1t will be remembered by our readers
that early last fall protractcd meeting
wa. held at Worthwhile by Revs Mr..
Chaplin, of Ripley, and Mrs Dawson. OF
the former place. During this meeting
Mrs. u. related story OF u certain fam
lily composed of father, mother and an
only child. She started that they had
attended protracted meeting and resist
cd all appeals to reverse their conduct
in life, and becomes followers of the
prccepts of holy writ. The moti'ei
soon after became raviny maniac and
died in that condition. Mrs. u. said
that there might, and probably would
be, similar case at that place, 'bnt nicn-
toned no names. A Mrs. George Tav-
lar, CT Worthwhile, took these words as
direct application TO herself and family,
there being only three in the family.
The result was that she became insane,
was sent to an asylum IN Utica, and
there died. Her remains were brought
home and deposited in the burylns
ground al Nashville. She was "a. TN

The lIrds.

We are glad TO see that a move is be-
ing made in Kansas to introduce the
English sparrow into that State. OF all
birds the sparrow is the most destruct-
i've to insects and the most prolific. The
barbarous habit of Americans in killing
insect-ea,ing birds has been as destruct-
i've to the interest Of the farmer and
fruit-grower, as these ornaments to the
groves and gardens themselves. The pre-
tense that they destroy fruit whenripc is
the verlest sha-, for flock of birds will
protect more fruit and grain in season
than a thousand times their number can
destroy-whi,e q little care tor few
DAYS Oby;ates even that Inconvenience.
The trees in the New York parks were
for years dcnadcd of their foliage by in
sects, and it became at last necessity
to devise some means OF their protection
or submit to their destruction entirely
Somebody suggested the sparrow, and
some other body had sense enough to
adopt the suggestion. The result is thai
the insects are gone, ard the New York
er now enjoys the luxnriant shade OF ih'
parks in The hot weather, at the same
time watching the eccentricIties and ih;b
its of the sober colorcd birds, which
makes the trees and grass piats cheerful
with the most attractive form Of animal
life. We want sparrows in Kansas and
in Kansas City, also.-kdnsas Cay

Reporting Extraordinary.

Queer things happen in newspaper
offices. Recently "a brother journalist
in a suburban town, with Il tlourishiHs
weekly on his hands, was obliged 10
send a young and inexperienced iepor-
ter TO gathering where there was some
wine, many pretty women, and song
or two. The reporter had some hour
or two in which te write up his account,
and he asked our editorial friend wha;
he would say about the music. ''Oh,
,ras the reply, "say Miss b sang with
tenderness, Miss G played with briIlian-
cy, Mr.. y sang with fire, and something
of that sort, and make few compari-
sons, you know" That reporter was
discharged the very next morning. A
portion of the netice read as follows +:
Miss b sang very tenderly, rs tender
as young spring lamb with mint sauce,
Get /; "Mis- played as brilliant as a bunch
of tirecrackers on a dark night, or as
brilliant as a meteoric shower" Get /;
"Mr. Y sang with SO much fire that ii
burned up three sheets OF music, and Sc,

The Now York O6serrer being re
ligious paper, may be appropriately
heard on the question treated below.
1t says: The time has gone by for dull!
preachers. The activities of the aye,
the diffusion of knowledge by schools,
books, and periodicals, the spirit of in
quiry, the spread of infidelity, the pre-
valeace of doubt, the subtlety OF false
science demand live, strong earnest,
capable men TO preach the Gospel. Ii
will not answer to educate dizziness or
mediocrity. 1t was forbidden that .
son of Aaron should be 4 priest if he had
any blcmish. Even a fiat nose exclud-
ed him. And the age wants no half
baked ministers. The West will not
hear them. The East can not bear
them. The healthier knows too much
10 take them. they are not wanted Ii"
this earth. To get money TO educate
dull boys because they are pious. is roo
bing ard a fraud upon the Church. Ii Is
q crime or a blunder,o or sometimes both.

At this season, when buckwheat cakes
constitute part of almost every break
fast, tho announcement that the syrup
whcrewith we have been wont to bap-
tie them is delusive adulieration,
cannot but produce dissmay. A New
York grand jury, after listening to the
testimony OF reputable experts, has made
prescntment against the eugar retners
and syrup manufacturers. 1t appears
that the golden drips the most priced
are the most adul,pra,ed, and that what
wo have believed to be the quiDtessence
If saccharine matter Is, after all, COM
bination of salt of iron, muriate of tin,
glucose, corn starch, sulphuric acid, and
sugar. In fact, it has been limited that
i our iron ore supply should fall short
iaaa, blast furnaces could then use mo-
.asses in its s,erd; and that if our tin
mines ahould fail we could supply the
deficiency by boiling down our most de-
iic;ous straw-colored syrups. Much of
the agitation has arisen by reason of o
lady dropping a little syrup into a cup
of tea, which Immediately became IS
black as ink. She thought an at;emp;
was being made to poison her, and
straightway complained. l, appeared
that her alarm was caused by the manu-
facturcr having added little more OF
the salts Of iron than usual in that par
,icular lot Of syrup. These deleierious
substances, which are used 10 improve
the appearance Of the article sold, are
injurious to the system and can be easily
detected. Tho sugar and syrup eating
community of New York are demanding
that the offending makers OF these spur
i,us sweets shall be prosecuted. II you
doubt tho purity of syrup have it
analyzed by the nearest chemist.
The Saline County journal. [volume] (Salina, Kan.) 1871-1893, 1874-02-19

There is much difficulty experienced,
eays an Eastern journal in obtaining the
kind of food in farming communities
which every one knows would be most
wholesomc, and as the same time most
desirable as relish, and to support the
heavy taxation upon the systems OF
iaboring men. Variety is not all that
is necessary. Salt meats are easily pro-
vidcd the year round mot SO fresh meats.
The general practice is to gorge upon
fresh meats tnring the first half OF the
winner, and starvc upon salt meats the
rest of the year, with rare exceptions.
This does not apply near villages, where
farmers are wcli-to-dO, and have fresh
meats from the butchers cart once or
twice a week; nor necessarily where
farms are large enough TO employ
number of mon. The large farms could
have fat sheep and calf now and then
during the summer, without difficulty. But
Ia the small farmers, OF which our pop
ulation is largely composed, 1t IS too
expensive to 60 to the butcher; and a
sheep cannot be kept until eaten in
warm weather. In some localities the
practice prevails of exchanging
killing sheep or calf one week, and
another the next, and SO on. This, or
for an owner of sheep to kill often, and
scll to his neighbors at slight advance
from cost, is very convenient TO all To-
calities, and some suggestion to remedy
tho difficulty woaId be appreciated. AS
10 fresh vegetables, their absence from
any farmers table is rather neglect
then a necessity. Any farmer can win
ter rutabagas, bee;s, carrots parsnips,
onions, green peas, and apples without
expense, and the housekeeper can put
Nh few cans o. tomatoes, cherries,
curran,s, etc, ETC., with but little laber,
n she properly seconded by the 'ioid OF
the manor" Early Vegetables are as
simple to possesses as can 10 wished.
Spinach or kalc for greens may be
sown it September, and covered slightly
during winter, and be ready in April or
Nav. Onions can be sown tho same
way. Lettase and cabbage plants can
be sown in september and set in cold
frame in November and produce heads
in June. Radishes can be sOwn in March,
and early PEAS and potatoes p'aa'ed.
