SWindIing the Farmers,

Every spring brings forth a host OF
advertisements to catch the eye of the
farmer. They are very skilfully
wordcd and set forth enormous profits
Such an advertisement or circular
received the other day from some
Western man (namo forgnttrn), who
claimed to have a very prolific field
corn, threo stalks would average
eleven sound cars. An acre would
yield two hundred and Nfty
bushels of good corn, he does not say
two hundred and fifty bushels of
shellcd corn. Sanford advertised his
little dusky white corn in tho same
way. A number of farmers in this
neighborhood purchased it, ard it
proved 10 he a miserable failure yet
Sanford found purchasers Mt seven
dollars per bushcl. The Norway oats
was another swindlc, for which farm.
ers paid an extravagant price. II
was nothing moro than tho black
Poland or Feather oats. And now
we are to have Late Rose potato,
for which we are asked to pay a large
price, and it may prove to be nothing
more than the Garnett Chilli, which is
worry similar to tho Early R,se in
shape and color. Farmers should be
careful to purchase only from honest
seedsmen, and give swind'crs and

Ingenious Device 10 Register Railroad
Fares.

Mr.. Jas. II. Small, of Buffalo, is
said to have perfected machine
with which cheating, is impossible.
1t is ouly n conductors punch, but so
ingeniously constructed that it is en-
tirely unnecessary for tho conductor
to make his report Mt the end of his
trip, the punch making the re.
port for him. This ingenious lit
tic machine weighs about six
ounces, is made Of brass, nickle,
plated, and il not much larger than
the common punch used by conduc
tors. We can more readily describe
it by explaining tho manner of its
uso
Tho conductor is furnished with a
trip card, upon which there is a
double row of numbers, each number
representing the amount Of ono fare
If Eve ccuts is the faro upon our city
railway, the numbers range us rollows:
5, 10, 10, 20, and 80 on. When tho
conductor receives his first fare the
punches out 5 as he does so n small
gong, loud cuough 70 bc heard in any
part Of the car, strikes in tho punch
announcing to all within hearing that
one fare has been collected. At tho
same momcnt the hands on dial ar
ranged like the face of n watch arc
moved forward, and register one faro,
while the fragment Of the card with
the S upon it drops in a receptacle
below, and there remains until the
end Of the trip, being the third silent
but positive witness to the conduc-
tors integrity. When the officers of
the road hand the punch over to the
conductor they register tho number
indicated by the dial, lock tho opeu-
ings securely, and the machine is so
arranged that the least attempt to
tampor With the lock can be instantly
detected
This little machine is destined to
work revolution in railroad circles.
The cheat, when he receives the faro,
will fail to punch tho card, aud that
failure will be noticed ut nncc by the
passengers, who will naturally be lis
tcning for the sound If the gong.
Not only can this punch be used to
advantage upon the street rnllw ays,
but upon steam roads, steam and
other fcrryboats, thca,crs, and in
fact in every place f public amusc-
mCnt.

A Daring kCt,

Ono Of tho most daring acts, says
the Columbia Union, We havo heard
of for many day was performed last
evening by Mr.. DoSaueaure Bacot,
who is stopping with with his friend
Major Morgan, at tho residence of
Judge Melton. Tho circumstances
are as follows: The chimney Of
Judge Mclton's dwelling house caught
fire and was burning out when the
aparks falling thick upon the dry roof
igpited the shingles. just at this
tint .hc Judge happened to 20 out,
and discovering the perilous condition
of bis house, was looking round for O
ladder to 20 up und extinguish the
flames, when Mr.. Baoot, who in years
gone by, was On officer in the Navy,
saw the situation, and going to tho
lightning rod, won't up like a flash,
hand over hand. The house is three
stories, and as no neared the roof tho
slight fastening by which the rod was
held began to give way. A fall
f'om that height seemed inevitable
but as quick Oh lightning. he caught
hold of the roof, and the balustrads
throwing himself on the roof, and soon
extinguishcd the fire, lacerating his
hands somewhat in doing 80. This
daring sct uDquestionably saved the
home of Judge Melton from destruc-
ton.

Anarchy IN ArkanSaS.

While scenes Of lawlessuess suoh as
have disgraced Osceola can be enacted
III a Southern community, it is diff
cult to denouncs the countcnanoe of
military rule in the Southern States.
Without cntering into the merits Of
the dispute between the parties all
law.loving men will come to the con-
clusion that amid such clements of
violence and disorder civil law cannot
eni"rc respect unless supported by
military force. All ideas Of Justice
and respect for law seem to be mado
subsorvient in Arknnsar to personal
hate and political passion. Tho pic
ture of court Of Justice into which
the jurors aud clients como armed to
the teeth is certainly strange and
disgraccful Quo for this nineteenth
century. Appeal to forms Of law in
such society is simply farce. A
man must either be tried by friends
or enemies. The one would refuse
to convict him, no matter how clear
the proof of his crime whiio in the
other Case Innocence would afford but
weak protection againat the prciu-
dices of his judges. Under these cir
cumstsnccs 1T is not surprising that
the hostile factions. s.should prefer to
settle their disputes with tho rife.
How far n civilized nation can permit
its citizens to take the law into their
own hands and avenge in their own
way their real or supposed wrongs is
question of grave Importance. 1t
must be evident to the thoughtful, g,
however, that people caunot be al
lowed to have private battles and
levy war just as their caprice dictates.
and therefore such conflicts must in
cvitab'y lead to tho declaration Of
martial law. We cannot permit tho
Inauguration of war of races, and
black men and white men must learn
to live together without indulgiug in
the exciting amusement Of cutting
TN oats or taking long shots at each
other. If they will insist on continu.
ing these practices Uncle Sam will
be likely to send his boys down to
share the fun. This contingency Of
course will appear tyrannicnl, but then
our hot headed Southern fricuds must
sacrifice something to appearances,
and modern society, being somewhat
squeamish, objects to free fights as n
too highly seasoned pastime.-N. Y.

A Determined Murder.

A French jury has found one Co.
balion, q hairdresser, guilty, with OK
tenuatiDg circumstances, of numbering
q woman named Adele I.elong, with
whom he had lived for several years,
but who was not his wife. In 1867
he tried to kill her with carving
knife, and still later made an attempt
to choke her, Of which she ever after
bore unwilling testimony in the shape
Of discolored mark about hor neck.
But on the 18th of March in fit of
passion ho accomplished what he had
long threatened. Adele had como
fato IN the evening and was entering
the parlor behind tho barber's shop
which she and Cobalion had hired,
when he knocked her down with his
curling irons, and thon set.to to saw
her head from her body. The con-
oicrge, having heard her scream and
groap, burst into tue room where tho
murder was being perpetrated. On
seeing him Csbalion pushed him into
the vestibulc, and turned Of tho gas.
The girl Jelong, who was not yet
dead, roso from tho pool of blood in
which she was lying, and staggered
to the shop window. by tho light Of
tho street lamp Cobalion was seen
rushing after her. When he reached
her sho made n supreme effort to
ward off the thrusts of the carving
knife, with which he evidently wanted
to flush her. a curtain was torn
down, q plate glass window broken,
and piercing scream uttered. An
other out had been inflicted on the
neck, and before the mndman could
he stayed she was dead. At the trial
just concluded, Cobalion's toars and
tho advocates skilful allusion to the
Dnbourg case saved him from tho
guillotinc, but condemned him to
Cayenne.

FEHS RME Disease.

Flies are uncomfortable visitors IN
summer, especially in q sick room.
1t has been found that they are harm
full also, and may be agents in spread.
ing contagious diseases. A German
Professor in Vienna made an expert
ment to test the trnth Of this theory.
Finding the Mes very numerous on the
faces of bis smallpox patients, he put
some g'yeerine in saucer to en-
tAngle the flies. Many of them we're
caught by the glutinous matter, and
soon the glycerine was filled with
strange eeNs like those on the small
pox patients The Inference was iue~
vitabls that tho Bies communicated
tho infectious matter to the glyoerine,
and could carry coatagion to other
houscs. It will be T. new argum ent
to keep oil sick rooms free from these
insects.
