DICKENS CoLILNs.-On several occasions,
as is well known, Dickens and Wilkie Col
Inns wrote a short story together. ION one
of these occasions" said Mr.. Collins recent
ly, ave agreed to exchange styles, so as to
puzzle the critics; Mr.. Dickens was to
adopt my style, and I was to initiate his.
The plan succeeded perfectly, and it was
amusing to see the reviewers point out a
passage of mine as an example of Dickens's
peculiar vein, and in the next sentence COM
ment on q paragraph Of Dicken's as a
sample of Wilkie Collins's sensational style"

A traveller in Terra del Fuego, thinks
that the natives would gladly sell the whole
country for few sacks of -four. Here is a
chance for any man with S or $40 who
wants to be real king with real subjects
The only drawback is that his subjects
would eat him whenever their -four gave
out.

The Bishop of Lincoln has struck hard
blows at the evil of simony, or of buying and
selling church livings, which seems, he says,
to be increasing In the English establish
ment. Sometimes the advertisements of
livings for sale are set forth with strange
of greenhouses, gardens, coaches and stables
trout streams and watering places, and hints
of the lightness of the work, the smallness
of the congregation, and the old age of the
incumbent. The Bishop says: 1--WE have
shut up the slave market of Zanzibar, but
We have opened slave markets of souls in
London"

were fred at Mr.. Earnsdorf, one of them
taking effect in his right arm and two in his
left arm, supposed to have been fired from a
revolver by the thief, who was in the yard.
Mr.. Earnsdorf7s wounds prevented him from

At present Mr.. Earnsdorf is suffering from
his wounds, though they are not dangerous.

A1giers and Gretna.

Up to P. NJ. yesterday, the levee that
guards the river front from Algers to Gretna
was still intact, but at several places, viz i:
just above Brooklyn and in front of Free
town, showed evident signs of weakness.
In the rear of Gretna the back water has
reached the track of Morgan's Railroad.
Grand Levee.
We have not received any news to confirm
the reported break of this, one Of the most
important levees in our State.
At Carrollton
The levee still continues to be closely
watched, and no present danger need be ap-
pretended from that quarter.
The City Front.
At 1OP. NJ. yesterday the river in front of
the city was about on a stand, ana the SUBJ
merged portions Of the upper steamboat
landing were gradually being relieved of the
water which had covered it for several days
past. Although the fall of the water along
the city front has been over eight inches in
the last twenty -four hours, the residents of
the rear portion are still in great danger.
As the crevasse at Bonnet Care is at
present and will for some weeks to come
pour an immense volume of water into Lake
Pontcbartrain, it will be well for our city
authorities to make arrangements for the
protection of the rear of our city. They
should see that all the protection levees are
in order and not wait to close the door after
the horse has escaped, as has been too often
the case.

herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sier-
ra Nevada mountains of California, the

as short-sighted eyes are diseased

persons TO consult. 1t cannot be toe
universally known that short sight
tends to increase; aud that if it in

destructive changes, and therefore il
is an objection which requires prompt
attention. Perfection of sight is es-
sential to our welfare aud happiness,
and any one who negiects those pre-,
cautions, upon the observation OF
which its preservation depends, Will
find cause for deeper repentance in
later life. Young men and young

Choking. Cows.

Mr.. Charles V. Greer, of Franklin
township, seeing a remedy in the
Reporter last week to relieve chOk.
ing cows, 1. E., compelling them to
Jump over bars not fully let down
gives US his experience as follows :
Some years ago one of his cows
choked with a piece of pumpkin.
Having beard that an obstruction In
the throat could be removed by in
sorting a whipstock, be tried it with
ont effect. The pumpkin remained.
Hurrying of be met Mr.. Rush, to
whom be related his trouble. Mr.. r..
informed him that be had heard of a
remedy that be thought would an
swer, but that he had never tried it:
Take two or three eggs and throw
them down the animals throat. Mr..
Greer tried one, but the beast threw
it out Of her mouth Two more were
pitched in, and as they passed down
they carried the pumpkin with hem,
and the animal was instantly reliev
ed. Subsequently a calf which he
had presented to his daughter choked
with a potato. The egg remedy was
at once applied and the calf was in
stantly relieved. This is a very sim
pie remedy, n nearly always at
hand, and if any of our readers have
occasion to try it we would be glad
to hear the result.

Importance OrsaIt In Food,

Mr.. Foster has made some inter-
esting experiments on dogs and pig
cons, which show that animals suffer
and die when inorganic salts are al
together absent from their food, al
though the other nutritiye constitu-
ents may be abundant. In all the
animals tried there was a condition
Of muscular weakness, tremor, and
general exhaustion. In the dog the
muscles Of the ,,posterior e%xtremiues,
from the second week Of the expert
ment onward, gradually assumed a
paralytIc character, as when the
function Of the spinal cord is weaken
ed. The activity Of the cerebrum
was also impaired, as VAS evident
from the bluhtness Of the senses and
apathy of the animal. Later on. in
creased excitability often appeared /;
the dogs were terrified at any quick
motion one bad a brief attack of
madness, but soon crouched down
trembling and growing. On being
taken out, it ran forward and knock
ed its head against a wall. After the
animals had been deprived of salts
for some time, the juices Of the in
testinal canal either lost their diges-
tive power or were not secreted in
proper quantity, and nutrition was
thus interfered with. Death took
place, however, from the alterations
in the nervous system, before there
had been time for il to occur from in
anition. The quantity Of salts neces-
sary to life is smaller than is general
ly supposed, but the exact amount
required is still to be determined.

Cribbing Horses.

One of our correspondents asks for
a remedy or cure for a cribbing mare.
For a real cribbef, we know of no
cure nor do we believe there Is any
after the vice is well established.
Our correspondent is wrong in
supposing that it never results IN any
way, except from the force OF exam
ple-we have known a colt less than
one year old, that was a bad cribber,
and yet be had probably never seen
apother morse crib. His sire was a
confirmed hand at the business, and
this, taken ir connection with other
cases, leads US to believe that at least
in some cases il is hereditary. IL is
a local saying that it always de-
scends from the sire, but never from
the mare; of the truth of this we
know but little. Another theory Is,
that it is caused by the teeth being
too close and c~rowding one another,
and that it may be cured by running
a small file between them. In oppo-
sition 20 this we may suggest that in
the case of the young colt there
could not have been much crowding OF
the teeth.
From the letter Of u correspOn-
dent, we think be does not make q
proper distinction between cribbing
and wind sucking" In the former
the animal seizes hold Of the manger
and fills himself with air before be
lets go. In the latter be gives one
inhalation, and then lets go; and as
! the habit becomes more or less con-
fir ned, makes them more or less fire.

cIopson Red ChaG smooth white
wheat.
In giving a description. in a form

In giving a description, in a former
number of this journal, we inadveTt'
emily neglected TO mention that Mr.
p. NJ. Clowson, of Ntrth Hester, \.
Y, was the introducer of this extra
fine wheat. Mr.. Clowson writes
that it was selected out Of a field Of
Red Mediterranean Wheat, and Is
without doubt, q o between the
White Soles and Mediterranean
We see that Mr.. Clowson has called
the attention of Mr.. Geddes, the re-
nowned farmer Of New York State,
to his wheat, who speaks very highly
Of it.
We gave it a trial and can COM
mend il as being hardy, after three
successful crops, cultivated under the
most Gisadvantageous circumstances
1t stood the test of two of U hard
est freezing winters, when all the
other known hardy varieties were
completely frozen ou;-especialiy IN
1872, when the Mediterranean was
killed. In that severe winter the
Clawson Red Chat stood solid as a
block, at harvest, and gave nearly
forty bushels per acre.
We recommend this variety for the
most northern States, where our
~favorite hardy wheats are likely to
be frozen out. Where this wheat
has the advantage of good soil, fair
climate and thorough cultivation, il
cannot be surpassed for yield or
quality Of grain. 1t should be 10 the
hands of every farmer, as it conf
mands now the leading prices in our
markets.
The Clowson Red Chat Smooth
White is acknowledged by all farmers
who have seen it to be the best winter
wheat 10 America. 1t is the hardest
and most prolific wheat, and being a
hinty white wheat it brings the high
est prices. 1t eau be sown on all
kinds of soil, and always yields &
large crop, with the assurance OF
giving a larger yield than any other
wheat in America. We do believe
il will yield from five to ten bushels
more per acre than other smooth
wheat in this country. 1t has the
largest head and moro grains in the
head than any other.

American wheat in England.

During the first eight months OF
the present year England has drawn
from the United States more than
half the entire amount of wheat that
she has been obliged to import. the
amount being So per cent. We fur
nished her in the first eight months
Of last year 491 per cent OF her entire
importstions OF this cereal. During
that time Russia furnished 248 per
cent, her contributions this year fail
ing to IL per cent. From British
North America only 81 per cent. was
drawn in the first eight months of
the year, the amount for the cores
ponding time this year being 9 per
cent. These figures show at a glance
the growing importance ofthe United
States to England as a source of sup
ply for breadstuffs.

How to Avoid Taking Cold.

The Sanitarian says: A cold is
simply a developer of a diseased con-
dition, which may have been latent,
or requiring only some %favoring con-
dition 70 burst out into the fame ofdis-
ease. That this is usually the correct
view of a cold as a disease producing
agent, under all ordinary circumstan-
ces, may be made plain by reflection
upon personal experience, even to the
most ordinary understanding. When
the human body is al its prime, with
youth, vigor, purity, and a good con-
stitution on lis side, no degree Of or
binary exposure to cold gives rise to
any unpleasant effects. All the or
binary precautions against colds,
coughs, and rheumatic pains may be
| disregarded, and no i'll effects ensue.
But let the blood become impure, let
the body become deranged from any
acquired disorder, OF let the vigor be-
gin to Yane, and the informities OF
age be felt by occasional derange-
ments il some vital part, either from
inherited or actual abuses, and the
action Of cold will excite more or less
disorder, or the disease that will en-
sue will be determined by the kind
Of pre-existing blood impurity, or the
pre-existing fault Of these organic
processes. 1t follows from these
facts and considerations that the Sc
cret of avoiding The unpleasant con-
sequences thought to spring wholly
from the action Of cold upon the body
has very little dependence upon ex-
posure, but a great deal upon the i'm
pure and weak condition Of all the vi
tai processes. In other words, with
an average or superior constitution
and intelligent observance Of all the
laws Of health, men and women
could not take cold ifthey wanted to-:
they might be exposed to the action
of cold to a degree equal to the beasts
of the fields, and with ike impunity.
But in case Of persons with feeble
constitutions, and who disregard
knowingly or otherwise the condi-
of healthy existence, no degree of
care will prevent the taking Of cold,
as it is termed. They may live in
houses regulated with all the pre-
cision of a dollhouse, they may cover
themselves with the most highly pro-
tective clothing the market provides,
and vet they will take cold. | don't
think the consumptive person lives,
or ever will live, evenif kept in
a temperature absolutely uniform.
and clothed in a wholly faultless man
ner, in whom the well known signs
Of one cold after another will not be
apparent. But on the other hand,
there are those who, like the late Sir
Henry Holland, of good constitutions,
and living in accordance with the
laws of health, may travel, as be did,
from the topics to the arctics again
and again, clad only in an ordinary
dress-coat, and yet scarcely know
what it is to have a cold or sickness
of any kind. The truth is, to avoid
taking cold from ordinary or even ex-
traordinary exposure, the vital pro-
cesses must be made strong enough
to rise above the untoward influence
Of external conditions.
