A Ton of Dead Cinnamon.

The average American contemplates
in stupid bewilderment the tenacious
faith OF the disciples Of Coufucius in the
religious necessity that wherever death
may oyertake them their dust must be
sent back to the Flowery Kingdom to
rest in the bosom Of Mother Earth.
Possibly, it is silly superstition, but
o~ur"heathen Chinee' fellow beings live
up TO it ever so much more consistently
that we live up to our fuperstitions.
The OriAamme, from Portland, q few
days ago, brought down over a ton Of
the mortal remains Of M~ongolians who
had shuffied off their coils in Oregan.
This queer cargo is 10 be reshipped
from this port to China. The fact that
50 thrifty apeople as the Chinese should
incur the great expense they do for
such a purpose, proves the strong hold
which the custom has upon them. The
mere preparation Of the bodies 10 be
shipped costs S2j each and when the
expenses Of packing, freight, reship-
nent, etc, is added, it must amount
to about as much as an industrious Chi.
naman, living upon the most economical
principles, a save in a year,-Sqa

From the Shadow of the GuilIotipe.

One Of the most remarkable escapes
ever made was made by NJ. de Chateau
brun during the Reign Of Terror in Par.
is. He was sent to execution with
twenty other prisoners but after the
fifteenth head had fallen the guilloline
got out Of order, and a workman was
sent for to repair it. The six remaining
victims were left standing in front Of
the machine with their hands tied be.
hind them. A French crowd is verv
curious, and the people kept pressing
forward to see the man arranging the
guillotine. By degrees NJ. de Chateau
brun, who was to the rear of his COM
panions, found himself in the front line
of the spectators, then in the second.
and finally we'll behind those who had
come to see his head cut off. Before
the man could get the guillotine in
working order night began to fall, and
N. de Chateaubrun slipped away.
When in the Champs Elysees he told a
man that a wag had tied his hands and
robbed him Of his hat, and this simple
individual cut him free. A few DAYS
later M. de Chateaubrun escaped from
France,

Milk and Potatoes.

Prof. Jas. T. W. Johnston SAYS :
every forty gallons Of milk carried of
the farm contains Il pound Of bone
earth. Estimating the average yield
of a good COW at 80 gallons a year, this
milk will contain 10 pounds Of earthly
phosphate, or as much as is present in
30 pounds OF bone dust. and the urine
contains about II pounds Of the SANE
phosphates. Suppose that only a third
of this runs to waste, there will be a
loss equal to about six poun5s of bone
aust. But by Mr.. Q1incy's arr. nge-
ment the urine Is saved by being ab-
sorbed by the peat muck. According
to Prof. Johnston's statements it will
be seen that there are annually carried
off in the milk from Mr.. Quincy's 100
COWS, phosphates equivalent to 5000
pounds Of bone dust. But if the cream
of the 100 cows milk was made into
butter, and the buttermilk and skim
milk were fed to swine, and they were
supplied with muck or good loan suf-
hcient to absorb the urine, all loss from
the phosphates of 100 COWS would be
what was contained in the bones of the
hogs.
Butter-mhkers in New York increase
the yield of grass without purchasing
any bone earth, as none leaves the farm
in butter. But Mr.. Quincy sells milk
in Boston, and requires 5000 pounds Of
bone dust to compensate for that sold
III milk in twelve months.
DR.. Jas. r. Nichols tells us in one of
his lectures, that ga field OF potatoes
yielding 300 bushels TO the acre removes
from the soil, in tubers and tops, at
least 400 pounds of potash also, that
it will remove $50 pounds of phospho-
rlc acid. A potato field which gives but
100 bushels to the acre, requires at least
$50 pounds of potash but allowing the
tops to decay upon the field, 60 pounds
are restored to the soil again, as that
amount is contained in them"
Every farmer should know that il al
ways takes something to make some
thing and that one element cannot be
changed into another.

A steamboat in q Tornado.

A New Orleans paper Of a recent
date describes a disaster in the follow
ing vivid style con the 10th instant
as the well-known and splendid steam
boat Natchez was coming down thu
river. and while opposite the lower %
of Natchez Island, some twenty f.,
this side of the city of that sooo,,5
was struck by a TERRIBLE "b;n,Uors
the Louisiana side, WI all the stapc5-
had wrenched he6ff the steam mines
from their sock'into a wreck on the
lons loose,m the right side, which,
and thEy with their weight, broke
uppll with a terrible crash on the
ger deck, whence it was tumbled into
the river. The officers in charge. even
though the tornado struck without n
moments warning, rushed to their
POSTS, and clearing the wreck, the
pilots stood by the wheel and urged
her on to the island. The scene was
terrible in the extreme: the river was
one mass of yellow foam, the sky was
as black as night, and the wind of such
terrific violence that no man could
stand against it. In this emergency all
rested on the skill and determination Of
the officers and pilots. The position Of
these latter was one of great danger.
Elevated in a frail pilot-house a hun
dred feet above the river, with its sup.
ports gone, its stanchions smashed and
trembling in every timber, as if it would
follow the chimneys, they expected
every moment to be hurled into eternity
The smoke and escaping steam rushed
through the upper decks almost smotL-
ering the pilots and inducing them to
believe the steamer was on fire. Not a
man Of them moved, but, clinging to
the wheel with all their strength for
twenty minutes, they kept her to the
wind, and RAINING under the shelter Of
the island, the steamer was safe. Til,
storm subsidized as fast as it had risen,
and, backing ont, the steamer coutin-
ued on her way down the river"

The Flood In Arkansas,

The Arkansas valley is overlooked IN
to Arkansas Post $15, 900 will probably
cover the damages there. From the
mouth of the Arkansas down is whore
the greatest damage resulted, and where
restitution exists among all classes, but
particularly laborers and their families.
Large portions of the Tallahatchie and
Yellobusha bottoms have been over.
flowed for some time, but at the latest
accounts the water was subsiding. There
is another crevasse at Catfish Point,
making the fourth in that vicinity, and
yet but few plantations have been in
jured. Sunio Eer river has carried of
the main portion Of the water escaping
through the Hushpuckana crevasse, end
the Deer creek plantations have not suf-
fered materially. But from Milliken's
Bend, twenty-five miles above Vicks-
burg. is where the greatest damage has
Deen done, and where the greatest des-
titution and suffering prevails.
