To REDUCE BONES TO MEAL.-A
writer in the Horticultural says he
buys bones of the butcher at dollar
the hundred pounds, and considers
them the cheapest fertilizer he can
obtain. He transforms them into
meal by the following simple and eff
fective process: | have large wa
ter-tight hogs-head standing out
doors, near the kitchen. In the
spring l cover the bottom about six
inches deep with dry soil. On this
| put layer of bones about the
same depth, and cover them entirely
with unleached ashes. On these
another layer of bones, then ashes,
and so on until the hogshead is full,
| leave it, then, exposed to the sun
and rain all summer and winter, un
til the next spring. Then, on re-
moving the contents Of the hogshead,
| find nearly all the bones so soft
that they will crumble to powder
under a very slight pressure, and,
mixed with the ashes and the soil,
they give nice little pile of most
valuable manure, ready for immedi
ate use. Any of the bones not suf'
fciently subdued, return to the
hogshead again for another twelve
months slumber.

THE GREAT SPANISH ORATOR.

1t is certainly worth a pilgrimage
to Mecca or Madrid to see and hear
that man of men, the perfect orator.
Such an orator. Senior CASTELAR, says
is FIGUERAs, the Spanish Repubh-
can leader. He has the purest,
noblest character imagina le,-he as
frankness, sincerity, fidelity person
flied. He has indomitable energy,
the most delicate political skill, ar
dent devotion to conviction, and eX-
cellent culture. SO much for the
framework of his eloquence. Ills
speeches are sober, correct and bril-
liant; earnest, courteous, calm and
reasonable !; wonderfully acute, and
at the same time persuasive. When
it is necessary he knows how to
thrill the Cortes with his passion
ate fervor ; and at times he rises to
sublimity. He has the kceuest per-
ception of the weak points in the
enemy's armor, and the most eXquis
lite sense of opportunity he can call
up storms upon the Opposition
benches with the same facility with
which he Gains them among his own
partisanS. He has a prodigious
memory, unalterable serenity and
self possession, wears benevolent
smile when his lips are sending forth
shafts of bitterness, and holds him
self in perfect calm, while hearers
are quivcring with the excitement
produced by his eloquence. And,
withal his free, attitude, and action
are full of majesty and simplicity.

WHOLESOME Law.

The sympathy expressed for the
''poor drunkard" has been different
" expressed by recent act of the
Wisconsin Legislature, which pro-
vides, among other things, that lit
shall be unlawful within this State
for any person to become intoxlcat-
ed" The punishment of violators
Of the law is Imprisonment from one
day to two months CERTAIN. with a
further contingent imprisonment at
the discretion of the court until the
cost of conviction are betrayed
Further still, any person found
drunk may be taken in charge by
any person SO disposed. and held
until sober, when the expense OF his
keeping, together with a fee of tgo
dollars per diem, must be paid
This is a move in the right direction
but it should be improved upon by
chasing drunkenness with insanity,
and taking the person to an asylum.
A person who viii get drunk is only
fit to live in an asylum.

FORMALITY.

We envy neither the men or wo-
men who cannot speak to a fellow
creature out of their own CIRCLE
nor to anybody without the formal
ty of an introduction. There is no
computing the amount OF profit as
well as pleasure such persons lose by
hedging themselves in with this stu
pid fence of fastidiousness. We
have always found more of this feel
ing among persons who were touchy
on their social position, than among
those self-respecting persons who
thought nothing about it. A great
deal of intelligence is floating round
the world without being labeled, and
those men or women who have the
good sense to recognize this fact and
act upon it, not only are educating
themselves, but conterring that
pleasure which we are all bound By
the common ties of humanity to ex-
change with each other. 1t seems
to us that it is only the snob and
pretender who takes a different view
of this question.

NOT ENOUGH.

How many toll on, disquiet and
harass themselves, as if desperately
struggling against poverty, at the
same time that they are surrounded
with abundance have not only
enough, but more than enough-far
more, in fact, than they actually en-
joy. Still, on they go, worrying
themselves necessarily in the en-
deavor 0 acquire more property, as
if under the influence of some fatal
spell. To the tasks of labor there
are seasons of intermission but to
the tolls imposed by the vain en-
deavor to satisfy imaginary wants,
there are none. 1t would seem that
enough is a nonentity, dream, a
misunderstanding conceived pos
sible to be met with, yet never
found. As far, indeed, as our neigh
bors are concerned, we can general
ly find very good and efficient reas
ons Why they ought to sit down per
fectly satisfied aud, content with what
has fallen to their let. But in our
own case that is, in each mans
particular case-the argument be-
comes altogether changed, and every
one can find good reasons wherefore
he should be exempted from the rule
he lays down for others, and be priv
LEGGED to be discontinued. The true
policy is, it we cannot raise our CIR
cumstances to the level of our de
sires, our endeavor must be TO cut
down our desires and expectations
TO the level of our circumstanc es /;
and we should thea generally find
that we have quite enough, where
we now fancy we have too little.

A good joke is told of a young
man who attended social CIRCLE
The conversation turned on Califor-
MIA and getting rich. Tom remark
ed that if he was in California he
would, instead of working in the
mines, waylay some rich man, who
had bag full of gold, knock his
brains out, pick up the gold and
skedaddle. One of the young ladies
quietly replied that he had better
gather up the brains, as he evident
ly stood more in need of that article
than gold. Tom subsidized.

DEATH OF THE LARGEST WOMAN
IN THE WORLD.

Mrs. Amelia Brooks, said to be
the largest woman in the world, and
weighing between 900 and 1000
pounds, died at st. Louis last week.
Her profession wa that of nurse,
in which business she was engaged
until very recently. She was eight
hours dying AS no coffin could be
found large enough for her, box was
built six feet long twenty eight
inches broad aud twenty six in depth.
Eveu this was not sufficiently wide,
and il was found necessary TO press
the form nine inches, but as that
was the widest box that could be got
into the room without tearing out
the front of the house it was thought
more charitable to reduce the clay
than to injure the premises. Her
dimensions were five feet ten inches
in height, twenty eight inches across
the shoulders and thirty seven inch
es across the hips. Her arms were
thirty six inches in circumference,
and her thighs sixteen inches in d.
ameter. When she had been array
ed in burial vestmenrs it was found
impossible for seven men to lift her.
Finally the box was tilted on one
side and she was rolled in while the
priest chanted the services of the
dead. She was then placed in a
large wagon, which proceeded care
fully to Calvary Cemetery. The
wagon was backed up to the grave
and eight men and six rollers com
bined the exertions to lower her
into her narrow bed.

POOR WORK! POOR FARM! POOR

CROPS
As poor animals are usually in
tested with vermin, SO poor soil is
perverted and poisoned by sour and
pernicious weeds. Year after year,
like vermin, these noxious weeds
thicken and tighten their roots in
the soil, absorbing in their growth
the heterogeneous and vegetable mat
ter that else should develop into
sweet and life sustaining grasses and
grain. Vainly the soil, sickened by
the poison growth. strives to cast it
off, or free itself from these bitter
enemies to it's health. Bull-tongue

my feeble efforts behalf OF the glorious OF tenn
perance and the elevation Of my fellOw-man have thus
early won me their confidence and esteem. But Sir,
while thanking the members OF the Convention for
this unexpected and scarcely deserved compliment, 1
cannot consistently with my duty to the great Of
temperance, to my country and my conscience, permit
my name however feeble its influence may be) to be
used for striking at one who through good report and
evil report has always stood forth in his pure manhood
as the bold and unlinching advocate not only OF
temperance but Of everything else having for
its object the happiness and prosperity OF his
Liberty for his counfry's good. Sir, the life

those engaged n the o. dne cause OF lem
their fellowcizens whose whole life had been iden
titled with their cause dld not Ior moment suppose,
indeed do now believe, that any considerable pOr
ton OF those OF fellowciiizens who believe our
country, like individual must be governed by pure,
honest aud enlightened action, Will on the 9th day of
November next be found not supporting honest Horace
Greeley. Pardon me, then, dear Sir, n respectfully
appeal to you one OF the good and great leaders
OF oar cause before 1t be too late, 10 take po-
siton by putting your shoulder TO the wheel,
and assist the true lovers OF liberty and cOuntrys
peace and prosperity in placing Horace Greeley In the
Presidential chair to the unaoyed joy, peace and con-
tennent OF every American citizen. Let your truly
able and eloquent be raised In appeal to the friends
of Temperance and equality throughout the length and
breadth land IN favor OF the election OF Horace
Greeley and the protection Of the liberties Of the cIti
zen advising and urging those who would advance the
OF Temperance, TO prove to the world that their
profession is no idle farce that faith without works
avaleh nanght that works speak louder than words.
And thus Sir shall We advance the cause OF Tempe
rance and receive the proud aud everwec0me recogn
