Ancient Druias in Kentucky.

A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier ournal writes:
An archaeological discovery that
promises to be of high interest to the
curious was made short while ago by
party of gentlemen from Cincinnati,
who had been sent as a committee of
the Board of Trade to investigate the
feasibility OF route for railroad
through our Kentucky mountains. The
discovery was made in Fleming county,
about six and half miles from Elem
ingsburg, near the turnpike road lead
ing from that place to Fox Springs.
Under ledge of sandstone and par
TALLY buried, they came upon thirteen
sandstone bowls or basins, eighteen
inches Or more in depth, and all aver
age of six feet in diameter. They are
neatly fashioned and finished with a
considerable degree of taste. Each
was supplied with cone shaped
cover, fitted to it with great nicely,
aid bore evidence of once hav-
ing been sealed. These vessels, which
when found were neSr!!yy all in perfect
condition, were arrangedina mathemat-
ical circle, the distance between them
being about seven feet. The gentlemen
who examined them seemed to be of the
opinion, from their general shape, and
from the fact that each had a narrow
outlet at the side, that they may have
been used for some horrid Druidical
rite by the race who vanished ages ago,
and left the surrounding hills and plains
a wild and untenanted solitude. With
characteristic impudence, they made
immediate preparation to remove them
to the chambers of the Historical Soci-
ETY. at Cincinnati, but the gentleman on
whose land they were found fortunately
had the good sense to forbid the remov
al, and consequently they have remain
ed undisturbed.

Eggs as Diet.

On this subject the Poultry Review
mas the following pertinent and sueges-
tive remarks: s'Would it not be wise
to substitute more eggs for meat in our
daily diet ? About one-third of an egg
is solid nutriment. This is more than
can be said of meat. There are no bones
or tough pieces, that have to be laid
aside. A good egg is made up of 10
parts shell, 80 parts white, and 80 parts
yolk. The while of an egg contains So
per cent. water, the yolk Of an egg 50
per cent. The average of an egg is
about two ounces. Practically an egg
is animal food, and yet there is none of
the disagreeable work of the butcher
necessary to obtain it. The vegetarians
OF England use eggs freely, and many
of these mer are 80 and 80 years
old and have, been remarka
bly, free from illness. Eggs are best
when cooked four minutes. This takes
away the animal taste, that is offensive
to some, but does not so harden the
white or yolk as to make them hard to
digest. An egg. If cooked very hard, is
difficult OF digestion, except by those
with stout stomachs. Such eggs should
be eaten with bread and masticated very
finely. An egg spread on toast is food
fit for king-if kings deserve better
than anybody else, which is doubtful.
Fried eggs are less wholesome than
boiled ones. An egg dropped in hot
water Is not only clean and wholesome
but delicious morsel. Most people
spoil their eggs by adding pepper and
salt. A little sweet butter is the best
dressing. Eggs contain much phos-
phorus, which is supposed to be useful
to those who use their brains much.

A Clever RuSe.

A story is told of Lespes, the French
Journalist, better known as "Timothy

he was disagreeably intruded upon by
creditor, who announced his inten

Lespes beheld him with consterna-

against events. Several hours glided

began carefully blocking all the

preparations for lighting a char

match, pasted on the wall, just opposite
the creditors eyes, paper thus lncon-
ically worded: "Take notice that we

planted with potatoes. The products
of each acre were as follows:
Potatoes treated with barn-yard ma
nure:
One acre produced 272 bushels.
One acre produced 292 bushels.
Potatoes MANFRED from covered
sheds:
One acre produced 442 bushels.
One acre produced All bushels.
The next year the land was sown with
wheat, when the crop was as follows:
Wheat on land treated with barn
yard manure:
One acre produced 4S bushels, 10
pounds (of 81 pounds per bushel.)
One acre produced AZ bushels, 30

The straw also yielded one-third more
upon the land fertilized with the man
ure from the covered stalls, than upon
that to which the ordinary manure was
applied.

Goodness Towards Won BuIOW.
Boston CORRESPONDENCE Daily Granhic

bOstOu correspondence Daily Graphic.
Speaking of musical people suggests
the disgust that the upper ten of the
musical critics feel and evince with the
GOODNESS of the reception which is &C
corded to Won Bulow. Some of them
declare that it is because they are afraid
to endorse him until New York has led
the way, which is sheer nonsense in the
way of reason or criticism; the more so
as Boston is generally little jealously
contemptuous Of what she has rather
imprudently in the psst called the
bourgeoise taste of New Workers. The
fact in the matter is just this, that Won
Bulow does not reach the heart of his
playing, because he himself does not
evince either intensity or passion in
his performance. His remarkable teoh-
aaique and his perfection of skill
In his touch are undoubted, as
also his executive ability and
conscientious rendering, but he does
not display, if he feels it, sufficient
emotion to produce it in others. Then
his selections are in directions where
our American public, even the music
ally cultivated, are, to say the least. un-
trained. This, and this alone, would
make an audience little slow of appre-
citation. But when taken with the first
lack it is not strange, but entirely nat
ural and commendable, that the Bos-
tonians should not go into ecstacies be-
cause two or three autocrats, who have
two or three not exactly music-loving
reasons for becoming partisans, blow a
sounding trumpet in the beginning to
announce that this is the coming
Gabriel, the wonder OF the world. Ven
Bulow is unquestionably a master in
his way. but that way is as an artist
where skill and all the results of me-
chanlcal study are made supreme. He
is not master of the emotions.

Value of Covered Manure.

When rough sheds have been built
to cover the manure heap, the crops
fertilized by this pile have been in
creased In productiveness sufficient to
pay for the shed covering the first year.
We have never seen any exact figures
of the proportionate value of covered
and uncovered manures, that we re-
member, until the following. which we
find by Lord Kincajd, a Scotch land
owner and farmer. They present the
best statement possible, we think of the
advantages of the plan:
Four acres of good soil were meas
ured; two of them were MANFRED with
ordinary barn.yard manure, and two
with an equal quantity of manure from
the covered shed. The whole was

Cut the pumpkins through laterally,
clean the inside; then continue to cut
in the direction as before, rings about
half an inch thick. Cut off the rind and
hang the rings on pole in the sun or
warm room to dry. When dry it will
keep year. It is to be boiled in plenty
of water until tender, then skinned out
and prepared for pies, the same as an
dried pumpkins.
Another way: Take the ripe pump
kins, p&re, cut into small pieces, stew
soft, II ash and strain through a colan-
der, 40 if for making pies. Spread this
pulp on plates, in layers not quite an
inch thick; dry it in the stove oven,
which is kept at so low a temperature
as not to scorch it. In about day it
will become dry and crisp. The sheets
TINS made can be slowed in dry place,
and they are always ready for use for
pies and sauces. The quick drying
after cooking prevents any portion from
slightly souring. as is nearly always the
case when the unoooked pieces are
dried, the flavor is much better pre-
served, and the after cooking is saved.
Io use: Soak pieces over night in a
little milk, and they will return to a
nice pulp as delicious as the fresh
pumpkin.

Origin of the Water-Cure.

The water cure, or hydrOpathy, owes
its origin to the fertility of invention of
a Silesian peasant, Vincenz Priessnitx.
Having at the age of thirteen sprained
his wrist, young Priessnitz mtuitigely
applied it to the pump; and afterward,
to continue the relief thus obtained, he
bound upon it an a1nasc1tl0s, or wet
bandage. Revealing this az it became
dry, he reduced the inflammation, but
excited rash on the surface of the
part. Soon after, having crushed
his thumb, he again applied the
bandage and the pain once more sub
sided, but the rash reappeared. He
inferred that the rash indicated an i'm
pure blood; and this conclusion was
strengthened by the result of expert
ments which he was induced to try
upon injuries and ulcers in the case of
some of his neighbors, since the rash
in some instances appeared after the
treatment, and In others did not. Thus
he was led to frame for himself q
Immoral pathology of all diseases, and
a doctrine of the elimination OF NOR
bific matters by s'crisis." According
to this view, the cure of diseases is to
be effected by favoring the activity of
those organs through which the purif-
cation of the system is carried on,
and, through regulated and pure
dietary and correct regimen, preventing
further morbid accumulations. In his
nineteenth year, being run over by
cart, Priessnitz had some ribs broke,
and received severe bruises; On learn
ing that the doctors pronounced his
case hopeless, he tore off their banda
ges, and recovered under the renewed
application of the a1naschlag, and re-
placed the ribs initiating the lungs while
pressing the abdomen against window
sill. This incident confirmed the idea
and initiated the practice of the water

So On the 18th of September Lieutenant
General Petersen, a veteran of the wars
against the First Napoleon, died at
Novgorod in his ninety-second year.
He gained his epaulettes under Suvaroff
in Italy, took part in nearly all the
battles against Napoleon in Russia and
Germany, and distinguished himself at
Eylau (where he got the Prussian
Golden Cross, of which he was probably
the last wearer), at Borodino and at
Leipzig. Another man who was great
~ respected in Russia died in ST..
Petersburg on the 2Sth of September.
This was Mr.. Jacob Heard, an Eng
ishman by birth, who, at TIE age of
twenty settled in Russia ifty-six years
ago, at the invitation of the I'm
perial Chancellor, Count Rumientzoff,
for the purpose of Introducing the
Lancaster system of teaching" in the
empire Mr.. Heard was the founder of
all the Lancaster schools in Russia and
the author of numnerless Russian
school books; he translated the "Vicar
of Wakefield y into the Russian Ian
guage anc wrote several Russian novels
which are still a good deal read. He
was also good water-color painter, and
devoted himself entirely to that art in
his latter years.

ST. LOUIS BIG HOTEL.
Bnildingl With Two Thousand Rooms.
From the St. Louis Republican, Oct 80.

Bndld1ngI With Two Thousand Rooms.
From the st. Louis Republican, Oct 80.
Some weeks ago the Republican made
made mention that movement was on
foot having in contemplation the cree
ton In this city of a hotel to be the
largest in the world, and that some
Boston capitalists were at the bottom of
the enterprise. The Republican is now
enabled to state that the negotiation has
been concluded for the grounds, the
agent Of the parties having placed his
signature to the fnal papers yesterday.
The hotel grounds will be located on
the old homestead property belonging
to Daniel Il. Garrison, situated on the
southeast corner Of Grand and Page
avenues, and covering A. arpents-
about acres Of ground. The NAM
moth structure to be erected on this
ground will be called the "HoteI
Grande." It will have a frontage on
Page avenue of 400 feet, and on Grand
avenue of 300 feet, the space occupied
covering 100000 square feet, being of
much larger extent than the San Fran
cisco hotel, considered the largest in
the world, which covers only $4,000
square feet. The next largest hotel in
the world is the Grande Hotel of Paris,
which has 96 rooms more than Sharon
& Ralston's, Of San Francisco.
The st. Louis structure will contain
1900 rooms, as originally contemplated,
but, owing to the fact that the ground
area will have length of 100 feet
more than at first proposed, in oonse
quepce OF the additional space acquired,
the height will not have as many
stories as originally designed. There
will be elegant facades on each of the
four sides, but the grand entrance will
be on Page avenue.
The interior court will have q dimen-
sion of $50 by $50 feet. In the centre
of the court will be splendid fountain,
with four smaller fountains on the
corners, and the rest of the space will
consist of a conservatory embracing
exotic and native plants. The plans
and specifications are in the hands of
the architect, and when full elaborated
a description more in detail will be
given.
The parties having the control of the
matter propose to get in readiness to
begin the erection of this mammoth
hotel in the spring, and it is expected to
have it completed so as to be opened
or guests by September l, 1877.

Liberal Nianurin4.

There is profound philosophy in the
remark Of the English nobleman who
asked his tenant what made a certain
spot in the field grow SO much stronger
and better grain than the rest. "That, F"
said the farmer, "that is muck mid
den " that is, q place where manure
has been piled. "And why" asked the
nobleman, "why don't you make the
whole field muck hidden? p The
point of the story lies in the fact that
it has always been considered practical
~ impossible to obtain enough manure
to obtain the best results on all land.
Farmers nave been compelled to use
manure spa1ingly in order to make it
extend over their fields as far as posi-
BILE, and ever when they have failed in
part and only MANFRED one-third to
one-fourth Of their titled land. The re-
suit has been that much of the labor
employed has been on the poor crops,
when it might, by the use of fertilizers,
have been on good. We believe in
purchasing manure from the stable
whenever it can be had, and if not
then such commercial fertilizers as ex-
perience proves to be valuable. It is
very rare that the difference between a
good crop and poor one will not pay
the expense of buying manures to make
the crop. If it will not pay, the prob
abilities are that nothing the former can
do will pay, and he had better sell out
and quit the business. Itdoes not need
a great quantity or heavy outlay in con-
centrated fertilizers to secure a large
crop. In. the experiment of Mr.. Lawes,
in England, an average crop of 49,
bushels of barley has been grown more
then twenty years in succession by the
use of 200 pounds of super-phosphate
and ammoniacal salts yearly. The ay-
erage crop is as good as where fourteen
loads per acre of rich stable manure
were used. There is double advan-
tage in growing these large crops. They
cost less per bushel, and if the soil is
rightly managed otherwise, it is con-
stantly increasing in fertility and value.
