REDUCING Bosrs.-In tue discussion,

ing bones, Us fellows Place them in q
large kettle, filed with ashes and about
Que peck Of lime to u barrel OF bones.
Cover with water and boil. Twenty.four
hours all the bones, with the exception
perhaps, Of the hard shin bones, will be.
come so much softened as to be easily
pulyerized by hand. They will not DO
Ii PARTICLES Of bone, but in paSty con-
iitlon, aud In excellent form to mix with
loan, muck or ashes. BY boiling the
shin bones ten or twelve hours longer
they will also become soft This Is an
easy and cheap method Of reducing
bones. II the farmer would set aside
cask for the reception Of bones in some
convenient place, and throw oil that are
fourl on the farm into II, especially II
one or two herses come into his posses
sion, he will be likely TO find large col.
lection at the end Of the year, which
would prove q valuable adjunct to the
manure heap.

The Liberal Republican Party.

Ethan Allen, chairman OF the Liberal
Republican National Committee, has
written letter ia response TO an inquiry
as TO the future Of that party. In bis
letter he says:- Z y
We were defeated because no great
issues divided tue political parties, and
mere personal arguments were not sutli-
cient to bring out the popular vote or to
cause q change Of administration. We
made a platform at Cincinnati looking 10
certain reforms. AT Baltimore the de-
mocracy took the liberal platform and
the nominee. AT Philadelphia the repub.
licans adopted substantially the same
platform and narrowed the tlghtto one Of
men, not principles. sgHit.'9
He claims that Mr.. Greeley was not
unpopular, blt says, the democracy took
| 40 interest IN the election, for tue reason
that Mr.. q. had always been an enemy to
then. "It Is now.n he adds, " too soon
to determine as to tile fnture,n and con-
oludes bis letter in the followinglanguage:
IfGeneral Grant faithfully carries ont
the pledges Of his party, which are sub.
stantially the same as those made by the
liberals at Cincinnati, he may be the real,
though not to us the accepted, agent OF
reform. If General Grant carries ont the
measures Of our party, consistency, i
nothing else, may compel our approval.
We cannot honestly assail him II he does
for the nation that which we claim to be
right. 1t remains to be seen what General
Grant will DO in this direction. llo has
begun well in the CivCl Service line in
Philadelphia. VIII he continue on this
road ofreforni lfso, we must applaud
him. il he do not, we must resist like
honest men who claim to battle for the
public good. When Congress has settled
down to business presume the leaders OF
our party-MeHrs, Sumner, Trumbdll,
Schurz, linton and the many others in
the two houses-wlll "polnt the way
before us. II would he premature and
imprudent to indicate any course TIL these
able and honest men have had time and
opportunity to speak. The liberal repub,
Illcans can do no better than 10 be passive
for the present and to watch events. II
we have forced the enemy,in self.detence,
to adopt our own code otpolttcal morals,
then we have already won the Victory,
even though other hands than those
which We would have chosen execute tile
reform. But II the party in power prove
by their tesreancy that the vows made IN
the storm are TO be broken in tho sun.
shine, then II will DO In order to Feld
every liberal republican again to hla
proper place TO prove BY future efforts
| that the eliberAl victory has 10 truth been
only postponed.

The Sculd's Bride.

When blackstone wrote his commentaries,
Il was the law In EnHlBDd that EC0ldinR wc-
man was a nuisance, aud Shc could DO indicted
and punished by what was known as tho duck
ing.stool. This was kind Of chair to
which the seold was fastened, and In which
she was then plunged into the water as often
as Il was thought hOr oilsnsc deserved.
Il seems, according TO tho LonIsyillO C0rR-
brary has recently been enriched by an ins,;u-
ment Of torture for the stlectual punishment OF
seolds. ftisa" Drank, or Ecold's bride, o
the kind used years ago in England aud Scot
land for tho punishment Of females who werO
adlnJged to have mnic too free use OF the
tongue. II was dug from tho ground in our
sister State Of Tennessee, where, beneath the
walls Of IN unnhabiied building, Il had lain
time out Of mind. II bears the rust Of years,
and, no doubt, came TO this country with tho
earliest settlers. Possibly some lard Of crea-
tion who had scolding wife in tic Otd World,
brought with him to the NeH bis yixatrix, Rn
instrument OF controlling her.
II consists Of an iron band 10 pass under tho
chin and over tho top part Of the head, with
sharp chisetShSped projection, extending two
inches inwardly, TO be inserted into the mouth.
Il was held In It's place BY another iron band
extending round tho back part Of the head and
fastened with paddock, When the instru
ment. was thus put on the srold, her tonguu
had to rcrede to the back part tf her mouth,
and lhero remain quiet or DO cut to pieces by
the sharp edge Of the iron put there for that
purpose. To scoll or even talk In this fix was
impossible, and tho woman thus bridlCd had 10
keep silence.
DR.. platt, wko wrote history Of Stafford.
shire, grew eloquent Ia bis description Of tho
Drank, and In giving It preference over the
ducking.stool. llo said the durkiRg.stool
might give tho woman cold and thus injure her
health, and In addition she could uSc her tSn.
que during the intervals between one ducklnR
and another. The Drank was open to none Of
these objections, In the learned doctors opin.
ion, but was Just tho thing for the work to be
done.
In shape, the Drank Is not unlike the briilc
or halter used for mules in this country. Tho
striking difference Is IN tho Drank being entire.
ly Of iron, while the bridalc Of the mule Is Of
leather, except tho bit. The English or
Scotch seold must have been tOrible animal
to require bride entirely Of iron, when It Is
known hero that we eau handle nulus with
leAthetn halteu.

The intense and long-continued heat Of
seasons like the past Is due, according to
recent foreign writer, not 90 much to
what Is going on in the sun, as to the
operation of terrestrial influences. 1t is
really question Of TIE amount of atmos-
pheric moisture, which tends to condne
The heat, and which varies with circum-
stances, the chief being the character OF
the prevailing winds. Daring our sum
mer the winds may come from tho drier
regions OF the earth, and our skies may be
clear and dry; during another, moist
winds may prevail, and then, even though
the sky remain clear, tho air becomes
loaded with invisible aqueous yapor;
more commonly, however, the skies are
olouded at such times. Thus the several
winds, Independent Of their actual
warmth or GOODNESS, operate to modify
tho temperature of our summer, by oaus.
Ing the air to Ue moro or less moisture
laden. The unseen yapor Of water eXerts
q wonderful effect en- the temperature. It
acts In this respect like the glass cover
ings Of our hot-houses, which, though
transparent to light, and to the direct
heat which comes from the sun, are al.
most Us impermeable to the heat within
as though they were opaque. We're the
air FREQ from watery vapor, we should re-
ceive as great q degree Of heat directly
from tho sun; but this heat would not be
accumulated, because the earth would be
free to pour 1t away again into space.
On cloudy nights no dew Is precipitated, ,

tho condensation OF the wGtery yapor in
the air. Like the cloud, a large amount
OF moisture in the air imnedes the escape

passage 6f heat from tho sun to the earth,
