Items.

1t is announced that on Friday next the
President will celebrate his silver wedding
at Long Branch, on which occasion there
will be present not only immediate rela-
tives, but several members of the cabinet
and host of friends from New York.
Advices from DR.. Ben. Nj. Thomas,
United States agent at the south Apache
agency, New Mexico, state that the
Apaches have left their reservation aud
assumed defiant attitude in consequence
of demand for the surrender of Sancho,
a notorious murderer and thief. Their ex-
cpse was that they had complied
with the government demands in
going on the reservation, and did not intend
that any of their people should be inter-
tered with. A military force under Major
Price appeared TO enforce the demands,
when the Indians fled to the mountains,
followed during the night by their women.
The military succeeded in arrestng three
men, two boys and about thirty women,
and took them back to the reservation.
The action of Major Price has been APP
proved by General Pope. Efforts will be
made to get the Indians back, but il they
remain hostile proper steps will be taken
to protect settlers.

A PARIS INDUSTRY There is in Par
is, says the London Echo, an aged woman
who has for the last fifty years supported
herself by an industry of which, we believe,
she enjoys a complete monopoly. She
supplies the Garden of Accumulation
in Paris, with food for the pheasants,
which food consists entirely of ants
eggs. These she collects in the woods
around Paris, and receives about twelve
francs for the quantity she brings back
from each of her foraging expeditions,
These generally last three or four DAYS,
during which she sleeps on the field of ac-
ton, in order to watch the insects at dawn,
and to find her way to their treasures,
She is almost devoured by the ants, and
inconvenience of which she takes little no.
| tice, but at the end of her harvest-time
which lasts from the month of june to the
end of September, her whole body is in 8
truly pitiable condition. Her services are
of course, highly valued, for, as there is al
present no competition in this line of in
dustry, it would be difficult to supply hel
| place.

WHAT rs UNDER THE House ?-One
great fault in building houses in both city
and country is to make them too low on
the ground. There should be distance
enough to allow free circulation Of air,
say three feet between the floor and the
earth. All the rubbish, shavings, etc.,
should be cleaned away before siding up,
and good ventilation should be kept open
to insure dry, sweet air under the floors.
Much sickness is caused in many families
from low underpinning and close. damp,
stasnant air, carrying miasma into the
lower rooms through the floors OF
dwellings. Many houses are built
upon flat ground and the earth thrown
around the outside, making sink under
the house to hold water. This is wrong.
It is much better to raise the ground
under the house, and even gravel and ce-
ment before building. At any rate venti-
lation under the house should always be
attended to. We do not believe in cellars
under the house in our climate, but when
ever there is a cellar it should be open,
and always kept clean of decaying substan-
ces. Guard against the enemies to heath
that lurll under the house.-Anon.

The CROPS IN EUROPE.--The Consti-
tutionel of Paris, Guly 26,) gives the fol-
lowing most recent summary of the pros
pect of thescrops in Europe: ''In France
the heat Of the last few days has gone far
to undo the evil effects of the floods of last
autumn and the heavy continuous rains OF
the spring, and there is now the promise of
an abundant harvest of excellent quality.
In the north, where the excessive mois-
ture excited grave anxiety, the wheat crop
is magnificent. In some parts of the
east, unfortunately, the storms and fierce
southwest winds have laid the grain, and
done great damage by breaking the stems.
England and Belgium seem reassured,
and are no longer haunted by the appre-
tensions that prevailed recently owing to
the rams and storms. In Hungary and
Germany, although the cold of April has
injured the rye crops, the wheat presents
an admirable appearance. Hay has beer
cut in good condition almost everywhere
and potatoes are all that could be wished
The vine crop again, which suffered SO Sc.
verely early in the season, has largely re.
covered. There will certainly be def
ciencyin quantity, but the quality will be
good. Unhappily, the phylloxera vasta
trlN makes greatprogress in many localities
despite all the obstacles to its attacks pre-
sented by SCIENCE"

How TO keep EGGs. s.-Put into tub
or vessel one bushel of nnslaked lime,
thirty-two ounces of salt, eight ounces OF
cream tartar, and add water till the mix
ture will bear an egg. Into this put the
eggs, and they will keep for two years.
One ounce Of salt, one quarter ounce OF
cream tartar, and one quart of lime are
the proportions on small scale. A cloth
should be laid on the eggs to keep the
tops wet. The lady who sends this says
put eggs down this way in the middle
of May, and in August they tasted like
fresh eggs" She adds: 81 know peo.

TAKING MEDICINE.-Am are
prone to take medicine. Have it they will,
particularly in the states. II is very gen.
teel to enjoy poor health in this country.
That fashionable pc ssion supports more
mineral springs than there are native dia-
monds in Colorado. Nothing sells quicker
in the market than patent pills. People
will have them, particularly if they tear
their bowls all to pieces. That is an evidence
of their utility, and who is a better judge
than those who take them? Besides an
active army of about fifteen thousand
medical practitioners of all sorts, over
thirty medical institutions are annually
tuning out more by hundreds. But the
demand is great. Those who know but
little are quite as much in demand as those
sustaining dignifed positions who know
nothing. We are oyer-physicked. Dlffu-
sive science is the remedy for national
meteorological about at our expense
all over Europe.

"Is the Negro Fit to Govern 20

A correspondent discussing this question

the qualified negro any more unfit to gov

adds:
aTo say that on the average, he is de.
plorably Ignorant does not answer the ques-
ton, because the masses agree to be led by
those who are educated. What does the gem

certainly cannot be that the editor of The
Commonwealth intends these assertions to
go beyond the narrow limits of Farmyille.
Ii he did, we consider him desperately igno-

present the ability of the negro race. lie
ought to read some other literature than
that created in Farmville and the state of
Virginia. lie ought to travel little, and
am sure he would speak differently.
"As to the negro's knowledge ofpolitics,
limited though it may be, VIC fear it is
most too much to consent to the farther
degradation and servitude which that cdi.

the negro 'may be a man and brother

our eminent statesmen, neither past nor
present; and more than that, his asser-
tons arc unworthy to come from the lips Of

MISSOURI.
The DesDera,Ioes

ST. LoUrs, August ia Jefferson
City special says: Governor Woodson has
issued an order to convene special term
of The Galloway circuit for an investigation
of the lynching of Peter Kessler, at
Fulton, on Friday last. The special
irrther says that desperate en-
counter may soon be expected be-
tween the railroad-train robbers and an
Iowa sheriff, armed with requisition from
the governor. The encounter will probably
take place in Lafayette, Clay or Jackson
county, where these robbers alternately
rendezvous, under the lead of the notorious
desperate, George Mccoy.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Two more deaths are reported among
the victims bv the Chicago and Alton rail-
road disaster, making thirteen in all. The
latter statements of the collision indicate
an amount of criminal recklessness on the
part ofthe train officials that is scarcely cred.
ible. On single track road both engineers
were racing their trains for a siding, each
knowing that if one or the other did not
reach it there could be no escape from
frightful calamity. It seems to be a case
in which there exists not the slightest
excuse for the guilty, and if ever men could
justly be punished for destroying life these
ought to be. The railroad also comes in
for large share of blame. tt endeavored
to conceal the news of the occurrence, and
was slow in sending relief TO the wrecked
train. Somehow or other something must
be done to make the managers and en-
ployees Of railways sensible Of the respon-.
slbiiity for human life resting upon them,
and if Illinois justice inficts exemplary pun
ishment in this instance, it will deserve the
thanks of the whole people.
The municipal government of Rome has
forbidden the passage through the city Of
religious pilgrims. Although the prohibit
ton is laid down in the interests OF the pub
lie peace and health, the Catholic Church
will see in it only new act of oppression
and tyranny on the part Of Victor
Emanuel and his subordinates.
A novel celebration of the Fourth OF
July occurred in one of the peaks of the

neers ascended, planting the stars and
