FRIDAY, Nav 1.-Mr. Washburn, the
The Cremation of Shelley.

Mrs. Shelley, in her pathetic story of
that sad voyage on the Tuscan sea, bit
terly laments the tyranny of the Tus-
can red-tape, by which alone she was
deprived of the satisfaction of looking
once more on the face of her dead.
"The remains of those we lost" saws
she, 'fwere cast on shore, but by the
quarantine laws of the coast we were
not permitted to have possession of
them, the law with respect to every
thing cast on land by the sea being
that such should be burned to prevent
the possibility of any remnant bring
ing the plague into Italy, and no rep
reservations could alter the law. At
length, through the kind and unwearied
exertions of Mr.. Mawkins, our charge
d'affaires at Florence, we gained per-
mission to receive the ashes after the
bodies were consumed. :" The crema-
ton of Shelley cannot be usefully
cited, therefore, in the pending contro-
versv at all. 1t was neither hygienic
necessity" nor Sentimental piece
of organism. 1t was simply triumph
of routine and red-tape over humanity
and courtesy, and that in peculiarly
fragrant case, for the unfortunate boat
in which Shelley persisted with his
friend was bringing them simply from
the Tuscan port of Leghorn to the
Tuscan port of Spezza, so that it was
quite impossible it should bring into
Tuscany any plague not already exist
ing there

4" ILL Weeds Grow Apace. ;"

The Registrar General for Ireland, in
his report submitting the agricultural
statistics for 1873, says that although
great improvement in the breeds and
value of every description of farm stock
has taken place in Ireland since 1841, a
corresponding improvement has not
taken place in the cultivation OF land.
Inca,culable injury arises from The I'M
checked growth of weeds, permitted i'll
almost every part of the country, on the
sides of roads, railways and canals
Lord Lurgan, referring to the great
mischief done by weeds in Ireland, re-
Gently, suggested revival of the old
Scotch law, declaring any one to be a
=" traitor who poisoned the Queen S land
with weeds" For their own sakes the
Irish would do well to make an effort to
eXtlrpate their weeds. And so say we
all of us.

A correspondent of the Baptist Union

A correspondent of the Baptist Union
says
In the autumn after moving into the
country, | bought ten light Brahma
hens and one cock. / also bought for
settlers two large common hens. They
began to lay early and we kept an
accurate account of eggs from the
Brahmas till they had laid one hundred
dozen. We raised one hundred and
sixty-seven chickens-very fine and
large. Some of these J. sold for So a
trio. We killed and dressed for home
use large number. Indeed to raise to
sell was no part of our plan. 1t was
merely a domestic arrangement.
never saw chickens grow SO finely from
the time they were Matched. Their feed
was corn meal mixed with small por-
ton of wheat bran, and sprinkled with
cayenne pepper III moderate quantity.
they had also access to a trough flied
with milk, and sometimes they had
scraps from the soap-bOilers. ! have
raised chickens of various breeds. and
i have come to the conclusion that.
take them all In all, the Brahmas are
superior to any other race of hens.
They are good especially to cross with
our common hens, giving weight of car
cass and strength of constitution good
for layers and unsurpassed for the
table.

Robert COllyer's Anvil.
From Harper's Magazine for May.

Once upon time a gentleman drew
up his horse near a smithy in a York
shire village. On entering it he kindly
arrested the attention of the boy who
seemed to be absorbed in the work of
blowing the bellows. Closer observa-
ton revealed the presence of book -
It's pages kept open by two bits of iron
placed on Il shelf near the lads head
Each time he brought down the bel
lows or released it he seemed to catch a
sentence from the book
A generation passed away. The little
village had grown to be brilliant town
Low matched houses had made their
way before fine mansions, and the
smithy III which the above incident
was observed was drawing near to its
day of disappearance. But before that
day arrived another gentleman appear
ed at the door, and inspected with
some interest an anvil standing III the
centre of the shop.
Chow long has that anvil been here 2"
he asked OF the blacksmith
"Why," said the workman, cit must
have been 80 or 40 years"
"Well," said the gentleman, 81 will
give you twice as much for that anvil as
will buy you a new one. ;"
Certainly, replied the puzzled
smith; but l would like to know what
you want with this anvil"
q will tell you. There was formally
an apprentice in this shop who used to
work on it. That boy has now become
great man. Thousands love and
honor him as a friend and teacher, and
[ wish to carry back this anvil as a
memorial of the humble beginning of
his life "

Washington.

THE ways and means commit ee are still at
work on the Sanborn investigation. One \.
Goodrich Fay was examined on April 81. He
had contemplated for years going abroad to
educate his children. He mentioned this to
Sanhorn, who said while he was abroad he
could attend to some important business for
the government as well as to his own private
affairs. He was accordingly appointed a
treasury agent.
II is now said that an investigation is neces-
sary and will be made into the manner of
printing the currency notes.
Asst SECRETARY SAWYER protests against
the proposition III the investigation cases to
examine employees of the treasury department
IthCut first applying to the secretary, the de-
partment always being ready to give proper
facilities for that purpose.
AS to the course of the opponents of the
Veto it is said they viii postpone their address to
the country until after veto is taken on the
Senate bill and veto message. 1t is possible
that they may entirely reconsider their pur-
pose to issue an address. The infationists say
that they do not desire to have any accrimo-
NOUS debate on tbs motion to pass the bill
over the veto.
The House committee on appropriations
have agreed to report and recommend the pas
sage of a bill appropriating $4,000 to enable
the secretary of war to carry out the provisions
of Morey's bill for purchase of supplies of
food to be issued to persons suffering from the

placed further off than ever by the veto of the

as discussion over those previously introduced

Bill i, the sheriff of our county,

prosperous Teutonc merchant of our

the cars, and in order to pass away the
time, engaged in n game of euchre
After playing some time, the Jolly
Dutchman left his seat to get drink
of water, and Bill, knowing that he,
too, had penchant for poker, took adj
vantage OF his absence and dealt him a
hand with four kings in it, and turned
up the queen for trump. Returning
in moment and lifting his hand, S.
at once conceived the brilliant idea of
playing the hand at poker, and accord
ingly suggested it to Bill, who consent
ed, provided that he might be allowed
to discard one of his cards and take up
the queen To this S. at once agreed,
and the game proceeded. Says S. :

turn Bill raised him ten dollars more.
"Well, said s., ''fifteen dollars will

four kings, and reaching for the money
"Hold on" says Bill, q have four

astonished Dutchman gathered the
cards and shuffied them for moment
or two. Then, with his chin resting on
both clenched hands, and his eyes
staring into uncertainty, he exclaimed:
I" I say Blu, joost you told me vot de

And up to this hour his mind is per
picked continually to find the part that
card had played in the game.

Useful InypntiOn.

At last an invention has been made
and patented which it seems surprising
has never before been attempted, and
that is to arrange all wagons, buggies,
carriages, ETC., in such manner that
by the least pressure of the foot the
horses can be unhitched from the car
rage and the wheels stopped. Every
vehicle drawn by animals ought to be
constructed on this method. The next
thing IS to invent some lighter and
more easily drawn sort of wagon than
the cumbersome continuance now used
and which is of itself sufficient to test
the full endurance of pair of average
horses.
