Bone MEAL FOR POULTRY. The follty-
ing is an extract from the report Of the
Poultry Committee of the Bristol (Mass.)
County Fair:
"Last winter procured two barrels of
bone, meal intending to use it for Irish pota-
toes and other garden crops. My wife appro-
priated rome of it for her roses in the flower
garden, by simply strewing it or the surface
of the ground around the bushes. The fowls
have free access to the garden, and were dis
covered eating the meal very eagerly
Thinking it might be service to them, we
gave them some for several weeks, and [
assure you it was but short time before
the eggs began to come in such numbers as
we had never known before. If a nest was
broken up to prevent hen from sitting, it
was but a few days before she was laying
again, and thus it has continued to the pre-
sent time. One hen has taken possession
Of barrel that has some bone meal in it,
and is laying in the meal. Whether she
lay the barrel full Or not, time will
show. My vile thinks that care and bone
meal are great institutions for her poultry
yard, and very extraordinary in their et-
feet but as hens has an unusual amount of
cackling to do, fears it may bring on bron-
ohtis. The manuring of hens to make
them lay sc think is original, but We have
no idea '' takiag out patent for it, and
hence leave the discovery opsn to the use Of
all who may choose to try it,

How TO ROAST CoFFEE-Itis well known
that in the process Of roasting coffee many
changes take place in the composition Of the
berry. The horny material becomes brit
tie, and the tannin, sugar, and fat are part
ly destroyed, and the oil Of the coffee driven
off by the heat. AS it is to this latter in
gredlent that the pleasant aroma of coffee is
due, it is important to retain this as much
as possible, which may be done by introduce
ing pisces Of dry bread, together with the
coffee, in the rooster, which will absorb the
vapor of the oil like sponge and, as it
becomes heated to less degree than the
coffee beans, serves to condensc the vapor.
When the coffee is ground the bread is to
be ground up and prepared with it, increas
ing to not inconsiderable degree the excel
lence of the coffee. The proportion Of bread
to be used in quarter of a pound to three
fourths, of pound of coffee The coffee,
when roasted, must be kept in a close ves-
sci, as we'll filled as possible.

REGULATING RAILWAY FAREs.-Attempts

REGULATING RAILWAY FAREs.-Attempts
have several times been made to regulate rail
way fares by law, but, thus far, without any
marked effect. The Legislature of the State of
Illinois, at its last session, passed law, which
became operative on the LIST instant, providing
a maximum rate of charges, which, it is said,
| is not at all respected by the companies. The
Legislature of Connecticut has o bill before it,
framed after that of the Illinois law, and Wig
orous efforts are making TO pass it, with little
probability, thus far, of success. 1t provides
that no company shall charge more than four
cents per mile per head for the transportation
of passengers and baggage over its road. Over
| roads earning profits to the amount of eight
per cent. per annum the limit is fixed at three
cents per mile per head on roads earning an
nual profits TO the amount of ten per cent, two
and a-half cents is the legal maximum charge
An exception to this rule is made in the case
of way passengers, who may be charged ten
cents between any two stations, without regard
to distance. For any violations of this law the
companies are punishable by fine of $40, one
half of which goes to the person overcharged.
All companies are required to post, in conspi-
cuous places in all their ticket offices and pub
| lie waiting rooms, printed schedules, showing
the rates of fare charged between all points to
| which tickets are issued, under penalty of a
| fine Of S. for each days neglect. 1t nav be
said, without discussing the general question OF
the policy of regulating rates of fare by legisla-
| ton, that the cases with which Connecticut
has to deals are peculiarly aggravated ones. The
| Hartford and New Haven pays eighteen per
| cent. dividends on the amount actually paid in,
and charges nearly six cents a mile for local
| fares and three and a-quarter cents for through
passengers. Another road charges eight and
| a-half cents for local and four and a-quarter
cents for through travel a mile, and it pays
sixteen per cent. dividends. Several others,
paying from ten to twelve per cent. on their
capital, charge from four to six cents for local
passengers, and three to four for through pas
sengers. All attempts to regulate the alleged
abuses by arbitrary enactments is beginning
at the wrong end, and in the future, as in the
past, are likely to prove Intellectual Of good re-
suits. The truer policy is in Withholding from
corporations the extraordinary privileges too
often granted by Legislatures Philadelphia

| OLD FOES IN New FIGHT.-Here is voice
from Alabama, which rings like the blast of a
rebel bugle summoning the cohorts of secess-
sion to a charge on the union lines:
| We are now entering upon political cam
paign that is full of the auguries of victory. 1t
is our own fault if the friends of the COnstitu
ton do not win and deserve to wear its blessings
and its honors. 1t can never be won by men
who are eternally blubbering over ruin, hope
less defeat, and cry out ait is of no use to
| struggle, we are conquered, all is lost" The
battle of liberty is never lost except to people
who do not deserve it. To our own race it has
never been lost, because our blood has never
given it up under storm or adversely. If there
ever was people who were beaten in the field,
but unconquered in soul, it is the people of the
South. They have shown fortitude con-
stancy, and q courage in adversely that shines
brightly in comparison with their deeds in
the field. They have as manfully accepted the
situation as they fought to avert it. They have
exhibited a patience in endurance to which
there is no parallel in history. And yet no rack
of insult, torture of Tyranny has been able to
extract from their suffering lips one syllable of
retraction of the right and duty that inspired
them to take arms. They submit to the law of
the victor, but they would die before confessing
that they had been guilty of the crimes of 'reb-
els and TRAITORS"
We can fancy, while reading the above, that
we see the stars and bars saucily flying and
tapping in the breeze. That banner may do
very well to inluse en- tn usiasm into the South
ern heart, but will not prove an attractive
symbol to the men who were accustomed to
catch their glimpes of it between whizzing bull
let's and amid the smoke of gun powder.

EFFECT OF RAILWAY PittsburO
and ConnellSUiHe RGilroad.-Wthin the brief
period which has elapsed since the opening of
a new line of railway to the East, the business
interests of Pittsburg in general, and the oil
interests in particular, it seems, have received
an impetus forward such as has not been ex-
perenced in some years. The Pittsburg Ma
tional oil journal says:
"Pittsburg is the natural centre, both gee.
graphically and commercially, of the great Pc
troleum oil refining interests, and yet, owing
to the high tariff on transportation east, the bu-
sness has for the last three or four years been
steadily on the decline. A considerable share
of tho refining now done in other places would
have been done in Pittsburg had it en- oyed the
advantages afforded by competing lines Of rail-
way to the principal shipping ports. Since the
opening of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to
Pittsburg, by the completion of the PIttsburg
and Connellsville road, the rates on oil east has
been reduced from one dollar and thirty-five
cents to eighty cents per barrel. The oil bust
ness of Pttsburg has been and still is extensive
in spite of the drawbacks imposed upon it, and
this difference in freights restores to the city,
in great measure, the advantages due to its
central location, and, as u consequence, insures
material increase in its oil trade This new
departure has stricken the letters from the
trade of Pittsburg eastward, and we have rea-
son to hope that it will not be long before the
same may be said in regard to the West. The
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, through
their presidents, have said to the people of
Pittsburg. We are prepared to join you in
building promptly liue from Pittsburg to the
lakes and the great Northwest, and we propose
to subscribe at once two millions of dollars to
the stock of such q road These are encour-
aging words-especially as it is known that
Mr. Garrett means all that he says, and posi-
bly, little more. Let the citizens of Pitts
burg and other interested localities respond in
the same liberal and practical manner, and but
few months will be required to put new
line in operation to the lakes. Having once
tasted the sweets of railway competition, it
should not be difficult to enlist the entire bust
ness interests Of the city in efforts to secure
more oft"

CHAPTER |.


And the multitude took the banner and
brought it from Towsontown unto the District,
and when they of the district arose early on the
morrow, behold great plaques were upon them,
aud utter ruin seemed to them inevitable. Clouds
appeared, but refused to give rain and the earth
became as it were parched, and vegetation ceased
to grow, millions Of bugs were upon the earth,
and destroyed potato vines, and many other
things which came in their way. Accidents oil
the most serious character were happening on
every side from the Dover Road to "Mason and
Dixons' line And when the men of the Dis
trct saw that it was so, they said the banner
shall not abide with us. They sent therefore and
gathered all the wise men of the District unto
them, and said what shall we do with the abom-
Unable banner of the 'great Conservative party"
And they answered and said let the banner be
carried about unto - and they carried
it thither, and still the plaques continued with a
very great destruction. They again assembled
all the wise men of the District and said send
away the banner that it slay us not and our peo-
pie. And when heard what a deadly
destruction was throughout the whole district on
account of the banner, he fell from off the seat
back and died he being an awkward man
and heavy And the people called unto the wise
men and divines, saying, what shall we do with
the banner? Tell as wherewith we shall send it.
And they answered and said now therefore make
a new cart, and take two milk kline, on which
there bath come no yoke, and tie the kline to the
cart, and take the banner and lay it upon the
cart, and see if it goeth up by the way Of the
"White House" which is the place of holding
elections" then it hath done US this great evil.
And the kline took the banner straight way
to the White House, and went along the high
way lowing as they went, and turned not aside
to the right or to the left And the wise men
and the divines went after them unto the place
Of "holding elections" and when they saw the
cart stood there, they lifted up their voices, and
said unto the multitude 0 We men of the ban
ner District, if We would that this great evil that
is upon us be removed, we command that you
cleVe the wood of the cart, and offer the kline as
trespass Offering and gather together the silver
and the gold and the greenbacks of the District
and prepare we feast, and invite both Republi-
cans and Sinners, and then there shall be music
and dancing throughout the banner District

THE CoMMUNE.-A scheme has been set on foot
for the transportation of the French communes
to the territory of Arizona. 1t appears that the
scheme has been originated by Mr.. Poston, the
delegate in Congress from that Territory. The
French Government has divided these crazy heads
thee cases. rne first-those found guilty
OF crimes, are sentenced to hard labor for life
The second-what are termed dangerous persons
are to be sent to penal colony. The third class
are granted general amnesty on the condition
of their emgrating.
These last it is understood, will be allowed to
go to Arizona, the government (France) paying
the expense of transportation, giving them
mining tools, tents, arms and subsistence for six
months. This does not strike us as being a very
desirable piece of business for the United States
There is manageable element enough in ouI
midst already. New York furnishes frightful ex.

son. The settlement offs large number of these
French communes in any locality of our country,
it occurs to us, will be sowing the seed of future
trouble These and the Indians put upon a reser.
walton together would eventually succeed in ex-
terminating each other.

THE OCEAN.

a brilliant day on the beach at Cape May is a
luxury without rival. To lave ones self in
the Atlantic there is peerless enjoyment. A
stroll on the oceans magnificent strand late in
the evening or at early dawn delights the heart
and enraptures the soul. At sunrise the restless
pillows spend their fury on the mellow beach,
dissolve their foam spray by the ceaseless agi-
tation of the mighty deep, roll boldly onward to
the shore, don their white caps and die in the
midst of their endeavor to kiss the pale-faced
moon. At midday the tide is up, the pillows
roll and surge with a wilder fury, the waves
dash with bolder efforts to outstrip all that have
gone before. Wave after wave, mounting high
or dissolving before maturity, approaching the
with increasing velocity and accommodating guam
tity, eliminating in "white caps or creamy
spray, press hard upon the heels OF each other,
and keep the shore in one continuous array OF
tide and wave billow and spray, attended with
a music in its roar that charms, entertains, de-
lights and enchants.
In the afternoon, the bosom of the deep is a
''glorious mirror" where dancing sunbeams ra-
diant with grandeur kiss ''the wild waves play"
and cothe the briny waters in a splendor no pen
can describe, no brush initiate, no imagination
conceive.
oCalm or convulsed, in breeze gale Storm
it awes and delights, brings terror and pleas
ure, leads out the soul to higher thoughts and
engages the mind in mute CONCENTRATIONS that
enrapture the being. On the shore the wild

Would IT Nor BE WELL TO HAVE A CHANGE p
Would it not be well to change things little in
the management of the Government patronage
in this State? We are somewhat of the belief
that if Democrats are to be retained in office un-
der heads Of Departments appointed by a Re-
publican administration, it might be well to
change the heads Of the Departments in order to
get change in the incumbents. We are some
times told it is bad rule that wont work both
ways. We consider it applicable as well in pol
itics as elsewhere. Now if Democrats are put in
and kept in under Republican appointees, it
might be that, if President Grant should remove
some of these Republican heads of Departments
and put Democrats in their places, some of the
Democrat appointees of these heads might be re-
moved and good Republicans might be favored
with the positions thus made vacant
We don't believe the Republican party could
be the loser by the experiment in this State. We
should least have an energetic party while some
ofthe present>iRs were out if it did happen to be
reduced in point of nnmbers to the number OF
regular officials as soon as they should get in
again. 1t is not good policy to have more than
half of the Republican officials selected from the
Democratic ranks at any one time.

DEMOCRATIC SmPLICIrY.- The Louisville
Daily "COnsmcrciGy" has heretofore exposed
the reckless way in which the Democratic leg
islature of KY. has sacrificed the interests Of
the people Of that State to corporate monopo-
lies In late issue it has the following para
graph:
"There is delightful originality about Ken
lucky Democracy. When we show that it has
mysteriously made way with over four mil
lions OF the Sinking Fund, and squandered one
million in excess of revenue received, it SAYS :
well, but hasn't South Carolina sauandered
money, and hasn't Texas done so, and Louisi-
ana, and other Southern States 2" And
straightway it falls to abusing the State admin
istrations in South Carolina, Texas and Louis
lana, as if that justified their own shortcomings
and cOrruptiOns."

RELEAsED.-A couple of weeks ago desperate
Ku Klux named James Oxford was tried in Wash
ipgton county court, Georgia, and convicted OF
murder for shooting a colored man and was SEN
fenced to be hung. After sentence he was con-
veyed to jail One night shortly after being con-
fined there, band Of disgused armed men came
to the Jail at night and released the prisoner.
He has been several times convicted of crimes
equally as bad, but he has evaded sentence by
means equally rs foul.
This is frightful example Of what the Ku
Klux will do if allowed to practice their neNari-
Gus designs. Here is white desperate, whom a
jury of twelve men have pronounced guilty of
murder. The Ku Klux prevent the operation Of
the law, because the murderer is white and his
victim black. Had the color been reversed in
the transaction, the same crew that defes the law
by setting criminals free, would have assembled
at the Jail in their disguise and hung the colored
man without ceremony.

DEPARTED.-John Sidell the ex-Confederate

1893. About the age of twenty he removed to
Louisiana. President jackson made him United
States District Attorney for that State. Several
times he was elected to the legislature of the
State. He was representative in Congress in
lS43 and again in 1916 He was also minister
to Mexico He was elected to fill the unexpired
term of Pierre Soule in the United States Senate
in 1853, and was reelected for full term in
1855. This position he resigned at the beginning
of the rebellion. AS a reward for his devotion
to the ''lost cause" JEFF. Davis appointed him as
Minister of the Confederacy to France, 10 induce
