A SECOND SAM PATCH-A JUMP OF
ONE HUNDRED FEET ON A WAGER. The
Cincinnati "Commercial,' July 7, says:
About three O'Clock yesterday afternoon
a boy named John Leasser, eighteen or
nineteen years old, a worker in a machine
shop on West Front street, jumped from
the Cincinnati and Covington suspension
bridge, Oh a wager Of $40 and the perform-
ance was carefully prepared for, skiffs hay
ing been provided and manned, to save the
foolish youth from drowning. There were
only few spectators, and the performance
was private, but Leasser climbed on one of
the rails, six feet above the floor of the
bridge, buttoned his coat and jumped. He
struck the water with his feet, disappeared
for few seconds and came to the surface
all right. He was picked up by one of the
skiffs and conveyed to the steamer Pat
Rogers. The distance from the rail to the
surface of the water, perpendicularly, is
103 feet. The wonder is that death did
not ensue from the conclusion or shock to
the system, produced by the sudden con-
tact. with the water from such a great
height.

KossUTH's Mayor Joseph
Medill, of Chicago, during his European
trip has spent some time in Austria, where
he made an extended examination of the
merits Of the cause which the Hungarian
patriot Kossuth led, and which he pleaded
so eloquently in the United States in 1851
81. Mr.. Medills conclusion is not COM
plimentary to the brilliant leader and ora
tor. He says: The whole thing was about
the same as if the Irish landlords should
revolt against Queen Victoria and under
take to set up another dynasty in the name
|of liberty, While not a word was uttered or
act done to better the condition of the mis-
cradle racllrent tenants who titled the soil
and lived in restitution, while the land
lords enjoyed the fruit of their toll and
self-denial. The whole thing was the
greatest imposition and fraud ever perpe-
trated upon the American people i'll the
name OF liberty. "-Neao York Tribune.

A Doc LAW THAT PAYs.-The dog law
for the county of Loudoun does not pre-
vent the dogs from killing sheep, but it
does the next best thing: The taxes that
are raised for the privilege of keeping dogs
are divided out and paid to those whose
sheep are killed and after satisfying this
demand, the overplus is put into the school
fund fund. The same law has recently
been applied by special legislation to the
counties of Frederick and Clark Its work
ing i'll Loudoun is best seen by the follow
ing statement from the Leesburg "Mir-
ror:" 90 ,702 dogs were assessed, whereof
113 were delinquent. The other 1859, at
rs cents each, paid 81, 676, expenses Off
Three hundred and seventy-siX sheep were
killed during the year, valued at $1,923.25
an average of $5.11 each, probably too
high. The losers were thus repaid 81 cents
in the dollar on valuation"

Poetry.
A VIGIL.

How late we sat that night in May :;
Or should say that morning?
For when quilted you, my sweet
The day was nearly dawning;
The dim east thrilled with light unborn
So soon t0break nights thrilling,
And in the newly -budded trees
heard the robins calling.
All they had slept while we had walked,
Our lovers vigil keeping
Through the long hours so short to us
And sweeter than all sleeping
And as we stood upon the porch
A moment IN sad seeming
Somehow I fell their little songs
Were telling Of their dreaming
We kissed, and then-ah then they knew
The secret of our parting,
That we were hurrying to our dreams
AS they from theirs were starting
But all the blither grew their songs, .,
Charged with the times dear essence,
A prophecy of happy dreams y
Made purple with Loves presence
All, happy morning happy night
Twin blossoms of the Maytime,
hold you fast till am done
With nighttime and with daytime.
And you, We warblers of the spring,
Count this among your blisses,
Your songs are sacred, since they bring
Remembrance of her Kisses

DISEASE OF HoGs.-For mango, chole-
IA and worms in hogs, the s'Planter and
Farmer gives the following method Of
treatment:
There are but three diseases requiring
treatment, which are mango, cholera and
worms in the kidneys, commonly called
breaking down in the loins. For mango,
wash we'll with I've soap and then pot liq-
uor. For cholera, if you l1aoW the dis
ease, as soon as you see the hog begin to
droop and try to vomlt, gag him, and give
him twenty grains of calomel made into
pill. If you have been in the habit of
giving your hogs spirits of turpentine, at
the rate of one table spoonful to the hog,
put it on corn, and you will be rarely
troubled with this fatal disease.
If the first dose of calomel does not re-
lieve in Ntwenty-four hours, repeat the
dose. | rarely have to repeat it if deliver
ed in time We sometimes see hogs drag
ging their hind legs. This is caused by
worms in the kidneys, and may be easily
cured by giving teaspoonful of turpen-
tine every morning for three Oh four days,
mixed with corn. Hogs which have been
feeding on acorns are most subject to this
disease, and should have the turpentine at
least once week while feeding on this
mast. Every hog feeder should keep
bottle of the spirits of turpentine, and
give it occasionally through the year; he
will find it of great benefit to his hogs.
| have practiced this for twenty years sue
cessfnlly. 1t seems to be a specific for all
hog diseases.

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURES ON THE
DREAMING OF MILK.-The results of Sc
ries of experiments carried on through
several months, by exposing different por-
lions of milk in pans to temperatures of
400, $40 and 74o, and determining the
amount of fatty matter still present after
various times of exposure, are embodied
in report by Schubert, from which it ap-
pears that the separation of fatty matter
from the milk was most rapid at 400, but
that it was more rapid at 74o than at SO,
the separation being more complete at 400
thirty hours. After twenty-four hours at
400, only Q, 296 per cent. of the fatty mat
ter remained in the milk, and while dimi-
mutton of it continued up to 30to So hours,
it was so slight as to have no practical i'm
portance. Tests made ON a large scale of
Schwartz's method of immersing the milk
In deep vessels in ice water, Showed thatit
produced the largest yield of butter for
equal measures Of milk, and also shat
sweet cream afforded more butter than
sour cream. The method possesses the adj
ditional advantage that the milk sours,
and can be preserved several days in the
ice water without the least injury, and will
bear transportation to considerable dis
lance before becoming warm enough to
change. Cheese made from it is also much
better and less liable to spoil in keeping
and since butter made from the sweet
cream contains less milk-sugar and casein,
according to the analysis made, it is conse-
quently less liable to become rancid.

How TO MANAGE POTATO BEETLES
Prof. Riley quotes the Prairie Farmer for
the following mode of managing these fell
lows, so as not to have to go over the
whole field with Paris green: He begins
at one end of his potato patch and scatters
finely pulveriZed air-Slacked lime over the
potatoes gradually for about ten rods
Lime will not kill them, but they do not
like it, so they go to the unlimed] part
The next day he drives them ten rods far
Their, and so on until he has them in mar
row space, and then he puts on the Paris
green strongly and finishes them. We
have some doubts whether this will be
found very much better than to apply the
Paris green at once over the whole, and
make short of it.

A CITY THAT GREW FAST AND DIED
| QUICKLY.-A correspondent of Boston
paper says: 'sIt is not only individuals who
have suddenly increased in prosperity and
as suddenly gone down into nothingness :;
there are cities Of which the same can be
said. Such q one is Pithole City, Pa
Within one month from the completion of
the first house this city had a telegraph of
lice and hotel, costing the owners $50, 900.
In one month more there was a daily pa
per established, and in the next theatre
in another month another theater, and
then an academy of music In six months
there were seventy-four hotels and board
lighthouses; in the seventh month the city
had reached its highest prosperity. 1t then
had about $4,000 inhabitants, elaborate
Water-works, a city hail. and all expensive
city government. Then occurred the COM
pletion of labor-saving enterprise, the So
called Miller Farm pipe line, by which the
petroleum was sent off independent of the
laboring population. At once 1000 persons
were thrown out of employment, while
1000 houses became useless. This was the
death-bloW to Pithole. AT once the hotels,
tie theatres and the telegraph office were
closed, and the daily paper gave up it's
ghost, whilst almost every one packed up
his trunk and moved out. Onlynine fami-
lies remain out of a population of $4,000
souls, while the railroad from Pithole and
Oleopolls runs only one train day, con-
ciC4 ~ 1oa
which usually is empty; but the company
Is Obliged to keep running, otherwise the
charter for the road would be lost. They
still hope against hope for better times for
that unfortunate city, which, in only seven
months, was born, full grown, got sick and
died. Undoubtedly this is case unparal-
leled in history, modern and ancient
Neither Egypt nor Greece can give exam
pies OF such rapid changes.

EFFECTS OF COMBINING POULTRY
Mr.. Chas. Selser gives statement to the
Bucks county (Pa.) "Intelligencer," sum
ming up the yield from his hens for the
month of March: "With sac head in COOP.
the average was 16 eggs to hen; with fve
head in coop, the average was 10 eggs to
the hen; with three head in coop. the
average was "a eggs to the hen. His first
pen allowed 81 square feet to each fowl:
the second, 10 2-5 square feet; and the
third, 178. 1t will be seen that the egg
production increased regularly as the rcom.'

report of the yield from White Leghorns
for the same time, and they, with about

There's a Sunbeam hidden in Every
CIoud.


There's a sunbeam hidden in every cloud
The herccst storm bath its ray Of light,
And sure a lull to the tempest loud,
As certain morning follows the night,
So truly will sorrow yield is place
A. Times resistless course speeds on,
And Joy again light the oare-worn face
or him who thought all his pleasures gone.
Mourner, look up from thy dream Of grief;
Man was not made for himself alone;
Life lie pilgrimage painful and brief
Soon may'st thou join the iov'd ones flown.
Hast thou not dear ones len behindi
Then let not thy spirit be wholly bowed:
OH bear this motto forever in mind -
There's a sunbeam hidden in every cloud"
And thou who art waging worldly strife,
Deem not thy troubles too hard to bear;
There thorns in the pathway Of every lite,
And toil-worn worker. thou hast Thy share;
But remember in dark dsappontment's hour,
When the voice Of surrow Is deep and loud
Aud the thought shall nerve your with power,
There's sunbeam hidden in every cloud
