Doubtless there are many who remember
that on the night OF December /, 1868, the
| louisville and Cincinnati Mail Company S
| Steamers America and United States were
destroyed by collision and fire on the Ohio
River, few miles above Warsaw, Ky. The
! night was dark and heavy gale was blowing,
which caused some misunderstanding OF
signals, and before the fatal mistake could be
| corrected the bow Of the America had
crushed through the side OF the United
States. A cask Of petroleum on the latter
vessel was by some means lgnlted, and
almost instantly her stately cabin was
wrapped in flames. and before the broken
hull sunk it was wholly consumed The
America, unframed by the collision, APP
preached the burning boat to render assist
ance to her passengers and crew, but the
intense heat caused til, boat also to take fire,
and She. too, was quickly consumed Both
steamers were insured in Louisville and Gin
cinnati Offices.
From the following. which we copy from
the Cincinnati lon}mtrcal Of the 18th inst, it
will be perceived that the United States Mail
Line Company have at last gotten Judgment
affirmed by the Supreme Court OF Ohio,
against the insurance companies OF Cincinnati,
WHO refused to pay for the steamers America
and United States, which were both destroyed
as mentioned above. Orr Insurance compa-

ACADEMY OF MusIc. There was not pres

was anticipated, owing to the drizzling rain

Bertha, the Sewing Machine Girl" was
again presented with the same cast as Monday

virtue was duly rewarded, and the heart sut-

Drilled VS.. Broadcast Wheat.

DR.. e. NJ. Pendleton, Professor of Ag-
ricultufe in the Georgia State College of
Agriculture, has made some experiments
in sowing wheat broadcast and in drills,
the results being largely in favor of the
latter system. In the first place less than
half the quantity of seed is required per
acre; if sown in drills, than broadcast,
this being no small item saved where
large area of land is cultivated. The
yield reported is nearly 90 per cent. in
favor of drilling; besides, for every
bushel of wheat obtained from broad
cast sowing, 1877 pounds of straw we're
produced, and from the drilled only
Dinety-Dine pounds. From this showing
1t would appear that man, in raising
thirty bushels of wheat per acre in drills,
gets half ton less straw than by the
broadcast system; consequently drilled
wheat is the least exhaustive of fertility
in proportion to the amount of grain
produced
In the experiments referred to it was
further shown that culture of the grow
ing crop produced decidedly beneficial
results. After the crop was we'll started
in spring, subsoil plow was run be-
tween each two rows, breaking up the
earth, but throwing none against the
plants. If stirring the soil about corn in
summer is beneficial, we can see no good
reason why it should not be for the young
wheat plant. Whether the increase in
yield and quality of grain will be suf-
ticient to pay the extra cost of culture
remains to be determined by series OF
experiments extending through several
years. One or two failures or successes
are not to be taken as conclusive in
demonstrating the value or worthlessness
of such systems of culture.-N. J. Sun

Desperate Fight Between a Leopard
ana a Panther.

Two hons, two loopards and tame
black panther have for some months
been kept in one cage In Barnum's Hip
podrome. The lions are separated from
their companions through the night by
iron bars, but in the daytime the bars are
withdrawn and the animals form a
happy family"
No sooner were the bars taken out
yesterday morning than the leopard
made spring for the panther's throat.
The panther was young, but his muscles
we're like iron and his skin as thick as
sole.leathcr, and he struck the leopard n
blow with one of his fore-p paws that laid
him spraw ling on the floor of the cage.
In an instant the leopard was on his feet
again, and the animals stood face to face.
For fully minute they glared and
growled, and then, with shock that
nearly turned the cage on its side, they
met again, each trying to grasp the other
by the throat.
The employees of the hippodrome, at
tracted by the noise of the conflict, tried
with bars and spears to separate the
combatants, but without avail. Seasoned
spears were snapped in two like straws,
and even the keeper of the animals dared
not approach the cage.
The leopard, with an unexpected
spring, fixed himself on the panther's
back, and taking the loose skin on the
back of the latter's neck between his
teeth gave the panther toss against the
side of the cage that bent the thick iron
bars nearly double For minute there
was great danger that all the beasts in
the cage would escape. The top of the
cage was broken and the floor was split.
nnt I.a hufsln fnr an I,ar
without sound struck the floor of the
cage lifeless.
But the leopard was not satisfied with
the death of his antagonist. No sooner
was he convinced that he could APP
proach with safety than, seizing the
panthcr's head between his fore paws, he
gave him tearing with the sharp claws
of his hind feet that nearly stripped the
skin from his body. Then he began with
his teeth, and before the employees could
interfere nearly half of the dead panther
had been eaten by the leopard.
When at length sufficient force had
been collected around the cage, the
keeper who had tanned the panther en-
tered the den. There upon the floor lay
his pets silky black skin, almost entire
His body, not yet cold, quivered and his
eyes glared. The leopard crouched in q
corner of the cage, satisfied with his
meal. The iron bars were soon replaced
| and the leopard was prevented from do
| ing further mischief,
At the afternoon performance the
| leopard was so unruly that it was deemed
| unsafe for the trainer to enter the cage
but the bars were kept in their places
and no more damage was done.-N. y

To realize the question Of economy OF
fuel u Is necessary to consider in the
first place what given quantity of fuel
Is capable Of doing As regards hot
water, II water Is kept at temperature
Of 200 degrees, or from that TO 210 de-
grees, the gases from the fire can, after
communicating the heat to the boiler,
pass off into the chimney at tempera.
ture Of little beyond that point but II the
water be allowed to boil in the first
place large amount of latent heat is
absorbed by the steam, which Is lost If
the steam passes off into the air or the
chimney, and, in the second place, il
will be found that the gases, after they
pass off from the boiler, will have tenn
perature of as much as 300, 400, and
even 500 degrees. Unless, therefore, wa
ter IL required to be actually boiling for
use, IL the water is permitted to boil, a
great quantity of heat is wasted up the
chimney. For household purposes 10 is
never necessary that the water in the
boiler should exceed 200 degrees. Tea,
to be good, should be made (as clearly
shown by Francis Galton In his cart. of
Travepo with water of temperature of
from 180 to 200 degrees. Very few
culinary operations require the water
really to boil, and, when boiling water is
wanted II is required in saucepan
standing on the fire. All operations of
cleaning, etc. Except washing clothes),
require water at very much lower tenn
perature than 212 degrees. If, however,
water at higher temperature is wanted,
it can be supplied up to about $50
degrees without the generation of fsteam,
by heating 1t under pressure; this can be
attained by having close boiler fed
from cistern placed at the top of the
house. For the preparation of preserves
and some other cooking operations such
a system is most convenient.-Ihe House

what western Girls Can Do.

AN Ohio girl, who had read something
in Cincinnati paper about the physical
dcgeneracy of American women, comes
valiantly to their defense, at least so far
as the girls of her acquaintance are con-
cerned. She says: "Whatever may be
the condition, physically considered, of
the girls in the East, know that in our
healthy State of Ohio there are plenty
of healthy girls. And if the girls in large
cities will lace and diet for the sake of a
b GODDESS face, weak nerves and sharp
bones projecting at every point, let them
have their pains for their trouble, and
don't marry them, young men, but come
West, where the girls, both in town and
country, are (but with few exceptions)
healthy and strong-fit to become wives
and mothers, and they do not have pale
faces, weak nerves, neuralgia, etc, but
can wash, iron, cook, sew and milk the
cows and do all the work common to the
household, besides having good educa.
