Another Infant Orator.

A San Francisco correspondent OF the
Albany Journal has discovered in that
city q new Young American orator,
named Ellie Brown, and only five years
old. Somewhat enthusiastically he
communicates the news, which may be
classed as sad 10y many readers, thus !;
His declamations are really astonishing.
He has spoken many times III pubic,
before large audit nces, reciting the
most difficult and lengthy pieces in a
manner unsurpassed by many of our
most distinguished orators, He has a
full voice, and he speaks distinctly, and
with the most accurate pronunciation.
His elocution is such az we would expect
only from an experienced orator OF ma
ture years. His rendition of the Per
sonal Character cf Abraham Lincoln,
4" Sheridan's Ride, )" "Charge of the
Light Brigade" "Shamus OBrien, F"
"The Fireman" and several other
pieces, astonishes every one who hears
him, and almost induces the belief that
there is something supernatural in his
efforts He is very bright, vivacious
lad, full of mischief and play, and his
speaking does not seem To be at all la
borious. IL is only necessary to read
piece two or three times 10 enable
him 10 commit IL to memory, and he
does not forget any of his $50 pieces.
lie is a great favorite, and his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Brown, have reason
10 be proud of him. He is a grandson
of Mr. William Gage, Of Schoharie, and
his mother formerly Miss Augusta
Goge few years since resided in
Albany. This lad has not been trained
elocution and oratory we're perfectly
natural for him from the first moment
that he was able 10 talk. He il indeed
n prodigy.

Artificial Aurora.

Boston papers mention that ON We'd
nesday evening last remarkable
luminous phenomenon resembling the
tail of comet was observable in por-
tions of that city at the time of fire at
the South end. The Transcript says
With the exception of needing a
nucleus there was very little in APP
pearance from the tail of comet, the
light lessening as the force of the fire
was checked. There will be found a
ready explanation of the phenomenon
by CHASING ii as an artificial auroral light,
for the generation of which the atmo-
sphere was last evening peculiarly fit
ted. 1t is known that (the least change
of temperature by heat or cold will
change the nature and condition of the
electric and magnetic currents, and
their effects upon light and color under
any process of combustion. Last
evening the wind was in the right direc-
ton, it was fearfully cold, and the
humidity of the atmosphere, which, in
a hygrometic sense, became almost
crystalline, fitted the same for a rare
local luminous appearance, when affect

line of draught in the line of reflected
light, like mat of auroral streamers.
The band was a clearly-defined column

the zenith to southwest, and there be

that new comet had come unawares,

central portion was the most luminous
from the fact that the current was

Relative Value of Milk.

The question of the value of milk
made into butter and cheese, compared
with that sold in the market, is inter
esting to those within reach of amarket
for milk. Comparisons are frequently
instituted from estimates and exact sta
tistics, both very properly brought into
the arguments. The general testimony
of the comparisons seems to be that
milk sent in the cities brings more
money than dairy of butter or cheese
of the same number of cows. At the
January meeting of the Butter makers
of Western New York, it was stated by
several dairymen that their income was
$40 to 1913 per COW, and so estima-
ted value of the skinned milk. This
IS less than the income from milk sold
from an average dairy, and below the
average of good butter diaries. There
is much greater difference in the in
come of butter diaries than Of milk dali
ries. Good feeding, skill in making,
and good market may surely make a
difference of two to one. In the milk
business there is difference in the in
come often as three is to two. There is
an occasional butter dairy which makes
a gross receipt of 500 per COW, and
there are some milk diaries that reach
that, 1t requires a higher degree of
skill and good management in the but
ter dairy, but it is as sure. 1t is diff
cult to bring statistics enough to settle
the question, as there are 50 many I'M
measured circumstances to be brought
in. 1t must be determined very much
by the help of good judgment.
There is one item in the discussio
which is sometimes left out. That is
the difference in the cost of keeping
cows for milk and for butter. 1t iswell
understood that the producers of milk
make nearly as much milk in winter as
in summer, and the COWS must be fedin
the best manner through the winter
with the best forage and grain, making
the cost of milk in winter much greater
than in summer, while the butter and
cheese makers give their cows rest two
or three months in the winter, consum-
ing much less food when dry. The diff
ference in cost of sending milk to mar
ket and manufacturing it, depends on
the distance from the railroad and many
other circumstances. In great num-
Der of cases there is not much differ
ence. There is no question but that
a careful manager, who makes the best
quality of butter or cheese, can get as
much clear profit from a hundred acres
of land as the seller of milk, and the
market is certain not to fail.

We often read, in books of travel, of
the silence and gloom of the Brazilian
forests. They are realities, and the
impression deepens on a longer ac-
qualntance The few sounds of birds
are OF that pensive or mysterious char
acter which intensifes the feeling of
solitude rather than imparts a sense of
life and cheerfulness. Sometimes, in
the midst of the stiffness, a sudden veil
or scream will startle one; this comes
from some defenceless fruit-eating ami
NAL, which is pounced upon by a tiger
cat or stealthy boa constructor. Morn
ing and evening the bowling MONKEYS
make a most fearful and narrowing
noise, under which tits difficult to keep
up ones buoyancy ofspirit The feeling
OF unacceptable wildness which the for
est is calculated to inspire, is increased
ten-fold under this fearful uproar.
Often, even in the still hours of mid
day, a sudden crash will be heard
resounding afar through the wildness.
as some great bough or entire tree falls
to the ground. There are, besides,
many sounds which it is impossible to
account for. / found the natives gen.
orally as much at loss in this respect
as myself. Sometimes the sound is
heard like the clang of an iron bar
against hard, hollow tree, or a pierre
ing cry rends the air; these are not
repeated, and the succeeding silence
tends to heighten the unpleasant inn
preston which they make ON the mind.
With the natives it is always the Curu-
pira, the wild man or spirit of the forest,
which produces all noises they are un-
able TO explain. Myths are the rude
theories which mankind, in the infancy
of knowledge, invent TO explain natural
phenomena. The Curupira is a mys-
terious being, whose attributes are
uncertain, for they vary according TO
locality. Sometimes he is described as
an ouang-outang, being covered with
long, shaggy hair, living in trees. BY
Others he is said to have clovenfeet and
a bright red face. He has wife and
children, and comes down from the
rocks to steal the mandioca. AT one
time / had a Mameluco youth in my
service, whose head was full of the
legends and sUperstitions of that coun-
try. He always went with me into the
forest in fact | could not get him to
go alone, and whenever we heard any
of the strange noises mentioned above,
he used to tremble with fear. He would
crouch down behind me, and beg of me
to turn back. He became easy only
after he had made charm TO protect
ms from the Curupira. For this pur-
pose he took young palm leaf, plated
it, and formed it into ring, which he
hung TO a branch on our track.

Mare with Cough and swea,s.

For cough give her upon the tongue
twice dv, two teaspoonfuls of the
followin, &, fluid extract .gelseminum
/ o., flu extract lobelia 8 ozs., mix.
Repeat tlhs for a week, mare or less. III
the cough does not get better, then you
must wait three or four days, and if the
cough is not quite gone, resume treat
ment.
For sweating too easily, and apparent
weakness give her as follows: Fluid
extract of golden seal, tincture of gen
tian, do. of ginger equal parts; one OF.
every morning for two or three weeks.
This will materially stimulate and
strengthen the digestive organs, and
through them the whole system, and
thus be likely to prevent the sweating
you complain of. If there is any run
ming at the nose, wash the nostrils with
Tilden's Bromo Chloralum, one to ten
of water (rain water). Feed generously,
and when you work the mare be careful
not to overwork her, as this would be
wrong and materially interfere with the
chances of cure, in fact, undue work
will so debilitate the animal that she
will be more likely TO get worse than
better.

without fertilizers-from one to two
tons of green willows.
The land should be deeply ploughed
and pulverized, and the sods and grass
roots should be removed as far as pos
sible. The cuttings should be eight
inches in length, of well ripened wood,
and and six inches deep, at an angle of
As degrees with the rows, the rows
thirty inches apart, and the sets
six inches in the rows. AS the cut
tings are not expensive, it is better to
thus insure a good stand than to be at
the trouble of re setting the next sea-
son. If the ground is dry enough, l
prefer to cultivate some small crop, like
beans, between the rows the first sea-
son, as it will keep down grass and
weeds until the willows can get start.
The first year they will amount to
nothing for market. but must be cut
Just the same, as they will branch the
second year If not so treated, and spoi
them for peeling, The second year a
light crop of from one to two tons may
be expected, and so on to the third and
fourth years, when the willow, will be-
come well rooted, and produce as large
crops as ever Particular care should
be used in cutting them close to the
ground, as they will stool out better
and facilitate the subsequent cutting.
The cost of cutting is about $12 per
acre.
An English writer, quoted in the
Monthly Report of the Department of
Agriculture, for September, 1878, de-
scribes a mode of planting by means of
a frame, which marks the particular
spot at which each cutting is to be
inserted in the ground. This writer
shows the importance of pushing the
suttings their whole length into the
coil Rods so planted, he says, send
cut straight shoots, and when the crop
is cut out close to the ground, manure
can be applied to the land, plowed be-
tween the rows and narrowed over, and
kept as clean as an ordinary arabic
field. This, he adds, by many, will be
looked npon very skeptically, but l
have practiced it for many years, and
have every reason TO be satisfied with
the result.

Metals and Minerals Along the Line of
the Pacific Road.

From the last report of the Union
Pacific Railroad, we learn that q dis
covery of sulphur has been made at
a point thirty miles south of the rail
road in Utah Territory. The deposit
covers an area of over thirty acres, is of
great depth, and is apparently mex
haustible. Being 50 per cent pure sui
phur, 1t rs the richest deposit of tne
kind in the known world. Last year
$4,000 tons of sulphur were imported
into this country, and sold at a price
which would warrant the transportation
of this sulphur to the Atlantic coast in
competition, while for all interiorpoints
in the country it will command the
market and pay liberal rates to the I'm
ion Pacific Railroad for transportation.
Other valuable minerals extensively
used in the mechanical arts have been
found near the line of railroad in extra
ordinary purity. Among these are
plumbago, the sulphate of alumina, and
the peroxide of manganese, 80 per cent.
pure. Iron ore is found in large guam
titles at various points near the line of
railroad for a length of 500 miles. Re
peated analyses show that the ore will
fiux readily, and is adapted to the man
ufacture of Bessamer steel, yielding in
some instances 81 per cent. of iron. An
inexhaustable supply of soda has been
found, near the line of the road, that
can be delivered on the Atlantic coast
at prices to exclude the soda of impor-
tation, of which, during the year 1872,
there were brought into this country
118,000 tons, valued at over So, 900, 900,
1t has been ascertaIned that where the
railroad crosses Green River there is to
be found an oil-bearing shale, similar
in all respects to the shales of Scotland,
from which were manufactured last year
in that country over 10000, 900 gallons
of oil. The Green River shale is found
in strata 40 feet thick, above water
level, and extends over large area.
Scientists and oil manufacturers, who
have fully invo 5tigated the subject,
agree in the opinion that lubricating
and burning oils can be made from
this shale at a cost not exceeding II
cents per gallon. When it is consul
cred that tins oil may be delivered at
any point east of the Rocky Mountains
at apriceto compete with the lubricating
oils of West Virginia, and that for the
supply of lubrica ting and burning oils
for the Pacific coast it will control the
market, the importance of this discov-
cry to the interests of the Union Pacific
Railroad will readily be appreciated.
