Travelling Stones.

Many of our readers have doubtless
heard of the famous travelling stone Of
Australia. Similar curiosities have re-
Gently been found in Nevada, which are
described as almost perfectly round, the
majority of them as large rs walnut,
and of an irony nature. When distrib-
uted about upon the floor, table, or other
level surface, within two or three feet Of
each other, they Immediately began trav-
cling toward common center, and there
huddlcd up in bunch like a lot of eggs
in a nest. A single stone, removed to
the distance of three and half feet, up
on being released, at once started of with
wonderful and somewhat comical celebrity
to join its fellows; taken away four or
five feet it remained motionless. They
are found in region that is compare
lively level, and is nothing but bare rock.
Scattered over this barren region are lit
tie basins, from foot to rod in dame
ter, and it is in the bottom Of these that
the rolling stones are found. They are
from the size of a pea to five or six inches
in diameter. The cause of these stones
rolling together is doubtless to be found
in the material Of which they are com
posed. Yh;sA-Pssasm S'to be loadstchre OF

Extraordinary Action.

Some two weeks since, at q regular
meeting of the City Council of Coving-
ton, the advertising of the city ordi-
nances was awarded to newspaper print
ed in Cincinnati. This under any cir
cumstances would have been unjust to the
home paper. But there are features Of
this action Of the Covington Council
which will cause it to be regarded as
something more than extraordinary. 1t
was made without the slightest public
notice, on an unlimited bid, and passed
without moments consideration. If
there had been even murmur of dissat-
isfaction as to the manner in which the
work was done by the CovINGToS JOUR-
NAL, we have never heard of it. In Or
der that the distant reader may better
estimate the action of the Covington
Council In this matter, it is proper to
add, that the JOURNAL at the time re-
ferred to was in accord politically with a
majority of the Council. Altogether, it
has the appearance of piece of jobbery,
not lottery, but involvinga per cent.
on the amount of the contract. II Coving-
ton JoTnoi.
The above action of the City Council
Of Covington, demonstrates to US very
clearly that Covington needs a Ner
Council.

Many q man Is rich without money.
Thousands Of men with nothing in their
pocket. are rich. A man born with a
sound constitution, good stomach, q
good heart, and good limbs, and pretty
good hcad-piece, l. rich. Good bones are
better than gold; tough muscles better
than silver, and nerves that flash FIRE and
carry energy 10 every function, are bet
ter than houses or land. II is better than
a landed estate to have the right kind Of
father and mother. Good breeds and had
breeds exist among men as really NJ
among herds and horses. Education may
do much to check evil tendencies or to
develop good ones; but IL is greater
thing TO inherit the right proportion Of
faculties 10 start with. A rich man is he
who has a good dispcsition-who is natu-
rally kind, patient, cheerful, hopeful and
who has flavor of wit and fun in his
composition. TIE hardest thing 10 get
on with in this life, is mans own self.
A plain fellow, timid and care-burdened
man-these are all born deformed on the

thoughts do.

The Local Press.

From the City and National Intelligencer.
1t is doubtful if the country press is
concious of the power it possess, and Of
supremacy, were it exercised. Local
journalism Is one. Of the features Of our
time. In the last twenty years there has
heenarapid decentralization of the thought
Of the country press. Not one or two
great newspapers of universal circulation
now dictate the opinion of the people and
the policy of political parties. The in
1ucnce they once exerted is split into a
thousond fragments, and welded as many
hands. United and comprehensive nc
ton on the part Of those who control the
rural journals would revolutionize the
country, and solve every problem, social
and political, that now disiracts the land.
weare glad TO note the rapid growth of
those editorial organizations which prom
ise % WELD the future of the people.
Thsir organized Influence will carry every
thing before it.

In the late address before the Farmers
Club Of Princeton, Mass, DIR. Matthew
Allen said that according to the registra
ton report of deaths in Massachusetts,
published now for about thirty years
and preserved with more accuracy and
completeness than anywhere else in
the country, the longest age is found to
obtain in agricultural life. In the ten
different occupations as given in these
reports the cultivators are as q class
at the head, reaching on an average the
age nearly sixty-ave, while that Of the
next class (merchants) Is only forty-nine;
that of mechanics of all kinds about
forty-eight, ard that ofshoemakersabout
forty-four years. Thus here is an advan-
tage of about fifteen years on the side OF
the farmers as compared with the mer'
chants, and they reach an average age
but little short Of three score years and
ten, allotted by the Psalmist for human
l;fn

Agricultural Department.


Docs not our good friend the editor of
the GarietS Moirihly, see the great mis-
take he has made, in his criticism Of the
statement Of cur correspondent, on the
size Of trees in cultivated ground and in
grassl Size, unless otherwise expressed,
means bltlk, and instead of giving lineal
he should more properly have adopted
cubic measure. One tree may be twice the
diameter of another, or twice as tall, but
in these instances tits distinctly expressed.
The growth of tree-.its increase from
the nutriment collected and assinilated in
its structure-combines the three attrib-
utes of length, breadth and thickness
all ofwhich, it seems to US, are distinctly
included in comparison of size, unless
the word limited by the plain statement
that one object is so much longer, broader
or thicker, not SO much larger, than an
other.
BY Mr.. Nieehan's reasoning and ar
rithmetic, if he purchased quantity of
seed Just filling a box 2 inches square
and high, and subsequently orders "1S
times as much," he will expect the new
box to be 36 inches square and high. The
seller family objects that such a box
holds 1882 times as much as the other,
instead of 10 times 80, no." rejoins Mr.
NJ, with mingled surprise and scorn; zone
box can not be Is times as large as anoth-
err, unless it is Is times its circumference
and Is times its height. Do you send me
a box that measures only about 81
inches each way, and claim that it is IS
times as largeas the box that measured 2
each wayy Why, it isnot three times as
thick; it is not three times as high" We
fear the seedman, before accepting the
astonishing result" propounded by his
customer, would ask him to reconsider
the scope of his little calculation.
