II is often remarked by strangers visiting
our State that we show larger proportion
of good horses than any other State in the
Union. This, we tell them, is owing to two
principal reasons: in the first place, we breed
from the very best stock; and in the second
place, our people use Sheridan's Caual7g
Condition Pomders, which in our Judgment
are of incalculable advantage.

Boys, wake up! Don't sit dreaming as
though the world was just made to sleep in
Don't imagine that somebody is going to
clothe and feed you while you do nothing
but read love stories. Have more ambition
than to part your hair in the middle, carry
cane or flourish a cigar. Don't any of you,
belttle yourself by useing tobacco in any
form. 1t will make you filthy create an ap-
petite for liquor, and make you old and ner-
vous.
Wake up Try to be somebody. Try to
do something. Try to be noble, honest and
industrious. By being somebody we do not
mean simply being rich or just like all the
rest of the boys. Step out boldly into new
paths that other boys are too indolen. and
timid to try. In doing this, you may not be
like Ned, who uses oaths Or Fred who plays
cards; or Tom, who says his mother and
father don't know anything or like score
of other boys who all do about the same way
for fear the rest will laugh at them.
To do something is to shovel coal or run
errands indeed, anything that is right rath-
er than lounge on hotel steps or in saloons.
If you would rather tell little falsehood, or
smoke, or drink, than to be seen in plain
clothes, coarse boots and at work-you are
just nobody.
Truth, temperance and good deeds make
men; clothes have nothing to do with it. If
the lads you associate with talk sneeringly
of their mothers and sisters, avoid them as
you would a deadly poison. The influence
of low, vulgar language may lead you to in
fanny. BE PURE. O, how pleasant it is to
look into the face of an innocent lad who is
chaste and virtuous! Take care of your bod
les do not abuse them. Keep them sacredly
pure, clean and wholesome.
Don't think that because you are only
lad it will not make any difference if you do
just as you please. Don't think that God
thinks very little about you, when the most
trifing act you may do is held in His ever
LISTING remembrance. He says: "Even a
child is known by his doings, whether his
works be pure, or whether they be right"
Just think of that Oh, how good, and right
and pure, then, ought ever child to be, be-
cause for such God is fitting up beautiful
mansion in glory!

How They Treat Grasshoppers in China.


The local authorities, whether civil or mill
tary, are held responsible for the stamping
out of these insects as soon as their appear
ance has been reported. They are required
to summon large body of men, and at once
surround and destroy the locusts, the expen-
seS Of the maintenance of the men and com
pensation for crops trodden down during the
chase being supplied by the provincial treas
ury. Should the local authorities succeed in
stamping out the locusts within limited
time, their services are tavorably reported to
the Emperor but should they fail, and the
locusts spread anddo damage, they are liable
to be deprived of their posts, arrested and
handed over to the proper board for punish
ment. A certain sum per bushel is paid to
peasants bringing in unwinged locusts, and
half that sum when the locusts are able to fly,
while compensation is given for crops trod-
den down in the chase. The locusts are swept
with besoms into trenches dug at the sides
of the corn fields, in which a vigorous fire
is kept up. The best time to capture locusts
is when they are feeding, at dawn of day,
when their bodies being heavy and their
wings wet with dew, they are unable to jump
or fly. II the Western States, or any part of
them, are 10 be visited by the locusts in iu-
ture as they have been Of late years, some
system of defense will have to be adopted.
Under existing circumstances, the use ofmen
in large bodies is impracticable, and the in
genuity of inventors or scientists is our only
hope. The prospect, it must be confessed, is
not very cheering, for the vast uninhabited
regions afford breeding grounds which effect.

Fish Culture.

The subject of Horticulture continues to at
tract the public attention, and especially in
view of the success of the operations on the
part of the United States in the introduction
of salmon into its waters. The United States
establishment on the Sacramento River, un-
der the charge of Mr.. Livingston Stone has
yielded this season 100000 eggs, and the
number collected at Bucksport, on the
Penobscot, by Mr.. Charles G. Atkins is over
100000, or more than 100000 in all. If
half of these be Matched and placed in the
streams of the country, it will make large
addition to the population of the waters, es-
pecially when We bear in mind the fact that
these are planted after the yolk-bag is abb
sorbed, and when the fish is able to feed and
care for itself. According to the estimates of
reliable fish-culturists, in the case of natural
spawning not more than one fish of the age
referred to is obtained from 1000 eggs; so
that the number supposed to be derived from
the labors of the Fish Commission during
the year would be equivalent to the yield
from five thousand millions of eggs.
The California eggs were sent as soon as
sufficiently ripe to the fsh-hatching stations
throughout the Middle and Eastern United
States. Such of them as were hatched sue
cessfully and reared are now being distrbu-
ted in appropriate waters All the Northern
and Eastern States have shared in this dis
tribution, as well as Texas, North Carolina,
Virginia, West Virginia. Kentucky, etc.
The eggs from the Bucksport establishment
are not sufficiently mature for distribution
An ample warrant for the introduction of
fish into localities strange to them is seen in
the success ofthe attempts to supply Tasman-
a and New Zealand with species of British
trout and perch, these having already become
more abundant than the native fish, the
perch being now captured by the ton in their
new abode, and ofyery large size.
So far there is no satisfactory evidence OF
a successful experiment with the salmon
sent to New Zealand, and the effort is to be
renewed during the coming winter by send
ing the eggs from Great Britain. -Hq,per',

The following extracts are taken from a
series of tables published in Vienna;
The Russian army comprises $4,000 men,
lSl 900 horses and 2,0S4 cannon.
Germany has 81 divisions Of infantry, 10
divisions Of cavalry, 337 batteries ofartillery
comprising $4,000 men, $4,000 horses, p
022 cannon.
Austria has 45 divisions of infantry, d.
visions of cavalry, 3l5 batteries Of cannon
making total of 740, ,2l0 men, 58, 1875 horses
and 600 cannon.
English armed forces comprise All 900
men; France 100000 men.
The remaining States of Europe make up
with the above total of about 100000 Of
men. If each man could earn on an average
one dollar daily, here would be a total loss
to the world of five millions of dollars day.
And the cost of support and wages of the
men alone, including officers, will make five
millions more, or ten millions, exclusive Of
the cost of arsenals, forts, ships, wagons,
tents, hospitals, &c.

other Of thirteen carriages. They were. both drawn by, powerful locomotives, the drivers of which had reason for putting on an increased speed, believing, as they had cause to believe, that the other was waiting for him. The night was intensely dark and it was raining heavily, so that, even if the brakes wer1 applied. the wheels would aide along the slippery track Under theee cifcumsEances the two trains. rushed npon each other round a AslightI curve which safaced to obscure the headlights. The combined momentum must have amounted little less than sixty miles an hour, and the shock was heard throughout all the neighboringi village. The funnel of the locomotive drawing the. mail train was swept away, and the other locomotive seemed to rush on top of t, while the carriages of both trains follow cd until a mound of locomotives and shattered cars was formed, which the de- scendirg torrents alone hindered from be- coming funeral pyre.
 So sudden was the collision that the driver of one of the engines did not ap- parently have an opportunity to shut of the steam, and his locomotive. though forced from the track. and disabled. vet remained some time in operation in the midst of the wreck. In both trains, for tunately, there were number of empty cars between the locomotives and the car riages in which the passengers were seat ed, and they were utterly demolished; but for this fortunate circumstance, the Thorpe collision might we'll have proved the most disastrous of all railroad acci- dents. As it was, the men on both the locomotives were instantly killed together with seventeen passengers. and four other passengers subsequently died of their in iuries; making . total of twenty-five deaths, beside fifty cases of injury.
 No mere violent collision than this at Thorpe probably ever took place; and yet. as curiously illustrating how rapidly the most severe shock expends its force, it IS said that two gentlemen in the last car riage of one of the trains, finding them selves suddenly stopped close fo their destination, supposed it was for some un- important cause. and concluded at once to take advantage of such happy chance by getting out and walking Co their homes, which they did. and learned only the next morning of the catastrophe in which they had been unconscious participants.

The blood being the source from which the system Is built up, and from which we derive our mental as We'll a physical capabilities, how, important that it should be kept pure9 If it contain vile, fostering poisons, all organic functions become enfeebled. Settling upon important organs, as the lungs, hver and kidneys, the effect is most disastrous. Hence it behooves all to keep their blood in a perfectly healthy eendi- tiOn, and more especially does this apply at this particular season of the year than ata ny other. No matter what the excit- ing cause may be, the real cause of a large proportion of all diseases Is bad blood. Now, Dr. Pierce does not wish to place his Golden Medical Discovery in the cata- alogue of quack patent nossrums, by rec ommending it to cure every disease, nor does he recommend it on the contrary there are hundreds of diseases that he &C., knowledges it will not cure but what he does claim Is this, there Is bat one form of blood disease that it will not cure, and that disease IS cancer. He does not rec yet he knows 1t to be the most searching blOod-cleanser yet discovered, and that 1t will free the blood and system of all other blood poisons, be they animal. veg skAhle or mineral The Gol,len Medical Discovery is warranted by him to cure the worst forms of skin diseases, as all forms of blotches, Pimples, and Erup.s tI0ns ; also all glandular Swelhngs. and the worst form of Scrofulous and Ulcera- ted Sores of the neck, legs, or other parts, and all Scrofulous diseases of the bones, as White Swellings, Fever Sores, Hip joint and Spinal diseases all of which belong to Scrofnlous diseases.
