TO Reduce Bones to Meal

a writer in the Horticulturist says
he buys bones of the butcher at a dollar
the hundred pounds, and considers
them the cheapest fertilizer he can
obtain. He transforms them into meal
by the following simple and effective
process: I have large water-tight
hogshead Standing out doors, near the
kitchen. In the spring l cover the
bottom about six inches deep with dry
soil. On this I put Il 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. l
leave it, then, exposed to the sun and
rain all summer and winter, until the
next spring. Then, on removing the
contents Of the hogshead, I find nearly
all the bones so soft that they will
crumble to powder under Il very slight
pressure, and, mixed with the ashes
and the soil, they give nice little pile
of most valuble manure, ccidy for inn
mediate use. Any of the bones not
sufficiently subdued, l return to the
hogshead again for another twelve
months slumber.-I]Atsylt,o0 EHa"7e''.

Hogs Want Sulphur.

Whether hogs require sulphur as an
essential to their health, or whether it
is sought by them as a condiment, may
not be known for certainty. But one
thing is sure, they devour it with greed
whenever it is to be found. 1t is for
this purpose, probably, that they cat
large quantities of soft coal, which con-
tains a large amount of sulphur. Per-
haps this is the most economical way
of supplying hogs with sulphur during
the winter, when they require good
deal of carbon. But in summer it is
better to feed it to them in substance
which contain less carbon, on account
of their producing less heat. Mustard
is one of the best things for this pur-
pose, and some of it should be sown
in every pasture into which hogs are
turned. If hogs are kept in, or arc in
small yards, it is well to supply them
with the wild mustard that grows in
the fields or highways, or to cultivate
some of the better varieties for them.
They will cat its leaves, flowers, seeds
and stalks.

Calves.

1t is more humane, and better policy
beside, to take away the calf, which is
to be removed in Il few days at the far
thcst, as soon as it is dropped. The
COW ''takes on' less, and the calf does
not mind the separation at all. 1t will
learn to drink from Il pail readily. Its
diet ut first must be it's dams new milk,
and then any sweet milk after the
first week it may be changed gradually
to skinned milk with Il little oil meal

Value OF Tomatoes.

The largest crop can bc had by leav-
ing the vines trail over the ground. At
least this is the general belief, and it is
not our purpose here to dispute it. But
the best favored fruits are from plants
trained on the stakes Of fences. The
full light is essential to perfection Of
flavor in the tomato. Those who eat
them in vinegar, raw, feel !: great in
terest in first class fruit.
One fact has been pretty we'll made
out in reference to the use of raw to-
matocs and vincgar-that is, that it is
one of the best prcvcntiVcs of diarrhca
and bowel complaints generally; wheth-
or it is the astringcncy Of the vinegar,
or the action of pepper, or the tomato
itself, it is for those learned in such
matters to say. 1t is enough that the
dish has this hcalthful value.-E0rncy's

PcrspiratiOn Odors.

The unpleasant odor produced by
pcrspiration is frequently Il subject of
vcNation to persons who are subject to
it. Nothing is simpler than to remove
this odor much more cflcctually than
by the application of such angucnts
and perfumes rs arc now in use. 1t is
only necessary to procure some COM
pound spirits of ammonia, and place
about two tcaspoontulS in Il basin of
water. Washing the face, hands and
arms with this, leaves the skin as clean,
neat and fresh as one could wish. The
wash is very harmless and very cheap.
1t is recommended on the authority of
an experienced physician, and it ought
to be tried ut least by all those whose
pcr.sOnS are so offensive in this respect

Death Of a Circus Veteran in San Francisco.

IFron the San Francisco bulletin.
On Saturday, " Napoieon,' John
Wilson's old circus dog, died in this
city Mt the advanced age of twenty
three. Dogs die daily that deserve no
particular mention, but "NapOleon'
merits as fair share of honorable re-
ference RS any dog that ever lived or
died in this city. One fact alone will
prove it. He accomplished more in his
lifetime than thousands of men in
theirs he saved three persons from
drowning, at the risk of losing his own
life " Napoleon knew all about the
circus, and was never better pleased
than when witnessing or participating
in the sports of the saw-dust arena.
When he reached the years of doghoOd
he became subject to fits, resulting in
precipitation of blood to his over
wrought brain. He became his own
physician, and instead of resorting, rs
men similarly afflicted sometimes do,
to stimulating drinks, which agGr;lvatc
their maIady, he tried cold water.
Whenever he felt an attack coming on
"Napoleon'' would start for Il bucket
of water or a trough, plunge his head
into the water and hold it there as
long as he could hold his breath. This
generally had the effect he desired. AS
age advanced he became deaf and blind,
and his limbs were stiff and almost USE
less. The last attack killed him. "N;t-
poleon' was 4 'stravclcd" dog. He
came to this city from New Orleans
when but 4 youth, and soon engaged
with Wilson'S circus. With that he
visited nearly every county and town
in the State and on the coast. He also
visited Australia and China, and be-
came favorite of men wherever he
went, for he was honest and true. Yes
terday "Napoleon' was buried on a
hill at the corner of Powell and Sacra-
mento streets, in the presence of II very
large number of men who had known
and respected him. n gcntiman read
a sketch of his life, and when they all
went away, fresh flowers and wreathes
lay on old "Napoieon's' grave.

ANOTHER WARNING RATTLE.

The yattlesnake, as everybody knows,
gives the alarm before it strikes. The
Sacramento Union is quite as considerate
as that venomous snake in announcing
beforehand its contemplated treachery to
the Republican party. We were told in
advance it would oppose the Republi-
can nominees for Congress, and the
threat has been carried out. In the I'm
ion of the Sd instant it is distinctly init
mated that unless the Republican party
Of this State throw overheard their can
didates for Congress and abjectly grovel
in the dust before Anthony & Co., that
paper will hereafter do battle for the De-
mocracy. Let there be no hesitation on
the part Of Republicans in meeting the
insolent dictation Of the Union with the
singing scorn it deserves, and let there
be heard from all parts of our lines the
indignant cry, Republicans, close up
the ranks and drum the traitor out of
camp" "Whom the gods would de-
stroy they first make mad" The Union
is essaying precisely what Andrew John
son, Chase, Dooittle, Trumbull, Schurz,
Greeley, Brown, Sumner and others at
tempted and so signalIy failed in doing,
namely, to break up the Republican par
ty and build up their fortunes upon its
ruins, and that paper should have profited
by their example. 1t will when too late.

PRovING TOO MUCH.-It is a pet ar
its influence brought about change in
1867 Of thirty thousand votes in favor Of
the Democracy. This sounds bad in the
first instance, coming from a professcd
Republican paper; but gIolifying over
the matter is still worse. If the Unions
assertion is true, it proves too much, for
the elections since show that whatever
change took place then was in the main
permanent one. Under the demoral-
izing circumstances then existing the Re
publican State ticket was beaten about
three thousand votes in 1867 Next year
the popularity of General Grant, COM
bined with the boasted influence of the
Union, barely carried the State. In 1859,
with the Union pulling in Republican
harness, the county elections showed a
Democratic majority in the State OF about
seventeen thousand, while the Legisla-
ture was overwhelmingly Democratic.
The vote last year indicated change in
favor Of the Republican party, arising
from causes other than the Unions intlu-
ence. How silly it is, then, for that pa-
per to say that the result in 1867 was due
to its efforts. That it aided in the defeat
of the Republican pnrty is true, but its
sef-congra on that score are not
warranted by the facts. 1t achieved a
barren victory and gratifed personal
grudge at the expense OF its standing and
influence with the people. It's ability to
mi,lead the public and compel public
men and party organizations to dance
when Anthony & Co. whistle is lessen
ing every day, and every day only makes
the fact more apparent. The prOprie
tors OF the Union may scowl as angriy
as they can, but no one is made afraid.
They have obtruded their private quar-
rels upon the public until forbearance
ceased to be virtue, and if possessed of
a grain of wisdom they will hereafter
nurse their impotent malice in private.

VICTORY IN THE AIR"

The election news from the Eastern
States, which we publish to-day, is Of the
most gratifying character. The unprin-
ciEl d, ffice-seeking, desperate horde of
G eeleyites were hardly daunted at the
opinion of North Carolina. With brazen
ef ontery they loudly beloved fraud
Vermont and Maine followed with an
ua anistakable expression Of public senti-
m t, but figures were made to lie and
indicate a Greeley triumph in October.
The battle has been fought and glorious
victory won ! No Greeleyite with a
thmb Of brains, no matter whether
he may be renegade Republican or an
original secessionst, will contend that
the greatest renegade Of all, Horace Gree
ley, has a shadow of chance TO be Pres
idsnt. The dog is dead and the carcass
will not keep! Before the fifth Of No
vember next, the purifying, offensive
remains will be buried SO deep below the
sur ace that its existence will be among
the things that were! We are jubi!ant,
because the signs of the times foreshadow
peace and prosperity for the American
people. With Greeley at the head of af-
fairs we would be at sea without chart or
or compass. God would only know how
matters would terminate. Desperate,
bloody civil war would follow almost in
evitably, accompanied with bloodshed
and rapine and possibly resulting in des-
potsm. The picture is not overdrawn
although there may be those who curl
their lips in dersion. Knowing ones of
that stripe were abundant in 1860. But
there is no cause for dependency The
American people have spoken, and un-
der the wise, firm leadership of Grant
th' nati1n will steadily pursue the paths
o pro o-pelty, peace and progressive civ
ilAation -Four years more of Grant
and the world will do homage to mpe-
rial America, and monarchs anxiously
wait hor nod.
The election of Grant will be no parti-
SIN victory. 1t will be a triumph of the
people oyer the politicians of both the
Republican and Democratic parties. The
p'op.e recognize in Grant man of sound,
practical sense and honest motives, and
stick to him because he is Trustworthy.
1t is their will that he be our next Presi-
dent. The popular verdict is already re-
corded. The American nation will have
Grant, peace and prosperity for four years
more

Nor A RAILROAD FIGHR-The state
ments made in some quarters that the
subsidy question enters into the contest
for Congressman in this District, is a
humbug. The only reason assigned for
believing that Coghlan is subsidy man
is that he voted for the Goat Island bill.
Now, as our readers can see for them
selves, that bill WAS not gift, was not a
subsidy and conferred no exclusive priv
ileges upon the Central Pacific. Goat
Island was made terminus for all rail-
70 ID that might see fit to comply with
the terms of the act. Its effect was SIM
ply to enable the railroads on this coast
to run their ears to deep water and dis
charge and receive freight into and from
vessels at the Yharves, without unneces-
sary handling and expense. By this
means a saving would be effected of 81 a
ton on all the freight imported and ex-
ported to aud from this State. The Cen
they could handle more freight with less
expense. The State at large would be
benefited by the cost of shipment being
lessened. A few wharf-tenders, commits
sion-merehants, and dlaymen in San
Francisco would be the losers, and that
is MI there is Of it. And yet it comprises
the only argument advanced against
Coghian's re election. The very feeble
ness Of the assaults made upon him shows
the correctness of Mr.. Coghlan's position,
and is convincing evidence that he
ought to be re-eected
