5. District Court, in Chambers, Judge
Bradford, presiding, the case of John
Mcbride, bankrupt, to show cause why
the said bankrupt, should not retain $37,
collected by him as shown by the schedule
to the assignee. After hearing the argu-
ment the Judge stated that there had been
no fraud shown on the part of the bank
rupt, but that he must pay back the
amount SO collected to the assignee. He
wished to be lenient with him, and would
therefore order that decree should be
made out giving the same bankrupt three
months to pay back the money, or be at
tached for contempt.

Col. Orzo j. Dodds, late member OF
Congress from the fourth district of Ohio,
tells good story about call he recently
claimed to be an editor from Arkansas.
He was very seedy- looking chap, and
appeared as though he had but recently

profoundly, then striking an attitude,
with one hand on his heart and the other
extending badly-used plug hat, he ex-
claimed with dramatic air:
"Have l the honor of addressing the

"My name is DOdds; but 1 am no

There Is Danger Ahead

When those usually active little organs, the
kidneys, are negectful Of their duties and
grow sluggish. Fatty degeneration, Brighrs
disease, diabetes, and other dangerous mala-
dies, are the result of neglect to remedy this
inactivity by medicinal means. When the
all important functions Of the kidneys are
imperfectly discharged, those organs need
stimulating, and the best possible agent for
that purpose - since 1t performs its office
without exciting them-is Hostetters stom-
ach Bitters, which, in combination with its
tonic and cathartic properties, possesses val
liable qualities as diuretic. Both kidneys
and bladder are strengthened by II, and the
yigor which it imparts to them, and the gen.
tie but effectual impulse which 1t gives to
their operations, 10 the best possible guaran-
ty against their becoming diseased. The
Bitters are invaluable in other respects as
we'll as the above, since they remedy general
debility. uterine troub les, chills and fever,
dyspepsia, constipation, govt, rheumatism,
and other ailments.

Petunias,

All who have cultivated Petunias have
seen flowers with margin of green, more
or less wide. The seeds are offered in all
catalogues under the name of p. mar.
gtaGiG.
Several years ago we experimental
with Petunias for the purpose of asceir-
tanning how far they could be improved
by crossing and selection, an account of
of some of the results of which was given
in this paper at the time. For the second
year we obtained mOnstrous flowers, both
as regards size and markings. The most
striking of these were marked and the
seeds (where perfected) saved. But the
third season, instead of coming at all
true, or OF being Improvements in any
way upon their parents, they were all in
ferior to those of the second season, and,
concluding that little was to lie gained
by further experiments, we gave up Petu-
MIA culture for that of other plants with
which we had less to do.
Among them, however, was plant that
we watched with good deal of interest
In early summer it bore flowers that,
when spread out, measured seven inches
across the throat of lilac, veined with
purple, and the edges banded with green
ofvarying widths. During early fall the
green margin increased in width, until
by late September the flowers were wholly
green. Those blooming still later were
half corolla, half leaf, until at last ro-
settle of green leaves alone indicated
where the flowers ought to have devel-
Oped. In several instances, imperfect
stamens and pistils were formed, sur
rounded by crimped or ill-shaped leaves
that were neither leaves nor petals. In
others the stamens and pistils grew to-
gether, forming stem which continued
to grow out of the corolla the same as if
there had been flower.
1t is worthy of note that these green
flo wered Petunias were wonders of vigor,
the leaves and stems being twice, perhaps
thrice, the size of the self colored,
blotched and striped varieties, and the
flowers comparatively very few.
What seem unusual phenomena in
plant growth are by no means so rare as
we suppose. Make a specially of what
plant soever you will, and watch it close
ly through the season, we will be very
likely to observe peculiarities that would
escape ordinary observations. - Rural

Care of Harness.

Few farmers realize the care needed
in the proper preservation of leather, and
the lack of knowledge of its require
ments causes the loss of many dollars to
the owners of horses. The practice of
washing harness in warm water is very
damaging, unless coat of oil is applied
Immediately after washing. No harness
is ever so soiled that damp sponge
will not remove the dirt, yet, even
when tho sponge 10 applied, - AZ
important to apply slight coat OF
oil by the use of a second sponge. All
varnishes and backing that contain the
properties of varnish should be avoided.
when a harness loses its lustre and turns
brown, as almost any leather will do after
long exposure to the air, the harness
should be given new coat ofgrain black !;
first washing the grain surface thorough
ly with potash water, to kill the grease,
and after the grain black, applying oil
and tallow to the surface. This will fast
en- the color and make the leather f1exl-
BILE.
Meats foot oil only should be used on
harnesses, and no more should be applied
TO the leather than it will absorb, as many
harnesses are injured by applying too
much oil. A superabundance SO applied
works out to the surface in hot weather,
absorbing dust and dirt and soon looking
very slovenly. -,
An excellent harness polish may be
made by breaking in small pieces four
ounces Of glue, pouring over 1t in a basin
about q pint Of vinegar, and letting 1t
stand until it becomes soft. Take two
ounces of gum in another vessel and pour
in half a pint of black ink, letting it
stand until it is perfectly dissolved. Melt
twoldrachms of isinglass in cup, with as
much water as will cover it. To mix the
whole, turn the softened glue into sauce
pan over q gentle fire, adding another
half pint of vinegar, stirring until per-
fectly dissolved, being careful not to let
it burn at the bottom nor reach the boil
ing point. Next add the gum, and, after
arriving at about the same heat, add the
isinglass; then pour it out for use. APP
ply thin coat, sufficiently heated to be
fiuid, with piece Of dry sponge, and II
the article 10 dried quickly, either in the
Gun or by the fire, it will have a better
polish. This answers equally well for
boots and shoes. -Colemans Rural World.

The Mennonite reservation east of the
Red River, and about twenty-five miles
southeast of Winnipeg, is now as well
populated as any district of the Province
of Manitoba, and the most recent immi-
grafton has been directed to a reservation
of seventeen townships adjoining the
frontier, and extending west of Red River
to Pembina Mountain. The settlement
on the reservation first mentioned, called
Rat River, consists of $50 families, and
on the second reservation, called Dutferin,
$50 families have been planted. In ad-
dition thirty-three families have been set
tied near Scratching River, and the re-
cent arrival of thirty five families will 60
to Dufferin.
Estimating five to family, the Men,
MONTE settlements of Manitoba contain
a population of 5,865, which will doubt
less increase steadily, but by no means
with the volume of the past three years.
The Mennonites who still remain in
Southern Russia, though inclined to emf
CRATE, in consequence Of the termination
Of the stipulation exempting them from
military services, are not prepared to sac
rifice' their possessions. When they can
sell without disadvantage they emigrate.
The exodus is therefore likely to be grsC:
ual, especially rs the Russian Govern
ment, while insisting on the right of con-
scriptiou, assents readily to special as
sipnments of service in Difference to the
Mennonite consciencs-such as transport
tstion, forestry, and hospital service-very
much as the Quakers Of the United States,
during the late civil war, were subjected
to military service, but relieved from
bearing arme.
The emigrating class of Lutheran Quak-
ers, known as Mennonites, are neither
the rich nor the poor, but are an interme-
diste body, who are. however, by no
means destitute. Mr.. Hespeler estimates
that the sum brought into the province
by the Mennonite immigration 10 $780,
600, and the recent arrival Of thirty five
families have not less than $4,000.
There are Mennonite settlements in the
Western States, but the land system there
enforced does not admit Of special reser-
vstions, and Manitoba has thus been en-
abled to present greater inducements for
this class of settlers. Here the commu.
nifty can organize itself fully according
to its traditions, including the rural vii
