PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

MIR. John Tyler, Jr., a son of Ex-
President Tyler, has become minister in
the Methodist Episcopal Church South.
MIR. Ross has spent 100000 in hunt
ing for his son Charley, and seems to be
as far from finding him as ever.
MIR. Disraeli's new title-Earl of Bca-
consti eld-is pronounced Bek-onsield, says
the London Examiner.
Ralph Waldo Emerson makes almost
as much from his apple orchard as he
does from his books.
Miss Catharine Beecher is the only
unmarried member of her family, and she
escaped matrimony by the drowning of
her betrothed.
MIR. Bailey, the Danbury wit, made a
speech at soldiers reunion the other
evening, in which he remarked that s" the
few remaining members must lie like
blazes when telling of their deeds upon
the CORY battle-fields."
Miss Clara Louise Kellogg is said to
have asked at the Commencement of the
Maine Agricultural College if beet vines
required to be trimmed in the spring
She explained that her education had
been chiefly musical or she would not
have troubled any one with the inquiry.
Gen. Garfield, of Ohio, notes an inter-
esting fact in connection with the district
he represents in Congress. During the
past fifty flour years the district has been
represented by but four members, and
fifty years of that time have been divided
between three Observation-Disclosures Gid
dings and Garfield.
-Orpheus G. Kerr's alimentaphobia is
exciting much wonder. Says the New
York Express: cit is just five weeks to-
day since he has eaten anything, and his
condition has excited the curiosity Of his
medical attendant and friends. During
the five weeks which terminates today,
he has taken each day perhaps spoonful
of green peas, or a tablespoonful
of milk punch, or mouthful of ice
cream, or cup of coffee, but no two
things on the same day. He has per-
formed his literary labors almost all the
time since this strange repugnance to food
has visited him.

The Coming Explosion at He'll Gate.

Gen. Newton has recently stated that
the great explosion at He'll Gate will take
place during the latter part of September
The excavations have been complete for
some time past, but delays in passing the
appropriation bill by Congress checked
further operation, and for this reason the
blow-up did not occur on the 4th of July,
as for a long period was contemplated
Those who expect to witness a gigantic
column hurled hundreds of feet into the
air, or look forward with some trepidation
to the effects of fearful conclusion on adj
jacent buildings, will hardly find their
anticipations realized. The mine will be
flooded previous to the explosion; and
with the possible exception Of Jets forced
through seams in the rocks, there is no
reason to believe that any very remarkable
exhibition of the tremendous force of the
explosives will be manifest. From a
scientific point of view the occasion will
be of considerable interest, as the earth in
the vicinity will be shaken by the COM
municated vibrations, which are likely to
travel over long distance. An oppor-
tunity will thus be afforded for measuring
the velocity of sound waves through
earth, and preparations are being made by
points at distances 200 and 300 miles
away.
The arrangements to guard against any
utter disregard of the desires both of those
who hope to see the great blast, and those
who aspire to profit pccuniarly through
other craft will be warned away, so that

Sowing Grass seed Alone.

FARMERS as a class cannot be made to
believe that grass seed will succeed lust
as well, and often a great deal better, if
sOwn alone than with grain, in the usual
way. If the land is rich and the follow
ing season is favorable to the growth of
grass then a good stand may usually be OBJ
tanned by sowing with grain; but if
droughts should occur the young. delicate
grass is likely to be smOthercd or to per-
ish for want Of water. The grain among
which it is growing being so much larger
and more vigorous will appropriate to it.
self the bulk of the moisture and fertility
of the soil.
The severe drought which has prevailed
in the Atlantic States the present season
will make reseeding of many thousands of
acres necessary, and we suggest to those
who have never given the sowing of grass
seed alone a trial to do so this fall, and
see if a better stand Of grass cannot be OBJ
tanned in that way than by the old doub-
ling-up system. When grass and grain are
sOwn together both must necessarily suffer
more or less from crowding, if not for lack
of moisture, and as the grass is the weaker,
it is injured most, the result being fee
bic growth not worth gathering for hay,
and of little value for pasture until the
second year. But if the grass seed is
sown alone in early autumn, or about the
time of sowing winter grain, it will gen.
orally grow sufficiently rank to yield a
fair crop of hay the following season, and
will not be half so liable to be destroyed
by droughts.
This system of sowing grcss seed alone,
may not answer equally well in all.locali,
ties and soils, but it is being practiccd by
our best farmers, some of whom have ex-
pressed to us surprise at their own stu
pidity at so long practicing the old sys-
tenn. We have tested both systems time
and again, and invariably the grass seed
sown alone was far the best; hence the
above suggestions to those who may have
failed to get a good stand in their fields
the present season. There is, however
this disadvantage in sowing grass seed
alone, that one blowing and narrowing
does not answer for two crops us when il
is put in with grain.-N Y. Sun.

A Remarkable MeteOric Shower in
Sweden.

a fall of mcteorites, VIC learn from
1ftonblad, took place on June %, between
eleven and twelve a. M, near StallCalen,
a station on the Swedish Central Railway,
in the northernmost part of Orebrolaen.
Several fell, some on the ground and 9th
ers in a lake. Two We're found, one about
the size of the fist and weighing four and
a half pounds, the other smaller. Eye
witnesses stated that loud whistling was
first heard in the air from west to east, and
light was plainly distinguishable; al
though the sky was clear and cloudless,
thereafter two very sharp reports were
heard, the second succeeding the first after
a momentary interval, followed by several
others less sharp, resembling thunder, aft
er which the falling stones were observed
by eight or ten persons; and, finally, there
was seen in the ARA whirling smoke, not
very high up. A meteor was observed
simultaneously at Stockholm and at other
places. At thirteen English miles SOUTH
west of Linkoping it was seen first in
northwesterly direction pretty high
up in the sky, and it then sank
down in about ten seconds toward the
horizon in the west. 1t had the appear
ance of large pear a foot long, which,
Notwithstanding the bright sunshine, left
behind clear shining streak of six or
eight feet in apparent length, which final
ly broke up into multitude of star-like
sparks. Here no noise was heard. Ac-
cording to a communication from the
Stockholm Meteorological Bureau there is
reason to believe that the phenomena rose
from the "kulblixt'' Uoudre glodulaire),
which generally appears as luminous
round object, and often, on approaching
the ground, assumes heightened form
and binding white color, and bursts as
sunder, commonly with loud report: As
all who observed the meteor, both in
Stockholm and Sodermanland, saw the
luminous appearance in the same direc-
ton, namely, west northwest, it is proba-
BILE that the light proceeded from the
main mass of the meteor situated at a
very great distance. The phenomenon
observed here lat Stockholm) must there
fore have been so far an illusion, the OBJ
ect instead of being, as most p :ople esti-
mated, within a few thousand feet, being
actually at great distance. Later infor-
nation shows that the phenomenon was
visible over a great part of middle Sweden.

numbers of those cattle should afterward
succumb to disease, it will not be diff
cult to discover the cause. Splenic apo
plexy is frequently caused by impure
water, and also by an insufficient supply
of water, even when it is pure. This is a
blood disease, runs its course with great
rapidity, and is exceedingly fatal. Hypo-
sulphite of soda, given in the water which
the animals drink, in doses of from two
to four ounces, according to the size of
the animal, will be useful as a preventive;
but, of course, it can only be used when
the cattle drink from troughs.-Ruroz
