eD- Chicago boasts of half million
population, and the most wonderful
water-works of any city in the world.
While Rome conducts its water from
the Albanian Mountains over the Claud-,
ian aqueducts, Chicago burrows in. a
tunnel two miles under Lake Michigan,
and takes water from depth of hund-
red feet, where it is both pure and cold.
She opened one of these aqueducts a
few years ago, and it was thensnpposed
to be of sufficient capacity to supply all
future wants, but she has already had
to build second one, which is about
completed. lp a~@12 aafo.it

A New CHICAGO HOTEL. follow
ing piece of solemn humor is perpe-
trated by the Berlin National Zsitunq !:
The latest American progress in build
ing will be the g mammoth hotel" soon
to be erected in Chicago. This enor-
nous hotel is to have frontage of three
English miles; the height of seventy
seven stories will measure 3,4SO feet
from the ground floor to the roof. The
hotel will have no stairs, but 500 bal
looms will always be ready to take vis-
itors up to their room. No room wait
ers are to be employed, but visitors will
be served by newly patented automat-
ic, contrivance in every room, which will
do all shaving, shampooing, etc. to the
guests by very simple and ingenious
mechanism. Supposing the guest re-
quires hot water, the automaton will be
able to call down stairs: CA bucket of
water up to room No. 1,0O3 ,1O7," and
the water will be up in seven seconds
by patented elevator. Half an hour
before table d'hote, instead of ringing
of bells, gun fourteen pounder) will
he fired on each floor, to call the guests
to get ready for their meals. The ta-
bles in the dining rooms will measure
four miles each, attendance to be per-
formed by twelve walters on horseback
on either side of the table. Music dur
ing table d'hote will be played-gratis
by eight bands of seventy-seven men
each.
For the convenience of visitors, rail
way will be built on each floor, as we'll
as telegraph offices. The price of one
bedroom will be from 81 to $40. The
cost of this building is estimated
to be $3.50, 100000 The billiard room
will contain 900 American, 80 French
and one English table, and as most of
the visitors are expected to be Ameri-
cans, the billiard room will be fitted out
with spittoon of one hundred feet in
circumference.

the one or two year old roots
were set quite deeply. say one
foot deep in the trenches but
within a few years the practice
has somewhat changed, as it can
not be had so early by deep
planting. We should not advise
planting it more than four or six
inches deep, preferring on many
soils four inches. The young
plants should not be covered
more than two inches deep when
set. or they will be likely to de-
cav. The earth can be drawn in
gradually during the summer.
The rows may be three and
half or four feet apart, and the
plants in the row about a foot
apart. Latterly some Of the gar
deners have adopted the plan of
planting in stools some two feet
apart, and treating these stools
as a stool or hill of rhubarb. We
doubt not larger stalks can be
raised in this way than by the
old method. Salt may be used
to advantage on the beds. We
have seen salt applied SO freely
as to cause the soil to turn red,
and to prevent all weeds from
growing, and yet the asparagus
would flourish finely.-Boston

The Potato Onion

The French people in Maine,
who have cultivated and raised
these onions more than any 9TH
ers, have long been in the habit
of preparing their lands and set
ting them out in the fall. In this
way they make sure OF their seed.
which might otherwise, be lost
by ret, for we never find an on
ion of this sort hurt by winter
freezing in the ground, but find
them well started 70 grow when
the snow goes of. How this
would be where they do not have
much snow and much frozen
ground, we cannot say, but this
is always the case there. Ii they
can have highly manured land,
and the benefit of their first start
in growth, they will grow to a
good size. Another thing not
generally understood is that the
smaller the seed the better the
growth. They break the clusters
apart, pick out the largest to cook
and plant the smallest, and the
French even cut them in two.
This may seem an anomaly in
scientific culture, but it is the
case in this one thlng,-"wee
bits" make the largest onions.

Farm and Household.
Give Them One

If a child wants light to go
to sleep by. give it one. The
sort of Spartan firmness which
walks off and takes away the
candle, and shuts all the doors
between the household cheer and
warmth and the pleasant stir of
evening mirth, and leaves a little
son or daughter.to hide its head
under the bed-ciothes. and get to
bed as best il can is not at all
admirable. Not that the dear
mother means to be cruel when
she tries this or that hardening
process, and treats human nature
as lift were clay to be nodded
into any shape she may please.
Very likely she has no idea what
ever OF injury and suffering she
causes or perhaps her heart ach-
es; but she perseveres, thinking
she q Is doingsright. Children are
0iten obliged to endure a great
deal OF unnecessary hardship by
being subjected to absurd meth
DDS of discipline which every
good mother ought to avoid

Fence for Poultry Yards.

Procure scantling fourteen OF
fifteen feet in length. and cut
them into seven or eight feet
pieces, and so that they will pro
ject above ground five 1eet. On
the top of them nail strip OF
the same, and you will have your
frame complete. The laths should
be put on with shingle or lath
nails and need only lap ON to the
board at the top and bottom two
inches. Next, saw a bunch of
lath in two, and with a sharp
ack knife sharpen the end of each
piece, after which extend your
pickets above the top board by
mailing on the sharpened pieces.
allowing them to lap on to the
top board three inches. You
have now a finished fence six feet
nine inches in height. OF course
this would not do where the stock
could rub against it, but for town
people who want a few fouls, and
have to keep them confined, it is
Just the thing.

That Boy

pity q boy. As genera
thing, he is considered an un-
merciful offender. If there is
any mean little trick done out
side of law and corn exchange
offices, that is, among the small
er portion ofhumanity-its -that
boy" did it.
No one likes to see a lad go
shuffiing along the street, head
down, stealing glances out from
behind his ears, looking altogeth-
er as fresh as a cast off paper-col-
lar in back alley, or as sugges-
tive as a wad of woman's hair on
basement window sill. One usu
ally makes up his mind that "that
boyn is one;of providence's blue
blessings TO the public, and he
doesn't fall far short of the truth.
But, making due allowance for
the interest taken in the juvenile
class at the present day, the at
tention paid to the rising gener-
alton, the boy, generally speak
ing, has to make his way up in
the world at a disadvantage. He
is given the simple word, unvan-
ished and unadorned; his manli-
ness. his taste-and it lies not all
in his mouth, as many seem to
infer-his sense Of honor, of po-
liteness, is not appealed TO.
A boy is sent on an errand,
with the injunction to be as
speedy as possible. On entering
the store, he finds clerks all busy
with customers, and expects to
wait his turn; but just as he is
stepping up to make known his
errand, a young lady sweeps in.
For some reason or other the
young clerk doesn't see the boy,
and Immediately begins to deal
out his "lavender-scent bag" ci
Whites to said young lady. If
the boy does not make a gener-
al stampede, tread on the poo
dies tail, knock little children
down, step on the lady's train,
tearing it half off, he waits until
the final SIS there nothing more
can have the pleasure of show
ing yous" Then familiar "Well,
what do You, youngster." sounds
on his ear. Purchase made, he
mopes home, knowing he is too
late for supper.
In the parks, concert-rooms,
street-cars, churches, he is every
where welcome to the invitation
to "get up" and " stand out of
the way"

ture men of our country to bear

man occupying a position of finfiu-
ence and usefulness has often
said, with tender gratitude, "All

Good and Bad Roads.

We are all grumbling about
our roads and our surveyors. The
roads are miserable, and our sys-
tenn of making and repairing dhem
is miserable, too, but we do not
realize how much we are losing
by continuing to use them in
their present condition. The an
nual expense Ior wear and tear
Of horses, carriages and harness
is enormous, but the loss from
carrying only half the load we
might, on smooth, hard and level
road, is very much greater. Sup
posing a horse can pull on lev
ell road 1000 pounds, on a road
rising one foot to the hundred,
he could pull about 900 pounds.
If it rises two feet in a hundred
$40 pounds, two and half feet
720 pounds, four feet $40 pounds,
five ieet 400 pounds. and if the
rise were ten feet in a hundred,
he could pull $50 pounds, or only
one-quarter the load he could
draw on a level road. Then,
again, the condition of road,
whether hard and smooth, or soft
and uneven, has much to do with
the amount team can draw ov-
er it. Experiments made by Mo
rim show that a load of 5000
pounds, will require a tractlve
torce of 1000 pounds to move it
over firm, gravel road, newly
repaired. On best kind of grav-
ell road, 80 pounds. On broken
stone road in good condition, 1864
pounds; on a good pavement,
1881 pounds. According to the
above calculations, in the first
case it would require eight horses
10 do the work which one could
do in the latter case. So if both
roads were level, and We have
200 bushels Of potatoes to carry
to market, we could draw them
on the best paved road with one
horse, while on the newly repair
ed gravel road we shoald need
eight horses, and if the rise were
ten feet in a hundred we should
require thirty-twe horses to draw
the same load.
If these calculations are cor
rect and we think they are, who
can calculate the annual loss to
our country from poor roads?
And who can doubt that if all
this wasted energy and power
could be applied to the making
and repairing of our highways in
the best manner known, we
should, in few years, be able
to place them on par with
those of the older European ma
tions.-N. z. Farmer.

How he Lost the Opportunity.

Not long ago young man oil
this city had most favorable
opportunity to enter a business
house in this State, at a large
increase over his present salary,
with a prospect of soon getting
a place in the firm. His recon-
mendations were first class, and
the officers of the sinstitution
were decidedly pleased witt. his
appearance. They however,
made him no proposals. nor did
they state their favorable i'm
pressions.
A gentleman of this city was
requested to ascertain where the
young man spent his evenings,
and what class of young men
were his associates: !: 1t was found
that he spent several nights of
the week in a billiard room, and
Sunday afternoon drove hired
sban into the coutry with three
other men. He is wondering
why he didn't hear from the
house concerning that coveted
position.-Sprinqfeld Union.

every case. The veterinary sur
geons pronounce it st. Anthony's

intolerable itching. an in their
intense agony frequently rub the
hide from their bodies when a
greenIshs fluid oozes from the
pores. which after death elnits a
most offensive odor. Shortly af
ter being attacked the cattle
commence jerking in The mus

down and die, although retain
ing their appetites TO the very
last. As yet there has been no
remedy found that will cure the
malady.

Why Don't They Get that Thousand
Dollars?
An Offer Remaining in Force Two
Years without Takers.
Plain Answer to the Charge OF Alleged
Negro OutraEes in the South
ern States.

Democratic papers North have been so
long accustomed to christen every outbreak
that occurs in the South NEGRO outrage, y
that their readers and many of the public
outside have gradually drifted into the belief
that the black population in the late slave
States is banded together for the purpose OF
composing every conceivable act of violence.
While it is true that many acts of outla wry
have been committed by the race so suddenly
raised from servitude to freedom it is also
established beyond contradiction that in a
large majority of instances the negroes have
been melted thereto by the attempted tyr
amy of their former owners
As fitting answer to all the charges OF
black aggressiveness may be cited the num-
berless murders of negroes that have taken
place in every Southern State since the close
of the war, and the utter failure of the au-
thorities to punish, and in many cases even
to attempt TO apprehend their as.sssins. In
point is the offer of the Arkansas Republican,
Published at Little Rock, which has been
kept in a prominent place in the paper for
two years, to pay a reward of ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS for evidence, in a single instance,
where a Southern white man has over been
punished for killing negro.
No effort has yet been made to claim the
reward, though the parties offering it are
perfectly responsible. Careful estimates place
the number of negroes murdered since April,
1866, at NINE THOUSAND POUR HUNDRED
When have any Of their murderers been
punished2

MY DEAR SIR: Your letter, renewing the
invitation to visit Indiana, and speak in
your canvass, is received with printed mat
ter enclosed. 1t would give me great pleas
ure to visit your State and though I cannot
flatter myself that beyond showing my good
will 1 could aid you, yet most willingly
would l do that and as much more might
be. l am, however, hopeles.ly beset with
professional and other demands upon me, as
was somewhat explained to Colonel Mark
land when he was here.
L beg you not to suppose that any differ
ence in party creed or lack of sympathy
from any cause, has to do with my inability
to accept the invitation which you give in
such kind and fattering terms-far from it..
Friends in Wisconsin have urged q like in
vitation, and for the same reasons 1 have
worse avowal was never mada in the history
of political parties in America than the De-
mocracy so-callcd of Indiana has made, and
With all my heart and strength / would OPP
pose it, and would do every
thin lawful to uphold our
ticket everywhere. In sound pol
tics and honesty there is but one side to
your canvass, and your people cannot be so
Needless of their true interests as to suffer
our opponents to boast the approval of one
of the greatest OF the States of such doc
trlnes they have uttered.
With earnest wishes for your success,

publican party also intended to de-
sert them. Nothing but the pro-

publican party also intended to de-
sert them. Nothing but the pro-
tecting arm of the government
enables them to live in the South, even under
the hard conditions of their present exist
ence there, and the withdrawal of that protec-
ton would be followed by the expulsion from
the South Of all who might survive the hor-
rors which would Immediately be let loose
upon them. This is precisely the way they
interpreted the intended veto of the Civil
Rights bill, and the effect was to intinidate
and demoralize them. With the ex-rebels the
effect of the rumor was exactly opposite. 1t
harmonized with the third-term talk. and
confirmed their belief that the President was
about to abandon the Republican party and
form alliance with the Conservatives.
There can be no doubt that these two causes
have had much to do in bringing on the re-
cent outbreak.
Added To these were certain local successes
of the Democratic party, with the vague
hope that it is on the eve of series of grand
triumphs. 1t carried every county in Ten
nessee, and can point to material gains in
many localities in the North. Whether
with good cause not, it is manifest that
during the last year the Democracy in the
North have adopted a tone of confidence
and exultation which has met with swift
response in the hearts of pardoned rebels.
Democrats both North and South have
stronger hopes of carrying the country now
than for many years past, and the Southern
people are disposed to celebrate the victory
beforehand The antidote for these influ-
ences will be considered another day.
