No. 2-UNFA1R FIGHTIYe.-The conspirators
against the peoples rights who oppose the
charter for an independent all-rail line from
Washington to Richmond, show their con-
sciousness of bad cause by the repeated
efforts to delay its consideration even. We

road to fight desperately. Its old fogy notions
are shocked at the idea of losing its vested
wrongs. But don't get mad. People will

The Russian Army.

The Russian Army, according to re
cent statistics published at ST. Peters
burg, consists of 80, O43 officers ana
1872, S2G. when on a peace footing, and
SO, 0S3 officers and LIB, S79 men on g
war footing. These forces are divided
into So battalions of infantry and 2S1
squadrons of cavalry The artillery
force has ], 422 guns. The average pro
portion of officers to men is 81
to every 1000 soldiers. OF every
1000 men in the army, 1877 belong
to the infantry, 10l to the artillery,
n to the cavalry, and % to the pioneers.
Great difficulty is experienced in obtain
ing officers for the Russian army, and
the number leaving every year is great
er than that entering. In the lower
grades, however, the men enter the
army IN greater numbers than they
leave it, and during the last eleven
years there has been an excess of 242, 316
recruits over the number required to fill
vacancies. The standard of education
IN the Russian army, it is stated, is
slowly improving, "a per cent. in 1867
not being able either to read or to
write, while in 1869 this per centage
fell to 46.

4 Horrible Case.

DIR. Bunce, of Glastonbury, Conn,
has III charge horrible case in the per-
son OF a woman who seems destined. il
not cured, to illustrate in her own per
son the shocking fate of King Herod.
The woman who is of scrofulous hab-
1t and constitution, has been under
treatment for one ailncnt or another
for period Of twelve or fourteen years.
Recently an abscess appeared on the side
of one leg below the knee, and from it
issued large live worm. On Wednes-
day, from another painful abscess on he1
neck, just above the clavicle, another
large and disgusting looking worm with
four feet come forth. There is much
pain and some swelling in the patient s
right side, and the Doctor is of the
opinion that what has already been de-
veloped of these living inhabitants of a
living body is but the beginning OF
what is to follow.

Death of STad Lincoln, 8

Thomas Lincoln (better known by
the pet name of Tad" which his
father gave him when a child), the
youngest son of ex-President Abraham
Lincoln, died i'll Chicago, Saturday,
after several weeks illness. He was
over eighteen years of age, and his
death has caused sincere sadness in
many hearts. About two and half
years ago, his mother took him to Eu-
rope, where, in Frankfert-on-the-M Main,
he was placed in school. He applied
himself assiduously to his studies, had
become quite a scholar, and succeed
ed in enticely overcoming the impe,
diment in his speech. About two
months ago he returned with his mother
to this city, where they have been re-
siding ever since. About two weeks
after their return he was taken i'll with
a severe cold, which gradually assumed
pleuritic and dropsical form, from
which he has suffered greatly, and
which finally caused his death
The calamity has overwhelmed Mrs
Lincoln and her sole surviving son
Robert, with sorrow. Misfortune has
made heavy work with the Lincoln
family ever since that fatal night IL
April, 1865.

poured off, in cloth or sack and press

demijohn, keg or barrel, any size to suit
the quantity made, and to each quart
of juice add three pounds of the best

juice and thirty pounds of sugar Will
give YOU ten gallons of wine, and so
on IN that proportion. Those who do not
like sweet wine can reduce the guam
tlty of sugar to y or those who wish
It very sweet, raise 1t to 81 pounds per
gallon. The vessel must be full and
the bung or stopper left off until fer
mentation ceases, which will be in
twelve or fifteen days. Meanwhile, the
cask must be filed up daily with cur
rent juice left over, as fermentation
throws out the impure matter. When
fermentation ceases, rack the wine care
fully, either from the spigot or by a
syphon, and keep running all the time
Cleanse the cask thoroughly with boil
ing water, then return the wine, bung

months, when it will be fit to drink,
and can be bottled il desired All the
vessels, casks, etc, should be perfectly
sweet, and the whole operation should
be done with an eve to cleanliness. Iu
such event, every drop of brandy OF

The following Is worth reading, as q

they look. A native wrote it for the

Efaying.

The hay crop this year is abundant.
1t is OF more value than any other
crop. Last year, tame hay was almost
fallare. Prairie hay and corn fodder
were used as substitutes The ques-
ton for every stock raiser to decide is,
How shall / secure this valuable
crop IN the best possible condition r.
Timothy should be cut before it is
ripe, and the stalk woody. Some
writer's say that it should be cut when
the seed is in the dough state. Others
say, that when IN full bloom, is the best
time. If for young cattle, COWS and
sheep, 1t is better cut early. For
horses, it is best cut in the dough state
Glover should be cut when half of the
blossoms have turned brown Grass
should not be cut when it is wet, nor
should it be exposed more than half
Sday to the hot sun. It should always
be put into good sized cocks before it
dry, and let it cure. A vast amount
of hay is every year damaged by being
exposed several days to the scorching
rays of the sun.
Better put up the hay when it is half
cured. 1t will come out green, and
viii be eaten with a better relish, and
will go further. Hay cut in the fore
noon of fair day should be put into
cocks in the afternoon. The cocks can
be secured from rain by Gaping them
with prairie grass.
When hay is put up in ricks or long
stacks, and pitched by hand, it should
be pitched alternately on both sides of
the stack. This will cause it to settle
evenly When it is pitched on to one
side only, it will settle with the layers
of hay lower on one side than on the
other, thereby causing the rain to run
INTO the middle of the stack. Grain
stacks will almost invariably lean when
the sheaves are pitched to one side in
stead of both.
Instead of trying to make hay in such
cloudy, RAINY weather, as we had last
week, it would be better to get NOW
ers, rakes, pitchforks, etc, all ready,
and when good weather does come, be
prepared to make hay lively, while the
sun Shines p Bartlett in Prairie

The Perils of Vesuyius.

Professor Palmieri, from his observa-
tory near Vesuvius, follows attentively
all the symptoms indicated by the sis
mograph. He has lately remarked a
considerable increase in the lava which
issues quietly but copiously. A perfd-
1ous silence reigns on the mountain, and
not a single proiectileis launched in the
air. Everything, according to the sa-
want, seems to forsehow that his station
should be protected from threatening
danger by solid dyke of scoria. The
perils which may be incurred by that
scientific institution should not, he
thinks, be lightly disregarded, as it is
the most unique IN the world, and has

For Flies ola Horses.

The Journal of Chemistry gives the
following as a preventative of horses
being teased by flies:
Take two or three small handfuls
Of walnut leaves, upon which pour
three quarts of cold water, let it infuse
one night, and pour the whole next
morning into kettle, and let it boil
for quarter OF an hour When cold it
will be fit for use. The way to use it
is to moisten a sponge, and before a
horse goes out of the stable, let those
parts which are most irritable be
smeared over with liquor, viz: Between
and upon the ears, and neck, and
TANKS, etc. Not only the gentleman or
lady who rides ont for pleasure viii
derive pleasure from the walnut leaves
thus prepared, but the coachman, the
WAGNER, and all others who use horses
during the hot weather. -

:. Tenn The Corn I1afc .,

\ correspondent of the Iowa Home
stead says sensible words, as follows:
Tend your corn tceU tend it late
don't be deferred because a timid
neighb)r, who may like an excuse fo1
neglect, says you viii ruin 1t if tended
when the blades curl up. This is all
bosh the blades will open as the sun
recedes behind the tree tops, and your
corn will grow apace. If you abandon
your corn early, that inevitable late
crop of weeds and grass will come upon
your land like cloud, and in place of
corn you will reap nubbins. Therefore,
we say, tend your land late, and crowd
it with few tons of turnips, by having
the late weeds and grass exterminated,
your ground in a mellow condition, and
sowing thereon few pounds of turnip
seed about the Goth of August"
