NIAGARA.-Ovcr twenty years ago the
first Niagara suspension bridge was
built but recent critical examination
of the work has been made, and the caps
on the towers having been removed, the
cables were found to be perfect in every
respect. The masonary over the anchor
age of the cables was also removed for
about twelve feet, or below where the
wires are attached to the anchor chains.
A portion of the cable was imbedded in
the water lime cement, yet, after remov-
ing this substance and rubbing the paint
off the wires, they were found as bright
and perfect as when first placed there,
the cement having preserved the wires
and anchor chains.

Roasted coffee is one of the most pow
erful means, not only of rendering ami
NAL and vegetable etfluvia innocuous,
but of actually destroying them. A
room in which meat in an advanced de-
gree of decomposition had been kept for
some time, wus instantly deprived of all
smell by an open coffee rooster being
carried through it containing pound OF
coffee newly roasted. In another room
the effiuvia occasioned by the cleaning
out of a cess-pool, so that sulphurated
hydrogen and ammonia could be clearly
detected, was completely removed with
in half a minute on the employment of
three ounces of fresh coffee. The best
mode of using it as disinfectant is to
dry the raw bean, pound it in mortar,
and then roast the powder on a moder-
ately heated iron plate, until it assumes
n dark brown hue, when it is ready fol
use. 1t must, however, be remembered
that the coffee, to be effectual, should
be perfectly pure. Adulterated rubbish
will only make matters worse.

Farmers and Politics,

TurG Field and Farm says: Ac-
cording to the late census $4,000, OOO
people inhabit the United States. OF
these 12,5OO,OOO earn their bread by
some kind of labor. And of the twelve
and half millions of bread earners,
5,922,471 are engaged in agricultural
pursuits. In other words, nearly halt
OF all the people who work IL the great
national hive of industry are tillers of
the soil. And yet the farmers exert a
comparatively ANAL influence in legis-
lative affairs. This is not as it should
be. Those who add SO much to pro-
duction certainly should have strong
voice in framing rules for the govern
ment of the community. Some of our
laws bear oppressively ON he agricul-
turists. But the farmers are chiefly to
blame. They must organize and fix
upon some harmonious plan of action, il
they would make their influence prop
erly felt

REK.4 RkIBLE WEDDING.

A remarkable wedding recently took
place in Baltimore, Md. The bride
groom was Jesse W. Uppercu, whose
name has figured somewhat prominently
before the public during the past win
ter. Nearly year ago he was arrested
on suspicion of having caused the death
of his aunt by shooting her. Circum-
stantial evidence, it was said, pointed
him out distinctly as the murderer, and
the suspicious which We're at first enter
tanned regarding his guilt gradually be-
came strengthened into belief as the evil
dence brought out was almost entirely
of circumstantial character, and after
a trial of unprecedented length the case
was given to the jury, the prevailing
belief being that he would be found
guilty. The jury consulted together for
long time, but We're unable to agree
upon verdict, and were finally dis
charged. In February another trial was
had, lasting a still greater length of
time, and finally resulting in the prison
er's acqnittal. All during the two long
trials a young lady possessed of unusual
attractions and occupying high social
position in Baltimore was observed
Watching the proceedings day by day,
and when the prisoner was acquitted she
tainted away in the courtroom. A few
days since the lady became Mrs. Up
percu, and besides the relatives of the
bride and bridegroom at the wedding
ceremonies there were at present the
Judge who had presided at the court,
and the counsel both for the defense and
the prosecution. -PHtsbMgh COn,nCr

AN TNFORTINlTE STA TIE.


A LETTER from New Orleans to Gin
cinnati paper gives gloomy picture of
affairs in Louisiana. An association to
resist the payment of taxes has been or
ganized, including among its members
the property holdcrs, and the most
prominent and substantial citizens of
the Crescent City. OF the financial con-
dition this correspondent says {:
Louisiana, with less than a million
population, has to-day State debt of
100000, and the city of New Or
leans has a debt to-day of about $50,
100000. 1t seems incredible, and will
startle you who in OHIO, with popula-
ton of over three millions, owe less than
$9,000,000 This enormous debt of
the State and city has all been
created in the past SIX years. .
The trade and commerce of the
city has greatly fallen off within tn elast
few years. Business is paralyzed with
the constant disturbance and irritation
The failures during the last three
months amount to over 81, 900, 900. The
rate of taxation is five per cent. on the
full value, and all the real estate i'll the
city is for sale, with no buyers at any
price

Extensive DOvyn-East Farmer.

New England has, at least, one large
farmer. Frye Tillotson, of Oxford, n
H., has 1900 acres lying in the valley
of the Connecticut river. He keeps 210
COWS, and has made LOO cheeses the
past summer, averaging As pounds each.
He has this fall fattened and sold 4S old
hogs and 40 shotes. The old hogs aver
aged $50 pounds dressed, and the shotes
$50 pounds. He had sixty acres of corn
the past season, and fed to the hogs
1000 bushels. He cuts about 800 tons
of hay annually, makinga saving, as he
believes, of one-third by this process
His COWS are mostly natives. He has
cut S, 200 cords of wood and sold it to
the Passumpsic Railroad Company
during the past year. He has steam
saw-mill, in which he sawed over l, OOO,-
600 feet of lumber, all from logs out of
his own land And with all this care on
his mind he laughs and grows fat. His
cheese factory cost $500, and it takes
only two men to run it. He employs in
all ~ hands.

EATING LEA TIER, IRON AND FELT.
SOME curious Psychologist has been
writing to the PhrenologicM Journal
some curious investigations into the
field of diet. We summarize few of
his statements, giving them as near rs

When we pour milk into a cup of tea
or coffee, the albumen of the milk and
the tannin of the tea instantly unite and

which makes its leather rs distinguished
from the original skin. In the course
of II year tea drinker of average

A great many things go into the

We have seen it somewhere. But it is
an alarming fact. We drink, every one
of us, q pair of boots year. We carry
iron enough in orr blood, constantly to
make horseshoe. We have clay

peck of dirt month-no, that is too
large an estimate. The man who care
lcssly tips glass of lager into his

case. The malt of the beer assimilates

LARGE number of eminent physi-
clans, chemists and others, belonging to
various countries of Europe, have
formed themselves into a union for the
purpose of constructing general Euro
pean Pharmacopeia. DIR. Thudichum
has recently delivered an address on the
subject, in which he showed that, dur
ing the last 200 years, many men had
tried to realize the idea of general
pharmacop@ia but as these attempts
were mostly made by single individuals,
each of whom endeavored to carry out
his own idea in his own way, failure was
necessarily the result. 1t is thought
that the present cooperative movement
will be more successful.

COMMODORE VANDERBILT seems to be
waking up to an appreciation of the lux
ury of doing good. His liberal pro-
vision of the "Church of the Strangers
was fitting thing for man to do, whose
steamboats, and railroads have brought
so many strangers to New York. Then
we heard of the gift of half million to
the Methodist Episcopal College at
Nashville and the papers now state that
the sum of 100000 has just been appro-
priated by Commodore Vanderbilt to-
ward the erection of large seminary for
girls on the grounds of the Moravian
Church at New York, on Staten Island
1t is "more blessed to give than to re-
ceive." Mr.. Vanderbilt has tested the
blessedness of receiving pretty thorough
ly; we hope he he will find giving so
much more blessed that he will keep on
as long as he lives, and may he live
many years to do good to others.

MANAGEMENT or CHILDREN.

Even setting aside the unkindness of
the thing, it is bad policy to be rude to
children. They are initiative, and act
toward their playmates as their guar
dams act toward them. Probably most
parents, even very kindly ones, would be
a little startled at the assertion that q
child ought never to be reproved in the
presence of others. This is SO constant
an occurrence that nobody thinks of no
ticing it; nobody thinks of considering
whether it be right and best or not. But
it is a great rudeness to child, and
ought never to be done. Modification
is a condition as unwholesome as it is
uncomfortable When the wound is in
dicted by the hand of a parent, it is all
the more certain to rankle and do HARM
Let child see that his mother is SO
anxious that he should have the appro-
baton and good will of her friends that
she will not call their attention to his
faults and that while she never, under
any circumstances, allows herself to for
get to tell him afterward alone, if he
has behaved improperly, she will spare
him the additional pain and mortitica-
ton of public reproof; and while that
child will lay these secret reproofs to
heart, he will still be happy.

The New York Xcruid holds without
dispute the position of the greatest
newspaper in the world. Editorially it
is not brilliant, but in the collection of
news matter it is almost always ahead.
Its last feat has been to send reporter
down into the ocean with the divers who
visited the Atlantic wreck. What the
Heraid accomplishes in the gathering Of
information is rendered possible by the
support given it by the advertising pub
lie. 1t is no unusual thing for the
Hcrald to print a quadruple sheet, eight
pages of which are filed with small
closely set advertisements, while the
cards of business men are also found on
the other pages. The West is fast tread
ing on the heels of New York in this re-
spect, and the Herald scarcely exceeds
the Chicago Tribune III the quantity of
its advertisements. Cincinnati, too, is
generous to its newspapers, and the
Commercial is to-day one of the most
profitable journals in the land. The
effect of really great newspapers upon
the city wherein they are published can
not be over estimated in the good that
they do.
