The SCHOOL of CHEMICAL MASUBEs OR ELEaES-
TARY PRINCIPLES in the use of fertiiizng agents,
from the French of M George Vile, by A. A.
Fresquet, chemist and engineer. III n9J
This little treatise is an invaluable aid to
the intelligent agriculturalist. 1t teaches
him principles and facts in q simple way.
1t gives the constituents Of complete ma
nures for each staple crop, and thus enables
the planter to purchase the pure material
and compound them himself in due pro-
portion. The one fault of the book is that
the translator has adhered to the foreign
weights, measures and coin valuations,
which makes it awkward for the reader,
who will have to reduce everything to
the American standard. 1t will pay every
farmer who uses commercial manures many
times over to read this book. For sale by

The Woman's Journal thus states the
position Of Mr.. Greeley on the suffrage
question: Misrepresentation, ridcule, and
falsehood have been the weapons used to
prevent the success of woman suffrage, for
there are no arguments against it which
have not time and again been utterly re-
futed. Therefore, we consider 1t no small
matter for rejoicing that all Republican pa
pers are in duty bound, even though reluc-
tant, to treat the woman question with "re-
spectful consideration" We are told that
Mr.. Greeley has long advocated equal pay
for equal work, regardless of sex, a higher
education for women, and the like. We
have no doubt of this, most men do now
a-days, who are not conceted and tyranni-
cal dolts. Upon the question of woman
suffrage, however, his status is preeminent-
ly suitable for the majority of the party
with which he is now allied. Virtually he
addresses the people as follows:
| "My countrymen, let all the dear rebel.
| in, but slam the door in the faces of the
| women"
Dear brethren, Jefferson Davis, Vance & Co,
| I welcome you to the fullest political right,
again but Mrs. Livermore. Mother Byckerdyke
| Mrs. Janney and others, you cannot be adj
| Initted, for woman suffrage means free love-"
"True, my brothers, you have slain your thou
| sands, and you, my sisters, have saved you
thousands. but believe in tho sanctity of TIL
marriage relation"
"True, there was unlawful amalgamation a
the South; but, brothers, let us shake hand
across the bloody chasm." -.
You, my sisters, have always been virtuott
and exemplary wives and mothers, but yo
might cote yourselves into loose associations, an
cannot be trusted"
Can any one be surprised that intelligent
thinking women are so universally oppose
!. to the election of such a man? Not onl
might the blacks tremble at his success, bu
woman's cause would be retarded for years
therefore all ofits sincere advocates should ;
once unite against him, whatever may hay
been their former position.

The AMERICAN SYSTEM, a collection of speeches
on the tariff question and on internal improve
ments by the late Andrew Stewart, of Penn
sylvania.
This book covers the whole ground indi-
Gated in the little page, ably and exhaust
lively. Mr.. Stewart was for eighteen years
member of Congress, coming in and
going out with Thomas Benton. He was
working man, and rose to commanding
position by the aid of that admirable in
dustrial system which he has so eloquently
illustrated in this volume-a system which
tends to elevate, enrich and bless all classes.
He shows in this work how completely all
pursuits harmonic in true state of So
ciety. He proves that diversified industry
is not only the condition of material pros
perity, but also of high intelligence in peo-
pie. lie shows conclusively that of all
men the farmer is most deeply interested
in protecting and encouraging manufactures.
This collection of speeches should be in
every library in the country. Published by

RU.V.sVy.EI' BOI'S.

Not long ago three boys, aged from elev-
@ n to fourteen, had gotten their heads fill
ed with romantic notions of starting out in-
to the world TO seek some bold adventure
on the Plains. Having perused some of
the "Dime Novels which are filled with
sensational stories, they imagined that
each one was to- succeed Robinson Crusoe,
and become hero in the eyes of their as
soclate,, as they returned again to recount
their wonderful hair-breadth escapes a.
mong wild Indians and the bears and
wolves of the Rocky Mountains. Hav-
ing provided themselves with u fowling-
piece, ammunition, and a knapsack each,
and small sum of money, they stealthily
left their homes for the prares of Illinois.
They were not to accept of any hospitabe
entertainment, even to a lodging indoors,
in order to inure themselves to hardship
and fatigue.
Three or four days, during which their
anxious parents were securing the country
in search of the runaways, sutlced to cool
their ardor, and one night in the woods
came near frightening them TO death, as
the scrcech-uwl startled them with its un-
earthly cry. Then arose the sudden recol-
lection of mothers cupboard, while their
sandwiches had become stale, and no tea or
coffee or warm milk was at hand TO wash
them down. 1t is needless to add that n
council of war was held, and n retreat was
ordered which brought them home in short
order by the nearest train of cars, much to
the modification of the romantic youths,
whose seedlings from anxious fathers and
mothers were soon forgotten in the embra-
ces of sisters and brothers who gathered
round the adventurers to see il their hair
had not been lifted by the sayages, or their
bodies torn by wild beasts during their
very long absence from home and neglect
of lessons at school.
A similar case occurred at PHILADELPHIA
not long since, and now the papers are
printing a card calling for information in
regard to boy who left his fathers house
in Brooklyn in the same manner, induced
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1872-11-01

by the reading of sensational stories to
start out for himself and try life of adven-
ture on his own hook.
Is there no remedy for these things? Not
always. The story of Robinson Crusoe
has stimulated the love of adventure in
many boys mind, but there is nothing at
all of an unhappy nature in this, the great
est known Of any similar work for youth
the world has ever seen. But DeFoc has
been out Heroded by multitude of scrb-
bers who write fabulous accounts of such
men as "Buflalo Bill" "Beden, the White
Chief" &c. when, if the truth was writ
ten and printed of some of these heroes (?),
an American youth would blush for shame
at the miserable low life they have led, to
the modification and disgrace of parents
and relatives.
Parents too often give little or no over
sight to what their boys read. Naturally,
they are glad to know that their sons have
a taste for reading, and encourage this de-
sire, as it is laudable and far better than
seeking excitement in the streets and in
doubtful places of amusement. But moth
ng can excuse the frequent lack of free in
tercourse between father and sons, beyond
that of mere table talk, often had in the
hurry of busy engagements. Get the con-
fideuce of your boys, for if you do not
they will make contdents of others, and
often have most unhealthy advice from
persons whose business is to lead them
astray. A boys nature is generally confid-
ing, but some parents are afraid their digni-

Recent geological surveys of the new
territories Of the far West have revealed
the very important fact that the known
coal deposits of the Rocky Mountain re-
gion extend over an area of upward of 2j0,-
600 square miles, in strata varying from
five to thirty-tive feet in thickness.
A barber in Titusylle, Pa, while cut
ting the hair of a rural customer, ran his
shears against some hard substance, which
proved TO be milestone. The old farmer
said he chad missed that milestone ever
since hayng time last July, and had look ed
all over a ten acre lot for it, but now re-
membered tucking it up over his ear"
On the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
recently, John Walker, a fireman, exhibi-
ted extraordinary firmness. lie was caught
between the "loot- board" of the tender and
the hot wall Of the engine furnace, from
which position all efforts to rescue him
were unyailing. The poor fellow, suffer-
ing the most oxcruciating pain, begged his
companions to kill him but finally he be-
came calmer, and, taking from his pocket
small blank-book and pencil, wrote a
farewell message TO his wife.

The Manser rifle, which has been defn-
itely selected to supersede the needle gun
as the infantry arm of the German army,
is a most formidable weapon. 1t can be
fired twenty-six times a minute, uses CEN
trail fire metal cartridges, is lighter and
handler than the Chassepot, and as true in
shooting as the needle gun. Whether the
bayonet will be the ordinary triangular one
or the sword bayonet, is as yet undecided.
If we may believe the statements of
the New Orleans Picayune, good liquor
law would appear the most promising of
the many proposed panaceas for southern
difficulties, at least as regards Louisiana.
1t states that in four parishes of that state,
containing 5000 men, women and babies,
1000 barrels of whisky are yearly consum-
ed. Half million dollars is the annual
outlay of these communities for potables.
After enumerating several similar cases the
Picayune concludes with this astounding
statement; 1.-The gross sales of the cotton
and sugar crops of the state since the war,
usually do not amount to over $50, 900 900
yearly, The drinks of the people of the
state, and the liquor bills, amount to more
than $50 200, 600 yearly"
