was dressed neatly in black silk. and

said 1t was respect aud affection for her
aged parents that compelled her to inter-

November, when she advocated the chan O
OF her husband every day if she liked, and
the same sentiments induced her to an

As a top-dressing for fruit trees, vines,

by cultivation, the preparation described

BILE it more speedily to soften and dissolve
the bones, which, when lime is thus used,
need not be necessary in the absence of
quicklime. With its use IN this way, and
with sufficiency OF good unleached wood

| cracked up with the hammer, may easily
be softened
Take one barrel Of pure, finely ground
bone, and mix with it barrel of good
wood ashes: during the mixing, add grad
uaily three pailsful of water. The heap
may be made upon the floor Of AN out

the use Of the hoe, the bone and ashes
must be thoroughly blended together.

DEEP FLOWING.
The testimony Of all the agricultural

IS, all of it, in favor of deep blowing and
deep cultivation. To pillow deep, is to re-
new the soil by bringing up to the liph, of
ire sun and benefit of the air, the riches
which lie below. 1t is to afford the grow
ing plant more plani-food and facilitate ac-
cess to 1t. 1t is to provide drainage when
the soil is wet, and moisture when it is
dry.

Fall OF q Burning netooric Stone In
New York City.


On Monday last, IS Mr.. William, Ri.
lian, owner of lager beer saloon at
the corner Of North William and Frank
fort streets, was standing at the door
of the saloon, in company with few
friends, he noticed . large stone re.
sembling iron ore fall on the pavement
before him, where it split into mum.
Der of pieces. On picking them up,
he noticed that they were of q soft
oonsistenoe, quite hot and gave of 4
hot sulphuric odor. On showing it to
q number of geologists and other per-
sons who were interested in it, they
unhesitatingly pronounced it . meteor
ic stone, and crowds called during
he day to inspect it and obtain = speci-
men If they could. In size 1t was
about ten pounds weight, and of very
soft Conscience, and in appearance the
stone is of q brownish color, resem-
bling iron-stone, and is perforated with
q number of small holes or crevicea,
similar to piece of coral. The COM
position of the stone is in great part
oxide of iron, combined With the sui
phurets. This is about the period
when meteoric showers make their ap-
pearance, but are not very regular az
to time. The display of meteors which
took place last Saturday was of . vivid
and brilliant character; they were OF
varying colors. These are known az
the August meteors, but are not Of 10
varied and regular q character a. those
which take place in the month of No.

Strange Scenes at a Camp Meeting.


The National Association for the
Promotion of Holiness has Just closed
nine days camp meeting at Rich
mond, Me-, the closing scenes of
which, as described by the Portland
Press, were certainly unique, whatever
the unsanctified may think as to their
value in the way of promoting holiness,
After singing a stirring song, the
president, vice.president, and two other
clergymen, then arm in arm, four
abreast, took up the line of march
around the stand. About a thousand
joined in the procession. As they
marched they sang some of those wild,
pathetic songs this sect is Fso famous
for. Twice around the inclosure the
great procession slowly tramped to the
music of the song. After the second
tramp around, a halt was made, the
men forming line facing the circle.
The sisters now in single file, slowly
passed along the waiting line of men,
shaking each by the hand as they
passed, many of the more excited Sis
ters throwing their arms around some
favorite brothers neck, giving him the
Kiss of holy love. After the ~ women zen
had passed, the last brother in the line
followed in behind, the line of men
thus doubling on itself. Here some of
the men followed the example of the
sisters, brother kissing brother as thew
passed. The shouts, and amens, and
hallelujahs were hearty and frequent.
Perhaps thousand persons witnessed
this unique scene.

Quatlrature Of a Circle.

When a man can stand in q basket
and lift it up himself by the handles,
tLen q round cork will close square
hole.
These are plain propositions. But
it has so happened that there have been
a succession of mathematical madcaps,
from time to time since the days OF
Archimedes to the present year of
moonshine, vainly striving to accom-
plish an impossibility, viz, squaring
the circle.
Many fine brains have been needless
y shipwrecked on that cerebral rock.
If q bunghole of a barrel could be
closed with four-sided stopple, that
would be complete solution of the
problem.
The last two mathematical maniacs
who died in the belief that they had
proved by figures that desideratum,
were Abraham Thompson, of Boston,
and George Young, of Vermont.
Mr.. Young actually petitioned the
Legislature of Massachusetts for COM
pensation, as a reward of his ingenuity
in doing what no other man achieved.
He died about twenty years ago, crush
cd in spirit by a sense of the injustice
of the State in not appreciating his
merits as discoverer.
Mr.. Young had been a member oi
Congress. He was an amiable, excel
lent man. His monomania on that
subject did not assume the intense
form it did in Mr.. Thompson, although
he was apparently satisfied he had
mastered the difficulties which had OBJ.
structed the way of other mathema'
ticians.

Perturbation or the SIMS Surface.


Mr. William F. Denning, of Bristol,
England, writes to Nature that the suns
surface has recently been in a very dis
turbed condition. On observing the
sun on the afternoon of the 18th inst
with an old four.inch metallc-mirror
rejecting telescope, he noticed q large
scattered group of spots in the North.
eastern quadrant Of the disc. This
group contained no less than twenty
seven individual spots, one of which
was of considerable dimensions. It was
situated on the Eastern portion of the
group, and was constituted of three
well defined umbrB and large irregu-
lar penumbra, which on the East side
was very dark, and on the exterior
edge pierced with q train of minute
dark spots. In the other quadrants
Mr.. Denning noticed four groups and
one isolated spot surrounded by penum-
bra in the Northwestern quadrant.
These groups (though insignificant in
regard to the dimensions Of the spots
which compose them) contain twenty.
one spots in all; so that, including the
large cluster before referred TO, there
were forty-eight dark spots seen alto
gether. Several groups of facule were
also perceptible in the vicinity of the
margin of the disc

Painful Accident,

Charles Smell, aged twelve years, q
son of Crawford Smell, of Tiverton, r.
l., went out with party one day last
week for the purpose of picking whor-
tleberries. He soon became separated
from his companions, who were soon
attracted by loud crying, to q spot
where the boy was found lying on his
back almost insensible. He was at
once taken home, and upon arriving
there it became apparent that the boy
had been bitten BY a snake, and his
jaws were firmly set together, 80 that
it became difficult to administer medi-
cine. But after while they succeeded
in getting him to swallow quart of
whiskey, and summoned doctor, who
Immediately commenced operations,
endeavoring to bring the boy to con-
sciousness, ~hich was soon accom-
plished. The boy stated that he had
been bitten by a rattlesnake Just above

the boy has acted in all manners like q
snake, darting in and out of the house,
trying to crawl through the stone walls,
and acting in other ways too painful to

HIDDEN TREASURES OF ARIZONA,

Arrival Of an Exploring Party with
Specimens OF Gold, Silver and Prcci-
ous Stoncs-Fl0svlnE OIL Wells Dis
covered.
A Los Angeles dispatch announces
the arrival there OF the Todd party,
with Prof. Glass, from the geological
expedition through Arizona and .>ew
Mexico. They have 1000 pounds Of
specimen gold, silver, and other ores,
several pints of precious and doubtful
stones. They are en- route from Fort
Windgate to Albuquerque. On the
borders of Arizona, III what are called
tho out hills, the precious stones
were discovered all at the surface.
They have genuine rubies, the speci-
mems ranging from as largo as q pea
downward. The diamonds, if any, are
small and of little value. The party
found rich gold and silver bearing
quartz near Fort Windgate. The
party also claims to have discovered
and located flowing oil springs that
will yield from 20 to 100 barrels per
day, but they will not diyulge the pre-
else location. In the old mounds and
ruins of the ancient cities, they found
relics OF tools, pottery and woven cloth
centuries old. The party is not
as to the diamond discoveries.
Three pints of their best stones will be
tested and exhibited. They suffered
privations on the road, and narrowly
perishing while crossing the
Colorado desert.
