Mr.. &. =. Mcrriinan, OF New York
the patcntcc Of the life dress, has offered
$500 to Mr.. Paul Boytou, tho diver, to
make II sea- voyage in his suit, in order
to demonstrate to the public its merits
as a life preScrvcr. He has accepted
the proposal, and on or about 25th OF
September he will be carried from New
York by AN outward bound steamer to
q distance not less than two hundred
miles from land, when he will be drop
ped and left to the mercy OF the waves
until he shall meet u passing vessel.
lie will carry with him y rubber bag
suttfcient rations, consisting of dried
meats, etc, for one week, M we'll rs II
good quantity of fresh water. He will
also carry signal lights and flags, with
sectional staff twelve feet long for
raising them, all of which arc TO be
slowed away in the unlimited portals
OF the rubber box, which is about two
feet square, and is little or no inconvcni-
ence, strapped toand tloated at the side of
the swimmer. The feat by many may
be considered as challenging death, but
Mr.. boyton is very sauguinc ofsucccss,
ana says that no would willingly allow
himself to be left a thousand miles out
without the slightest fears regarding
his safe recovery. In order to accom-
plish this object he has chosen the mon.
toned date as the one when he will be
most likely to encounter the sevcye,t
equfnoctiai gales.

HOW TO ESTIMATE THE PROFIT OF
A FARM.

The farmer lives in his own house.
The use of the house, which he does
not pay for, is AS much n part of his in
come as the money which Il suluricd
man pays for rent, is of his and should
be counted AS such in an estimate of
the profits OF the farm. All things pro.
duced ON the farm and consumed on the
farmers table, including the vegetables
from the gardens, the eggs and milk
used in cooking, are al much Il part 0:
his income as the money paid for such
things out of his salary is of the salarcd
man. If q farmer gives his wife and
children Il pleasant ride to town, using
his own horses and wagon, the value of
their use is part of his income from his
farm, as truly rs the money the other
man pays out of his salary for carthage
hire is OF his. The correct rule for cs-
timating the income from 1t farm is;
substantially this: Give credit for every
article produced, used nr expended in
any way whatever no matter how
small in value, .s well as for cash re-
ccivet( for products sold, and for in
crease in the value of farm property.
and charge against the .arin iov inter
% est on capital Invested and for all on
pcnuitures. Tho farmer that will do
this from year to year will not so much
feel like complaining OF the unpruiisn-
hleneSs of farming as compared with
other pursuits. The fact is that not one
in n hundred farmers take into consider
alton tho luxury aud comforts of fresh
eggs, butter, milk, fruits, etc, that they
would have to pay high prices for if
they lived in town, or Go without them

More Facts About ohinch Bugs

An extensive stock dealer informs the
st. Louis Rnral World that in his re-
cent travels he has seen much of the
ravages of the ohinch bng, and that the
following is the best way to destroy
them: When they first appear, as they
usually do, on the side of the corn field,
and before they have entered it. out five
or six rows of the corn and clear the
ground then plow strip of land eight
or ten feet wide, leaving deep dead
furrow, and tho trap is complete. When
the bugs approach the field, they will
pass in under the corn placed across
the dead furrow, and preferring the
shade and moisture, remain there until
the stalks become perfectly dry, when
they can be put through process of
cremation that will prove effectual in
destroying them. Should they first up.

it not unfrequently happens they do),
they can be surrounded on the forego
ing plan and destroyed in the same way.

German Musical invasion Of France

Sutherland Edwards, in his recent
book on "The Germans in France. !"
tells the following pleasant anecdote of
the armed propagation of the Wagner
idea: "The morning after my arrival
In Rouen, WAS awakened by the sound
of such music as under ordinary circum-
stances would never have been heard in
France. A selection from Lohenprin'
was being played by the band of an
East Prussian regiment just in front of
the hotel. Here, then, was conquest
symbolized in music. Nothing but n
successful invasion could have brought
Richard Wagner to the native city of
Boildieu; beneath whose statue the un-
familial sounds were, at that moment.
being produced. The sarcasm, however.
met with very little notice from the in.
habitants. Street-b boys, whose curiority
and love of novelty are stronger every-
where than their patriotism, held the
music-sheets for their enemies; but the
adult passer-by paid no more attention
to the doubtful strains than did the or.
chestra dog that had dragged the big
drum after him, from somewhere near
Konigsburg, to the capitol of Nor
mandy, and who now, likeadog that,hnd
seen the world, lay down on the pave
ment, and calmly slept without once
disturbing the general effect of the
music by tho unexpected rinforzando
OF a .snore.. 1t was freezing hard, and
the brass instruments, pinched 10y the
cold, were terribly hoarse. What. how
ever, was the frost to East Prussians?-
one of whom, when o shivering French
man complained that the thermometer
marked ten degrees below freezing
point. is said to have replied TEN de-
grees? Why, in East Prussia, at ten
degrees, it thaws.'"

THE LOUISIANA Jockey CLUB.
THE MEETING NEXT WEEK.

1t is most gratifying to chronicle that the COM
ing fall meeting of the Louisiana Jockey Club.
which begins on Tuesday, December 1st, promises
to be the most successful in its features OF any
held since the days when The old Metairie was
the resort of the leading tu1pen of the land. 1t
has been the laudable objectTf the Louisiana club
to render their meetings in all essentials, the
equal Of those held at the most fayorite resorts
in some OF our Northern States, and to that end
nothing that could be encompassed by liberia
expenditures and judicious management, has
been left undone
The track has been placed in the most perfect
condition, and Is regarded rs faster than 1t la .
ever been, hence, at the approaching meeting.
among the large number Of horses entered there
are DOT few that may make q record very low
down among the forties.
There are at present in the stables at the
course forty animals, and to this number Will be
added fully twenty, to arrive this evening from
when the city will be filed with numerous Wis
itors, i'll consequence of the grand Masonic cere-
monies which take rlace next week, the attend
ance will certainly exceed that Of any previous
year, and it the weather is propitious there will
daily be witnessed al assemblage of many thou
sand eager spectators.
For the special guidance OF non-residents, it
is herewith mentioned that invitation badges can
be had onls at tho Office, No. Ii Carondeiet
street. As will be seen by reference to the adj
vertisement, members are notified to call at the
said Office, and obtain their badges.
For the benefit OF those whu may afford the
luxury OF buggy or carriage, it wonld be well
for them to know that the Mystery treeJ Gate
will not be open during this meeting. re.
membrance OF this fact may prevent annoyance.

THE TESTIMONIAL TO THE KNIGHTS
:. TE@PI,AR.

We chronicled on Sunday last the gratifying
fact that the members Of the Louisiana Jockey
Club, with the iberality and courtesy for which
they have ever been distinguished, had offered a
handsome testimonial to the best drilled Com
mandery Of Knights Templar. We are more
than gratified to learn that the Club have, in
pursuance Of their idea OF making the visit Of
the Knights Templar to New Orleans q memo
rable occasion, invited Generals Emory and
Floyd Jones. of the United States army,
and Generals Beauregard, Hood and Glib
son, of the late Confederate army, to
award the testimonial. All Of these distin-
guished gentlemen have consented to serve, and
the occasion will therefore be one Of no ordinary
significance. The serving OF the Generals, who
were opposed to each other in war, upon this
most emlnently peaceful committee, will be proof
conclusive that all sectional bitterness has been
buried, and that those who were the first in war,
when war was necessary, are now the first to join
hands in manly fashion when wars rude alarms
are passed and peace has spread her wings
over the land. To our mind nothing has trans
PRED since the war which is more calculated to
inspire kindly sentiments among people OF al

by partizan press.
The testimonial we have not seen as yet, but
