this county, which experts declare to be
fine quality of land plaster Although
our prospective gold mines have come
to naught, the finding of rich bed of

bonanza of almost equal value.

The editor of the Zeitrng says that
when we can bring ourself to address
him in a gentlemanly manner, he will
reply to our articles Of last week. That
is the first intimat1on we have had that
our language was anything but gentle
manly. He undertook to father the
staten ent that we belonged to t'city
ring" and in self-defence we denounced
the statement as an unqualified lie. IF
one can't tell the truth about him with
out making him out liar, the fault is
his, not ours. He dare not give the
names of the men comprising the city

public who the Johnnie Shoddies are Of
whom he has been writing for the past
three weeks.

REPUTATION after the style of Alabama is
discussed in Virginia as a "readjustment of
the State debt" to be consummated at the
approaching session Of the Legislature, not
by repudiation,-that isn't the word, but by
Legislative denial of existing obligations" :"
The Richmond Whig, which thus gingerly
alludes to the movement, claims, however,
that the repudiationists will not be able to
control the Legislature.

A STRANGE obsticle in the way of conver-
sion was found, according to some of the
religious journals, by the evangelists in
Brooklyn, in the desire of church members
to listen to the services. So anxious were
these people to hear Moody and Sankey that
they crowded the building, and did not give
the sinners chance to hear the gospel.
These journals also complain because the
secular papers report the sermons with so
much fullness They fear that continued
publication will take away the freshness and
power of the discourses.

THE intelligence of the death of Henry
Wilson, which took place in Washington yes
terday morning, will be universally received
in this country with profound regret. Mr..
Wilson was almost the last of the champions
of freedom who headed the great fight against
slavery in the stormy decade from 1850 to
1860. For his eminent services, wise coun-
sci and high character, the people have de-
lighted to honor him, and their grief at his
death will be profound and sincere. He was
certainly one of the most notable men of his
time, and noble representative of the high
er and better type of American politicians.

In the advance sheets of Herbert Spencer's
new work on the principles of sociology that
author treats of The belief among certain
tribes and nations that the spirit of the dead
man remains with the body preserved entire,
and of the corollary that the soul is also pres
ent in preserved parts Of the body. He re-
lates many instances of the faith in relics.
In the Sandwich Islands, bones of the legs,
arms, and sometimes the skulls, of kings and
principal chiefs, are carried about by their de-
scendants, under the belief that the spirits
exercise guardianship over them. The Crees
carry bones and hair of dead persons about
for three years. The Caribs and several
Guiana tribes, have their cleaned bones ''dis-
tributed among the relatives after DEATH,
The Tasmanians show "anxiety to possess
themselves of a bone from the skull or the
arms of their deceased relatives" The An
damanese "widows may be seen with the
skulls of their deceased partners suspended
from their necks."

White Leghorn Hens.

A writer in the Rural World who 'goes
his pile" on the White Leghorns, thus
writes about them:
Having given this breed fair trial du-
ring the last eighteen months, perhaps l
can interest some of your readers with
few remarks in regard to their qualities.
They are medium size, but good layers
of good sized, pure white eggs. They sell
dom offer to set, and if they have good
range, they will find most of their living
in good weather, and lay both winter and
summer. They are becoming very popu-
lar, both for beauty and rs layers. They
cannot be excelled by any variety in the
number OF eggs they will produce in u
year. The chickens feather out and ma
ture very early, are easily reared, very har-
dy and exempt from disease. Pullets often
lay at five months old. Pullets of this
breed Matched out the first of August will
come to maturity and begin to lay before
Brahmas and Cochins that were Matched
in June. From the experience have had
with this breed, consider them the best
breed of fowls in existence, and if they
have good range, they will produce more
pounds of eggs and dressed poultry tban
any breed, to the quantity of food con-
sumed. During very hot or very cold
weather, when the large breeds are setting
around in Some corner to protect them
selves from the heat or the cold, the Leg
horns are stirring about and appear TO be
comfortable. They are very gentle and
stand confinement well, seldom flying over
a four foot picket fence. Their flesh is
white, juicy and Of good quality. For the
farm or city they are very snowy and orna-
mental.

Getting Married.
ECIIo.

Girls, don't think you have reached the
sum and substance of earthly bliss when
you can write Mrs. before your name. To
be sure it is all very proper, as we'll as
pleasant to have house and husband of
ones own, provided that one is old enough
to take care Of the same; but simply to
get married, is only small part ofthe plan
designed by our Creator for our wisdom
and happiness.
To most girls, their wedding day is
day Of emancipation from care joyful
beginning of a new state of existence; of
life without shade of grief or aught to
mar its perfect harmony. 1t is so pleasant
to be the one idol of true heart, no
wonder the young girl sees everything
through rose-colored spectacles. But, af-
ter all, it is as well to remember that 9TH
ers before her have entered the matrimo-
NAL state, and found it to be one of care,
doubt and anxiety. And they were wo-
men as good as the best.
1t is this mistake that leads so many
people wrong at the commencement of
married life. They take no thought OF
their duties toward another, or remember
we are all crring creatures, and their idol
no less clay than others, only that their love
has made it gold. They expect freedom
from care in married life, but they have
only given up their freedom, and COM
menced lite's cares in earnest. Then after
the first excitement of being "the BRIDE"
and observed of all observers" has passed
away, comes the settling down to real, ac-
tual life, and the young wife must needs
learn to eat, drink, sleep, visit, and re-
ceive visitors; these are part of her duties
as before while, in addition to her do
mestic cares, she must learn to adapt her
temper and disposition to another's views,
and learn the beautiful lesson of self deni-
al, if she expects perfect peace. Poets may
sing of loves young dream and life in a
cottage, but practical people will tell you
how much more real is loves awakening
and comfortable two-story. 1t is this
very dream of love that breaks so many
hearts. If women dreamed less of love,
and accepted its wide-awake reality, there
would be less disappointment and more
real happiness. Not until couple have
lett off the dream and turned to the joys
of real love and life, do they understand
how perfect love may make the hearts
peace; but alas too often the awakening
GENES after the spirit has flown. So take
our advice, girls, and if you are fortunate
enough to get steady, and honorable man
for husband, don't spoil your chance of
happiness by mistaken views. Look upon
getting married" as only part of your
tnisaion

Ice IN THE HoUsE.-The use Of ice in
small quantities frequently repeated is very
general in many diseases, but it is general
ly found to be q difficulty to keep it from
melting, especially in small blocks. DR..
Schwarz recommends, to obtain this result,
that the ice should be put in vessel Gov
cred with plate, which vessel should DO
placed on feather-bed and covered with
feather pillow or cushion, feathers being

states that by this plan he has been able
to keep six pounds of ice for eight days

While Jesus waits to catch the spirit-breath,

Touch but the outward clay.

TURNIPs AND CORN ToGETHER.-The
Canada Farmer says: A Westchester
county, N Y. farmer is in the habit of
sowing yellow Aberdeen turnips among
his corn at the last passage of the cultiva.
tor, when the corn is about five feet in
height. The turnips do not make much
growth until the corn is cut, after which
they swell rapidly. The cost is nothing
except for seed and harvesting, and the
corn being already cut, is not injured when
the turnips are gathered in. From one to
four hundred bushels of turnips per acre
has been thus obtained, without lesseuing
the corn crop. Weeds are not tolerated,
and the whole strength of the land is de-
voted, rs it should be, to useful crops.
