A Humiliation for the VicerOy.

The cold Indians in London are
saying, apropos of the failure of the
Commission in India to convict the
gulkwar of Baroda, that a worse blund-
er than usual has been made. and that
the fast-waning prestige of the British
conquerers of India has suffered seri-
Gus blow. To the great mass of ma
tives In India, whose excitement during
the trial has been intense, the facts
seem as follows: The English wished to
find pretext for dethroning the native
ruler of one of the greatest provinces of
the empire; they got up false accusa-
ton against him; their representative
pretended that an attempt to poison
him had been made, and he
hired number of servants to
swear that the guikwar had bribed them
to poison their master; an arbitrary ar
rest Of the guikwar was ordered, and he
was brought to trial; but there his enc
mics broke down, and while the Eng
Hsh members of the commission, for
very shame's sake, wished to return a
verdict of ''not proven" the native
members declared that the innocence of
the accused was established beyond
dispute. If the English authorities in
India mad seized the guikwar, executed
him, and tried him afterward, they
would have carried their point, and
their prestige would have been strength
ened rather than weakened. But to at
tempt, and then to fail, is only to bring
contempt upon the government; and
contempt is the feeling with which the
British government in India is now
most generally regarded.

Close Of the Career of a Tennessee
DeSDeradO.

Advices from Somerville, Tenn, state
that Oscar Burton was killed by a
young man named Thos. n. Doyle, his
former roommate, who had been sum-
moned before the grand jury, and ques-
toned as to Burton's carrying arms, as
were two others. After testifying Doyle
told Burton what he had done, and
offered to pay his fine. Burton told
him he would not shoot an unarmed
man, but warned him he would shoot
him the next time he saw him. On
Monday morning Doyle started from
the store to his breakfast, and, in pass
ing Burton's boarding house saw the
latter come out and put his hand into
his bosom. Doyle returned to the
store and armed himself with shot
gun and revolver, and soon saw Burton
crossing the street towards the store,
and fired the contents of both barrels
into his body. Burton fell, and DOYLE
fred twice more with the revolver, but
Burton was already dead. Burton was
about Is years OF age, and, in addition
to the two Riveses, whom he killed last
August, he killed man nearly three
years since. Burton's father was killed
in rencontre' before the war. Doyle
was arrested and held for examination.

Borer Preventive.

Geo. W. Shaw furnishes the follow

Ion thick sorghum. Mix, and add one
gallon Of rain water, with one pound of
copperas dissolved in it. Bring this to

too thin, sift in lime, or, better, sulphur.
Clean the dirt from the tree, to the
depth of two inches, remove the borer,
and then apply the mixture to the tree,
trom the ground up, eight or nine
inches. This should be done in the
month of June, for the borer eggs,
though, If earlier, it causes the tree to
make better growth Mr. Shaw does
not state the use of adding the sorghum,
and, unless the wash is applied to more
OF the trunk, it hardly seems worth
while to add SO many ingredients, such
as lime, sulphur, and copperas, whose
chief value is to DESTROY fungold
growths. But he says he has applied
it fifteen years, with good success. He

Setting Crafts.

When once understood, "grafting
is as easy as falling off a log. Still the
conditions must be carefully tended to
if success is to be achieved. Stocks, or
limbs to be grated, not over two inches
in diameter, should be cut off at the
distance of four inches. A fine saw
should be used. Incline the saw so
that the stump will shed the rain. The
bark must be uninjured. With sharp
knife smooth off the stump. Take q
case knife, which is as good as any,
place it across the heart of the stock,
and force it down with wooden NAL
ct. We use very narrow screw driver
or keeping open the split. Shape
he scion wedge-fashion both
ways, keeping the bark intact.
We make shoulder as far up as the
scion is shaved; it is not so strong, but
ins1lres growth. The inside of the bark
of both scion and stock must meet
across. Set the scion at slight angle
spreading from each other. When the
stock is small and only one scion insert
ed, place piece of wood on the oppo-
site side. If the slit does not close up,
tie round a cotton string to keep it
tight upon the graft. Cover with wax
every part of the cut wood and slit. In
three weeks time go over the gratis and
re-wax if needed. It is air and rain
getting in that destroy. Where the limb
to be grated is from two to four inches
over, it should be cut say six inches from
the tree, and from four to six scions
may be inserted. -Ge,maantoaU,a Iele-

Oil NIOal for Calves.

In answer to GA Subscriber" W.
W. Aldrich, Elyria, Ohio, has this to
say about oil meal, in the Ohio Far
mer:
A subscriber wants to know if oil
meal is good for calves. and how it is
fed. | answer it is good, and will state
how mine are fed, AMI how cared for
until one year old. have three apart
ments for calves, each about fifteen feet
square, with rack and manager on one
side for feeding hay and meal. I let
them run loose; and keep them well
bedded In the summer with sawdust,
and In the winter with wheat or oat
straw. I have twenty-four stalls for
tying up COWS, which are so arranged
that by sliding small door the calves
are turned in with their mothers twice
a day, and help themselves to all the
good, rich, new milk they want. This
is continued until they are four months
old. I commence feeding meal as soon
as they will begin to lick it, which is
when they are from two to three weeks
old: their feed is corn and oats ground
together-one-th third oats-and when we
take a grist of wheat to mill, the bran is
mixed with the corn and oats, which
makes lighter and better feed for
calves than clear meal, and is not so
apt to make them sour.
To sum up the feed it amounts to this
corn, oats, bran, and little oil meal
mixed In, just to make their coats shine,
and their skin mellow and pliable. I
feed nice bright clover hay and when
grass is large enough to cut. have a
small patch handy to the barn, and feed
green, a little and often; keep them in
the barn until one year old, after that
turn them out into good pasture, and
they will take care of themselves. But
don't stop here; keep an eye on them,
see that they have their salt and plenty
OF water and shade. If you don't be-
heve this treatment will make good
calves, just take look into nv calf
stables and be convinced.

The Five Great Exhibitions.

The London Times says. ''The
great exhibition of 1851, held in
London, was opened on the LIST of May,
and remained open for payment for al
days. The number of visitors was 6,

Of 1859, at Paris, was opened on the
18th Of May, aud remained open 200
days, Sundays included. The number
of visitors was 5, 162;33O, and G128, OO9
were received for admissions. The in
ternational exhibition of 1862, in Lon
don, was opened on the 1st of May, and
remained open III days. The number
of visitors was CPL, 1O3, and 94O8, $50
were received for admissions. The ex-
position universalle of 1867, at Paris,
was opened on the LIST Of April, and re-
manned open 217 days, Sundays includ-
ed. The number of visitors was no less
than 8,805, $50, and 942O, 735 were re-
ceived for admissions. The universal
exhibition of 1873, at Vienna, was open
ed on the LIST Of May, and remained
open 1856 days, Sundays included. The
number Of visitors was 6,740,5OO, and
9206, 478 were received for admissions.
Thus the total number of visitors at the
five great international exhibitions was
80, $50, OCT, greater number than the
entire population of the United King
dom enumerated at the census of 1871,
and G1, 588, 564 were received for ad-
missions. The progress medal, as it
was termed at Vienna, for the greatest
number of visitors in one day, belongs
to the exposition universalle of Paris in
1868, when 173, 1923 persons passed
through the turnstiles or Sunday, the
9th of October. The Vienna exhibi-
tons was a good second, with 1876, 674
on the closing day, Sunday, the End of
November; Paris in 1866 comes next
with 123,017, on Sunday, the 9th of
September. Then comes the London
great exhibition of 1851 with what was
then thought the extraordinary number
of 1898 on Tuesday, the 7th OF
October, four days before the close;
and, lastly, London in 1862 with 1891
on Thursday, the Goth of October.
We wait now for the great exposition at
Philadelphia in 1876"

Rec Poison.

Nh. G. Walker gives an interesting
account in the British Bee Journal of a
series of experiments on incubation by
bee poison. The method of procedure
was to permit bee to sting him on the
wrist, care being taken to obtain the
largest amount Of poison. On the first
day, this operation was performed
twice. The effect was a very severe SUI
perfcial erysipelas, with the ordinary
symptoms of inflammation. After a
few days, these symptoms having dis
appeared, he caused the insects to sting
him three times in quick secession.
Though the erysipelatous inflammation
was not SO severe, a singing sensation
extended up to the shoulder, and an en-
largement of the Emphatic glands in
the neck showed that the poison had
been absorbed into the system. A few
days afterwards he again received three
stings, which were attended by symp-
toms of less intensity. After the TWEEN
tieth sting there was only a slight itch
ing sensation for short time in the im-
mediate vicinity of the wound, and the
effects of the incubation seemed to be
satisfactory.

Heavy Corn Crop.

The Practical Farmer thus notices the
corn-feld of Alexander Scott, at Della
ware County, Penn. Ninety bushels to
the acre Of shelled corn is a common
crop on this farm, which will no doubt
be exceeded this year, as it is variously
estimated by different persons at from
100 to 100 bushels per acre. This field
OF thirteen acres was managed as in 9TH
er seasons, tough green grass sod OF
about ten years standing being first
plowed down to the depth of from six to
eight inches. On the upturned surface
fifty bushels of lime was spread, and
700 pounds Of bone to the acre. The
soil being naturally of the best quality, it
Is difficult to conceive of more appro-
pirate pabulum for heavy corn crop.
The corn crop was planted AKA, and
when we saw it it was of a rich, dark
green color, uniform in size, many
stalks having two ears on. When this
eorn-feld is husked and gathered, we
shall give the results to our readers.

Grease the Nails.

One Of the technical journals says:
Every farmer who has had occasion to
drive nail into seasoned oak posts
knows it's liability to bend and break.
II the point be moistened in the mouth,
it viii usually drive more kindly. Oil
is still better, but then it is inconveni-
ent to dip each nail separately into it.
Another point observed is that boards
become loose eventually by the rusting
of the halls, which, communicating to
the wood, causes not only an enlarge
ment of the nail hole, but the wearing
away of the nail itself, rendering the
fence or the building shaky and inse-
cure. This may be prevented by heat
ing any rough grease until it smokes,
and then pouring it over the nails to be
used. The grease viii penetrate the
pores of the iron and cause the nails to
last, without rusting, an indefinite pc
Rod. Besides this, no trouble will then
be experienced in driving them into the
hardest woed. The reason is that the
coating of grease prevents contact of
air, and, consequently, oxidation. Oxy-
gen is the great destroyer of iron, and
moisture is the Inducing cause.

WRITTEN FOR TEB CELEBRATION BY JOHN G..
WHITTIER.
No maddening thirst for blood had they,
No battle-joy was theirs, who set
Against the alien bayonet
Their homespun breasts in that old day.
Their feet had troddeu peaceful ways
They loved not strife, they dreaded pain:
They saw not what to us is plain,
That God would make mans wrath his praise.
No seers were they, but simple meR
It's vast results the future hid;
The meaning of the work they did
Was strange and dark and doubtful then.
swift as the summons came they left
The pillow mid-furrow standing still,
The half Tound corn-grist in the mill.
The spade in earth, the axe IN cleft.
They went where duty seemed to call,
They scarcely asked the reason why:
They only knew they could but die,
And death was not the worst of all.
OF man for man the sacrifice,
Unstained by blood save theirs, they gave.
The flowers that blossomed from their grave
Have sown themselves beneath all skies.
Their death shot shook the feudal tower,
And shatterd slavery's chain as we'll;
On the sky's DOME as on a bell.
Its echo struck the worlds great hour.
That fateful echo that is not dumb;
The nations listening to it's sound
Wait, from century's underground
The holier of triumphs yet to come
The bridal time of Law and Love,
The gladness of the worlds release,
When war-sick, at the feet of Peace
The hawk shall nest with the dovei-
The golden age Of brotherhood
Unknown to other rivalries
Than of the mild humsnIties.
And gracious interchange of good.
When closer strand shall lean to strand,
Till meet, beneath saluting flags,
The eagle of our mountain crsgs,
The lion of our Motherland!
