Our soils-Tbey Must be Preserved.

To those who are continually Boosting
of the splendid civilization of the West
ern nation as compared with that OF the
Eastern hemisphere, we commend the Iol-
lowing extract, taken from an exchange:
If civilization and wealth go together, IL
is evident that that nation will longer pre-
serve its civilizatian that pays the most at
tention to the preservation of the soil, for
upon the fertility of the soil depends the
successful cultivation of all those arts
which distinguish the civilized from the
savage. Let the soil be taken care OF, the
people educated and all that is desirable
will follow. p "afi@A
The deterioration of American soils has
for number of years past been the SUD-
| iect of warm discussion with agriculturlsts,
and the conclusion has been reached that
| unless different system from that hereto
! fore pursued is adopted, the products OF the
| cultivated acres of the country will not
more than be sufficient to feed our own
population. The value of manures APP
| pears to be but imperfectly understood by
| American farmers generally, the impress
| sion prevailing in most of the better agrl
| cultural districts that it is next to lmpOS'
sible to exhaust their fertility. a1 IIlT
| The continually decreasing crops com
pletely explode this opinion, ana the Ell
forts of scientific men are being energetic
ally directed towards the dissemination
more rational ideas. Were the same sys
tenn of cultivation pursued in the Qnlte'
States as in China, we should be able t
supply all nations of the earth with food
The Chinese, according to late writers, VIII
have closely investigated their system Q
farming, are unquestionably the best ag
riculturists and hOrticulturists i'll tn
world. Not particle of manure is allow
ed to go to waste. Every portion, hoWey
er minute, is jealousy husbanded and az
piled to the soil. The result is that tn
whole country, so far from being worn on
or exhausted, is as fertile as it was in tn
days of Confucius, thousands of years age
American farmers might well take lesson
from the Celestials in regard to the cult

+ A SINGULAR DIsCovERY.-While some
men at the Torpedo Station were at work
inside old Fort WOlcott, last Friday, the
wheel of their Cast sank deep in the
ground. Removing some of the earth to
find a cause for this, one of the men struck
his spade against what seem to be an,iron
plate. This excited the curiosity OF all,
and thew set to work with Will to dig
away the earth above the plate. Soon
their efforts were rewarded by the sight OF
an iron door fastened with rusty bolt.
On breaking this open, they came upon
fight of winding stairs, which they de-
scended, and arriving at the foot they
found themselves in a dungeon whose
gloom was made more marked by the ray
of dim light which solitary loophole at
the top admitted. Striking light to dis
pel the darkness of the dungeon, they
found upon the floor a few withered bones,
skull, and a lantern: The lantern IS OF
such an old-fashioned construction and
shape that it must have been made Over
fifty years ago.--N. Y. Meas. -.tse

THE PRAIRIE -ON FIRE,
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.

To right and to left the black buffalo came.
In miles and in millions, rolling on in despair,
With their boards to the dust and black tails in
the air;
AS terrible surf on red sea of flame
Rushing on in the rear, reaching high, reaching
higher,
And rode neck to neck to buffalo bull,
The monarch of millions, with shaggy name
full
Of smoke and of dust, and it shook with desire
Of battle, with rage and with bellowiugs loud
And unearthly, and up through its lowering
cloud
Came the flash of his eyes, like half-hidden
fire,
While his keen crooked horns through the storm
of his name
Like black lances, lifted and lifted again:
Then the rushing of fire rose around me and
under,
And the bowling of beasts, like the sound of
thunder
Beasts burning and blind and forced onward
and over,
As the passionate fame reached around them,
and wove her
Hands in their hair, and kissed hot till they
died
Till they died with wild and desolate moan,
AS a sea heart-broken on the hard brown stone,
And into the Brazos I rode all alone
III o1opa cara bnrSa 1onn.1imhad
And blind, and bare, and burnt to the skin.

There Must be a Change.

Nine out of every ten Republicans
have lost confidence in Grant; they are
disappointed, and feel they have been
deceived. They do not believe that our
Government was made for the benefit of
Grant and his cousins. They believe
that those who hold Office are the agents
and ought not to be the masters of the
people.
The people are justly alarmed when
they remember that the ordinary expen-
ditures of the Government, from Wash
ington down to Lincoln, amounted to
less than fourteen hundred millions
while since the war, only six years, ,twen-
ty-six hundred millions have been col
lected from the people! The debt has
been reduced less than three hundred
millions, while the amount collected in
the last six years has been greater than
the whole debt!

WOmsn's CuriGs'ty--A Long
Branch Story.

Correspondence n: Y Com Advertiser
They have very'nice people over at the
Rowland House. They are the cream of
Philadelphia society. but some of them
do very queer things. An affair has Just
leaked out which is little out Of the
way Of the best regulated families.
am sorry to bring an action against
one of my own sex. The curiosity of
Eve brought all the trouble we have in
this world upon us, and from that day to
this nothing stops woman when her
curiosity is once up, especially if she is
curious to know something about her.
SELF her husband or her lover Only
hold secret in your hand, and if it's
like bunch OF catnip to cat, she will
jump, frisk and frolic around, and never
give over purring until she gets it. The
story is this: 4 husband was in the
habit of visiting Chamberlain Cottage,
which is the resort of great !many
fashionable gentlemen. The wife heard
in some way that he was fairly enchant-
ed by the game, and was heavy loser.
Woman's curiosity was exercised to
see the game herself, and by some de-
vice to cure him of his passion. She
broached the matter to her brother, but
he could suggest no way. She made a
confident Of lady friend, who proposed
that they should visit the house and con-
front the husband at the table For
week and more the subject was gravely
considered, when it was resolved that
they should disguise themselves in gen.
tlemen's clothes. How to do that was
the next thing. The lady's brother was
obliged to leave iE day or two for
Philadelphia on business. He left, and,
having the key to his room, the ladies
soon found the wardrobe desired. Dis
guised as two fashionable young men,
they entered Chamberlain's splendid sa-
loon about ten o'clock in the evening
Fortunately for them, quite crowd of
persons were surrounding the tai les -
The lady took position SO as to look her
husband full in the face. Throwing
down a ten dollar bill, she said: Ten
dollars on the red" The husband
whose mind was so intent on the game,
had not been attracted by the new com
ers, until he heard the voice. When he
raised his head he saw it was his wife
With wonderful self-composure, he set
tied his account and left the house. The
lady won her first turn, and following
the example of her husband left, as she
came in, with her companion unnoticed.
She Joined her husband, for he was wait
ing for her outside. Ihave onl y to say
that he was deeply mortified and promp-
ted to turn over a new leaf. Woman's
curiosity, you see, has done some good.

Painting Farm Implements.

Carelessness on the farm always leads
to loss of both time and money, and
vet there are hundreds of farmers who
habitually leave their plows and other
implements just where they stopped
work, exposed to the rain and wind, to
crack and injure them in every way.
The wood work of most of our fam
implements decay before it wears out,
and therefore money is saved by keep
ing it well painted. If the farm tools
could he overhauled once year, the
joints filled up, the worn places brushed
over, and bolts, nuts, and iron work
oiled, and backened, the implement
would last long enough TO repay the
cost of the work many times Manu-
facturers are sending out great deal
of wood work that has only been var
nished. 1t looks well in this style, and
the buyer can judge of the grain and
quality of the timber used, but the var
nish is little better than nothing as a
protection from decay. New tools that
are simply vanished should be well
painted before being ed--Rurolist.
