The Fate of N. Theirs works Of Art.

The Paris Steele gives full particulars
of the disposition of NJ. Theirs works
of art, with respect to the fate of which
so much anxiety has been expressed.
1t appears that previous to the delnoh-
ton of the mansion the whole OF its
portable contents were carried to the
furniture warehouse on the Quai dor
say and there classified. The furui-
ture, the portfolios of drawings and
engrayings, including the water-color
copies of the frescoes IN the Vatican,
remained in the warehouse, and have
suffered no other injury than that con-
sequent upon the Smelling which fol-
lows the explosion In the Champ de
Mars. The private papers, correspond
ence, manuscripts, &c, which filed
several large hampers, were sent to the
Hotel de Vile. The gold and silver
articles, it is briefly and emphatically
stated, were not seen at all. The rare
/ brouzes, stauettes, and bas-reliefs were
at first sent to the Louvre, but, in the
absence Of authorities to receive them,
they were deposited in the Salon de
Stuc, at the Tuileries, a room situated
between the Pavilion de Medicis and
the Pavilion de Flores. The Steele
hopes the falling in of the ceilin. of
the upper story may in some degree
have protected them.

Goats and Rats.

A correspondent of the Germantown
Telegraph says; Being sadly plagued
with rats about my house and farm
buildings, | tried in vain to catch
them; they are too cunning to be trap
ped, and to lay poison | dare not for
fear OF killing my dogs, cats and hogs,
and to wait for them with gun was a
loss of two much time, though / have
dropped three at shot At last pur-
chased two goats, which [ kept about
my fold, barn and stables, the pig styes
being in the fold, In short time all
the rats emigrated-they evacuated the
place, cleared right out, every Jack of
them, and | have not seen single rat
about the place for upwards of three
years, but my neighbors who are within
eighty roads have plenty of all sizes
and ages. Perhaps it is not generally
known that where there are many hors-
es stabbed together very little sickness
prevails If there is a goat kept shout
the yard and stables.

sheep for Restoring Worn-Out Land

Mr.. H. G. ABBOTT, Of assalbOro,
Maine, several years since fenced off
ten acres of land, 50 poor that nothing
but white and yellow weeds grew upon
it. and turned upon it fifty sheep, and
kept them there for two seasons. They
ate up every green thing.
In the spring OF the second season
there sprung MP a green coating, show
ing that the grass was coming in, and 1t
gained so fast as 10 induce withdrawal
of the sheep the third season. The
result was a crop averaging two tons to
the acre on one portion, and two tons
and half on the other, of the best
quality of hay The weeds had nearly
all disappeared.

ORIGIN OF AN INVENTION. 1t is a
curious fact that the invention Of that
wonderful mechanical device, the rivet-
ing machine, originated in a turnout
or "strike" of the boilermakers IN Alr.
Fairbanks establishment at Manches-
ter. On that occasion the attempt
was made to rivet two plates together
by COMPRISING the red-hot riyets in
the ordinary punching press. The
success of the experiment Immediately
led to the construction of the original
machine, in which the movable die
was forced upon the rivet by power
full lever, acted upon by a cam. A
short experience, however, proved the
original machine inadequate to the
numerous requirements Of boiler
making, and improvements were there
fore devised, through which the ma
chine effects, by an almost instaneous
pressure, what was performed IN the
ordinary mode by a long series of i'm
pacts.

FARM. GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD
Onion -HaggOt.

An onion grower, of considerable ex-
perience, says that he destroys the
onion magSot in the following manner :
'.As soon as the ma9gots are discover
ed at work. remove the soil from the
sides of the bulbs by making shallow
trench with the corner of a hoe then
pour into this trench soap suds made
by dissolving two or three gallons of
soft soap in a barrel Of water, previous
ly adding one pound of copperas in the
soap"
We do not endorse this as a snre
preventive against the pest, but believe
it worth irving by those who have oc-
casion to do so.-Rlu0I NelD Yorker.

We find the following recommended
when this trouble IS caused by a con-

NEW ENGLAND EpIroRrAp EXCURSION.
The committee appointed to arrange
for the excursion of the Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts,
editorial assc Citations have so far complet-
ed their arrangements that they can say
that the Massachusetts and Maine men,
bers will start from Boston on Monday,
the 10th of July. Taking up the New
Hampshire and Vermont members on the
route, they will proceed to Waterbury,
Vt, where they will be met by Mr..
Bingham, the proprietor of Mount Mans
field, who will take them to Stowe, where
they will remain over night. Wednes-
day, 90 to St. Adams and dine; and in
the afternoon 90 to Montreal Here they
will remain until Thursday P. m., when
they will take the cars again for New.
port, VT, where the party will break up
with appropriate ceremonies Thursday
evening. Arrangements will be made so
that those members of the associations
and their ladies who wish can go through
to the White Mountains at reduced rates
of fare. The excursion will undoubtedly
be delightful one. 1t will be confined
exclusively to members Of the associations
and their ladies, and tickets will be issu-
ed to no persons whose names are not on
the books Of the several associations as
members previous TO the LIST of July.
This requirement is absolutely necessary,
in order to secure the comfort and con-
venience of the party, Circulars giving
details will be sent to the members of the
members Of the associations by their re.
spective secretaries in few days.
The corresponding secretary ofthe Ver-
mont association is Col. II. d. Hopkins
of Montpelier; recording secretary, j.
Webster Dixon of St. Adams.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times, corrects misappre-
hension of the new treaty, as follows
1.-THE claims of British subjects against
our Government are not put on the same
footing with the Alabama claims in any
respect. A distinct tribunal for the set.
Element Of the amount of the Alabama
claims is provided for by the treaty,
England admitting her responsibility for
the damages by the Alabama and other
rebel cruisers, and expressing regret for
the occurrences which gave rise to our
demands. On the other hand the claims
of British subjects against our Govern.
ment as precisely of the same character
as the claims of our citizens against
Spain, and ordinary claims, like the St.
Adams raid damages against Great
Britain, and their settlement is provided
for by mixed Commission, as in the
case of the Spanish and Mexican claims
This makes the acknowledgment of the
difference in the two classes entirely dis
tinct, and the claims of British subjects
are not treated as an offset to the Ala.
bama claims, or any portion Of them. 1t
is quite likely that our claims against
Great Britain other than the Alabama
claims will equal the claims against our
Government.

1t has been alleged that the proposed
increased powers Of the Courts in New
York, in respect to punishment for con-
tempts, gives them no greater authority
than is enjoyed by the United States
Courts. This is a manifest error. By
an act Of Congress passed in 1881, it is
provided that the Court of the United
States can only punish for contempt in
case of misbehavior in the presence Of
the Court, or so near thereto as to OBJ
struct the administration of justice; the
misbehavior of the officers Of said Courts
in their official transactions. and the DIS
obedience on the part of the officers or
any other persons of any process or COM
lnands of the said Courts. These pro-
| visions are similar in substance to those
which have been the law Of New York
for nearly half a century, and which are
the safe guards Of the liberty Of the citi.
zen. No honest man would wish to
abolish them, while it Is very easy to see
that they interfere with the nefarioul
schemes Of men who seek through corrupt
Judges to accomplish their own ends.

The PRUssIAN, FRENCH AND AMERICAN
ARMIES Observation-Disclosures of Gen.
Sheridan. Gen. Sheridan having return
ed from his long European tour, has ex-
pressed in guarded terms to the New
York reporters his opinions regarding the
French and German armies. Although
witness of some of the fercest engage
ments in the late struggle abroad, he does
not believe that the operations iu Europe
an warfare will compare in magnitude
with those in the recent contest in the
United States. The amount of hard work
in campaign is not so great there, as
they have fine rail and other roads and
few impediments of any kind, making
their operations striking contrast with
the labors of the armies of the Union.
The European armies were better suppl
ed with small arms than those of the
United States, but nowhere were they as
WE'LL clad, nor was the commissariat so
good as in the United States. The soldiers
of this country were also far more intelli-
gent. He thought that the cause of the
Prussian victories was mainly owing to
the superior organization of their armies,
their better supplies, and finally the unit
ed and patriotic spirit which animated
the Germans and sent them forward to
victory. Contrasting the French and
Prussian soldiers, he said ut is not an
easy thing to say who fight best. They
are all good soldiers. But there is a
wonderful difference in their respective
peculiarities. The Germans are tremend
ously stubborn and stand fire like a wall
of stone. The French are more full Of
DASH" The French reverses are not due
to lack of proves or skilled officers, but
political troubles at home. Place both
of these nations in the same prosperous
state they were five years ago, and thu
present situation might be very greatly
