Horses and Mules.

lhere Is no good reason why mules should
not De more generally used than they are,
especially by farmers. They are much
hardler and more easily kept than horses,
and what is still better, they seldom be-
come unmanageaEle, except when balky;
ana IL Is better to have n balky mule,
winch can often be cured by kind treat
ment, than horse that can only be pre-
vented from tearing everything to pieces
ny constant vigilance and the use of all the
muscle OF strong man. Many persona
op)ect to mules on account of their vicious
propensities. 1t is true that many of them
are stubborn and treacherous but such
disposition is often caused by the brutuli
ty with which they are treated when
young. 1t is often supposed that nothing
out blows Will conquer mule, but ON the
contrary we have seen mules which were
not only family pets, but which showed
iuiiy as warm an attachment to those who
Iohdled them as any pet horse would do.
hhey are much slower than oxen, and in
THESE days ofnoisy steam cars and Shrek
ing whistles they are, except in appear
ance, far preferable to many easily scared
horses everywhere to be met with. Under
the saddle trined mule is easily ridden.
and If not vicious or spoicd-in which
case 1t is almost suicide to attempt to ride
hlm-he will amblc along at an easy and
rapid gait with far less fatigue than IL
horse. The day when the mule will be
emancipated from canal boat drudecry by
the steam engine is rapidly approaching,
and it might be well for farmers and
horse trainers to pay some attention to the
training of the hitherto despised but very
useful animal, the mule, for road and farm
purposes.

The Rise in the Price Of Grain.

The price Of wheat and Indian corn in this
country has gone up considerably within
the last three weeks. Wheat is worth about
twenty-five cents bushel more than on the
first of July, and corn ten cents bushcl
more. Thus our farmers will have plenty of
money this fall and they will know how to
put it where it will do the most good. For
several years they have been very well paid
for their crops, but they have not gone into
extravagant expenditures on that account
They have saved their earnings and paid their
debts, and they are in more prosperous con-
dltion than at any former time since the
war ended and the large prices which they
are now to receive will add to this prosperity.
Thus one people profits by the calamities
OF others. But for the disasters which have
overtaken the farmers of Europe, and the
destruction of their crops by tempests and
floods, we should probably have been obliged
to sell our wheat and corn this year at low
rates, owing to the abundance of the yield in
all parts of this country; and it is lucky for
the Europeans rs well us for us that we have
such surplus to sell them that famine prices
can nowhere be exacted ~ Y. Sum-

IncOmbustible Wash for the Roofs of
Houses, Sc.

To make cheap wash for the roofs of
buildings, take sufficient quantity of
good stone lime, and slack it carefully in
close box or mortar bed, to prevent the
escape OF steam. After Stacking, pass 1t
through sieve. To every six quarts of
this lime add one quart of rock or Turks
Island salt, and one gallon of water The
mixture should he boiled and SKINNED
clear.
To every five gallons of this add, by slow
degrees, thrcc-fourths of u pound of potash
and four quarts of fine sand. Coloring
matter may be added. Apply it with q
common brush. 1t will look better than
paint, and is as durable as slate 1t will
stop any leaks in the roof, prevent moss
from growing and rotting the wood, and
is incombustible from sparks falling on it.
When applied to brick work 1t renders the
bricks utterly imperious to rain or wet,
and endures longer time than any other
paint used for the purpose.

The Baltimore Air.Ship.

Mr.. w. F. Schroeder, of Baltimore, has
obtained letters patent for his invention OF
q balloon in which he claims he can ac-
complish voyage from New York to Lon
don in fifty hours. He is now engaged in
constructing it, and expects to ascend
about the goth of August from Baltimore,
on trial trip to Washington.
Mr.. Schroeder has had this project in
contemplation for years, and those who
know him intimately have confidence in
him as a practical, energetic man, of much
mechanical ingenuity. He was, it is said,
for years connected as an engineer with the
Prussian army, and during the Franco
Prussian war did much service i'll the bal
loon corps, making frequent ascensions.
In securing patent for his invention
Mr.. Schroeder was assisted by Mr.. G.. w.
Gail, of the firm of Gail & AK, who holds
an interest in the enterprise. Mr.. Schroe-
der is having parts of the ship manufac-
tured at different places. A wire worker
is making frames, machinist firm is con
structing apparatus, and contracts have
been made for lumber, linen, &c.
A lot on the corner Of Madison and
Boundary avenues is being fenced in where
the work Is TO be prosecuted. A correct
description of the balloon and air-ship as
it is to be cannot be had at present as the
inventor will probably make some varia.
tions from the model.
The balloon is to be egg shaped, very
strong, and will hold $4,000 cubic feet OF
gas. From the machine, shaped like a
lifeboat and suspended below, a steel mast
will run up at each end, insersecting and
bracing the balloon. The balloon and ma.
chine will thus be firmly united. The cal
will be suspended below the machine
There is to be rudder at each end of the
machine, and also propeller, each fifteen
feet long. These pfopellers, working to.
gethcr, act the one to pull and the other tc
push the ship forward. They are to make
twelve hundred revolutions per minute
On each side will be wing thirty-five feet
long that flaps like bird in flight, and
will serve to raise or lower the balloon OF
make it stand still. A light eight-horst
power engine will work the machinery
and gas generator is to be carried along
The whole affair, it is expected, will weigl
1880 pounds, and will carry $4,000 pounds
under ordinary conditions.

SOME FINE HORSES FROM SCOTLAND
Ten fine stations of the celebrated Clydes
dale stock arrived in this city on Wednesday
in the steamer Victoria. They were import
ed from Scotland by the Powell Brothers, of
Crawford county, Pa, for breeding purpos-
es. They are natives of Clydesdale, and on
account of their scarcity and intrinsic worth
command high prices. The aggregate cost
of this herd was $4,000, They were select
ed with great care by an experienced horse
man. They are bays, brown and gray, hand
some and large, and from two to five years
old. The smallest weighs 1000 and the
largest 1900 pounds. Their strength is en-
ormous. Mr.. Powell says he has seen them
pull five tons, and that three tons is an ordi-
nary load. This is the largest importation
of such horses ever brought to this country
They were sent to Pennsylvania last night

THE SONG OF THE CAMP,
By BAYARD TAYLOR.

This poem was founded on welI-known incident
the Crimean war
Give us song" the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding,
When the heated guns of the camps allied
Grew weary of bombardng.
The dark Redan, In silent scott,
Lay grim and threatening under;
And the tawny mouth of MalakoH
No longer bclchcd its thunder.
There was pause The guardsman said,
we storm the forts tomorrow
sing while we may, another day
VIII bring enough of sorrow
They lay along the battery's side.
Below the smoking cannon
Brave hearts from Severn and from CLYDE.
And from the banks of Shannon.
They sang of love and not of fame
Forgot was Britain's glory;
Each recalled different name,
But all sung "Annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until its tender passion
Rose, like an anthem, rich and strong
Their battle eve confession.
Dear girl; her name he dared not speak;
Yet, as the song grew louder,
Something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed OF the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers,
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again fire of hell
Rained On the Russian quarters,
With stream of shot and burst of shell
And believing of the mortars.
And Irish Morals eyes are dim,
For singer dumb and gory
And English Mary mourns for him
Who sang Of "Annie Laurie"
All! soldiers, to your honored rest
Your truth and valor bearing;
The bravest are the tenderest-
The loving are the daring.

cried the old man, becoming excited.
"Would you be murderess ? Are you
trying to hasten his death ?" demanded
Kitty, facing Mrs. Mourdant, with flashing
eyes.
This was new phase of her character.
Mrs. Mourdant actually shrank before her
indignation. The charge, too, thrilled her.
1t had not been her purpose to hasten the
death of the man to make him refuse the
offices of any other clergyman, and then to
keep Mr.. Richardson out Of the way until
1t was too late. She recovered herself, how
ever, and said
"You shall never marry that old man,
| trust my word for it,"
"we shall see,' replied Kitty, with a
| quiet smile.
That smile nettled her adversary.
al tell you, you never shall !" she cried,
white with rage.
"what will prevent? You ?" asked Kitty
coolly.

Anger had got the better of her pru-

he'll find the bird flown. Do you realize
that the Reverend Wesley Richardson is
worth a hundred thousand to you, and
| just the same amount to me? | suppose
| you think that you are the only one who
can scheme when fortune is at stake"
Mrs. Mourdant was jubilant in her tri-
umph. As for Kitty she paled slightly
for the whole plot came upon her like
flash
Nevertheless, she recovered herself, and,
smiling sweetly and innocently in Mrs.
Mourdant's face, said
They laugh best who laugh last.
Never cry until you are out of the woods.
Do you remember the adage."
With that she ran lightly upstairs, lcav
ing Mrs. Mourdant not little perplexed
An hour ago Kitty had been willing to re
linquish the fortune. Now she was on hel
mettle. The sine qua non was the Reverend
Wesley Richardson and she meant to him
The exigency demanded prompt action
but she was equal to it, She glanced at hel

and had got out of the house without Mrs
