The Presidents Message on the River
and lIarbOr Bill
WASHINGTON. Aug. ID,

W AsHiNSIoN. aug, H.
The President to-day sent the following
message addressed to the House of Repre-
sentatives:
In aflixing my signature to the River and
Harbor Appropriation BILL No. 1922, deem
it my duty to announce TO the House of Rep
resentatives my objection to some features Of
ihe bill, and the reason why ! sign it, If it was
obligatory upon the Executive to expend
all the money appropriated by Congress,
should return the River and Harbor bill with
my objections, Notwithstanding the great
inconvenience to public interests resulting
therefrom and loss of expenditures from
previous Congresses upon incompleted
works. Many appropriations are made for
work of purely private or local interest in
no sense National | cannot give my sane
ton to these, and will see that during my
term OF Office no public money shall be ex-
pended upon them. There is very great me-
cessity for economy OF expenditures at this
time growing out OF loss of revenues likely to
arise from deficiency of appropriations to
insure a thorough collection Of the same
The reduction of the revenue districts, di-
minution OF Special Agents and total aboli-
ton Of Supervisors may result In great
falling off of the revenue. 1t may be a
question to consider whether any eXpendi-
ture can be well authorized under the River
and Harbor Appropriation bill further than to
pro ect the work already done and paid for.

battle Of Bull Run, and with another differ
ence, that in that battle the slaughter was
not all on one side.
This terrible record, embracing q larger
number of victims than have fallen by the
tomahawk and scalping knife of the Indians
in twenty years is to be shouted out Of sight
10y cries of "bloody shirt" "carprtbagg r."
"scalawag," and all the slangwhangery Of
brutal blackguardism, and as the Indians
| hutate the bodies of their slain these men
mutilate the memories of their victims by
covering them with charges of every species
| of crimes.
| If there is anything more odious than
these crimes, it is that rocking hypocrisy
which affects to stand aghast at fraud, while
/ attempting to cast its mantle of concealment
| and protection over deeds the most dreadful
and Infamous.
The infamous lies about negro plots to
murder the white people have become eX-
ceedingly stale and disgusting. Last sum
mer the columns Of the Southern Associated
Press for days groaned with the stupid and
| clumsy story that the negroes had conspired
/ to murder the white men and the ugly white
| women of Georgia That this infamous lie
was intended as a preteXt for slaughter
/ there is but little doubt.
Many well-meaDing people deplore any
reference TO the outrages committed in the
/ South as inimical To reconciliation and har-
/ mony between the sections They are eX-
! ceedingly anxious that in this Centennial
/ year past differences shall be forgot en-, and
| the people, North and South forgetting and
| forgiving, and mindful only of our great Ma
| tional future, shall meet aud embrace as a
/ nation of brothers. 1t is contamination
| deyoutly to be wished but / must renlind
! such well-meaning people that any formal
/ reconciliat on, while the dearest rights of
millions are Systematically violated, and the
! greatest wrongs passed unnoticed aud un
| punished, will be the rankest hypocrisy, re-
! voting alike to divine and human justice
| 1t is only the knavish quack who puts IA
! plaster over the mouth of the wound and
| says it is healed The healing process must
! begin at the bottom and be thorough to be
permanent and healthy. All the gushing
and hand shaking which precedes the CON
cession of equal rights and justice to men of
all colors and opinions in the Southern States
! will be the verest sham and deceive nobody.
! Such foul wrongs cannot be ignored and con-
| cealed. They will forever obtrude them
selves upon the world and cry aloud for
| redress.
Let me say to this class of people, and the
men of the South, there is but one highway
/ to reconciliation, and that is open, straight
and free; and over its portals are inscribed
these words Equal rights to all to all
equal protection of the laws and if the
Southern people will walk in that highway
| they will arrive at the temple of peace and
! find unbroken rest.

The Captain aud the Dandy.

The portfolio of an ex-editor now
and then sends forth some amusing
"odds and ends" among which is this
good one OF captain of one of our
Nantucket whalers, an eccentric fel-
low, and of rather an uncouth figure,
who visited one of our cities after a
cruise of three years, and one evening
attended the theatre. As a matter of
course, such a rough, dark-complex-
Toned old character in a box with
several fashionable ladies and gentle
men, attracted considerable attention,
and created some merriment among
the exquisites. Several times, every
Opera-glass in the boxes was thrust at
him, until finally aware that he was
the attraction of the evening, he left
the house, determined to pay such i'm
pudence in their own coin, on the fol-
lowing night.
Accordingly, or the succeeding eve
ming, envelOping beneath his great coat
the ships spy-glass. about two feet
and half in length, he started for the
theatre. As soon, almost, as he en-
tered his box, the opera glasses were
IN commOtiOn. He waited until the
play commenced, when, upon observing
young gentleman. with a cane under
his arm, and glass at his eye pointed
directly at him, he drew forth from his
outer garment a spy glass, and draw
ing 1t from the case the entire length,
aimed it direct at the dandy, and con-
tinued to look at him until the house
was in a complete uproar. and the fop

In no way is the scarcity or abun-
dance of money more readily noticed
than in the value of luxurious articles
of food. In nothing of this description
has the price more decidedly fallen
than that of terrapins. During the
late war full-siZed terrapins eight in
ches in length over the back, sold for
twenty-five dollars dozen, and those
measuring from six to eight inches
were in demand at eighteen dollars per
dozen. Now, the former are worth
twelve, and the latter eight dollars
per dozen. Even at these prices the
demand is only about one-half COM
pared with ten years ago. TerrapiDs
are in season from the first OF October
to the first of April. During other
portions of the year they are not con-
sidered edible. They are found in all
the brackish waters, bays, inlets and
rivers along the Jersey coast. The
usual time of taking them is at low
tide in the fall and winter, when per-
son seated in the stern of boat probes
the mud with an irOn-pOinted pole as
he is slowly padded along. When the
weather becomes cold the terrapin bu-
ries in the mud of shallow streams and
inlets TO the depth of foot or more,
DuI Ills NHtItdDouls W Is TtdullE ueIeT-
mined when his shell Is struck by the
pointed iron. 1t sometimes happens
that a dozen or twenty are taken from
the mud within the space of few feet.
OF late years, however, many have
been captured in heavy nets purposely
constructed by fishermen. They are
thus dragged ashore in considerable
numbers during the spawning season,
and kept in ponds till there is demand
for them. This practice is very de-
struc,ive to the animal and must re-
suit in their determination in certain
localities. Some of the best terrapins
come from the Chesapeake. The dea-
lers distinguish the sexes by the names
of bulls" and cows The former
rarely exceed five inches in length, are
but little esteemed, and can be pur-
chased at a dollar and fifty cents per
dozen. As terrapins are shipped to all
the principal cities in the Union, the
aggregate value of the catch is very
large, and they should, like fish, be
protected by the law. The habit of
seining them must result in the rapid
decrease of the species unless mea-
sures are taken to prevent it. The fresh
water terrapins abound in nearly all
the streams and ponds of Pennsylva-
mia and the neighbOring States, and is
less priced as an article of food. 1t
retails at from two to four dollars per
dozen, and grows frequently to three
times the size of the salt water variety.

Con.unpsion can be Cured
PULMoNfc SYRUP,

SCHENCK' 8 PULMoNfC SYRUP,
SCHENCK's SEA WEED TOXIC,
SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure
Pulmonary Consumption.
Frequently medicines that will stop a
cough will occasion the death of the
patient; they lock up the liver, stop
the circulation of the blood, hemorr-
hage follows, and in fact. they clog the
action of the very organs that caused
the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are
the causes of two-thirds of the eases of
Consumption. Many persons complain
! of dull pain in the side, constipation
coated tongue, pain in the shoulder
blade, feelings of drowsiness and rest
lessness, tine food lying heavily on the
stomach, accompanied with acidity and
belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate
from disordered condition of the sto-
mach or a torpid liver.
Persons SO affected, if they take one
or two heavy colds, and if the cough in
these cases be suddenly checked, will
find the stomach and liver clogged, re-
naming torpid and inactive, and almost
before they are aware the lungs are a
mass of sores, and liberated, the result
of which is death.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an ex-
pectorant which does not contain opium
or anything calculated to check a cough
suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dissOlves
the food, mixes with the gastric juices
of the stomach, aids digestion, and ere
ates a ravenous appetite.
When the bowels are eostive, skin
sallow, or the symptoms otherwise of a
bilious tendency, Schenck's Mandrake
Pills are required.
These medicines are prepared only by
j. III. SCHENCK & SoN,
n. T.. cor. Sixth and Arch Sts., Phila.
And are for sale by all druggists and
dealers.

Wool Greas,ng.-A Mr.. Lebrun men,
tiOns, in German paper, that cOnsld-
cradle quantity of oil may be saved by
the following process of oiling WOO.
beside insuring more uniform and
regular web, ON account of the wooden
tibres lOOsenlng and separating them
selves more easily from each other.
Moreover, this plan, it Is said, is not
open to the Objectionable features of
some processes, which sometimes cause
the total disappearance OF fine color
dyes and the cards wear longer and
better, besides allowing the wool to be
more easily and economically cleaned.
To obtain this preparative, pour into
a wooden trough 20 parts oil, with 10
parts of liquid ammonia, adding parts
of water. Stir up this liquor with a
wooden spoon, and, by inserting a
steam pipe, allow the same TO boil. un-
til the strong smell of ammonia has
evapOrated, after which the Oiling or
greasing may be proceeded with in the
usual manner.

Ventilation Of Rdil,cdy Tunneis.-Mr
G. j. Morrison says that, when tunnels
without shafts are to be ventilated
fans should be employed is keep up an
artificial ventilation; that for given
amount of traffic the power required to
ventilate long tunnels varies as the
fourth power of the length; that when
q long tunnel is to be ventilated it is
more advantageous to have a double
line tunnel with trains in each direc-
ton than two single line tunnels with
trains in one direction only that for
every tunnel there is a limit to the
amount of traffic, where locomotives
are used. beyond which ventilation be-
comes impossible this limit cannot be
very definitely fixed, but for tunnel
of twenty-five miles it does not exceed
a total of twenty trains a day.

Snou Crystdls.-Few things are more
exquisitely beautiful than snow rystals
examined under low power say ten
to twenty five diameters. A good mag
nitier, such as is used by engravers,
however, gives a very fair view of
them. 1t is only at certain seasons that
snow crystals are available, and unless
examined in a very cold room they are
exceedingly perIshable. To avoid these
difficulties. however, NJ. Dorigel. of the
St. Petersburg Academy, has endeav-
ored to obtain some substance not liza
BILE to dissolve at ordinary temDera-
lures, and crystalizing. like snow in the
hexagonal system. He selected iOdO-
form, which crystallzes in remarka-
bic variety of forms. To show their
multiplicity. NJ. DOrigel dissOlves
iodofOrm in boiling (ninety per cent. }
alcohol, and let's the solution cool In
water of different temperatures. He
gets mostly tubular crystals when a
solution containing fifteen to thirty
per cent. of iOdoform is kept ten min
utes in water of about IA to IA degrees
c., whereas star shaped and often very
complicated crystals are had at tenn
peratures of 26 to 81 degrees.-Ameri-

Ufiii-dtion of Wdste.-Cotton waste
is a singular example of the successful
application of scientific utilization. 1t
is the collected sweepings of the card
room, aud formerly had no value.
Large heaps were suffered to accumu-
late until it fermented, and was then
spread over the land. After that, car
fridge paper makers bought it at $40 to
$40 per ton; then it rose in price, and
means were found to bleach and tear
it up, in order, that it might be respun
and woven ,and now there is a trade OF
IA. .OO0, 600 cwts., giving employment to
500 dealers. The various uses are all
exhibited, and the refuse Is then sold
tor engine cleaning, and finally to the
paper maker; jute Is next. An immense
trade has been created. 1t is product
of Bengal, and formerly was used only
for gunny bags, to pack rags or mer-
chandise in, but now yieldsto processes
which tit it for weaving with silk or
cotton, or IN the making of thread,
ropes, sail cloth, and with wool IN fan
nels and carpet, and with cocoa nut
fibre for mating. etc. During - years
the consumption has risen from 39l. .OOO
cwts. to ESQ, 900 cwts.. and the value
from $3.50, 900 to 5000 600, and the re-
fuse now equals the original import OF

LINE AND SALT.-Prof. johnson re-
commends for fertilizing purposes to
mix one bushel of salt and two of dry
lime under cover; allow mixture to de-
compose gradually, thus forming chem
ical union. For this purpose the mix
tuIe should be made six weeks before
use, or still better two or three months
the heap being turned over OCCASION
ally. This salt and lime mixture when
applied at the rate of twenty or thirty
bushels per acre, forms an excellent
top-dressing for many crops. 1t acts
powerfully on the vegetable matter of
soils; fifty-six bushels applied to tur-
nips have produced as large a crop as
barn-yard manure. 1t is destructive
to grubs and insects in the soil. Like
salt, it attracts moisture from the air,
and is useful against drought. Its de-
composing power is remarkable, and if
three or four bushels of it are mixed
with load of muck, the latter will be
thus thoroughly powdered.

BEETs FOR Cows.-Last year l raised
a lot of mangolds and carrots. The
mangolds were gathered first and put
in the cellar; afterward the carrots
were gathered and corded up on top of
them, so that when l began to feed
them to my cow, the carrots came first.
The COW gave about her usual quantity
of milk, excepting the usual shrinkage
on the accession OF cold weather and
being put upon dry fodder.-Fearing
that the beets would not keep as well
as the carrots and also thinking that
they possessed better milk-prOducing
qualities, l was anxious TO get at them.
Accordingly L removed part of the car
rots and commenced feeding beets,
when to my surprise, my COW began to
fail of her milk until the deficiency
reached about one third. Wishing to
test the matter still further, changed
back again to carrots, when her milk
increased to about the usual standard.
The quantity fed was about the same
in either case-about a half bushel
basket, three quarters full. If there
was any difference, it was in favor of
the beets.-C0r. Rural Ne,o Yorker.
