A Prophecy about the Steamer Atlantic

The Boston Times relates the follow
ing incident of the lost Atlantic: When
about mid-oceaD, curious incident
occurred. which if true, as related to
our reporter, is very unaccountable.
The steerage passengers say that at
about that point on the voyage two or
three of the passenger declared, as if
gifted with the spirit of prophecy, that
the ship and all on board would be lost.
They kept repeating the prediction,
packed their carpet-bags and went on
deck to watch for chance passing
vessels, saying that they were going to
leave her, as they were sure she was
doomed to destruction The captain
then INTERVIEWED, and locked them up
as mad men, and when the prediction
they had made in their supposed in
sanity received its fulfillment, they, it
is said, pershed in confinement.

A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman details his experience in the
treatment of this disease. The expe-
rience was brought about by putting a
flock of lambs into corntield, having
read in newspaper that such was a
fine thing for them. A day or two af-
ter ne found to his surprise that they
were puddled, evidently suffering I'M
der some sickness Having expert
mented upon one that died, he says:

filled with corn IN one condition and
another. In the first the corn was
whole, and swollen by reason of the
heat and moisture. Who would have

yet died of dysentery, as choose TO call
it, rather than scours. We obtained,
without delay, half gallon of castor

den IN an overlooking. Nature was
striving to relieve herself.
There are few points in this story
worth noting. First, a cornfeld is an
unsafe place to fit sheep or lambs for
taking premiums or for SIMPLE sup
port. Second, cathartic ofsome kind
is good to relieve any animal of dyson
terry caused by over-eating. Third,
dlllgent search should be made to dis
cover the cause of disorder before ad-
ministering remedies. SIENNA tea with
some ginger would have served as well
as the oil. Epson or Glauber salts are
not as well as either of the other first

An English Big Jubilee.

A Boston letter to the New York
World contains the following: GA
rumor which an English friend com
municated to me some weeks ago has
been sufficiently confirmed, by CONVEX
sation with friend of Mr.. p. S. Gill
more, to warrant the announcement
that the London season of 1874 will be
made memorable by a mammoth must
cal festival to be directed by the pro-
jector of our jubilee. Mr.. Gilmore has
organize at Washington national band
of sixty five pieces, the money difficult
ties III the case proving too great for
even his indefatigibility. Such an
organization would cost upward of
1925, coo year-for skillful performers
could not be obtained for less than
$50 or $40 a week-and Congressman
seemed to be about unanimous of the
opinion that such an expenditure would
be considered unwarrantable extrava-
gance. And when an entire session is
occupied III appointing and hearing in
vestlgating committees, perhaps the
country had better invest in the sack
cloth of modification rather than in
sack-butS of Jubilee. Finding this
scheme impracticable, Mr.. Gilmore
has concluded to remain here until fall,
when he will go to London, and III con-
| junction with prominent musical entire
preneurs begin preparations for the
festival The English public are far
better educated than our own in that
class OF music best adapted for per-
| formances by monster choruses, and
the success of the venture, if the pub
| lie enthusiasm is sufficiently aroused
(and those who know Mr. Gilmore have
very little doubt on this score), will be
far greater than that which has
attended the two great festivals
IN this country. Our English
cousins move slowly until they
get little excited, but when once the
insular inertness is shaken off their
vigor and enthusiasm is in direct pro
portion to their normal sluggishness
The last jubilee served to pique their
curiosity and stimulate their desire to
attempt similar festival among them
selves; the English visitors and mu-
sicians at our coliseum all expressed
great delight at the results of Mr.. Gill
more's undertaking, and his presence in
England on a mission of this sort can
hardly fail to quicken the public to
that degree of interest necessary to
! make the mission a successful one.
The project is not yet sufficiently fal
advanced to determine whether any
American talent will be employed, but
the probabilities are that beyond two
or three soloists the participants in the
festival will be selected from English
cities and from the continent"

MILK PANS should be first washed in
cold water, then in warm soap suds, to
take off all particles of grease, and
then scalded IN very hot water, and
dried well IL the sun or by the FIRE,
WHEN commencing to feed grain TO
sheep, too much care can not be taken
not to give too much at first; begin
lightly and increase gradually until the
maximum feed is reached.
The ordinary mode Of churning but

Usually dog s skin-tie it on donkey,

4 WRITER in the Gardeners Chronicle
says people should not put raw manure
into frames without pouring boiling
water over 1T when the bed is made, for
the purpose of killing wood lice, which
breed wonderfully fast in the heating

The Journal of Horticulture says
that French farmer has discovered
that the use of tan is an efficient
preventive against the potato disease.
For two years he has introduced small
quantity of the residue of the bark
used in tanning into each hole on
planting his potato crop, and each
time he has been completely successful
in preserving his fields free from the
annoying disease.

The association recently formed by
the Connecticut dairy men of the
Housatonic valley has a capital Of
$1,000 already subscribed. The plans
of the company are to buy depot for
storing their milk, employing men to
deliver it, buy all milk cans now owned
by the farmers, and give the producer
as much, If not more, than he now
receives for his milk, the remaining
half to go to the stockholders, who,
after paying expenses, are to declare a
dividend III the same manner as other
corporations.

ness Matters.

Q. Is the country, nyour Judgment,
in sound conditions
A. I think it is.
Q. Do you fear panic if money con.
tinues tight, as at present?
A. / do, most certainly.
@. Are the merchants of the counfrv.
as class, much extended?
A. Not to very dangerous extent, /
think
@. Do you regard the banks as sound
and beyond the reach of danger2
A. l do, most certainly. I appre-
bend DO special danger from that quar-
ter.
@. Are the railroads Of the country.
in which hundreds of millions are in.
vested, doing prosperous business?
A. / think they are, as a whole.
doing an excellent business.
Q. Do you believe the business men
Of New York (the merchants) are now,
as whole, making money?
A. l do not; am very clear that thew
are not. They have not. as a class,
been making anything since the tight
money market and contraction com.
menced last fall.
@. What are the prospects in regard
to the summer and fall trade?
A. They are not at all promising at
present; but on an easier money mar
ket things might at once look better.
Q. Are many failures occurring in
the country
A. Considerably many in the aggre-
gate.
Q. Do you think our national banks
should be required to keep a reserve
of 25 per cent. to secure their circula-
ton?
A. do not. Their circulation is
amply secure without the reserve.
Their bill-holders cannot suffer.
q. What are your views in regard to
the matter of free banking, so-called
A. 1 fully believe in free banking.
1t is the true principle, and we must
come to it.
Q. Mr.. Clafin, will you tell me why
we cannot In some way properly con
troll tie finances of the country and
keep them more steady, as they do in
England
A. Well, it would be very easy to do
this if we had the disposition. Just
look at it. The whole business world
is startled when the Bank of England
advances its rate of interest one half per
cent. per annum, or from 30 A.. And
yet the rates for money IN this country
may advance from 7 per cent. to 800
per cent. per annum, and nobody
moves hair, and nothing is done by
the Government. This is very discour-
aging to business men. These specu-
lators and usurers, who lock up mil
lions of currency, paralyZing and jeo-
pardizlng every business interest in
the country and the Government
itself, should be taught that
they cannot play that game
with safety. The Government has
the power to do this, and it should
promptly exercise it, in nay opinion, in
every emergency. We cannot expect
stability and pros erity SO long as our
affairs are managed as they have been
since last fall, when the Government at
just the wrong moment commenced
to call in currency. It did not need
the money, the call was most untimely
and unwise, and the internal and other
revenues of the Government have been
millions less in consequence. From
that day to the present the merchants
of New York, as a whole, have made no
money, and they will not until differ
ent policy is pursued.
Mr.. Claflin's views we believe as
perfectly sound, and we also believe
they Will be endorsed by nine-tenths of
the business men Of the nation. hide

Your veil is thick and none would know

But if you foot it through the snow,

The tell-tale snow, a sparkling mold,
Says where they go and whence they came
Lightly they touch it's carpet cold
And, where they touch, they sign your name,
Who runs may read! On twinkling feet
You trip where all may soon detect You:
And where, still rosy-cold, YOU meet

How TO Water Horses.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune discourses senslbly on this
topic as follows:
Never water Immediately before or
after feeding. | say that if horse is
thirsty always give him drink, and he
will thank you for 1t. | have often
seen horses put in the stable at noon
for an hour or two, and not eat pound
of hay or grain, but looking wistful
for water, and then their careful owner
who would not let them have water,
when warm, will come to give them
enough to kill, and ride or drive the
remainder of the day on two buckets
OF water and no feed. Ten chances to
one his horse gives out with him or
gets sick before night. Now, | say,
give the horse water if lie is ever so
warm; give him swallow. rinse out
his mouth and nostrils, give him bit
of hay, in a short time little more
water, but not too much.
If he is watered several times, a lit
tie at time, until he is satisfied, he
will not drink more than half what he
would If you let him gulp it down all
at once.

Lime and Salt Mixture.

Prof. johnson recommends for fer
tlllzing purposes to mix one bushel of
salt and two bushels of dry lime under
cover, and allow the mixture to de
compose gradually, thus forming an
intimate chemical union of the two
materials. For this purpose the mix
ture should be made at least six weeks
before use, or still better, two or three
months. the heap mentioned being
turned over occasionally. This salt
and lime mixture, when applied at the
rate of twenty or thirty bushels per
acre, forms an excellent top dressing
for many crops. 1t acts powerfully on
