A Disadvantage of Large Farms.

In ordinary business the more man
can do the better he can systematic that
If the business be merchandising-the

larger his purchases the cheaper he can
buy, the cheaper he can get the goods
moved and the lower he can sell them

So, too, with manufacturing any one
kind of goods. The more mandatory
under one good head has to do, the cheap
er the manufactured goods can be turned
out 1t costs less in proportion to run a
steam power for 10000 spindles, for in
stance, than for 1000. The machinery
for large factory costs less in proportion
than the machinery for small one. In
the purchase and collecting together of
the raw material for the supply of an ex-
tensivc mandatory of any kind the adj
vantage is always in favor of the one who
buys more extensively. The reason is
that in merchandising and manufacturing
the business is of such a character that,
however much may be done, it can be
kept compact and in the hand of the man.

the less closely can be applied the rules Of

men and teams are fed three times day
and from which must be distributed all

This point on the farm Is generally the
farmhouse. r. y .a.,..fl
Now, on farm of 100 acres, the time
spent in going out to and returning from
work three times a day is considerable
but when you increase that farm from 16(
acres to one hundred times that size
say 10000 acres-and still keep but ont

unnecessary travel that must be performed
to get the men and teams spread over til,

impose. Look at the time lost by thu
number of men necessary to do the labol
on such farm, in going to and returning

Weeds as Water Purifiers.

1t is pleasant, if only for the sake of
weeds, as Mr. J. J. Mechi does in the fol-
lowing communication to the London
Agricultural Gazette: a.
Into my pond runs a stream of twenty
five gallons per minute of pure water from
a drain which cut twelve feet deep some
thirtyodd years ago. Weeds will grow
and thrive in this pond and we have an
nually to rake out large quantities of
them. They look very beautiful as they
grow in the pellucid water, which is used
for household purposes. Said visitor to
me one day, eff you had pair of swans
your pond would be free of weeds;" so a
kind friend presented me with pair, and
very soon they cleared the pond, pulling
the weeds up by the roots and feeding on
them. My family were delighted with
the graceful swans and the removal of
weedy distractions to boating ;butalthough
the pond was free of weeds the water was
no longer pure and pellucid, but most de-
cidedly muddy in taste, and when the
steam issued from the kettle the smell of
mud was unmistakable. Well, no one
thought it could be the swans, but at last
came to that conclusion, and, despite fam
lily and other circumstances, returned them
to their original owner. After a short
period the weeds reappeared, and, as they
increased in bulk, the water gradually as
sumed its pellucidity and purity, and
Richard was himself again. What the
weeds do for the water and its occupants
the land vegetation does for the air; men,
animals and other living creatures
poison it, while vegetation absorbs the in
furious gases, and reconverts them into
wholesome food and fuel for man and
beast, filling the atmosphere with that
precious oxygen without which men and
animals and other living creatures could
no longer exist. So it is in the vast ocean,
whose living occupants and vegetation
probably exceed in quantity that which is
on land. We owe to the river vegetation
much of the purify of water. 1t is the ex-
cess of impurities from our towns which
are beyond its powers of appropriation.

After the Verdict.

THE following account is given of the
reception of the verdict of "Not guilty"
by one Maybridge in his trial for the
murder of Harry Larkyns, in California,
recently; AT the sound of the last mo-
mentous words convulsive gasp es'
capped the prisoners lips and he sank for
ward from his chair The mental and
nervous tension that had sustained him
for days of uncertain fate was removed
in an instant and he became as helpless
as a new born babe. Mr.. Pendegast
caught him in his arms and thus pre-
vented him from falling to the floor, but
his body was limp as wet cloth His
emotion became convulsive and frightful.
His eyes were CLASSY, his jaws set and
his face livid. The veins of his hands
and forehead swelled out like whipcnrd.
BE moaned and wept convulsively, but
uttered no word of pain or rejoicing.
Such display OF overpowering emo.
tiOns has seldom, if ever, been witnessed
| in a court OF justice. The tioodgates of
feeling seemed suddenly TO have been
| lifted and the long pent-up torrent of
emotion to have burst upon the man,
sweeping all before il. he rocked to and
fro in his chqir. His face was absolutely
borrifying in its contortions as convul-
sion succeeded convulsion. The Judge
discharged the jury and hastily left the
courtroom, unable to bear the sight, and
IL became necessary TO recall him subse-
quently TO finish the proceedings. The
Clerk hid his face in his handkerchief,
while the proscuti = alto. ney and some
Of the jurors hurried away TO avoti the
spect acle. Others gathered around to
calm the prisoner, and all Of them were
moved to tears"

isieheads tap the floor, and yet third
time they are required to knock and
knock.
"The professor, while they are still on
their hands and knees, now commands
them to begin their lamentations; :
whereupon these adult, rational beings
continue to moan and to weep in whim-
pering, subdued tone of voice. This
having been kept up for minute or so,
all are ordered TO stop their crying,
rise up and disperse from their
places, which by this time they seem
not unwilling to do. Thus ends the
ceremony of three bowings and nine
knockings.' The funniest thing con-
nected with the whole business Is that
until the Emperor's death is officially
announced from Pekin nobody is sup.
posed to be sorry. A steamer commonly
brings the news down TO a province long
before the Governors official dispatch
arrives, and thus, though the Emperor's
demise is perfectly we'll known, every
body surprisingly commands his feelings
and goes about his business as usual.
1t is only when the Governor sends forth
his public announcement that the land
is convulsed with sudden and universal
sorrow. Happy is the monarch whom
the people delight to honor"

Mourning for the Emperor Of China.

THE London Weekly Dispatch has the
following; 1.-THE Emperor OF China being
dead, all his subjects, according to their
rank, will be required to mourn his de-
cease. On the proclamation of the Gov
ernor of the province the Mandarins
under him not only put on mourning but
paint out the decorations on their house
walls and wrap their sedan chairs in
black cloth. The common people have
to shave their heads and also to perform
certain ceremonies prescribed especially
for them; but as for the Mandarins and
loose gentry, on a second proclamation
from the Governor of the province, they
meet together en- certain appointed day
in particular temple to "lift up their
lamentations" for the departed monarch
whom most of these mourners never
once beheld. The mode of their proceed
ing is in this wise; The Mandarins, gen
try and others entitled to take part in
the ceremonial having mustered inside
the temple, slowly and silently take uE
each one the position prescribed fol
him according to HE rank on a raised
platform previously prepared. This
done, professor of ceremony appears
upon the scene. Everything being ready

calls out in q commanding tone: Knee

The Black Hills.
SIOUX CITY, iowa, Feb. 81

SIOUX CITY, iowa, Feb, "a.
A Sioux CITY Journal special from
Yankton says: "Eph. Witcher, a well
known citizen OF Sioux City, member of
a recent expedition to the Black Hills,
arrived in Yankton to-day. He reports
having left his companions at the stock
ade of the expedition, within two miles
of Harney's Peak, on Boxelder Creek,
on the Sd inst. Witcher says the expedi-
tion was composed of twenty-seven men
and one lady and her son. There were
six wagons, well armed, some mounted
and supplied with provisions and min
ingtools. The expedition left here Oct.
8, struck the Niobrara about 100 miles
above its mouth, followed the stream
some distance and then struck across the
country to point east of the Black Hills
on the Cheyenne River; met party of
200 mounted Indians and held peacea-
BILE parley with them. After reaching an
apparently passable pass at the foot OF
the Hills they struck into the mountains,
and, after picking their way, reached a
point within two miles of Harney's Peak
In fifteen days from the date of their en-
try into the Hills they erected stockade
eighty feet long and built log cabins
from an abundant supply of timber they
peded their prospecting. they
sunk twenty-five prospecting holes
and struck gold in every instance from
the grass to bedrock They found
numerous gold and silver bearing quartz
lodes, and specimens Mr.. Witcher has
brought back are pronounced very rich
The party never saw an Indian while II

| parts of the Hills they saw as haVinl
magnificent valleys, seemingly limitles
forests OF pine, and an abundance of elk
deer and other game. The greater por
tion of the return trip was made through
snow-drifts and over a trackless countr,
in the most stormy and severe weather
