in day, each tree yielding,
on an average, three tablespoonfuls daily.
Forty-three thousand of these trees have
been counted in tract of country thirty
miles long by eighty wide. There are in
America and Europe more than one nun
dred and fifty manufacturers Of Indian rub,
Der articles, employing some five hundred req
operatives each, consuming more than
I'D. DOC. 900 pounds of gum per year, and
the business is considered to be still in its
infancy. But to whatever extent it may
increase, there will still be plenty of rub
Der to supply the demand.
