ORANGE RIOT IN SCoTLAND.-The cele-
bration of the 18th of July in Scotland has
unhappily attended with fatal and serious
consequences. Two lodges of Orangemen
returning from demonstration in the
District of Wishaw. were attacked by
number Of Catholics, and serious riot
took place. Pick shafts and slaves were
employed by the assailants, and some
women threw stones and other missiles.
Two Of the Orangcmen had their heads
opened by blows dealt with the shafts, and
three were severely injured. The riot was
quclled in less than half an hour. Three
Catholics named McGinlay, Hughes, and
Ferns, all miners, were apprehended for
assault, collier named McGuire for mol
esting the police, and women named
Fcchan for throwing stones. The prisoners
were brought before the magistrates at the
Wjslaw Borough Court. The three men
charged with assault were fined 40 shil
lmgs, with the alternative of thirty days
imprisonment, and were bound over to
ke p the peace for six months. Mcclure
was fined 60, and the women fl. About
three hours after the riot, and when the
town seemed perfectly quiet, the police
received information that one ef the lead
ing members Of the Orange party in
Wishaw, had been brutally assaulted in a
back street. The man. was a collier named
Skclllon, was found ly ing ON the roadside
insensible, ami seemed to have been dread
fully kicked and struck about the head,
and only survived an hour. The police
after long search came upon three men,
who were ali Ir,shmen and known Ribbon
men, offered resistance ultimately they
were secured and taken to the police office.

AN OLD STRUCTURE.-A man who has
lately visited the grand pyramid of Cheops,
wading in the sand fourteen hundred feet
before he had passed one of its sides, and
between FIVE and six thousand teet before
he had made the circuit. says, that taking
one hundred city churches of the ordin
ary, width, and arranging them in hol-
low square, twenty-five on side, you
would have scarcely the basement of the
pyramid. Take another hundred and
throw the material in the hollow square
and it would not be full; pile on all the
bricks and mortar in the city of New
York, and the structure would not be so
high and solid as the great work of man.
One layer of bricks was long since re-
moved to Cairo for building purposes, and
enough remains to supply the demands
of city of half million of people for a
century to come, if permitted to use it
with perfect freedom. Cheops was built
2,123 years before the Christian era.

THAT'S MANA farmer in Illinois had

THAT'S MANA farmer in Illinois had
q neiebbor across the Wabash in Indiana
who was keeping pauper on contract at
bis house. In the corr-hoeing season the
Illinois man sometimes borrowed his
Deighbor's pauper to help in the corn field.
Bill Turner had pauper working for him,
and as no one in the neighborhood bad
ever seen a pauper, they were very anxious
to get peep at him. Consequently soma
twenty of them joined together one day,
armed with their shot-guns and rifles, and
went over to Turner's to see the strange
creature. They got cautiously over the
fence, and came up to where the men were
working. "BiIl," said Silas Brown, their
spokesman, "we've heard that you've got
a paupcr working for you, and we'd like to
sre it" Bill thereupon pointed out the
object of their curiosity. The visitors
walked around the astonisbed pauper and
silently surveyed him from every point of
view. At last Silas spoke. "Look here,
Bill Turner" said he, "you can't fool us :;
that's a man." We wish all those in
charge OF charitable institutions had the
same idea about paupers as Silas had.

Farmhouse Notes.

BAKED TOMATOES. Peel and mince
enough to fill quart dish season them
with sugar, mace, pepper, salt and a
little minced onion. Put layer of
crumbs upon the bottom of the dish,
then layer of tomatoes, little butter ;
another OF bread crumbs, until the dish
is full. Bread crumbs must be strewn
thickly over the top; lay over bits of
butter. Bake in a moderately hot oven
two hours.
A FAMOUS SCOTCH DIsH-Cut up
fresh cod fish in pieces four inches
square lay them on the bottom of the
pan, then layer of cut potatoes, and
SO continue alternate layers, cooking
enough for the ia nily. An ordinary
sized onion sliced and lump Of fresh
butter, ought to be placed between each
layer. Finish with q layer of butter
crackers, or toasted stale bread cover
with water, and stew about 20 minutes !;
season with salt.
BAKED Butter PUDDING WITH APPLES.
Take half pound Of -four and the whites
of two eggs, half ateaspoonful of baking
powder, and one teaspoonful of salt. Rub
the powder fill smooth, mix it we'll with
the four, adding the salt, and as much
milk as will make it a stiff batter, beat it
until quite smooth, then add the remain
der of the milk aud the eggs, well bea'en.
Put some apples, cut as for pie, into a
buttered dish, pour the batter over, and
bake it in moderately hot oven. Dam
SONS, currants, gooseberries or rhubarb,
may be used in the same way.
To DRIVE OUT RArs.-Put fresh
chloride of lime into their hCles or finely
powdered carbonate of potash. They
may make new holes, which should be
treated in the same manner. By per-
sisting few days, the p.sts will disap-
pear. The remedy for the disease in
the head of fowls is not so apparent. If
it is roup-which is indicated by swollen
eyes and throat and the discharge of a
yellowish matter-is may be cured by
washing with weak solution of chloride
of zinc, and injecting it into the nostriIs.
The inside of the mouth should be
washed out with a small swab made of
piece of sponge taste led to stick.
Fowls AS A1Ds.-A gentleman in
Providence, r. l., raises perfect fruit in
a one acre orchard, but he keeps thirty
assistants. They are clothed in feathers
and are of the Dominique persuasion.
A correspondent of the NeW England
Farmer calls attention to this suggestive
fact, and in further proof OF the advan-
tage of the practice he cites the case of
a competent English gardener who when
he took charge of certain ornamental
grounds, astonished the natives by intro
ducing men and her brood. In expla-
nation of this innovation, he stated
that III first. class gardens abroad chick
ems and ducks are constantly kept, and
prove very beneficial as destroyers of
slugs, worms, and bugs. Fowls jsually
resort to one place to dust themselves,
and their scratching depends upon the
supply of food obtained without scratch
ing. They do not work long IN place
without reward. They should be fed
some gram, and not be made to entirely
depend upon insects.

African Market Women.

The Manyema women, especially far
down the Lualaba, says DR.. Livingstone,
are very pretty and very industrious. The
market with them is a great institution,
and they work hard and carry far in order
to have something to sell. Markets are es-
teblished about 10 or Is miles apart.
There those who raise cassava, muiza,
grain, and sweet potatoes exchange them
for oil, salt, pepper, fish, and other rel
ishes. Fowls, also pigs, goats, grass
cloth, mats, and other articles change
hands. All dressed in their best candy
colored, many folded kits, that reach
from waist to knee, when 1000 or 5000
are together form an interesting sight.
They enforce justice, though chiefly wo-
men, and they are such eager traders that
they set off in companies by night and
begin to run as soon as they come within
the hum arising from hundreds Of voices.
To haggle and joke and laugh and chat
seem the dearest eDjoyments oil life. They
confer great benefit on each other. The
Bagenys women are expert divers for
oysters, which they sell with fish in ex-
change for farinaceous food from the wo-
men from the East, the Lualaba, who per
fer cultivating the soil to fishing. The
Manyemas have always told US that wo-
men going to market are never molested.
When the men of two districts were en-
gagged in actual open hostilities the women
passed through from one market to anoth-
er unharmed. To take her goods, even
in war, was thing not to be done; but
at these market women the half castes
directed their guns. Two cases that
came under my own observation were 80
sickening that l cannot allow my mind
to dwell upon or write about them.
Many of both sexes were killed, but the
women and children chiefly made captives.
No matter how much ivory they obtained
these Moslems must have slaves, and they
assaulted market people and villages and
made captives chiefly of women and chill
dren, as it appeared to me, and because,
as men ran off at the report of guns, they
could do it without danger. had no idea
before how blood thirsty men can be when
they can pour out the blood of their fell

RELIC OF A FAMOUS sTEMPLE.-Dr. D. P.
LiTermore of Hallowell, Me-, has in bis
possession very interesting curiosity. 1t
is piece of the famous Chinese Porcelain
Tower, built at Marking, by the Emperor
Yunglob, to reward the kindness of his
mother. 1t was begun in the year AL
and completed in l430. The board of
works was ordered, according to the plan
of the emperor, to build tower nine
stories high, the bricks and tiles to be
glazed, and Of fine colors, and it was to be
superior to all others, in order to make
widely known the virtues Of his mother.
Its height was to be 332 feet; it was Of an
octagonal form, each side being Is feet
wide. Its base was upon solid founda-
ton of brick-work, 10 feet high, up which
flight of II steps led into the tower,
where spiral staircase led to the top.
The body of the edifce was composed of
brick, the outer face Of which was covered
with slabs of glazed porcelain of various
colors. 1t is piece OF this glazed porce-
lain that Mr.. Livermore has. The lowest
Of the nine stories was l20 feet in crcum-
ference, but the tower decreased in size to
the top, and at each story was projecting
roof, with ball suspended at each corner
-144 in all. On the outer face of each
story were sixteen lanterns, the light of
which illuminated the thirty-three
heavens, shining into the hearts Of all men,
good and bad, eternaIly removing human
misery" Each story formed saloon,
which was finely painted and adorned with
numerous gilded images. On the top Of
the highest roof were two brazen vessels,
weighing together 1000 pounds, and a
brazen bowl besi1es weighing 500 pounds.
Encircling the spire, which was 80 feet
high, were 9 iron rings. tie largest being
69 feet in circumference, and the smallest
"a feet, weie hing 1000 pounds. Surmount-
inc the spire was ball filled with pearls
and precious stones. The brilliancy Of
the editice, according to the Chinese annal-
ist, would endure to hundreds of genera
tiohs, a monument of recompensing kind
ness to myriadS of years. Therefore, it Vas
named Paugansz, or Recompensing Pagoda.
For two or three centuries it has had tie
appearance Of having suffered of a stroke Of
lightning, which the CHR ese attributed to
conflict of the god of thunder with
demons; in pursuing them to the pagoda,
they said, he injured the building. In
1856 the TAPPING rebels blew this magniti
cent monument of the gratitude of son
for his mothers love, to pieces with gun
powder, and its very site will in time be
forgotten.

ington, has no rival for beauty, hardly for
sanctity. Believers in three great reli-
gions revere the spot where Solomon's
Temple once stood; the Mohammedan,
who only exalts Mecca little higher /;
the Jew, who has no other actual sanctu-
airy, and who expects to meet reconciled
Jehovah at that accepted shrine; and the
Christian, who held it awhile through the
Crusaders valor, and is quietly coming
into possession of it again. The blue-and-
white Temple seems as cloud resting for
a moment over the altar of so many thou
sand years sacrifice, by-and-by to melt
away in the serene heavens. No struc-
ture that ever stood there could have
been more graceful, none more sublime.
1t is strange that so charming mode

patterns have been servilely copied, but
none hss been attempted of this, whose
perfection is said to have cost the artist

tiles-an area of one thousand by fifteen
hundred feet-have proved all that was
coniectured about the antiquity of the
oevelled stones forming the outer wall.
They certainly go back to Solomon, and
are remarkable stone-work for that early
day, though Ear inferior to the Egyptian
masterpieces, where thousands of artisans
spent their lives in decoration of single

Cont is singular that the name of
God should be spelled in four letters in
almost every known language. 1t is in
Latin, Deus; in Greek, Zeus; Hebrew,
Adon; Syrian, Adad Arabian, ALA !;
Persian, Syrs; Tartarian, Igad;
Egyptian, Aumn; or Zeut; East India,
Esgi or Zeul; japanese, Zain; Turkish,
Adds Scandinavian, Odin; Wallachian,
Sene; Margian, Eese; Swedish, Oodd !;
Irish, Dich; German, Gott; French,
Dieu; Spanish, Dios; and Peruvian,
Liam. The name of God is the Anglo,
Saxon conception of the Divine Being.
He is goodness itself, and the author of
II goodness. Yet the idea of denoting
he Deity by term equivalent to abstract
and absolute perfection, striking as it may
appear, is, perhaps, less remarkable than
the fact that the word man, used to des-
ignate human being, formerly signi6ed
wickedness.

IRON IN THE BLoop.-Probably no fact

IRON IN THE BLooD.-Probably no fact
in medical or chemical science is more
widely understood than that there is iron
in the blood" As fact it is no more re-
maikable than that this fluid holds potas-
sium or sodium, or that the brain is per-
meated with phosphorus. The popular
curiosity and interest regarding iron as it
exists in the circulation have been excited
by the venders of quack remedies alleged
to contain some combination of the ele-
ment. While there is much that is very
absurd in the statements popularity pre-
sented, it is impossible to overlook the
importance to the well-being of the indi-
vidual of the few grains of iron found in
the blood. II the quantity is diminished
from any cause, the whole economy suffers
serious arrangement. We have reason to
believe that when the normal quantity
(about 100 grains) is reduced ten per cent.
the system is sepsibly affected, and the
health suffers. How sensitive to all the
chemical reactions going on within and
around is this complex machine we call the
body! But iron, among the mineral con-
stituents Of the body, does not stand alone
in its important relationship. The metals
exist combined with other bodies, or they
are locked up in the form of salts, which
are vital to the economy. There are five
pounds of phosphate Of lime, one of car
Donate of lime, three ounces of fuorlde Of
calcium, three and half ounces of common
salt, all of which have important offices to
fill. Not one of them must be allowed to
fall in quantity below the normal standard.
If the lime fails, the bones give way ifsalt
is withheld, the blood suffers, and digestion
is impaired ; if phosphorus is sparingly
furnished, the mind is weakened, and the
tendency is towards idlocy.-Dr. Nichols's
