1t also states that these cmiSrant, en-

employing a total ofover two hundred
men. The Chinese shoe factories. num-
Der about six, employing about two
hundred aud forty men. The estimate,
of course, does not include those en-
ployed by white manufacturers. The
Chinese have injured the white manll-

somewhat slack II not grotesquc. In

Hens in Place Of Dogs.

There is hardly n family that does not
throw away enough table scraps to feed
at least halfa dozen hen, and many
that keep Il nuisance in the shape Of Il
dog, that does no good, but costs more
than u dozen good hens, complain that
they cannot afford to keep hens. One
dog in a ncighborh0od Is generally n
greater trouble to the ncigllbors than a
flock of hens would he, for if hens are
well fed NJ home they will rarely 90
away. But who ever saw a dog that
was not q pest, running across the new
ly made garden, and sticking his nose
into everything. Kill the ours and give
the food to the hens, and you will find n
pleasure as well AS profit in so doing,
We wish there was Il tax ofonc hundred
dollars on every dog in the country.
Those that are of value as watch dog
could be retained, while host: OF snalI-
ing dirty curs would give place to Solht

Cattle Ponds for Farms.

The severe drOughts whicl, visit
every year some portions ofthc coun-
try, cause, where streams are few and
small and springs lie deep, much
suffering to the cattle and Il great
deal of labor in supplying them with
the necessary water to keep them
alive. We have often been in sec
tons Of this kind when II drought
prevailed, and we have known farm
crs to be obliged to send their cattle
from one 10 three miles to water,
but ii was done only once q day.
we have wondered many times that
they never attempted to provide for
such emergencies upon their own
premises, which all of them could
do. The water from the roofs of the
out-buildings, if carefully gathered
in cistcrns OF ample capacity, would
generally be sufficient for all the
stock these buildings would shelter.
! But in times Of great drought they
would probably be drained. In this
view, good-sizcd, deep pondS, well.
constructed, could not fail to meet
all the demand. A pratical cngi.
nccr speaking Oh this subject peril.
nontly says:
"ln travelling through the country
AIN often surprised that farmers dc
not take advantage of low places
and convert them, at little expense
of dccpening and sodding the banks,
into ponds to receive the rainfall
from the surrounding lands, and
thus supply their stock with water.
The pond once made should be
strongly fenced and surrounded by
willows to prevent evaporation. The
fence will prevent cattle from get.
ting into it. There should be n pas
sage leading to the pond, on the
north side. whclc the watcrwould be
accessible outside of a part of the en-
closure. This plan is invariably
adopted in England. There | have
often seen II pond common to our
fields. They clean them every third
year.
The approach TO the water, il
should be borne in mind, must grad
ually descend, so that the portion OF
the pond fenced out should be of
sufficient depth to draw all the wa
ter within reach of the cattle, aud the
width of the approach should give
ample room for the two or three cat
tic to drink ut one time.-GermaR-

synopsis for the Past Twenty.fOur
Hours.
WASHINGTON, April %, 7:30 P. NJ
The barometer has risen slowly, with
a falling temperature on the Pacific
coast, and it has fallen with a
rapid increase Of temperature at the
Rocky mountain stations. The area OF
lowest pressure is now in upper Canada.
The rains which, on Thursday evening,
prevailed on the South Atlantic and on
the lower lakes have ceased entirely.
In the former district, at present,
thev are confined to the Eastern Allan
tic coast, with occasional local raining
in Western Pennsylvania and Wis
consin. Clear or clearing weather pre-
walls South and West Of Kentucky.
The barometer has f1uctuated somewhat
in Center and Southern regions; it has
risen on the upper lakes, but is now gen
orally quiet low and falling everywhere
East of the Mississippi river, and South
Of Key West, Florida.
Probabihtes-Itis probable that fresh
and brisk winds from the Southwest and
Northwest will prevail from Pennsyl,
vania West and South TO the Mississippi
and the lakes. Small local storms will
probably pass over the Middle and
Eastern States, with cloudy weather on
Saturday.

Chinese government and the foreign
Christian Powers, at various times, the

kilograms which have been received
in Shanghae from Pekin report that the
government of China has made a de-
mand upon the foreign Ambassadors
serving in the empire, which embraces
points of the most decisively important
character.
These demands may be stated
thus
Frst-That schools for the education
of females be abolished.
Second-That the teaching to males,
subjects of the empire, of all doctrines
opposed to those Of Confucius, be for
bidden.
Ihird-That missionaries shall be
considered Chinese subjects.
Fowth-That women shall not be
permitted access to the empire in that
capacity.
The foreign Ambassadors are also
notified that the attendance OF women
upon religious service made one OF the
occasions for the recent massacres ol
foreigners, and that though those
events cannot but be deplored by the
imperial government, compensation
for their commission is absolutely re-

ALearned Man to be Hung,

That a man may be very learned, and
at the same time very bad, is conclu-
siyely shown in the case OF Edward II.
Rulloff. a condemned murderer, who is
soon to be hung at Binghamton, New
York. he has been for years profes-
sional robber and burglar, and in des-
perate villains hardly has an equal
among the criminals Of the Empire
State. Prof Mather, Of Amhurst Col
leee, Massachusetts,, lately had an in
teryiew with him in his cell, and thus
reports him:
He complained that he had been
laughed at by the public as superficial
scholar, and wanted me to satisfy my
self on that, and then hear what he had
to say about the formation Of language.
I replied that, as we had no text books,
I could not examine him, to which he
re;oiped that many Of the classical au.
thors he knew by heart, and would try
and repeat portions il would suggest
where he should begin. Thinking
that something from the Memorabilia
might be appropriate to his present
needs, l suggested the third chapter,
first book, where the sentiments OF
Socrates with reference to God and duty
in their purity and exaltation approach
so nearly to Biblical revelation; and he
at once gave me the Greek. Other
parts Of the same work, as well as the
Nad of Homer and some Of the plays
of Sophocles, he showed great familari'
ty with. Then, in order to show his
thoroughness, he criticized the common
rendering Of certain passages, and be
did it with such subtlety and discrimin
alton and elegance as to show that hit
