In a fit Of desperation. President MacMahon
has taken into his own hands tho work of
forming Ministry in France. The marks of
his handcraft which we have in the Ministry
announced to-day, are such as we might ex
pcct from a military character which prefers
decision of purpose TO the slower processes of
political negotiations. Yesterday afternoon, he
resolved to form Cabinet himself, and before
midnight his work was finished. With due
regard to the fitness of things, he has placed
a general in the War Department, man who
has dabbled in diplomacy In the Foreign
Office, an old financer in the Finance De-
partment, an engineer in the Department of
Public Works, and pocmcal writer in the
Department of Public Instruction. If the
others were not almost entirely unknown, it
is very probable that some particular evidence
Of adaptability could be mentioned to show
why they were assigned to their respective
positions But the very difficult problem OF
securing the support of majority OF the AS
sembly, the President, strangely enough.
seems to have regarded as of secondary i'm
portance. There has been no effort to con-
ciliate any of the Republicans, or even the
Extreme Right. The President has not gone
beyond the two factions of the moderate Right
and Right Center in search of Ministers. Gen.
de Cissey, whom he has made Vlce-PreSident
of the Council, is probably Bonapartst, and
had made himself so unpopular by his SYM
pathics with Bazaine, that he was Obliged to
leave the Ministry not very long ago. The
Ministry shows no sign of stability, and with
the first storm in tho Assembly it may topple

Where to spend the Summer Is just now
the uppermost thought with thousands of
families and what are the respective attrac-
lions of the various watering places and the
more quiet country resorts is precisely the
information they want. THB TRIBUNE
means, within the next few days, to
supply it as fully as possible, and 1T fur
nishes this morning the most complete detailed
and systematic account of the various points
along the south coast of Long Island and the
Jersey coast that has yet been anywhere pre-
scented. On the third and fourth pages of The
TRIBUNE we print just the compact and trust
worthy information which pleasure-seekers do
most desire.

A Ton of Dead Cinnamon.

The average American contemplates
in stupid bewilderment the tenacious
faith of the disciples of Confucius in the
religious necessity that wherever death
may overtake them their dust must be
sent back to the Flowery Kingdom to
rest in the bosom of Mother Earth.
Possibly, it is a silly superstition, but
ouri' 'heathen Ohinee" fellow-beings live
up to 1T ever so much more consistently
that we live mp to our superstitions.
The Orifamme, from Portland, a few
days ago, brought down over a ton of
the mortal remains of Mongolians who
had shufied off their coils in Oregan.
This aqueer cargo is to be reshipped
from this port to China. The fact that
SO thrifty people as the Chinese should
incur the great expense they do for
such purpose, proves the strong hold
which the custom has upon them. The
mere preparation of the bodies to be
shipped costs $25 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, can save in year.-Saga

Milk and Potatoes.


Prof. Jas. r. w. Johnston says ::
Every forty gallons of milk carried off
the farm contains one pound of bone
earth. Estimating the average yield
OF good COW at $50 gallons year, this
milk viii 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 same
phosphates. Suppose that only a third
OF this runs to waste, there will be a
loss equal to about six pounds of bone
dust. But by Mr. Quincy's arr nge-
ment the urine is saved by being alb
e sorbed by the peat muck. According
to Prof. JohnstOn's statements it Will
be seen that there are annually carried
Oil 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-
hclent to absorb the urine, all loss from
the phosphates of 100 COWS would be
what was confirmed in the bones of the
hogs.
Butter-makers 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 g, 900 pounds of
bone dust to compensate for that sold
In 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
1t will remove 80 pounds of phospho-
rio 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, so pounds
are restored to the soil again, as that
amount is contained in them"
Every farmer should know that it al
ways takes something to make some
thing; and that one element cannot be
changed into another.

From the Shadow of the GuiIIOtine.

One of the most remarkable escapes
over 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 guilloiine
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 very
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
panlons, 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 guiIIotine in

individual cut him free A few DAYS

A Steamboat in a Tornado.

A New Orleans paper of q recent
date describes disaster IN the follow
ing vivid style son the 18th instant,
as the well-known and splendid steam
boat Natchez was coming down the
river, and while opposite the lower end
of Natchez Island, some twenty miles
this side of the city of that name, she
was struck by terrible tornado from
the Louisiana side, which in a second
had wrenched her immense chimneys
from their sockets, broken all the stanch-
Ions loose, cut short off the steam pipes,
and thrown them into a wreck on the
upper deck on the right side, which,
giving way with their weight, broke
and fell with a terrible crash on the
lower deck, whence it was tumbled into
the river. The officers in charge, even
though the tornado struck without a
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 smoth-
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 fo1
twenty minutes, they kept her to the
wind, and running under the shelter OF
the island, the steamer was safe. The
storm subsidized as fast as it had risen,
and. backing out, the steamer contin-
ued on her way down the river"

The Flood in Arkansas.

The Arkansas valley is overlooked M
to Arkansas Post $15, 600 will probably
cover the damages there. From the
mouth of the Arkansas down is where
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 creyasse at Catfish Point,
making the fourth in that vicinity, ana
yet but few plantations have been in
jured. Sunfo yer river has carried of
the main portion of the water escaping
through the Hushpuekana crevasso, and
the Deer creek plantations have not suf-
Tered 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-
ntution and suffering prevails.

The Registered Letter business.

On the first of January the postmas-
ter general reduced the rate Tor regis
tered letters from fifteen cents and the
regular postage to eight cents and the
postage. Since that time the business
has increased over one hundred per
cent, the average increase in large
cities being from fifty to sew nty-fiye
per cent. The present rates compare
very favorably With those of England,
although there are many difficulties in
this country not to be met with in the
smaller and more thickly populated
countries of the Old World. The last
annual reports show that in Canada
the loss in registered letters and pack
ages was 112, in Great Britain 90, and
in the United States 400. IF the in
crease of business continue through
out the year, five million registered
letters will be sent, against two and
half millions last year.

IT WAS an ancient custom of the Spar
tans, In order to inculcate among their
youth an abhoronce Of intemperance
and its kindred vices, to make their
slaves drunk with wine In the public
market places, so that the rising gener-
alton, upon whom would some day de-
volve the honor and safety of the Lace
denonian Republic, might see before
them all the CHASTITY details of the
drunkald's disgrace, his loss of reason,
and of physical strength. 'Twere well,
perhaps, today, could some of our
young men contemplate a similar in
structive lesson drawn from the life,
showing them, by a sharply drawn con-
trast, the advantages and true lowell
ness of abstinence and virtue.
