How to Leave tho Wheat Field.

There Is a difference of opinion AMONG
good farmers AS to whether the wbea5
field should be rolled before or after drill

and beneficial an operation us narrowing

and smoothes the surface Those who
favor rolling after sowing contend that by
thus smoothing the surface the water
pssses Oft fiat land more rapidly in the
winter and spring, and that ice will not
form over the wheat to smother it. This
is undoubtedly true on Hat land, but where
it is rolling the drill ridges serve as a
great protection to the wheat, and the wa

so as to the time of rolling the wheat

great enemy to the wheat crop. If the
soil holds 1t drainage is needed before the
crop can be made certain. Underdrainage
is best, but in the absence of this a great
deal can be accomplished by udicious
surface drainage. Surface bitches are
barriers to the reaping machine, which no
good farmer likes to have in his field, but
IN many cases they must be endured.
However, the drain may be made of such
easy slope by blowing out two or three

Quicksilver for Ralsing Dead Bodies.

aterhano Eanducci, an Italian gar
dener, was drowned while bathing in
Lake MERGED last Sunday. says the San
Francisco Chronicle. His body was
not found until Wednesday, the two
men who searched for the corpse hay
ing failed to discover it by the ordinary
means. Having heard that loaf of
fresh bread, into which the quicksilver
had been inserted, would drift about
on the surface of the water, and finally
sink over the dead body of the drown
ed, they procured large, fresh loaf
and placed in it four ounces OF quick
silver. The loaf was thrown on the
waters of Lake MERGED. The bread
Immediately moved against the wind,
which was blowing strong, and kept
on till it reached certain point. The
loaf then stopped and suddenly sank,
and came to the surface again, and with
it the dead body. The men who narrate
this remarkable story are Vincino Mort
no and Francisco de Luca. They are
we'll known to our Italian population.
Their story is substantiated by others.

William Sciinuler.


William Sehouler, lately deceased at
his residence near Boston, was, many
years ago, the editor of the Journal, and
finally of the Atlas, in that city, and in
1857 became editor of the Cincinnati
Gazette. Subsequently he edited the
Columbus (Ohio) Journal for a few
months, ard then returned to his old
home. He was Adiutant General of
Massachusetts, during the War Admin
istration of Governor Andrews, and at
the time of his death was an Electoral
candidate on the Greeley ticket. His
later years of ease and retrospection
have been worthily employed in writ
ing sketches of the public men and
measures in the political period pre-
ceding the war.

Political Crimes,

The following paragraph of Mr.. Froude's
lecture, coming from one who is as well
acquainted with history and the lesson it
teaches as any other man, is worthy to be
pondered by all whom it may concern ::
In my reading of history one tremendous
phenomenon forever forces itself upon me,
that every political crime is a debt regis
tered in Heaven; and the payment to the
last farthlng, with interest and compound
interest, is demanded Of those who, when
the bill is signed, represent the person of
the criminal. 1t was not those who com
mitted the crime that suffered generally
tor it, but the suffering falls upon those
who are innocent, and this has been from
the beginning of time one of the mysteries
of the proyidential government of the
world. We cannot precisely understand
it, but there is one lesson we draw out of
IT, there is one point IN which 1t addresses
the noblest part of the nature of man, there
is many a hot-spirited man who Will do
wrong if he thinks the risk is on him and
only he will be held answerable but he

Almost as Bad as Murder.

On Sunday a young girl named
Mile Riddle was approaching the rail
road track of the Allegheny Valley
railroad, near Brady's Bend, Pa, car
rying a bucket OF water in each hand.
The locomotive was coming down at
the time, when the girl stopped to let
it pass before crossing. A man stand

cross the track before the locomotive,
when instantly at the banter she start

the engine came laundering along,

IT is stated that members of the
Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, have in
contemplation the erection Of a mag

large enough to accommodate every
seaman in port. 1t is proposed to
raise $3.50, 900 among the members for
this purpose. The first proposal, to
erect a church near Prospect Park, to
be called the Beecher memorial, was
emphatically declined by Beecher.

There is absol ltely no Language that is

Mr.. Caleb Cushing, but Sir Roundell
Palmer is guiltless Of any knowledge of
it, and Mr.. Evarts is considerably less

confusion of tongues will prevent oral
arguments on the various questions that
will come up for consideration, and
necessitate the tedious process of having
all the argument reduced to writing
and then translated into French by the
interpreter.
