Wooden Drains.

The following is from the German
town Telegraph
Strange as 1T may seem, after all our
experimenting with wood and the tile
dl aiming material, we are likely to
come back again TO wooden drains of
some sort under peculiar circumstan-
ces. They are pronounced to be on
good authority superior to, as they are
far cheaper than tile drains, where the
wood is subjected to the vapor of car
bolle acid. But even without this pre-
paratlon, wooden water pipes, made in
the best manner, will last two or three
generations under ground. But as it
regards the so-called Robins process, it
IS not applied to logs, but boards, so
that the logs of any perishable woods
sawed into boards, and the boards sub
Jected to carbohc acid formed into
square conductors and used as drains
upon farms, viii last, it is claimed,
forever, at cost of not over fourth
or a fifth of that for tile, heavy article
and expensive to farmers living at a
distance from mandatory. Should
th1s process turn out to be all that is
claimed for it, the farmers of the coun
try will find it a means=Of rejuvenatjng
their lands by draining, which, while It
will cost but little, Will nearly double
their productive capacity

One Baby Killed by Another.
From the Troy On. W Times.

A tragedy occurred in the family of
IL. z. Clark, compositor, on Sunday
afternoon, at his dwelling on Four
teenth street. Mrs. Clark was busily
engaged in attending to her domestic
affairs, and had called in Mary Russell,
a little girl, to take care of her little
boy, baby nine months old A three
year-old son of Mr. Clark was playing
with his brother and the little girl, and
was amusing himself by throwing small
blocks and other missiles from the cor
ner OF the room In which they were
playing to the other While he was
thus engaged he grasped small piece
OF slate, and without being precise in
his ann hurled it in playful glee. 1t
struck the baby, which the little girl
hao IN her arms, on the right side of
the head, and inflicted a deep cash.
At hrst 1t was not apprehended that
there was anything dangerous in the
wound, but DIR. Hutchinson. who was
Immediately thereafter called. said that
the skull had been fractured. and that
the child could not live. After passing
the night IN an unconscious state. The
little sufferer expired.

EVENING HEARTHsTONE.

Gladly now we gather round it,
For the toiing day is done,
And the gray and solemn twilight
Follows-down the golden sun.
Shadows lengthen on the pavement,
Stalk like giants through the gloom,
Wander past the husky pavement,
Creep around the frelit room.
Draw the curtain, close the shutters,
Place the slippers by the fire;
Though the rude winds loudly mutter,
What care we for wind-sprite's ire?
What care we for outward seeming?
Tickle fortunes frown or smile?
If around us love is beaming-
Love can human ills beguile!
Meath the cottage roof an palace,
From the peasant to the king,
All are quaffng from life's chafce
Bubbles that enchantment bring.
Crates are glowing, music flowing
From the lips we love the best;
Oh, the joy, the bliss of knowing
There are hearts whereon to rest
Hearts that tLrob with eager gladness-
Hearts that echo to our OWN
While grim care and haunting sadness
Mingle ne'er in look nor tone.
Care may tread the halls of daylight,
Sadness haunt the midnight hour,
But the weird and witching twilight
Brings the glowing hearthstone's dover.
Altar of our hottest feelings
Childhood's well-remembered shrine !;
Spirit-yearnings-so ul-revealings-
Wreaths immortal round thee Irvine

Barn Cisterns.

The New England Homestead has
the following In relation to the manner
of making brick cisterns-a great de-
sideraton1 where there is no supply of
spring water for barns:
< In ordinary clay soils a cistern may
be built without brick except for the
arch-by merely making the excavation
of the size and depth required and lay
ing the mortar Immediately on the clay
sides; if well done with good hydrao-
lie cement, and Clean, coarse sand, it
will be as permanent as If plastered up
on brick wall. Brick will be required
for the arch. To do this, about eigh
teen inches below the surface of the
ground, a shoulder should be made
the width of the brick on which the
arch is to rest. One thousand brick
will be sufficient for a cistern of the
capacity of one hundred gallons, con-
structed on this plan, and the whole
may be built at the cost of S25. On
many farms brick may be already on
hand and some farmers, perhaps, would
prefer to wall the entire cistern from
the bottom. To do this, wo-thirds, OF
perhaps three fourths more brick would
OC ICl unCu.
The most proper form. and the one
which gives the greatest strength to a
cistern is that of an ordinary Jug say
ten or twelve feet deep and six or eight
feet IN diameter at the bottom, increas-
ing IN the middle to nine or ten feet,
and from the middle upwards the size
should be contriYed to the base of the
arch to six feet or less. Such a cistern
will hold from one hundred to one hun
dred and fifty barrels, and would afford
a supply of water for twenty head of
cattle continually.
1t is Important to secure as freshly
burnt hydraulic cement as possible.
The coarsest sand makes the strongest
mortar This should be clean, that is,
free from any clayey or marty substance
Every good mason knows the proportion
IN which these should be mixed"

A Russian Tragedy.

A horrible story is told in a letter
from the District of Plotsk, Russia,
giving the particular of a murder COM
mitted last November A landed pro-
prietor of the district, while returning
to his home with 5000 roubles, which
he had borrowed Of n neighbor, in his
possession, was overtaken in forest by
a masked man, who demanded his life
or his money. The money was given
up, and the man returned to his credit
ors house to relate the misadventure,
and was induced to spend the night
there. On the next morning the host
entered his sons room, and to his con-
sternation saw, half hidden beneath the
pillow of the sleeper, aloaded revolver
and the stolen package of 5,000roubles.
In a transport of fury and shame, the
unfortunate father seized the revolver
and killed his son.

AGRICULTURAL.
Copperns and Salt rs Preventive OF
Pear Blight.
An exchange says

Pear Blight.
An exchange says .......-..
Many years since we used copperas
water applied to the soil, as remedy
for leaf blight in the pear, and the use
of iron filings, scraps ETC., has been
occasionally reported as preventive.
In other words, pear trees standing
near blacksmith shop, around which
all the refuse filings, ETC., of the shop
were thrown, have been reported
healthy, when trees not so supplied,
but in equal or better coil, Just adjoin-
ing, have blighted and died. The use
of hot copperas water as wash to pre-
vent the blight has been advised, but
while it has acted benefcially when
taken in the very first stages of the dis
ease, it has not been generally accred-
tied as o f specific value. The why is
believed to be, because the blight is
caused from some unhealthy condition
of tree, and like the human system sub
jectiye whatever disease may exist in
the same.
A study of the organism of tee plant,
its ingredients to form health and Wig
or, has therefore been as much point
with the intelligent horticulturist, as
has the human system to the professor
of medicine and careful observation
makes it apparent that copperas or
sulphate of iron, as well as common
salt, are necessary to health in the pear
tree. With this knowledge in view,
therefore, it becomes the pear tree
grower to apply to his soil solution of
copperas and salt, in preference to a
free use of animal manure, in which are
only small percentage of the great
properties of the two ingredients of
food requisite to health in the tree.
AS to quantity and time Of applica-
ton it is our impression that to each
pear tree of ten years growth one
fourth pound of copperas and two
pounds of salt dissolved in two gallons
of water and sprinkled over the ground
within the area of the branches is about
the quantity that should be used, and
that any the time previous to March is
the time to make the application.

AIDS Washington special says General
Butler is sure to offer a resolution to
repeal our maritime reciprocity laws
and the enactment of discriminative
duties and tonnage tax If Great Britain
persists in her present position with
reference to the Alabama question.
SUMMERS OPINION.
Senator Sumner says any recession
now on the part of the United States
would be bartering American honor
and dignity.
OUR CLAIMS AGAINST ENGLAND.
The following is a statement of the
character and amount of the Alabama
claims presented to the Geneva Con-
ference by the United States
I. For the destruction of vessels
and property belonging to the gov
eminent Of the United States. 80. $25, 900
IL For the destruction of mer-
chant vessels, cargoes and prop
erty, sailing under the flag of the
United States Observation-Disclosures. 1890, 633
III. For other damages or in
juries to persons, growing out of
the destruction of each class of
These VESSELS --....----..
lin respect to this item the
=" case" says it is impossible at
present for the United States to
present detailed statement, but
the amount of the claim cannot be
less than hundreds of thousands
and possibly millions of dollars, on
account of hardy, helpless seamen
and their families. ....
". For national expenditures in
the pursuit of the cruisers. ..... 1850, Ats
V. For loss in the transfer of the
American commercial marine to the
British flag.
T III respect to this item the Unit
ed States ask the arbitrator to
estimate the amount which ought
to be paid to them, after we submit
statistics in respect to our tonnage
before and after the rebellion
VI. For enhanced payments of
insurance by citizens of the United
States, so far as now Known. 1,12o, 795
VII. For prolongation of civil
war the addition of large sum to
the cost thereof, and of the sup
preston of the rebellion
TAs to this item the United States
claim that after the battle of
Gettysburg offensive operations by
the insurgents were conducted only
at sea, through the Anglo-Confed-
crate cruisers, with the hope of in
volving this country in a war with
Great Britain, and that the latter
ought in equity to reimburse the
United States for the expenses
thereby entailed upon them.
VIII. Interest upon all the claims
up to the day when the award is
payable by the terms of the treaty,
which is twelve months after the
date of the award, at the usual rate
of interest in the City of New York.

viduais are held which is seven
per cent. per annum. The United
States claim that interest should be
computed from an average day, say
July l, 1868.
