Hen Manure .. . PeraiIl.er.

Hen manure is an excellent fertilizer. 1t
should be kept dry until il is needed for use,
and then il may be well mixed into the
soil or be dissolved and applied as a liquid
manure taking care not to give too much
TO tender plants as ii is very strong. The
liquid sprinkled upon plants infested with
insects is salutory in Its effects, but it is
better for this purpose il pulverized fine
while dry and mixed with dry dust from
the road, and then sprinkled on plenti-
fully while the dew is on. Guano is i'm no
respect better than good hen manure. No
ashes or lime should be mixed with IL as il
dispels the strength of the manure. This
is something always easy to obtain, and is
without exception one of the best sub
stances known for such uses.

The National AcademvVor sc,c,,,..

BosToN, Nov. 23.-At the closing meeting of
the national academy of science to-day Profess
scr Pierce presented the following resolution
that committee be appointed upon memorial
izing congress conceI ming the action upon scien-
titc subjects which shall tend to elevate the ma
ton. Professor Pierce made warm speech in
favor Of this resolution, commendng congress
and the administration for enlightenment and
lberality, and saying that he had no doubt an
earnest appeal by the academy would meet with
success.
Professor Agassz was equally warm in his
support of the motion, saying that
the government had proved itself liberal in
its aid to science, but it needed advice to direct
its appropriations. Properly, he thought, the
academy should have government aid, that the
information it collects might be properly dis
seminated. There was a great difficulty in Sc
curing the best men for scientific work, and he
thought the government should be recon-
mendcd TO secure the services of eminent scieu-
titc men of other countries where they could be
procured, in order TO contribute to the growth
of science in this country.
The motion Of Professor Pierce was carried,
and the academy adjourned.

New ORLEANS, Nov. 24.-The following is a
view from the state Semi-ofi1ca standpoint of
the political situation:
Under the old election law, all returns were
sent to the governor. Before the federal court
issued an injunction restraining the state re-
turning board, OF which Gov. Warmoth is pres
ident, election returns from nearly all the
parishes had been canvassed, showing the cleo
ton of the entire fusion state ticket by from
1000 to 10000, with fusion congressman elected
except in the third and fifth districts, where
Darrell and Moore, republicans were elected ;
and the legislature staudlng-in the house IS
liberals TO 35 republicans, and in the senate q
liberals tc Is republicans.
The custom house returning board are en-
Joined by the eighth district court, consequently
they cannot act. Moreover, no official returns
whatever have been delivered to them by state
authorities, who are in possession of the ballots.
The governors returning board is enloined by
the federal court, that if any returning board
exists under the law it is restrained by the
courts from acting, as it is claimed that no re-
turning board exists in consequence of the sign
ing and promulgating of the new law, which
supercedes the old one. The judicial and other
officers recently elected, and who have been
commissioned by the government acting under
the new election law, are recognized by the SUI
preme court Of the state.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-The commissioners
TO investigate the Outrages on the Rio Grande
border have completed their report which is
very long. They spent two hours with the pres
ident yesterday, when he asked many expana-
tons, taking deep interest. The commission.
ers confined their investigations to a distance of
800 miles, from the mouth of the Rio Grande to
Rio Grande City, estimating that the Amer-
cans included within that limit have, by Mexi-
can raids, suffered to the extent of $50 600 O00
to say nothing of the murders committed by
the MeXcans. They think that if they had
continued the investigation as far as FL Paso, it
would have been discovered that the total loss,
including those caused by Indian raids, would
have increased TO S1O0,O0O,OOO, They urge pro
lection to the border by an increase of cavalry;
otherwise predatory war will result. The APP
preparation for the commission is exhausted
but a new one will be made to continue the
investigations. There is no doubt the president
will urge prompt legislation upon congress.

division Of the political forces in the French ma

the extreme right, who believe in the
extreme legiumsrs notions, the white flag the
pope, and no divinity thousand years old. The
first section, Of very extreme radicals, numbers
seventy members, and here Louis Blanc may be

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 24.-The following
Official report has been received at the signal
service office
BosToN, Nov. 10.
TO the CHIEF Signal officer of the Armv. Wash.
mgtOB. d. g.,
In reply TO your Geographic dispatch, received
TINS morning, directing me TO make a full re-
port OF the meteoric phenomena attending the
recent great fire, would respectfully saw that
the wind at this station during the progress of
the fire varied from north northwest to north
win a velocity OF five to nine miles per hour,
the weather being clear, cool and pleasant. On
approaching the fire, on the north or wind
ward side, as close as the heat would
allow, the indraught of air through
tue burning streets assumed the char
acter Of brisk wind, probably sixteen or
eighteen miles per hour, while the heat was so
intense as TO cause smoke, steam etc., to be car
rled up in spiraS to great elevation. On the
south or lee side the induced currents of air
wera very strong, probably thirty Or thirty-6ve
miles per hour, carrying fire bodily TO the wind
ward. This state OF affairs appears the reverse
OF the Chicago fire, where the strength OF the
wind was sufficient 10 overcome the induced
currents, and the fire burned to the leeward 1t
appears as if the high wind permitted the in
draught to rise at considerable height
after reaching the fire, leaving a large space
of highly rariied air in its front and inducing
stronger currents of flow, which, meeting
the indraught, gave the spiral or whirlwind
form to the ascending current. During the fire
mock OF ducks passed at great height over
head, and the light reflected from their plumage
made them appear as fire balls passing rapidly
through the air. Many who saw them called
them metc0rs, and likened them to the balls of
