The Chances OF War. .

We halted and formed square iu,the
middle Of the plain. AS wo were per-
forming this movement n bpgler Of the
Fitty-irst who had been out with skir-
mishers and had mistaken our. square
for his own, exclaimed: "Here 4 am
again, safe enough" The words were
scarcely out of his mouth when round
shot took of his head and spattered the
whole battalion with his brains, the col
ors and the ensigus in charge OF them
coming in for Gu extra share. One of
them, Charles Fraser, fine gentleman
in speech and manner, raised laugh by
drawing out: "How extremely dis
gustingl" A second shot carried off
six of the mems bayonets, third broke
the breast bone OF q lance sergeant Rob
inson), whose piteous cries were any
thing but encouraging 10 his youthful
comrades. The soldiers belief that "Gv-
cry bnllGt Inns its billet" was strength
cned by another shot striking Ensign
Cooper, the shortest mNu in the regi
mGnt, md in the very center OF the
square. These casualties were the atiair
OF a second. We werO now ordered to
lie down. Our square, hardly large
enough to hold us when standing up
right, was too small for us in n recum-
bent position. Our men lay packed to-
gether like htrrings in barrel. Not
finding n vacant spot seated myself on
drum. Behind nc was the colonel's
charger, which, with his bead pressed
against mine, was mumbliug my epau-
lette, while I patted his cheek. StdIen-
ly my drum capsizCd and / was thrown
PROSTATE, with the feeling OF II blow on
the right cheek. j put my hand TO my
head, thinking half my face was shot
away, but the skin was not even ,Gbrnd-
ed. A piece Of shell had struck the horse
on the nose exaetly between my hand
and my head, and killed him instantly.
The blow received was from the en-
bossed crown on the horso's bit. .

The Chinese Cues.

The history of Chinese cues is told by
the Rev. julius Doolitte, missionary
in China, us follows:, The first emperor
Of the present dynasty, who begun TO
reign in 1914. having usurped tue
throne, determined to make the tonsure
OF Manchurin, his native country, the
token Of the submission OF the Chinese
to his authority. He ordered them TO
shave NIL the head excepting the crown,
mud allowing the hair on that part to
grow long aud to dress it according to
the custom OF Mnnchuria. The Chinese
had been accustomed, under native en-
ptrors, to wear long hair over the whole
head, and to arrange ii in II tuft or coil.
The change was gradnal, but finally
prevailed through the empire. at first
those who shaved their heads and con.
formed 10 the laws, received, II is said,
present Of a tIel OF silver, after while
only half thel, and then only tenth
OF n tael, and afterward only M egg
finally even M egg was not allowed.
Thr law requiring the people to shave
their head mud braid tho cue was not
often tigidly enforced by tho penalty of
immediate death, but ii became very
manifest that those who did not conform
to tho wishes Of the dominant dynasty
would never become successful IN n law.

would they succeed at the literary OK

Useful Notes.

A new cement for uniting metallic to
non. metallic substances is composed Of
thin made glue mixed to the consistence
Of thick yarnish with wood ashes. The
ashes should be added generally to the
glue during ebullition, with constant
Stirring, and the cement should be used
hot. 'nrt r8'.5..
A strong mucilnge capable OF fasten-
ing wood or porcelain and glass together
is made OF eight and one-third ouucOs
strong gum arabic solution, to which n
solution OF thirty grains sulphate o!
aluminium dissolved in two third ounces
water is added.
Carbolic acid paper, now largely uscd
for packing fresh meats, in order to pre-.
serve them, is prepared by melting five

4 Singular Avalanche.

Ono OF the bins OF tho elevator ut st.
Paul bursted. The bin wns 20I30 feet
in width, about seventy feet deep, and
was filled with wheat from the bottom to
tho top, the amount being estimated ut
"a 900 bushels. Aboutnoon the discovery
was made that the wheat was pushing
out the side OF tho elevator Mt distance
OF thirty or forty feet from the top,
and that several iron stay rods which
crossed tho bin had snapped asunder.
Efforts wcrc promptly made to reduce
the pressure by removal Of the wheat,
but it was too late, for at about one
o'clock the crash came, the wooden tim
bers were burst asunder, the iron sheath.
ing was ripped of and scattered to the
winds, and out rushed the wheat in IL
gigantic stream twenty feet in diameter,
pouring over tho side Of the bluff, piling
upon the fiat and carrying before it and
crushing into fragments n shanty, stu.
atcd on the bottom, about fifty feet from
the elevator. The inmates OF the shan
ty had been apprised Of tho danger and
escaped, though they had no time to get
out any Of. their household effects.
The torrent OF wheat, as it came run.
Mug down, IA said to havO presented m
imposing sight, and tho power OF tho
deluge was apparently irresistible. The
whole amount thus discharged from the
ragged hole in the elevator was various
ly estimated ut from seven to ten thou.
sand bushels, aud it took but few min
utes to deposit this upon the ground at
the foot OF the elevator, forming n pile
of about seventy.tlve feet square, the
depth Of wheat icing ten or fifteen feet
at the point where it struck the earth,
and then tapering down to q foot or
two in depth near the outer edge deposit.

Tho question OF Mongoilan immigrG-
ton into the United States Is one 60 seri-
GUS that both OF the great parties have
in their platforms called the, attention
OF Congress 70 it. In ylS7o tue census

The stassneutoi ne number Of Chinese
arriving from 1851 70 1879, as taken
from the reports OF the bureau OF
statistics, shows that from 1881 to 1876
the total immigration was ls9,966 In
1871 the number 70 arrive was o,OSo; IN
1872 it was. 10. .62; in 1S73 it vas u, l34;

port that they have imported lS, 500.
In the last five years Of the Chinese
arriving 2,S97 were women, and there
are not now in the country over 3,5OO
Chinese women. At the present time
there are 10000 Chinese in California,
and that State feels the elect more geri-
ously, OF course, than any other. Tbe
complaint made IS that the ohlneso are
not IN assimilative people and do not
come as other aliens, to make homes III
our midst, or make this the land OF their
adoption, and that the presence OF the
Chinese in large numbers IS cause OF
serious discomfort to the gre1ter portion
OF our permanent population.
The Chinese population expels all

4 Large Poultry Yard.

The following account Of the largest
poultry yard in New York State is given !:
II is ut Greene, Chepango county, and is
Kept by Mr.. A. B. Robesop. He has
six thousand ducks, four thousand tur-
KEYS md twelve hundred hens. They
consume daily sixty bushels OF corn,
two barrels Of meal, two barrels Of pota.
toes, and quantity OF charcoal. The
meal, potatoes and charcoal nra h"ilrd
together and form a puliing, which is
fed warm. He"mp1oTs twomen to cook tho
feed aud feed them. He hGs twelve
buildings for his fowls, from ore hun
dred to two hundred feet long, fourteen
feet wiio and seven'feet under tho caves,
with door in each end OF them. Mr..
Robeson bought most OF his ducks in
tho West, and had them shipped in
crates-three dozen in n crate. He also
has an egg house, thirty-fye by fifty
feet, and four stories high. The outside
is eighteen inches thick, and built Of
cut stone, laid ,in mortar, boarded up on
the inside and filed in between tho out.
side and inside wall with sawdust, it
taking three thousand bushels. Mr..
Robson claims that he can keep eggs
any length OF time in this building. He
also keeps the poultry that he is now
dressing until next May or June, which
he sells for eighteen to twenty-five
cents per pound, and it capuGt be told
from fresh dressed poultry. BE gets
ten cents per pound for turkeys feathers,
twelve for hen's and si1ty-tive for ducks.
He says there is money in poultry, and
he thinks he can make out OF his six
thousand ducks enough to pay for his
egg house, which cost $1,000. He in.
tends to keep great many moro next
season, and has agents out all over the
country buying up poultry and eggs.

Colorado and the GrasShOpperS.

The grasshoppers that pretty nearly
cleaned out Colorado last year have ap-
peared again this spring in great swarms.
A late letter thence says: The farmers
aro fighting them by all the means in
their power. They sluice them down
the bitches with water, gather them up
in helps and burn them-for the water
will only collect, and not drown, these
very vital pests. They set cans OF oil
dripping slowly ut the heads Of their
bitches, and the slightest touch Of the
oily film, floating down with the running
water, destroys the young grasshopper.
They drag the ground with huge har-
rows. covered with blazing brush, and
the flame srorches its tiny millions to
death. They draw papers or platforms
smeared with tar along the fields. and
the insects, trying to hop over, fall OH
the tar and stick there. With aIl these
devices they only thin ont tho nnwcl-
come visitors. All Colorado is watching
the result OF these efforts with entomo'
logical interest. Will the farmers or the
grasshoppers come ont frstl Will the
latter iy away rs soon rs they develop
wings; and II so, will other broods be
brought in by strong prairie wiudsl II
tho crops fail again, look for blue times
iu Denver, which has no interests except
supplying mining districts and Fleeing
summer visitors.

A. Nice Legal Point.

A case involving very nice point for
the consideration OF the court is at pres
ent receiving tho attention OF the surro-
gate OF Kings county, N. Y, being no
less than the decision Of the question OF
tho inheritance OF property left by
Henry R. Rogers, formerly Of Brooklyn,
and his wife, who were burned on board
the steamer City of Waco on the night
OF November 8, 1875, while on tho pas
sage from New York, to Galveston,
Texas. The steamer was overtaken by a
severe storm, struck by lightning and
burned, every soul on board perishing iu
tho flames. Tho question involved is
which died first. tho husband or the
wife2 Tho friends OF both claim Sc, 900
which Mrs. Rogers had deposited in n
Brooklyn savings bank, those Of the hus-
band contending that the wife must have
died first, because her husband, being
the strongest OF tho two, would be likely
to survive the longest under the circam-
stances, and that, therefore, they claim
the money through the husband, who in
herited It from his wig Further hear
ing OF tho case was postponed.

Latest advicos afford little hope that
war will be averted between Servia and
Turkey. Prince Milan left Belgrade for
tho army, amid cheers from the people
and salutes from the batteries. The
church appears to share in the popular
enthusiasm, ull the bishops having gone
to tho frontier TO bless the troops. The
Russian general, Tehernaiefi, who is an
officer in tho Serviau army, recently de-
clarcd that Prince Milan has at his COM
mand 125,OO0 infantry, 1000 cavalry,
and 200 field guns. He predicts that
tho Servians will be victorious, aud
hopes his countrymen will approve his
efforts to rescue the Christians Of the
Balkan from tho degrading and intoler'
able rule OF tho Turks. These senti
ments explain, in part, the intense anxi
ETY. Of the Servians to be led against
their ancient enemy.

Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-01-01

despite the fact that it was dry year,
shows an increase over last season,
the local traffic steadily augmenting.
A new depot and capacious warehouse
has been erected by the Company in
East Los Angeles this year, but the
old depot continues to be used. IL is
contemplated to erect at future day,
extensive machine shops and car man
ufactories in this city. During the
year active operations have been main-
tanned Oh every branch of the line,
and, between construction and equip
ment, the Southern Pacific Railroad
has expended no less than t,Uo million
eight hundred thousand d0'ldfs. The
wharf and warehouse at Wilmington
make an item of SiU, G95 while $4,000
has been expended in 4 he Instruction
of lighters. The acquisitions to roll
ing stock comprise four first-class
large locomotives, fifty flat cars, twen-
ty-five box cars, three passenger cars
and three smoking cars. The aggre-
gate expense of these additions to the
equipment cannot amount toless than
100000. To this road more than to
any other cause does Los Angeles owe
her unprecedented advancement.
Nearly every avenue of trade which
we enjoy is due directly or indirectly
to the efforts which the Company
have put forth in the construction and
extension of their various lines, now
leading to every important part of
Southern California and the sea-board,
and from present appearances, our cit
izens need have no fears that this
great source of their prosperity will
fail them in the future.
