Patrons or Husbandry.

The National Patrons of Husbandry
has just closed its annual session at
Louisville, Ky. A correspondent, writ
ing in regard to the meeting, gives some
interesting statistics of the order, as fol-
lows:
At present, in the order, there is
total of AZ State and Territorial Oranges,
and more than "a, 900 sub-granges, COM
prising a membership of about ], 450, 900
persons. This is an increase of 1900
oranges, and in the neighborhood of
1870, 900 members, over 1874. The work
of the order in the future will consist
more in consolidating and strengthening
those oranges already in existence than
in organizing new ones, inasmuch as the
territory in this country is pretty well
covered. The following is list of the
number of oranges in each State in 1875,
as copied from the official reports

Walking and Gravity.

A considerable part of the fatigue OF
walking, even on a LeUet road, is due to
the fact that at every step the body has
to be raised, and let dO,On again grddu-
ally Ii. e., without shock, the latter
process being, probably, with many of
us, the more fatiguing of the two. Were
gravity much diminished, we should take
far fewer steps per mile, and therefore
escape a great part of the fatigue of
walking, for with no increased exertion
at each step we should virtually become
projectiles, spending the greater portion
of our time in describing low trajectories
in the air. But the rate of motion of
our legs would have to be greatly altered,
as the time-interval between successive
steps would be much increased. We
should be able to jump much higher,
and much further than we now can,
though Gas Sir j. Herschel has well
pointed OUT we should suffer no greater
shock on reaching the ground than we
now do. We should, however, have to
guard carefully against giving ourselves
any motion of rotation, since this might,
from the long duration of n step, lead to
our landing head foremost, unless, indeed,
we had the power (Which a well-known
physician has shown to be possessed by
CATS of so altering our moment OF iner-
tia, and consequently our rate of rotation,
as to set matters right in the interval,
In fact, the other conditions remaining
the same, the length and height of a
Jump, as well as the time occupied in it.
would all three be increased in exactly
the same proportion as that in which
gravity is diminished. Thus, if there
was no gravity at all we should have sed-
ulously to avoid all pressure against the
ground, as its inevitable result would be
to project us hopelessly into space unless
we were moored or fastened in some way
to the surface. But such speculations
are mere curiosities, as the most impor-
tant consideration resulting from great
diminution of gravity would be so ex-
cessive rarefaction of the atmosphere as
to present insuperable physiological bar
riers to the continuance of ife.-Prof.

Wilson and Brooks.

On the Odd of May. 1856, Charles
Sumner was assaulted in the Senate
Chamber by p. S. Brooks, of South Caro-
lima. Next morning Henry Wilson de-
nounced the assault on Mr.. Sumner as
brutal, murderous and cowardly. F"
Mr.. Brooks challenged him, and Mr..
Wilson dispatched the following answer:

A japanese Spree.

The Yokohama (Japan) Herald relates
q remarkable occurrence, which shows
that some of the japanese have an ex-
traordinary capacity for withstanding
the effects of fiery rotations. An Osaka
man offered a prize to any one who would
drink one shO-one quart, one pint, and
one-half gill-of a certain native liquor
about as strong as spirits of wine. A
coolie performed the feat, but died the
same day from the effects of it. They
buried him in a shallow grave, and about
midnight the next day the earth absorbed
the liquor from his well-soaked body,
and he woke up from his debauch.
Pushing off the light soil that covered
him, he rose from his grave in white
shroud, and startled some robbers near
by who were counting and dividing their
money. They took the strange appari-
ton for ghost, and ran off in dismay.
The coolie picked up the cash and re-
ported to his wife the same night, a
sadder but richer man than he was be-
fore his spree.

Races and Stimulants.

Broadly speaking, the Western Mo-
hammedan nations adhere to coffee,
while the extreme East-including not
merely China, but Japan, Thibet, and
Tartary-remains faithful to tea. Choco-
late is the drink of Central and cocoa of
Southern America. The Polish peasant
whose climate does not lend itself to
wine growing, as do those of his neigh
bors of Hungary and Wallachia, and
who has not the Russian moujik's liking
for brick tea, or for the sour beer called
quass sis scarcely cognizant of any bev-
erage save fiery corn brandy. The con-
sumption of beer throughout the Flem-
ish-speaking provinces of Belgium is
very great, but SO soon as we mingle
with race whose language is the Wal
loon dialect of old French, we find beer
gives place to gin. The cider-drinking
districts of Normandy and Brittany are
surrounded by belt of country in which
the people set small store by the apple
wine, SO dear to the jewellers on the
coast

Youthful PrecOcity.

An English country gentleman had a
small son who, having been early taken
about the stables and the kennels and
initiated into their secrets, had become
quite baby expert in all matters per-
tanning thereto, and quite ready to give
his opinion as to n horse or litter of
pups with as much serious certainty as
though, instead of being child, he were
an old and hardened sportsman and fan
cier. The country gentleman had the
good fortune to be presented with twin
daughters by his wife, and the boy, after
his usual round amorg the animals, was
taken to see these little creatures as they
Law in their cradle. The child looked
at them gravely, pulled their legs,
pinched their arms, opened their eye
lids, and, after moment of reflection.

A Blamed Monopoly.

An honest old Granger recently ap-
preached the affable young man who
adorns the general delivery window of
the Postoffice at Atlanta, and asked
els there any letter for the Griggses
here 2"
The young man shuffled through the
"G's" deck and said
"No, sir :"
"Any for the Stebbiness ?"
The young man counted the rs" deck
and said
"No, sir !"
"Well, any for the Bunces 2" and the
old man put on his specks to see for
himself.
The young man famed the Obs" out,
and again said
"No, sir !"
"Then, dang it, young man, is there
any letters for the Middlebrookses 3"
and the old man emptied some peanut
shells out of his pocket to make room
for the letters.
The young man slung the "M's ="
faster than tramp printer in a country
newspaper shop, and YEARLY said
"No, sir 70
"Then, who in thunder is all them
thar letters and pigeon-holes fur, any
how, by gum ?" ripped out the indignant
old man and before the young man
had time to reply, the old Granger was
shutting down the street, swearing that
''this here Postoffice is blamed mer
nopoly, like everything else these days!"

Proposed Reunion Of Federal and Con.
federate Soldiers.

A movement is on foot in Philadelphia
to assemble large number of the sol
diers of the late war in that city, at some
time during the centennial year. 1t is
proposed to have both the Northern and
Southern armies represented by their
leading Generals and by thousands of
their rank and file from every State in
the Union, the purpose being to show to
the world the fact that the men who were
in arms against each other, few years
ago, are now united in celebrating the
Tooth birthday of their country, and are
inspired by the spirit of patriotism And
feeling Of common nationality.

was found in his barn on Sunday morn
ing, and the deadly instrument was found
by his side. A week or two since his
wife filed petition for divorce in the
Wayne Circuit Court, and this troubled
him greatly, and was undoubtedly the
cause OF his suicidal act. About a week
ago he commenced calling upon his
creditors and paying them what little he
was indebted to them, and to each he
said he desired to get his affairs all in
good shape, as he expected that he would
not be able to enjoy his property great
while. They supposed he had reference
solely to the prospective divorce from
his wife, and did not for moment sup.
pose he Designed killing himself.

word-rather than immoral; moral
idiot, rather than moral maniac. The
moral sense was simply wanting and in
his life, as in his writings, there was no
indication whatever of even the vaguest
conception of the existence OF moral
responsibility. His standard OF right
and wrong was purely aesthetic one {;
the measure by which he Judged all
things was their artistic fitness or unfit
ness. In the strong phrase OF the per-
son referred to above, Poe regarded the
writer of a defective line or the maker of
false rhyme as the worst OF criminals,
holding him in utter adherence but
that man should do murder in the pur-
suit of purpose seemed to him alto
gether natural and proper enough.
THE following is synopsis of the re-
suit of the post-mortem of the late Vice
President Wilson's remains: 1t began
at IL :35 a. M, four hours after death;
thermometer, 90; external appearance
nothing unusual; the brain weighed 40
ounces; texture of the brain full of black
fluid blood; deposit of lymph on surface
of the cerebral hemisphere; consistence
and color of brain normal; cyst the size
of pea in each chroyd-plexus; ather
matous deposit in arteries at base of
brain, and in the anterior and middle
cerebral arteries. The spinal cord not
being abnormal in color or consistence,
microscopic examination was made of
this. The lungs disclosed old pleuritic
adhesions on the left side. There was
calcareous deposit the size of a pea on
the middle lobe of the right lung; lungs
congested. Heart normal, except a
small calcareous deposit on the aortic
valve; pericardial fluid normal. Stom-
ach empty; congestion throughout with
slight erosions or abrasions ut several
points; pyloric portion normal. Liver
congested and somewhat fatty; small
cyst on upper surface. Gall bladder
full of bile; normal. Kidneys-Weight,
8 ounces; each congested with one or
two small cysts and cicatrice of similar
cyst. Spleen large and dark. Other
wise normal. Other viscera normal.
Cause of death, apoplexy.

How a Chicago Detective Becomes an
Author.

There are many ways of making books,
but that employed by the well known
Allen Pinkerton is somewhat peculiar.
Authorship is not his forte, and probably
he could not write reward hand-bill
dramatically. But he is turning an
honest penny and amusing his declining
years in making books, and this is the
way he does it: He lets the work of au-
thorship out at so much a week, and the
$50 much F" doesn't represent a very
large sum, either. The work is done by
three persons, Mr.. Pinkerton. short
hand writer and the author" The de-
tective closets himself with the short
hand writer from 8 a. m. until 6 D. M,
and details to him incidents and anec-
dotes concerning the capture of some
bank robber, counterfeiter or murderer.
The story is written out and given to the
third person, the "author," generally
some young Bohemian who has worked
on the daily press in the capacity of re-
porter, and he works the matter up in as
good shape as possible. This is then
sent over to Pinkerton, who orders al
terations or lamentations, and the copy
is sent to the printer. Pinkerton makes
n pretty good thing on the sales, as The,

larly by the news fiends of railway trains

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
The Buxfuxzes.


DEDICATED TO THE BuMBLEBEEs.
Old Mrs. Buzfuzz lived on hill
She never was much Of rover
And she kept little patent still,
And brewed the juice Of clover
Old Mr.. Buz was an iCtie drone,
lie seldom thought OF working;
But he sat about like a lazy orone,
And did their modest cerking.
He used 70 sit on q wisp of hay,
In the door when the days were sunny;
But his brisk wife knew that wouldn't pay
In either food or money.
One day some clouds came DER the sky,
And II looked like fearful raining;
So the wise old lady thought she'd try
To give him q little training.
sCome in and shut the door," she said,
"Or I'm sure shouldn't wonder
II there's little left of your precious head,
Between the rain and thunder"
But the queer old fellow just sat still,
And the storm came splashing round him
And the floods ran over the door-sill,
And what could they do bit drown him?
Then Widow Buzfuzz fairly Aew
For her new black velvet jacket
And whether she wept never knew,
But she made dreadful racket.
The Widow Buzfuzz still lives on,
With little joy or money,
Aud feeds her babies, night and dawn,
On nice plain bread and honey.

JOHN CHINAMAN is not alone in his
love for rats, although the form of affec-
ton may take different shapes with diff
ferent people. This fact is verified by a
a report that comes from Virginia City,
Nevada. The miners there are all
lamenting the destruction of the rats in
the mines by the gas during the fire.
These rats ate the scraps of bread and
meat ETC., which the miners threw away,
and which if left to remain would soon
vitiate the air. There seems 10 be nc
remedy except the importation of col
ony of rats which some other localitie:
would be only too glad to furnish.
