In regard TO the use of lime in connec-

old ship builder on the coast of Maine
published III the Mechanics Magazine, is
OF interest. He had been In The habit OF

The exact way in which gypsum pro

chemical changes or transformations which
occur when il is brought in contact with
soils are not ct uniform or fixed charac-
Ger. Upon the conditions which exist, rs
regards the presence of vegetable matter
and moisture, depend the changes that take
nlacu
We have proved Ivy actual experiment
yhst gypsum is capable of absorbing am
monla from the air and also from decom-
posing vegetable matter, being thereby
changed into hydrosulphidc of ammonium,
and this again NAV be changed into car
donate OF ammonia by absorption of car.
bonlc acid from the air. These changes
take place when gypsum is brought in con
tact with moisture and vegetable matter.
Whatever other dccompositiuns may take
place under different circumstances, this

From these asCCTtainCd facts we should
infer that plaster must prove highly ser
yiCahle Ia moist, messy hills and alSo to
meadows not to wet, and this has proved
correct SO far rs our observations extend
Often We have found that the north side of
hill will be greatly benefited by plaster,
while upon the southern exposure it has no
pcrccptbc effect. This is due To the fact
that the northern slope is cooler, or oftencr
in shade, and has moisture, and larger
amount Of partially dccaycd vegetation, To
aid III the promotion of these chemical
changes to which we have alluded

would be uuWiSo 10 SOW it upon a meadow
which IS covered by water six months in

1t must also be observed that the season
has mach To do with the effects of plaster.
During the past three or four seasons Of eX-
IRENE drouth, its application has notary
tailed upon almost all fields, but as soon A.
we have continued moisture through the

Mixed WatrimOny Amen. the Jews.

DIR Wise, of Cincinnati, on Thurs
day, officiated i'll New York, at the
marriage of German Jewish widow
and her deceased husbands brother.
| Such n wedding the Jewish law regards
rs incestuous, and orthodox synod, as
| we'll as radical Jewish reformers, have
so pronounced it. The Jewish Times,
III its latest number, denounced the
proposed union IN the strongest terms,
asserting that the bridegroom had been
repulsed by the New York rabbis whose
cooperation he had begged called
DR. Wise's action the prostitution of
his sacred Office, and urged that the
fruits OF the nuptials would be illegiti-
mate. These comments aroused indig-
nation IN Jewish circles, and alarmed
those directly interested. At the cere-
niony on Thursday, all display was
therefore wanting. Only near relatives
attended.
The Jewish Times gives the story of
a similar marriage that was solemnized
III this city a few weeks ago, but it was
under different circumstances. Rev.
DIR. Hurhesh, the rabbi of the Bohe-
mlan synagogue i'll Avenue G, an infiu
entail conservative oiliciated. He no.
tIced that tie names of bride and bride
groom We're identical, and inquired
what relationship there was between
the bridegroom and the brides first
husband. The bridegroom, looking cool
", replied that they We're cousins. The
case was aggravated by the fact that
there was child by the first marriage
living. The real circumstances subse-
quently came to DR.. Hurbesh's knowl-
edge, and they sought the bridegroom
and told him that his marriage was
void that no rabbi could give 1t vail
dlty; that only solemni2ed by a pro-
per civil officer could make it ever le-
gal. The man replied that he had
acted as he had done under the advice
of an orthodox rabbi, who was himself
afraid to otficiate, but he had subse-
quehtly welded a second time in a
court of law.

The Negotiations with Germany.

TIE negotiations looking to the final
payment of the German indemnity and
the evacuation of the French territory
by the German troops are completed.
The first payment of the indemnity
still due Germany is to be made by the
18th of February, and to consist of one
milliard Of francs. The second pay
mcnt, Il similar amount, is to be made
before the close of 1878; and the third
payment, also milliard of francs,
during the year 1874. The departments
of Marine and Haute Marine are to be
evacuated as soon as three hundred
millions of the indemnity have been
RENTED, and the present force of the
army of occupation viii be reduced by
one third after the payment of each
mllliard to Germany. The French
Government is already negotiating for
bills of exchange to the amount of
500 600, 900.

Astronomers at Variance.

Recent observers having been unable
to find more than four of the satellites
of Uranus, many astronomers have dis
cardcd SIR William Hershel's observa-
tons upon the other four. But Mr.
Proctor defends Hershel's claims, be
cause it has never happened that while
he expressed certainty about a matter
of observation, he has been shown to
be in error. Herschei distinctly stated
that he had not kept back the announce
ment of satellites on account of any
doubts, but because he hoped to de-
termine the clements of the orbits.

was found concealed a sum of not less
than 1880 The man, who was
