Remarkable Wen.

Some well-borers near 0dell, Hi
nois, are profane enough to report
that they have tapped hell, and are
getting the full benefit OF the leak.
Gas discovered forty feet below the
surface, and at eighty feet a vein of
water was struck which spotted
two hundred feet in the air, carrying
up gravel as big as hens eggs, and
sending everybody flying hundreds Of
feet away. This performance eontih-
ued until the sand and gravel we're six
inches deep within q radious Of one
hundred feet of the hole. When the
Jet of water ceased, the aperture was
found much widened, with quieksand
at the bottom, and a stream Of gas had
taken the place of water. A match
was applied to it, and flames leaped
into the air producing a sound ike
thunder. The workmeu think they
have struck the gate Of the evil doom,
or brought fortha young volcano, they
don't know which. The gas they are
getting now causes blue color in the
vegetation for miles around, and pco-
pie are hocking from all quarters TO
see the strange phenomenon.

Every farmer wha has to fence his
land knows too well how quickly posts
planted in the earth become rotten,
especially in damp spot. All Of them
will welcome the following process to
prevent rottenness, process as won
derful in its effects as it il simple and
almost costless. 1t is taken from LIE
Biiea PaJkc," of Dion, France:
Take linseed oil, boil it. and mix it
with charcoal dust unit! the mixture
has the consistency Of ordinary paint.
Give to the posts a single coat OF the
mixture or paint before planting them
and no farmer, even living to the age
of patriarehs Of old. win live loug
enough to see the same posts rotten
Some years ago | discovered the
way of rendering wood more durable
in earth than iron itself says the
author of the Communication, hat it
seemed to me so simple. and 80 mex.
pensiye, that did not think it worth
while to make much ado and fuss bout
IT Posts of soft wood thus prepared
were removed after remaining seven
years In the earth, aud were found rs
sound as when they we're planted.
The only precaution to take is to use
only well dried posts before covering
them with the charcoal paint"
The above recipe is certainly cheap.
and seems to be well worth the trial. If
what is said of the efficiency of that
simple and cheap (sbout &c per post)
process be only half true. certainly IL
would save yearly millions Of dollars
70 the farmers and telegraph companies.
For it is said that the farmer, even in
ms teens, who will plant posts having
received a coat Of this Perpetuity Pos;
Paint, will never live long enough to
lee the same posts rotten.

The Demand Of the South.

Among the many needs Of the South,
chief Of all, towering above all, over
shadowing all, is the need for live men.
men Of energy, men Of action. men Of
brains; above al, men Of high integ-
rity. In all times there Is need for
such men. There is always work for
them to do, but in times such as the
present, when people come to pass the
Southern people have reached, there
is an imperative need for great leaders.
Notparty leaders, not leaders of armies,
but leaders of industry, men Of FORE
sight and capacity, who have the wis
dom to see the right road TO prosper
ity, and the will to win their way TO It,
Give US such leaders and the future of
the south is assured. Material pros
perity will soon return, and with il
political freedom. For il is 9 truth
attested by all history that political
freedom is inseparable from national
prosperity. Give the one, the other is
sure 70 follow. There is no lack Of
latent wealth in the South. Indeed,
one main source of her present troables
is the ease with which wealth was ac-
eumulated in times past. Il only wants
live men to develop it. To gather il
together. We want men of enter
prise, who have courage to undertake
great works, and the capacity to carry
out the undertakings. Nashville
needs such men to handle the wealth
that is locked up in ruinous bonds.
Memphis needs; nay, every town needs
them, the whole country needs them.
They are wanted vn every farm. Will
the want be met? Where is the need
to be supplied? Are the men growing
up? These are vital questions for the
entire South.-NashUsile Rssral San.

The body of Lady Dixie, who died

Gently invented for burial purposes by
Herr Siemens, and the relatives of the
deceased lady permitting strangers to
be present, large number of scien-
ti6c men attended the experiment.
When the company had complied with
Herr Siemens' request to offer up q
mental prayer, the coffin was placed
in the chamber of the furnace six
minutes later the coffin burst; Eve
minutes more and the flesh began to
melt away; ten minutes more and the
skeleton was laid bare; another ten
minutes and the bones began to crum-
bic. Seventy-6ve minutes after the
introduction Of the coffin into the fur
mace, all that remained of Lady Dixie
and the coffin were six pounds Of dust
placed in an urn. The brother-in-law
Of the deceased was present"
