Oysters.

A writer in the american artisan
communicates something new about
oysters. He says Most people know
that a dozen or two of raw oysters, more
or less, very seldom will produce a feel
ing of safety or oppression at the stom-
ach. There is a special reason for this,
not known commonly to the public, nor
indeed to physicians. It is that raw,
almost alive oysters, contain their own
gastric juice, ready, in fact, to digest
themselves. Recently, 1 have been try
ing experiments on the artificial diges-
ton of food, and, among other matters,
my attention was directed to oysters.
They were disposed of with singular
rapidity, and, carrying investigation still
further, I have been able, by actual ex-
pertinent, to demonstrate that oysters
direct from the shell, when submitted to
conditions analogous to that in which
they would be placed in the human
stomach, and without any addition, are
positively able to digest a great portion
of their own mass. While being cooked,
however, their gastric juice is destroyed
by the temperature, and they are then
only like any other light food, but if
boiled long, their albumen becomes
hard and dense, and less easy of diges-
ton. People with weak stomachs may
hence take comfort in the reflection that
there is one article of diet which they
may usually indulge in without fear OF
after trouble, namely, fresh raw oysters,
which, happily, are provided with an as
sistant to help them in their solution.

Honey Bees by Mail.

A strange question is now before the
P~ostofice Department awaiting q de-
cision from the Postmaster General. A
man in Massachusetts has invented a
cage composed of wood and wire net
ting to send honey-bees through the
mails. The trap is a block of wood
about six inches long and two inches
wide by IN inch deep /; in this three
large holes are bored nearly through,
and the under side is covered with a fine
wire netting. Seven bees, including a
queen-bee, are placed in each compart-
ment, and are introduced through a
hole in the side of the block, which is
plugged up by a piece of sponge soaked
in honey. The postmasters and clerks
object to these packages for the alleged
reason that the honey soaks through the
paper placed owe the holes and daubs
other mail matter in contact, and be-
sides, as one Postmaster complained,
I" the clerks in his Office did not get
through examining and studying the
continuance until the bees stung every
one of them, and, in showing them how
it was made and how to handle it with
out injury, the blasted things stung him,
too" Acting Assistant Postmaster
General Mari, several weeks since, de-
cided that these packages could not be
admitted to the mails upon the ground
that they injured other mailmatter but
Gen. B. F. Butler, as attorney for the
inventor, appealed the case to the Post
master General, and the latter is now
celebrating what disposition shall be
made of the matter.-&. Louis Globe.

Items Of Public Importance.

The Commissioner of Internal Reve-
III is making energetic preparationsfor
assuming, on the Goth inst, the duties
heretofore discharged by district asses
sors IN relation to assessing taxes on dis
titled spirits and tobacco, the banking
tax and the tax upon legacies and sue
cessions. 1t is already apparent that
the complete knowledge and control of
the brewing, distilling and tobacco man
ufacturing business obtained by the
COMMISSIONS through the Capitalization
of affairs in his Office will result in large
additions to the revenue derived from
these sources.
In answer to an inquiry from the Sur
veyor of Customs of a Western port of
entry, the Secretary of the Treasury
decides that the law and regulations al
low an agent or attorney to make an
entry of imported goods for an import
er and give bond for the production of
owners oath, only in case of the sick
ness or absence from the port of such
owner or consignee, and then only in
case due power of attorney is fled
therefor. This decision is of general
interest and Importance.
Next September we are to receive
from Great Britain the Alabama indem-
nifty. This period is rapidly approach
ing, and in view of the fact that the
whole amount is to be paid in gold, in
Washington, On a day named, the move
ment of so much coin is attracting at
tention as a circumstance very likely to
disturb the English market, which can
not be agitated without affecting our
own. 1t would be well for the managers
of our financial institutions to bear the
near approach of this payment in mind.
The Acknowledgements has just given
IN important opinion to the effect that
the law to abolish the ranking privilege
is not to be construed to prevent the
transmission of letters containing cur
rency for redemption. 1t is the wish of
the Secretary of the Treasury that rs
fast as fractional currency or legal ten
der becomes worn, it should be e1-
changed for new notes. The Govern
ment, on the payment of ordinary
postage, permits all such letters to be
registered free to and from Washington,
that no one may have any excuse for
repudiating money. An adverse deci-
sion would cut off this privilege, now
availed of to a large extent all over the
country.

Restored to Life by Lightning.

The.most curious instance of resusci-
tation recorded in our annals happened
last Thursday on Plytania street, near
Terpsichore. A child of 3 years old
died early in the morning, and was duly
laid out for interment a competent
physician certified to the decease, and
the friends of the family assembled to
solemnize the funeral. Late in the
afternoon the body having been coffined
and the funderal carriages waiting at
the door, a thunderstorm arose. It will
be remembered hat there were some
unusually violent reverberations during
the brief term of its prevalence. Stimuli
~taneously with n of the most deafen-
ing of these claps the child recovered its
animation and resumed all the functions
of existence. 1t is 10Y permanently re-
covered. There is no doubt of the facts
in this case.-New Orleans Times.

L SPIRITUAL SONG.
BY GEORGE


Weep I must-my heart runs over;
Would he once himself discover
Only nee from far away!
Holy sorrow !, still prevailing
Is the weeping, is the wailing:
Would l here were turned to clayl
Evermore / see him crying,
Ever praying, ever dying;
Will this heart intending beat ?
Will my eyes in death close never?
Weeping all into a river
We're & blessedness too sweet
Is there non with me lamenting?
Dies his name in echoes fainting?
Is the peopled world struck dead?
Shall from his eyes, all never
Drink love and life forever?
Is he now and always dead =?
Deadi What means it-sound of dolors ?
Tel me then, L pray, We scholars
What imports the symbol dim.
He is dumb, and all turn fro me;
No one on the earth can show me
Where my heart might look for him.
Earth no more while I am in it
Can provide L happy minute;
All is hut a dream of woe.
l, too, am with him departed:
Would I lay with him stil-hearted
In the region down below
Hear, oh, hear, his and my Father
Speedily my dead bones gather
Unto his-oh, o 1 pray!
Grass will soon his low mound cover
And the wind will wander over,
And the form will fade away.
If his love they but perceived,
Suddenly had all believed,
Letting all things else go by;
Lord of love him only owning,
All with me would fall b~emoaning,
And in bitter weeping die.

Austria-The Cause of the Financial
Panic.

A Vienna letter thus tells what the
mania for wild speculation has done In
the Austrian capital. Will Americans
heed the warming?
"Many old, respectable banking
houses have gone on the list of bank
rupts along with the crowd of mushroom
concerns which sprang up under the in
fuence of the mania for speculation that
has prevailed during the past year. In
the great crisis of 1859 the total loss oc-
casioned by the fall of stocks quoted on
the Bourse amounted to twenty-five mil
lion iorins. Already ithas exceeded ten
times that amount. The chief sufferers
are now speculative banks and numerous
building companies. Hundreds of bub-
BILE companies were organized, and their
stock was snatched up at prices absurdly
inconsistent with the prospects of the
profit they offered. Almost every day
saw ley banks organized with mythical
capital, whose stock was palmed off on
the credulous public by the influence OF
the names of a few barons and counts
upon the lists of directors, and by the
putting of subsidized newspapers. he
building companies outnumbered the
banks, and we're about as unworthy of
trust. They undertook everything, from
erecting monster hotels to putting up
soda water pavilions. Cotton and wooden
factories, iron works. breweries, mills,
etc., were built without any regard to
the demand that existed for their pro-
ducts, and the speculative fever iduced
people to buy stock not as an invest
ment, but in the hope that the next day
somebody would give a higher price for
it. Hundreds of costly buildings have
been erected in Vienna by these build
ing companies in a style Of elegance be-
fore unknown"

Our AVERAGE EARNINGs.-I appears
from the last census returns of the
wealth, the population and the earnings
of the whole of the United States,
"that the average annual earnings of
the whole American people do not ex-
coed $500 a year each. The average
earnings Of the employed classes do not
exceed $1,000. The average earnings of
those holding salaried ~employments do
not exceed 81, 500. The average earn
ings of the learned professions do not
exceed 50, 800"

OLD AND NEW.

New little feet
Patter on the floor;
New little faces
Peep through the door;
New little souls
Have entered into life
New little voices
Speak in love or strife;
New little fingers
Tightly clasp our own;
New little tendrils
Round our hearts have growI
Still the old voices
Echo in our ear,
And the old faces
Hallowed are and dear
Still the old friends
Who have passed away.
Live in III Affection
Love has no decay,
And the old words,
Spoken long ago,
Keep the heart tender,
Make the tears flow.
Thus New and Old
Mingle in one,
Each has its blessing:
And when life is done
Old faces, old friends
Will meet us again
Treasures long buried
We shall regain
AL that is lovely,
All that is true,
VIII live ON forever,
The Old and the New.

The Corn Crop of 1873.

The prospects for a large growth of
corn in 1873 are daily diminishing. The
lateness of the season has been remark
able. The cold, raw, and wet weather
has prevailed in all parts of the great
corn-growing belt of the country.
Though there are many conflicting re-
ports concerning the extent of the corn
planted, it is o tolerably certain that
the area is not more than half as exces-
sive as in 1872. The season has not
been, and does not promise to be, pro-
pitious. Even if as much land was
planted as in 1872, the probable pro-
duction would fall short of last year.
The bad weather has not been peculiar
to Illinois, but has been the same gen
orally throughout the corn-growing
States. These States last year produced
the following quantity of corn:

THE other day a little boy who had
cut his finger ran up to his mother and
cried cite it up, ma tie it up quick,
for the juice is all running out !" The

siye hot days, appealed to his mother
for help, saying: "Ma, do help me,
for I'm leaking all over"

The principal co~rn-producing districts
are the central portion of Illinois, the
northwestern portion of Missouri,
Western Iowa, apart of Central Indiana,
and Kansas. Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin can hardly be classed as corn
producing States, as they have little or
none to export. The corn-growing dis
tricts form but a comparatively small
portion of the area of the States in
which they are located, and yet they
supply the surplus that makes good the
deficiency in the product of other States,
and furnish the amount required for
foreign export. The entire export of
corn in 1872 did not exceed, perhaps,
%, 000, 600 bushels. The corn-growing
districts are for the most part in the in
terror, and depend on rail communica-
ton to reach markets.
The question how much the reduction
in the corn crop will enhance the price
of the large surplus of last year can only
be determined by experience. A cor
responding failure of the cereal crops
generally would advance the prices of
all grains three or four fold; but, as sew
eral of these grains can be substituted
for others, the failure of one will not
advance the price to the extent that
would follow a general failure. The use
of corn as an article of human food
is very limited beyond the United
States, and any serious advance in the
price would at once lead to the substi-
tuition of other articles. Corn is prin-
cipally exported to Europe as a substi-
tute for oats, and any considerable ad-
vance in the cost of the one would lead
to the substitution of the other for ex-
port. The breadstuffs and grain i'm
ported into Great Britain are -four,
wheat, barley, oats, beans, and
corn, and the amount of each of these
varies from year to year, according to
the variations in the crops of the coun-
tries where they are obtained. 1t is
possible that a short crop of corn would
lead to the expectation of large pro-
portion of oats, beans, and oil cake,
leaving the corn to supply the domestic
market.
At the present time the market IS
overloaded with corn, and hence,
although the anticipated deficiency is
already understood in commercial
circles, the price does not advance. The
proportion of last years crop still on the
farms is very much a matter of gness-
work, but is supposed to be large. The
amount of the deficiency this year is
more or less problematical but, if it
turns out to be one-half, it is very likely
that the farmers will get as much for
whole if the season had been more pro-
pitious, besides securing better prices
for what they have held over from last
year.-Chicago Tribune.
