FIGHTING THE RAILROADS.

The farmers in Illinois have begun
a counter movement against the rail
road companies in that State, which
may produce important results. The
Illinois Legislature passed law re-
strictine railroads from charging more
than three cents per mile for passen-
oers. and also limiting aud regulating
freight charges. This has been yirtu
aIly ignored by the railroad companies
and has resulted in 8 great many law
snits. the companies evidently hoping
TO wear out opposition by litigation.

BRITISH vs.. AMERICAN IRON.

A few days ago, two American iron
vessels and one of wood were in the
Delaware, below Philadelphia, where
the ice was quite heavy. One Of the
Americans led the way and went
through safely, as did all the Ameri-
cans, while British vessel, with plat
ing the same thickness "A that Of the
Americans, was much damaged. The
Nauticas Gazette says: "fhe Brit
isher had her starboard bow plate
stove, as by solid shot; and the port
bow plate was broken its entire len 9Th.
The Aessrs- Crsmp made the repairs,
putting on two Pennsylvania plates IN
place OF the broken ones, and be car
ried his broken Scotch plates back 10
Liverpool. Unsuccessful 9ff1rts were
made to secure these plates-one party
wanting them for exhibition, the others
wanting them to hide, perhaps TO bury
them deep in 'Davy Jones Locker
The refusal to sell these broken plates
is a fair illustration of English policy
TO conceal the failings OF their material
of iron ship building from the world"
About a week later another British
iron steamer was cut through by ice
in the Chesapeake She was sunk and,
had to be raised and to be tOwed back
to Baltimore Several iron plates
were @stove in and several more were
cracked. If these are specimens of
English manufacture, it isnot wonder
full that We are uDderbid in the con
struction of iron ships. Vessels ought
to be built to withstand the ice, and
our mechanics have the iron to giye
them this power. Our chip building
days are not far removed.

A LUDICROUs INCIDENT.

THIS got TO be such a nuisance thst
the proprietor was called in aud &C
tive measures taken to remedy the
trouble. Meal from the kitchen Was
produced and sprinkled over the

instances leaving their heels on the
floor, while others were prled up
with pokers, uttering little shrieks

"As Dull as u HOe.''

This is an old favorite comparison,
and it seems cruel to rob it of its poe
try. But a free use of the file or
grindstoneis is as rough on the compar-
ison as the keen hoe is on the weeds.
Certainly it is poor economy to save
the wear of the hoe, of necessity only
half killing the weeds and making
heavy toll of otherwise light work
A file even IN old one cleaned with
diluted scid, will answer every purpose
or a grindstene, If one has no file
Never mind if stone or gravel do dull
a sharp hoe carefully used will accom-
plish more than the noisy grubbing of
a dull one. 1t is pleasure to see the
hoe daily narrow up and the corners
gradually round of, tor honorable age
and constant service benefit the hoe
making the blade thinner and smaller.
Sharpen the hoe then-frst, to save
the hard labor second, to do neater
work; third, to keep it bright: final
ly, to have the pleasure of seeing it
grow old in service.

Bees. HaneE and Wnr,

In the census OF the State OF Iowa,
for the year 1854, We find reported ss,
73l swarms Of es,which gave 1852,
6s5 pounds of honey, and 4o.769
pounds of wax. The returns from
Massachusetts, for 1860 gave as the
honey product Of that State 5sA25
pounds, valued at %, ,223. Statistics
show that Austria, in 1857, produced
66,ooo.ooo pounds of wax, valued in
the aggregate at 100000. The
production, OF wax in Russia estimat-
ed at 5,l42, 900 per annum. The
amount of honey and wax reported in
the Department OF Agriculture in the
census returns for the year 1850 was
1883, 200 pounds; in 1860 it was
1885,, 1854 pounds of wax, and 25, ,O2s,-

A Common Illusion

There are few more grateful lllu-
sions, the London Daily Ne,os says,
than that which attributes the result
of too much eating and drinking to
excessive mental labor; and it is one
of those fctions the author of which
invariably comes to believe himself
We have among US hosts of hypochon-
driacs who are continuity calculating
the effect of a certain amount of work
on their system, and who base these
calculations on headaches, and fits OF
nervous prostrsuon, and symptoms of
lassitude that have no more to do with
intellectual exertion than they have to
do with the Gull Stream. They are
for the most part, the natural result Of
too many invitations to dinner, of in
cautious and Incorporate consumption
of food and drink at unreasonable
hours, and of a curtailment of sleep
occasioned by getting home early in
the morning.

Excellent WhitewasI,. 1,

The following is said to be the very
best Of the numerous recipes for
whitewashing: White chalk is the
best substitute for lime as wash. A
very fine and brilliant whitewash
preparation of chalk is called "Paris
White.' This we buy at the paint
store for three cents pound, retail.
For each sixteen pounds of Paris
White we procure half pound of the
white transparent glue, costing twenty.
five cents fifty cents pound). The
sixteen pounds of Paris White is about
as much as a person will use in day.
1t is prepared as follows: The glue
is covered with cold water at night,
and in the morning is carefully heated,
without scorching, until dissolved
The Paris White is stirred In with hot
water to give it the proper milky con-
sistency for applying to walls, and the
dissolved glue is then added and thor.
oughly mixed. 1t is then applied with
a brush like the common lime white
wash. Except on very dark and
smoking walls, single coat is suffi
cient. 1t is nearly equal in brilliancy
to "zinc white" far more expensive
article.

Coarse. WaoIed Sheen.

1t is said that wool from Leicester
sheep that have beeu in The United
States two years is generally harsher,
lsaner, and worth much less than it
would have been if the sheep had
staid in Canada or England. Now,
thisRill not always be -soI for the
grower. viii yet learn tha. these large
sheep need more TO eat than the small
merinu, and their food should have
some roots, mangel wurtEel and oil
cake. When sheep are fed on corn,
they are too hot and feEerish. and the
wool becomes harsh and brittle, while
q proper snpply OF roots and oil, cake
with other feed, #eala produce soft,
sound elastic wool.
