A RACE FOR LlFE.-It is seldom we
are called upon to chronicle so serious
and sad an event which reached us just
before going to press. Three well known
gentlemen OF our city took their depart
ure in skifl from the wharf ut about
two o'clock yesterday, with hopes rs
high and prospects ms bright us the living
sun, only to find that time and tide wait
for none. After struggling for an hour
and half with the high and mighty
current of this food, they finally reached
Moundsville, and there they became
separated, two Of them started to walk
back, leaving Mound,villc Mt the same
time with Il steamboat, and at Benwood
were just thirty minutes ahead of the
train. On their arrival at the Mcclure
House they consulted their spiritual
advisor who told them there was no hope
and then they took to their beer.

SOiling Stock.

This matter of soiling stock deserves
more attention than it has received at
the hands of practical farmers, especial
ly of dairymen. My own experience
the past year as a butter maker has
proved to ME that it will be profitable
for me, both as dairyman and farmer,
to go point beyond that hitherto
practiced in soiling. L have grown rye
(winter) and sowed corn and fed it to
my cows with pro6t-not only in the
way of securing more and better butter,
but in the thrift of my COWS and the in
crease of my manure heap. But 1 have
not soiled my stock exclusively. l am
satisfied that if | had done so, / would
not only have increased the profits from
my own cows taking into account the
increased amount and expense for labor
direct in the shape of butter, but l
could have increased the number of
cows kept on the same area, and the pro-
ductive power of my farm as regard to
field crops.
/ say ] am satisfied of this. Perhaps
should modify the statement by saying
than so far as my experience and obser-
vation go they tend to this conclusion.
Ny practice and figures do not entirely
assure me. and that may not act un-
wisely, beg those of your readers. who
have had experience in soiling stock ex-
clusively, to help me with ito overtnrn
or connrm my opionions.
By the way, ] have been told or read
somewhere (perhaps in the Rural New
Yorker that some cheese manufacturers
refuse to receive at their factories milk
from cows fed with sowed corn-that
they exact as condition of receiving it
that no sowed corn shall be fed. Can
any one tell me why? To me this is a
most extraordinary rule to adopt, and 1
should like to know the reason for it, if
there is one.

Terrible Disaster in San Francisco.

San FRANCISCO, April "A disas-
trous FIRE and loss of life occurred this
afternoon at the corner ofSpear and Har-
rison streets, caused by the explosion Of
giant powder in frame building ada
cent to the Halfway bonded warehouse.
A number of frame buildings, occupied
as saloons and dwellings, were blown to
fragments. The wall of the warehouse
was crushed, and the whole building, in
a few moments. was a mass of flames.
Men, women and children were crushed
in the falling ruins or perished in the
flames. 1t is impossible, at present, to
ascertain the number of lives lost or
persons injured. The fire is now under
control and confined to the immediate
vicinity of the explosion. The loss in
the bonded warehouse is not less than
half a million dollars. The adjacent
property burned, consisting of hay
barn, coal shed, saloon and dwellings,
perhaps S25, 900 more. Search will be
made in the ruins as promptly as the
FIRE will admit for the recovery of bod
les. Three have been taken out thus
far and it is thought there are several
Others, but in the confusion prevailing
it is impossible to ascertain. A large
crowd ia at the scene of the disaster.
Great excitement prevails.

Measuring Gun Discharges.

A verv clever invention for enabling
an observer to determine the distance at
which a gun is discharged is described
in late number of Belgian scientific
journal. The apparatus consists of a
ellss tube closed at both ends and filled
with liquid, in which is "curseur" or
traveller, consisting of two metallic
disks, having a diameter somewhat less
than the internal diameter of the tube,
and connected together by a short me-
tallic rod. The tube is protected by a
casing of sheet brass, the case having a
slot throughout its entire length, through
which the position of the cursenr may
be observed The tube being placed IN
vertical position, the curseur at the
upper end, the latter descends slowly
and uni formly, passing through equal
distances in equal times. Along the slot
is marked a scale of distances, gradua-
ted with reference TO the ascertained
rate of motion of the curseur and the
known velocity of sound. The cerseur
being at zero of the scale, the telemetre
is held horizontal till the fash of the
gun whose distance is to be measured is
observed, and then instantly placed in a
vertical position, with the zero end up
permost, till the report is heard, when
the instrument is instantly returned to
the horizontal. The number on the
scale at the point where the curseur
stops gives the distance.

was elected

The lately appointed Treasurer of the
United States, may be all right. so far as
integrity is concerned, but there is
screw loose somewhere in his makeup.
No man could ever write such sigma
ture as he does, without having spent
considerable time in acquiring the knack
of doing it readily-as it Is said he
does-and any man who would delIber-
ately labor to become proficient in
making signature that neither gods
nor men can read, cannot certainly be
wholly sound The Secretary of the
Treasury ought, in justice 10 the people,
simply forbid Mr.. New putting any such
scrawls which he calls his sig ature, on
any Of our currency. Or, at any rate,
insist that he learn to write before en-
tering upon the duties of his office.
1t is matter to be deplored that so
many eminent men write so aboninably.
The effect upon the young, especially
those of them who have more vanity
than judgment, is to induce imitation,
and thus cultivate, not only Disgrace
full style of writing, but miserable de-
lusion that they are thus exhibiting ev-
licences of intellectual superiority. The
reverse is the truth. Only an ass
would or conld suppose that vile pen
manship indicates anything else than
vice or poverty of mind; or that strag-
Cling, scrawling, unreadable writing is
any less disgraceful than the gross Ian
guage of the canaille.

Millet.

This grass ought to be cultivated a
great deal more than it is. 1t yields
largely, being of rank growth, and makes
excellent food for milch COWS. a cor
respondent of the Rural New Yorker,
in his account of the proceedings of the
Herkimer County Farmers Club, gives
the following remarks, made by Mr..
Whitman, on the properties and culti-
tion of Millet:
Mr.. Whitman said, from what ex-
periments he had made in raising this
crop, he was satisfied it was a valuable
one. MilIet produces a good yield of
rich food. In fee ding it to domestic an
imals, he had not found it Objectionable
in any case, except when used for horses.
The seed was too rich and oily for this
purpose. and, as he thought, was the oc-
casion of horses passing too much urine.
The seed may be sown in June, after
the time for planting corn-or, indeed,
that for any other crop except buck
Wheat. 1t produces an excellent yield,
both Of stalk and grain, and cattle like it
better than hay. The seed is particu-
larly relished by fowls, and it is a pro-
ftable crop to grow for this purpose
alone. He said we have occasion many
times to break up lands late in the sea-
son. Corn and other grain crops are
not unfrequently destroyed at a time
when it would be too late to replant
In such cases Mlllet could be used as
late crop with the best results. He
found the average yield to be at the rate
of twenty to twenty-five bushels of seed
to the acre, and one and a half tons Of
straw, after the seed was taken out.
He always made a point of cutting
Millet while the stock is green, and
when harvested in this way cattle pre-
fer it to hay. 1t grows to good height,
reaching the shoulder, and may be era
died and bound like grain. Mr.. w.
said he had not been very particular in
taking all the seed from the straw; he
did not care to do that. His usual course
was to throw the bundles on the floor,
beating out the seed that would she'll
readily with the fail. The straw with
the remaining seed was given to his
cows, and 1t produced the very best re-
suits.

One Woman Shoots another for In.
timacy with Her Husband.

CREsTLINE, o., April THE neigh
borhood near the corner of Church and
Scott streets was disturbed this morning,
between and o'clock, by the reports
Of pistol and the screams of a woman.
All investigation developed the follow
ing facts: Mrs. Benjamin Strall, whose
husband is an engineer on one Of the rail-
roads here, has suspected her husband of
improper intimacy @ith a neighbor's
wife for some time, and circumstances
led her to watch last night. After a
long period of waiting outside of the
suspected honse, the nnfaithful husband
grieved wife rushed into the house and
shot the guilty woman through the lungs.
She fed to the street screaming, pursued
by the infuriated wife, who caught
her in the street and beat her terribly
over the head with the pistol. The in
jured woman is seriously hurt and may
not recover. Mrs. Strall was arrested
this morning and taGen before Justice
of he Peace, bnt no one appearing against
her she was discharged from custody.
Charles Fayrrel, an old carpenter, who
has been unemployed for some time,
committed suicide at the Weber House
this morning by taking opium.
Mrs. John Mccarthy. an aged resident
of CrestIlne, fell dead at her residence,
this evening, from the effects of heart
disease

Success of Compulsory Education.

Compulsory education is being enfore-
ed in New York City with gratifying
vigor and good results. a census of
children not in attendance upon school
is employing sixty policemen, who will
report by the middle of April. Mean
while, the Truant Agents are securing
the streets for stray scholars. 1t is a
noteworthy fact that so far no compul-
sion, properly so-called, has had to be
used. Persuasion has proved sufficient
In many cases, it has only been lack of
decent clothing which kept children
away. When this was supplied they
have gone joyfully. As yet the
news-boys, boot-blacks, and factory OPP
eratives have not yet been approached.
The hardest work will have to be done

A Protective Tariff In the South.

The New Orleans Republican, in dis
cussing the subject of a protective tariff
not being sectional says: With the es-
tablishment Of protecting tariff, we
would like to know why the South can
not take advantage of it? If there be
this permanent shelter for infant indus
tries, why may not Louisiana enjoy the
asylum as we'll as Rhode Island? Moth
ing prevents the organization of these
Southern industries except by the
Machiavelians and never dissipated by
counter counsel or the active agency of
those who love their country and their
kind.
California contained more gold while
the SpaLiards held it than it does now.
But the men came who developed Old
England and New England and Cali
fornia and Louisiana. They will come
here. Our necessities will bring them.
Our starving people will see that they
have rights and resources which will re-
tain them. The very bngbear of pro-
lection which has so long excluded them
from the utilization of their own indus
try and material resources will disap-
pear. They will find that which they
have been Taught was calamity and
curse to afford the ability to restore
them to their original relations TO the
Union. Let us hope, therefore, that
some practical statesman will arise, az
sumo the direction of Southern affairs
and teach that the South has the same
rights of commercial and manufacture
ing employment, with the same shelter
under the protective system, that any
other part of the Union has,
