one figure in the product tor decimais.
Again, we find a similar question an
swered by a correspondent IN the
Courier-Journal:
RULE o MEASURING CORN.
First-Ascertain the number of cubic
feet in the crib of corn. Second-Dlvloe
the sum by 8 and subtract it from the
number of cubic feet in the crib. II Or
dinarily ..slip"-shucked; and if closely
..slipr-shucked, divide by 4 and take the
| product from the number OF cubic ieet
in the crib or pile of corn, and then
divide the sum by 2. and the result VIII
be the number of bushels of corn IN the
crib or pile. The wagon-body n ne
gives in his article will hold 10 bushels
| ordinarily s.ship'-shucked. m l6 10
bushels closely .'slip"-shucked: No rule
can be given to apply to all KINDS OF
corn. In very Indifferent corn the mum
| ber of cubic feet would have to be oil,
vided by 2 and that product subtracteo
from the number of cubic feet in the
crib or pile and then again divided by
9 to get the number of bushels; ane
again, in very good corr that had beer
cribbed four or five months, and closely
sslip"-shucked when gathered, Il
would be enough to subtract from mum
her of cubic feet in the crib or pile.

OBITUARY.
The Death Of Er. .GOvernor Henry A. WISE
of Virginia.

Henry Alexander Wise died at his res
idence in Richmond, Va, at 11:41 a. m.,
18th inst, after lingering illness of sew
eral months, few minutes before he
expired he said "My life has been de-
voted to virtue and integrity, and can
say that never tried to rob penniless
man, and what is worse, and what is cas-
ier, l never tried to rob rich one." Gov.
Wise was not what is known as profess
sor of religion, but a short time before
his end, his mind seemed to wander and
he told those beside him that he was not
afraid to die, that it was not fearful
thing, but it was a wonderful thing to
stand in the presence of the living God.
Governor Wise was born in Drum
mondtown, Va, Dec. 1906 After gradu-
ating at Washington College, Penna,. in
1925, he studied law, and settled in Nash
vile, Tenn. He subsequently returned
to Virginia, and established himself in a
law office in Accomack county. In 1888
Mr.. Wise was elected to Congress by the
jackson party, and after the election
fought duel with rival politician. He
was twice reelected Congressman. In
1874 he was appointed Minister to Brazil.
He was elected Governor in 1866, Dur
ing his term of Governorship occurred
the seizure of Harper's Ferry by John
Brown. Mr.. Wise WIS member of the
State convention in which, from the
Committee on Federal Relations, he
made a report which aimed at compro-
mise and peaceable adjustment with
the seeded States. After the secession
of Virginia he was appointed Brigadier-
General in the Confederate army. His
force was driven out of the Kanawha
valley by the national troops. Subse
quently he commanded at Roanoke Is
land, N. c., where his forces were defeat
ed by Burnside's expedition. His son,
o. j. Wise, was. killed at Roanoke Is
land.

Gold hunters who still dream offnding
the treasury of Capt Kidd should read
the story that comes from Indiana and
be encouraged. In the little town of
Eminence, about IS miles south west of
Indianapolis, two Indians last Wednes-
day evening called at q farmers house in
the early evening and asken the way to
a certain tree. Proper directions were
given and the Indians departed. Never
having seen his callers before, the honest
farmer was curious to know their object,
and went to the tree by ashort road and
hid himself in the bushes near by. Soon
the Indians came, lantern in hand. They
dug hole in the ground on one side of
the tree-they seemed to know the very
place to dg-and to the blank amaze
ment of the farmer found cooper chest
two feet square, opened it by the light of
ihe lantern, and took out several bags of
gold which they at once poured into a
strong sack provided for the purpose.
Astounded at the sight farmer Parker
jumped from his hiding place toward the
men, but in an instant the light went out
all was darkness, and the Indians disap-
peared through the bushes. Mr.. Parker
estimates that $40, 900 were found in the
chest and it is believed the treasure was
secreted there many years ago by some
ancestor of the Indians in his flight be-
fore an enemy.-N Y 2rt6NAe.
A Buddhist nun in Marking, aged half
a century, pleaded in public and private
for money to build temple to her favor
ite goddess, Kwan yin Buddha. 1t was
all in vain. Finally she caused her lips
to be closed by lock which passed
through them, and then circular inclo-
sure of bricks with one small window
was built around her. There she stood
for several days, resolved to die unless
the people gave her the money for the
temple. A vast.throng, touched by her
devotion and piety, contributed the funds,
and she was released from self imposed
Imprisonment and silence. 1t is valu-
able suggestion for ladies who find it
wearing to coax pinmoney out of their
husbands pockets.

OPINION OF A LEADING HAYES
ORATOR.

"Bob" Ingersoll has very poor opin-
ion of Gov. Tilden. But he has still
more unfavorable opinion of Jehovah.
Witness this extract from non political
lecture: Search the records of the whole
world, find out the history of every bar
barous tribe, and you can find no crime
that touched lower depth of infamy
than those the Bible God commanded
and approved. For suci a God l have
no words to express my lOathing and con-
tempt and all the words in all the langu-
ages of man would scarcely be sufficient.

OUT OF THE PENITENTTARY.

The fifth ward is greatly agitated
about the report, generally circulated
and as generally believed, that Governor
Hayes has pardoned out of the peniten-
tiary Will Hogan, sent up for committing
rape upon and communicating foul dis
ease to a little girl seven years old. 1t is
said that Will Hogan is now with his
brother Patsey who served in Hayes's
regiment in Norwalk. Those who know
of the case would have been better
pleased if Governor Hayes had pardoned
Adm than to have had him pardon Ho-
gan-PlatN Dealer.
For several months past the good people
of Portland, Me-, have been Started and
some of them enraptured with the doings
of certain "Katy King" whose mar
velous feats in the naturalization bust
ness became a source of general comment
and of much credulity. Night after night
she sat in her little "cabinet" in the cor
ner of her parlor and summoned before
the curtain the departed friends of those
who assembled to see her, receiving as a
reward for the work she did the sum of
$40 each night. Some weeks ago two
members of the medical profession, who
had openly expressed their incredulity,
we're invited to sitting. Again they
went, and finally between themselves
devised a means of disclosing what they
we're perfectly satisfied was a complete
fraud. At one end of the cabinet, which
was formed in corner of the room by
suspending a curtain from wall to wall,
sat one of the doctors very near the seat
of the medim, who was behind the curtain
At the other end sat the secondphysician,
and soon spirit appeared and clasped
his hand. He closed his hand tightly
upon hers, not letting her go, when the
other medical gentleman pulled aside the
curtain and found the medium gone.
The spirit shrieked out. "For heavens S
sake let me go!" in the voice of the medi-
um, and, to the CONSERVATION of those
present, the meeting was suddenly adj
journed the medium left to dress and
recover herself, and on the following
days, when the doctores called to see her,
they were at once informed that she was
sick and could not be seen.--N Y 7rI-

A DAILY paper in this State is publish
ing articles on the "High Price of School
Books" and the monopoly that causes
the high prices. 1t is really an abomi-
nation and swindling of the people.
Boards of Education have the power to
mitigate this crying evil, and teachers
can much assist therein. Teachers with
heads well filed and ready with their
knowledge can dispense much with the
great superhuity of text books.

The rule on this subject was early declared and
promulgated by The Internal Revenue Depart
melt itself aud is in full accord with these
views.
In 1868 the Hon, George s. Boutwell, then late
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, prepared a
Manual OF the Direct and Excise Tux System,
which Mr. Secretary Chase officially approved
and authorized. .... ..I..e
Under date of May, 1853, this Manual contains
Opp, 27S 274) the following decision by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue
A merchants return OF income should cover the
business of the year 1869, ertfHding previous
years.
PHYSICIANS and lawyers should include actual
receipts for services rendered IN 1862 together with
an estimate OF unrealized or contingent Income
due 70 that year.
In view of these decisions and official instruc-
tIons of the Internal Revenue Department, Mr..
Tilden's income return for 1862 was made up, so
that, even II different view had since been au-
thoratvely he'd aud expressed, Mr., Tilden would
stand completely justified, But there is no au'
thorily for any different view.
With these preliminary observations, lwill pro-
