WORKS.

From the London Times.]
There is nothing the matter with NJ. Thiers
beyond his seventy light years. His health
is excellent, his spirits are elastic, and his
activity is undated. The change into the
new house has not been attended with any
bad effect. For six months before he moved
into it calorifere was going night and day,
and large fires were kept up in the sitting and
bedrooms. The cross walls and the lining OF
the outer ones are of brick. Every room in
habited by the family is hung throughout
with wooden or silk brocade, having beneath
layer of tarred paper, which prevents any
deleterious emanaiions from the fresh plas-
ter. Large wood fires blaze in saloons, bed
chambers and in the library.
M. Theirs is on foot between and IN the
morning. On getting out of bed he takes a
cup of chocolate. He then runs about the
garden, looking at the flowers; visits the
greenhouse, and goes to see his horses.
After doing this, he ascends to his library, on
the first floor, to work at his desk or to
classify bis papers. He is assisted by secre.
tary, residing in the house. NJ. Bar helemy
St. Hilaire comes every morning to aid in the
arrangement of the political correspondence.
which was carried on between 1870 and 1873.
NJ. Theirs has several literary irons In the
fire. He is still engaged on his philosophical
treatise, in which he vindicates Spiritualism
(which nobody must confound with spirit
rapping). and he is writing memoirs which
will probably appear only when this gener-
alton is in its grave. A history of modern
French aft is also said to be in course Of pro-
gress.
Privileged visitors are received in the morn
ing between and 10. The door is most care
fully guarded against borers and intrusive
people. A system of telegraphy is organized
between the concierge's LODGE the secretary's
cabinet, and the ante-room, in which Louis,
a confidential valet Of eighteen years stand
ing, keeps ward. NJ Theirs is much less &C
cessible than when he was President. Then
be was the servant of the public; now be is
working for pleasure, for fame, and for the
diffusion of what he deems to be sound ideas
on philosophy and politics.
In the evening, when he has had his after
dinner nap, he belongs to his friends. Nine
Theirs is uneasy at the way in which he
lavishes his mental gifts upon them. He sits
on snug little sofa at right angles to
the wide mantelpiece, and defended from
draughts by an ample screen. There he talks
separately with political friends, ambassadors,
and some ladies, in whose conversation he
takes pleasure
NJ. TIMERS is an enthusiastic hprticulturist
He knows each flower in his garden, and
treats it as personal friend. The little semi
circular pleasure ground at the back of his
mansion is tended by two gardeners. The
masters ideal is so high that they scarcely
suffice for the work. There is no fresher spot
in Paris than this oasis. Birds are encouraged

THE NEGRO RIOT.
THE TROUBLE BROUGHT ABOUT FOR POLITICAL
EFFECT.
From the Atlanta (Ga.) Herald,

From the Atlanta (Ga) Herald, Aug 21
We have resisted with all our power the
belief that the threatened riots in Middle
Georgia had any solid basis of truth. That
three or four thousand negroes should DELHI
erately determine to rise in force on a certain
day and massacre the white people of twenty
counties was too horrible to be believed.
At last, however, after a careful survey of
the field, we find no escape from the conclu-
sion that such plot did exist In the first
place, a letter was fonnd addressed to the
captain of negro company, instructing him
with great particularly when and where to
commence the attack. Negroes who were
captured confessed that such an order had
been regularly promulgated. Spies who had
no knowledge of the letter, who were sent
out to reconnoiter, brought back the same
story. Bands of armed negroes we're found
in military array with their camp-fires burn
ing and pickets around the camp.
White scouts that were sent out were fred
at from the woods. Aud at last q negro mes
senger "a nephew of "Gen. Morris'') is
caught with letter bearing the same infa-
nous orders of the letter that had been
found in Washington county. Hence there
can be no doubt but that an uprising of the
negroes was planned, and that if it had not
been discovered the farm houses of the coun-
ties in the 'black belt" would have been at
tackled at dawn on yesterday morning.
This fact being established, it becomes a
matter of importance to know what cause it
was, and what influence, that so stirred up
these negroes. This problem, we feel conf
dent our correspondent, who is now in the
midst Of the threatened counties, will be able
solve for the readers of the Herald in a few
days. In the meantime, it is believed that
the trouble was brought about for the purpose
of political effect Whether this is true or
not, we call attention to the unparalleled
moderation with which the Georgia people
have acted in this matter.
They have acted with a patient endurance
that challenges the admiration of the world
We assert confidently that if such damning
conspiracy as this had been discovered in any
State of the North, or East, or West, that
blood would have been flowing now freer than
water, and the trees would have been bur
dened with fruit that nature never intended
them to bear.

proposed method of getting rid of the
nuisance of the smoke and cinders from the
locomotives in railways trains has appeared
in Cincinnati. In this hot weather, when
open Car windows are the rule, and by some
people held to be necessity, and with the
presence of bituminous coal burning in loco
motives, smoke aud cinders have become a
greater nuisance than ever. The device is
tube of considerable diameter moving over
the top of the cars from a point just behind
the smokestack to the rear of the train. The
theory is that the motion of the train will
make draught sufficiently powerful to draw
all the smoke and cinders through the tube,
SO that they will be discharged behind the
train. While the train stands still the wind
will carry them off that is if the wind is
blowing in the right direction.

Experiments were made some time ago in
England relative to the preservation of boil
ers by placing unslacked lime in those boilers
which could be kept empty, and in those
cases where they are liable to leakage from
the sea, by filling them with q solution Of lime
in sea water. The result of this experimental
application of the solution of lime proved so
satisfactory that by direction of the govern
ment its use is to be EXTENDED to iron and
composite ships. The regulation prescribes
that in all cases where it is impossible to dry
out completely any of the compartments,
bilges, or wings, in order to coat them with
composition, paint or cement, lime we'll

A MILLION DOLLAR HAMMER. "A German
paper informs US that the famous steel works
of Frederick Krupp, of Essen, are about to
receive very important addition to their ma
chinery. The largest steam hammer in use at
these works at the present time is one capable
of working mass of steel fifty tons in weight,
and erected at the cost Of s560,000. 1t is
now in contemplation to build a new steam
hammer capable of beating up mass of
steel of double the weight namely, one hun
dred tons The new machine, it is esti-
mated, will cost $1,000. 900, and will be the
most powerful in the world; and it may be
expected that the size and weight of the Ger
man artillery will be enormously increased,
as the new steam hammer will permit the
working up of larger masses Of metal than
up to the present time has been thought to
be possible by scientific engineers.

A Danbury Spelling School.
[Danbury News.1

An impromptu spelling school was in
augurated in Merrill's grocery, Saturday
evening. A young man, who, last winter,
aided Mr.. Couch in the management Of
the North Centre school, conducted the
class. The first word he gave out was
Indian.
The first man said, SIN, in. din, din
-Indin.
The teacher shook his head. "Well,
declare, l thot had it, said the speller,
with keen disappointment; but he picked
up when the second man started, and
eyed him with considerable anxiety.
The next man, with desperate earnest
ness, said. "I-n, in, de, de, indie. u-n I'm

Then he sighed, and gazed anxiously at
the teacher, while an old party at the end
of the bench: who was watching the
efforts with derisive amusement, turned
the quid in his mouth, and said:
"You amt in a rod ont; but 20 on

of laugh while this effort was being put

guffaw at its conclusion.
"Well, that's spell for you, mus

speller said nothing, but he grew very red

To Raise Onions.

To raise onions the ground should be
thoroughly plowed, made very mellow,
and rolled. 1t should be made rich with
well-rotted, fine barn-yard manure. and
wood ashes make good additional fertil-
izer. Thirty two.horse loads per acre
would not be too much manure for a
good crop. Five pounds Of seed per acre
may be drilled in rows nine inches apart
with light hand seed drill. The ground
must be kept very clean from weeds, and
mellow with the hoe. A. hoe with a
prenged blade specially for this work.
