SEVEN WONDERS OF THE
WORLD.

AS many Of our readers use this
expression or have heard it, we
reproduce here an enumeration Of
the seven wonders, knowing that
they are new to many Of them.
The seven wonders Of the
world are among the tradition Of
childhood, and yet it is remark
able fact that 90 persons out Of
100 who might be asked the qucs-
tion could not name them. They
are the pyramids-thc mystery Of
the past-the enigma of the pres
ent-and the enduring for the
future ages of this world. The
temple, the walls and hanging
gardens Of Babylon, the most
celebrated city Of As>yr!a. and the
residence Of the king Of that coun-
try after the destruction Of Nine
veh. The Chryselpkantine statue
Of Jupiter Olympus, the most re-
nowned work Of Phidias, the H.
lustrios artist Of Greece. The
statue was formed Of gold, and
was sitting on q throne almost
touching the summit Of the tenn
pie. which was 70 feet high. The
temple Of Diana at Ephesus, which
was 220 years in building, and
which was 425 feet in length and
22O feet in breadth, and supported
by III marble columns Of the Ionic
ORDER 60 feet high. The Mausolcum
at HarIicarnassus, erected to the
memory Of Mausolus, the King Of
the Caria, by his wife Artemcsia,
B. G.. 353. The Pharos at Alex
andria, . lighthouse erected by
Ptolemy Softer ut the entrance of
the harbor Of Alexandria. 1t was
$50 feet high, and could be seen at
a distance OF 100 miles, and upon
which is Inscribed "king Ptolcmy.
to the gods. the saviors, for the
benefit Of sailors" Lastly, the
Colossus at Rhodes, a brazen
image Of Apollo, 104 Grecian feet
in height, and whirh was located
ut the entrance Of one Of the
ha-bors Of the city Of Rhodes.

Intelligent farmers know, or
should know. that il viii not do to
plow twelve inches deep where the
surface soil is only six. This may
be done in the course Of time, but
not at once. To make good, deep
soil, the progress downward should
be gradual Let a proper portion
of the subsoil be brought to thesur-
face and exposed to the action of
the sun, rain, wind, and frost, then
add the manures necessary to render
il Sertile. By pursuing this plan
for successive years a fertile soil can
be nlade-one that will resist the
effects of severe drought and be fit
ted also for the successful culture of
all ordinary crops. By this means
the mineral constituents of the sub
soil become thoroughly intermingled
NlI4 bIC sOn Vi lIC SOA1dNEp WAASAf
in consequence of oft-repeated shall
low plowings, has been depleted OF
them. To make good soil by this
method, the plowing should be done
in the summer or fall, in order that
the newly turned up subsoil may be
subjected to the ameliorating inhu-
ences of the heat and showers of
summer, and the winters freezing
and thawing. But after all this is
done, it will be found that good
crops cannot be produced unless
there is liberal application of ma
nure. Plow deep and manure gen.
erously and you will have a good
soil and bountiful yield. 1t is a
bad policy to pillow deep when there
is only thin stratum of mold or
mellow soil, and to bury this mel
low portion far beneath the surface.

A Scene I'm Court.

Sr. LOUIS, September ga scene of
great excitement occurred late this after
noon in the Criminal Court which
threatened at one time to be tragical.
Joseph Fl. Fare, who attempted to kill
his wife on the street with hatchet the
4th of last June was on trial. Mrs.
Fare had been examined atgreat length,
and as she retired from the witness
stand and took her seat between her
father. and Joseph P. Calcord, one of
her counsel, her husband seized large
cut-glass ink-stand from the table, and
hurled it at her with great force. The
Marshal of the Court saw Fares move
ment in time to catch his arm, which
changed the direction of the ink-stand,
and instead of striking Mrs. Fare it
struck Mr.. Calcord on the forehead,
cutting cash about two inches long and
nearly knocking that gentleman sense
less. Fare was Immediately seized by
the Marshal and others, and after some
struggle, during which nearly all his
clothes were torn of, he was taken from
the court room and order was restored.

A beautiful and high-spirited
horse would never allow shoe to
be put on his feet taor' any person to
handle his feet. In an attempt to
shoe such horse recently he resist
ed all efforts, kicked aside every
thing but an anvil, and came nearly
killing himself against that, and f.
nally was brought back to his stable
unshod. This defect was just on the
eve of consigning him to the plow,
where he might work barefoot,
when an officer in our service,
lately returned from Mexico, took a
cord about the size of a common
BEDFORD, put it in the mouth of the
horse like bit, and tied it tightly
on the animals head passing his left
ear under the string, not painfully
tight, outright enough to keep the
ear down and the cord in place
This done he patted the horse gent.
ly on the side of the head, and COM
mahsled him to follow; and instant
ly the horse obeyed, perfectly sub
dued and as gentle and ohedient as
a well trained dog; suffering his feet
to be lifted with entire impunity,
acting in all respects like an old
! stager. The gentleman who thus
furnished this exceedingly simple
means Of subduing very danger
