How TO PRESERVE IcE.-During ill
ness ice is generally needed in the sick
room. The following method of pre-.
serving it is highly recommended, and il
certainly worth trying: Cutapiece of fan
mel about nine inches square, and secur,
it by hgature round the mouth of al
ordinary tumbler, so as to leave cup
shaped depression of flannel within til,
tumbler to about half its depth. In tn,
flannel cup so constructed pieces of ic,
may be preserved many hours, all thu
longer If piece OF flannel from four Il
five inches square be used as a loos,
cover TO the ice cups. Cheap flannel
with comparatively open meshes, il
preferable, as the water easily drain
through it and the ice is thus kept quit

dry. When good flannel with close text
ure is employed, a small hole must be
made in the bottom of the flannel cup,
otherwise it holds the water, and facili-
tates the melting of the ice. Placed in
a cup of this kind, two ounces of ice has
been known to last for nine or ten hours.

Why Old People Remember Things.

The extraordinary persistence OF early
impressions, when the mind seems al
most to have ceased to register new ones,
ia in remarkable accordance with the law
of nutrition. 1t is a physiological fact
that decline essentially consists in the
diminution of the formative activity OF
the organism. Now ii is when the brain
is growing that definite direction can
be most strongly and persistently given
to its structure. Thus the habits OF
thought come to be formed, and those
nerve tracks laid down which Gas the
Psychologist believes) constitute the me-
chanism of association, by the time the
brain has reached its maturity and the
nutrition of the organ continues to keep
ND the same mechanism in accordance
with the demands of its activity so long
as it is being called into use. Further,
during the entire period of vigorous man
hood, the brain, like muscles, may be
taking on some additional growth, either
as whole or in special parts, new tissue
being developed and kept up by the
nutritive process, III accordance with the
modes of action to which the organ is
trained. Add in this manner store of
impressions" or traces is accumulated
which may be brought within the sphere
of consciousness whenever the right sug-
costing strings are touched But as the
nutritive activity diminishes, the waste"
becomes more active than the renovation
and it would seem that while Ito use
commercial analogy the "old-estab-
lished houses" keep their ground, these
later firms whose basis is less secure are
the first to crumble away-the nutritive
activity, which yet suffices to maintain
the original structure not being capable
of keeping the subsequent additions to
it in working order. This earlier de-
generation of later formed structures is
a general fact perfectly familiar to the
London Mirror.

Tobacco and FIre-Crackers.

All the small boys in the country will
be grateful to The New York Tribune
for saying this: Pipes have caused
more fires than fireworks ever did. But
the insurance men are silent on the sub
iect of tobacco. 1t is the pipe of patriot
ism which they want to put out. Some
doctor has said that city hospital on
the Fourth of July looks like the even

wounded in the hospitals come to grief
by the firing of salutes. Why do not
the National Board OF Fire Underwriters
prohibit cannon The reason is obvil
GUS: The plan is to nip patriotism in the
bud, to suppressit in the boy of the pc

fireworks and crackers. The glorious
Fourth is to be made to him like all 9TH

The Public Printing-Oflice.

John ID. DefreeS, Public Printer, has
issued the following circular
1t is now more than sixteen years since
the establishment of the Government
Printing Office. Since that time COM
positors, pressmen and bookbinders have
come here from every part OF the coun-
try for employment. Many of them OBJ
tanned it, and have by hard work and
economy secured homes for their fami-
lies, which in many instances have not
been entirely paid for; others, who do
not own houses, rent them or board, and
nearly all have families to support out of
their daily earnings. There are now
more sober, industrious and capable
workmen of this character here than can
at any time be employed. 1t would be
unjust and cruel to discharge any of
these workmen merely to put others
from distance in their place, and it will
not be done. AS letters have been re-
ceived from great number of persons
asking employment it is deemed best to
adopt this method of informing all con-
cerned that it cannot be had SO that the
expense of coming here may be avoided.
1t must alse be understood that this
establishment cannot be made either a
religious, political or charitable asylum.
1t is great workshop-the most extern
sive publishing house in the world
and must be managed with the same re-
gard to economy as is observed by the
managers of similar private workshops,
or else it were better for the Govern
ment to abolish it.

Tho Charlotte Observer rccontly contained
series of interrogatories 10 regard to the
operations of the stock law 10 Mecklenburg
County, FROM II. A. Gaillard, Esq, of Fair.
field, who desired to procure tho views Of
those familiar with the practical workings oil
suoh law. In response to the questions
asked by Mr.. Gai'lard, progressive farmer
in Mcoklonhurs gives the following answers
concerning the working and popularity OF
tho stock law in that region. The qucs-
tions ore answered in the order propounded:
!. The new law in Mecklenburg is iu-
creasing the number and improving tho
quality Of the stock.
The trouble and expense Of keeping
stock through the, winter is increased, but
the profits are more largely increased.
3. Farm tenants have no trouble in OBJ
taining pastures. Loborcrs living in the
city, and in no wise connected with farming,
have no pastures, but have the benefit of
public pastures, at low figures. Those of
them who have good COWS fnd them as
uudor the old law, profitable. They are
in many instances furnished pusturage free
of cost.
4. Tho adoption of the law by single
township produces no complication or CON
fusion; but its adoption by several town
ships, or county, increases its advantages
and popularity, aud diminishes the expense
Of fencing.
5. The same provision existed with US,
in regard to fencing in such townships as
adopted the law. There was but little
trouble in making contracts, for the building
of such fence, with either those favoring
or opposed to the law. The cost, in
Guiding gates across public highways, should
not exceed 500 per mile, though with us
in some cases it has exceeded that amount.
Contracts were generally taken by those
living upon the proposed liue of fouce at 81
per 100 for old raile, 81 SO for new, SO to
So for gates. Raising the money to pay for
the fencing has 10 somo instances been casy,
in others difficult.
Tho adoption of tho law has had the
effect of advancing the interest of the whole
people; has imbued the farmers with pro-
grcssivc spirit of improvement; mikes the,
cultivation of cotton less expensive, which
will enable the planter to pay larger wages
to laborers; has almost entirely relieved the
tenant from the burden Of fencing; has
made the raising of hogs, cattle aud sheep
profitable; has learned mon to regard the
lives and property Of their fellow. men, and
thereby advanced the cause of civilization.
1t has made men more peacoable and bettor
neighbors, and has brought order out Of
chaos. After this, the first year, it will
enable the farmers of Mecklenburg to i'm
prove their lands to greater fertility, by
making compost and ploughiug more deeply,
which in few years would oouduoe to
their leisure and pleasure. In conclusion,
the stock law is giving greater satisfaction,
to both whites aud blacks, than it's most
earnest advocates had predicted.
Meokenburg hopes that the people of
South Carolina may obtain the same benefit
from its adoption.

LONDON, August 1.-Out Of the nume-
rous conflicting reports from Bulgaria during
tho past week ooe substantial and very
important fact is cleaned, viz, that the Turks
have abandoned their fabian policy and are
making serious attack on both aanks of
the Russians. The latter have been forced
to suspend aggressive movements and con-
ccntrate on their central line from Bela to
Tirnova, as pointed out 5y tho Times Vi

succeed 10 joining hands between Tirnova
and Balkan passes it will te fatal to the
Russians south of the mountain. Thus far
only Turkish reports of the fighting have
been received since the first battleat Pcvna,
but it is surmised, with strong appearance
of probability, that if the Russians were
faring prospcrously we would have official
bulletins from St. Petersburg

What tho Riot Will Cost Pitts.
hUr@

The following estimate Of tho cost of the
Pittsburg riot by the New York World
does not take into account the damage done
by che loss of life aud the gripping of a
scoro or moro of persons, nor the shatteriug
of tho social laws or order that may bear
moro fruit at any time:
"'rhc tax payers Of Pittsburg would have
been less likely to allow handful of rufiaus
to convert their city into pandemonium if
they had realized the consequences to them
selves of that nights hidcous work as fully
as they will now be made to do. Eight
millions of dollara is tho lowest estimate of
the loss caused by the mob, and many place
it at S10,0 100000. Already ono pawnbroker,
whose place Of business was ransackcd by
tho crowd, has sued to recover $4,000; q
leading lawyer notifies the city that claims
amounting to Sl56, 900 have been entrusted
to him for collection, and 80 1t goes .i
"a Pittsburg poper estimates rudoly the
liability of the county ut S1l3 per voter.
The total amount being funded at five per
cent, with tho allowance for sinking fund,
the annual levy of Pittsburg will be in
creased from 100000 to Sl,200,00O. In
other words, for the next twenty odd years

will havo his annual burden doubled because
actively or passively he aided last Saturdays
rioting. In accordance with the invariable
rule this ipcrease of tho municipal burdca
will fol! upon tho man of last resort---tho
laborer. When the property holder has to
pay 81 900 year moro in taxes he raises
tho rent Of his tenants each 500, and each
of them taxes each Of his ten individual
customers 81 to reimburse himself. These
things indicate the probable cost to tho
people of Pittsburg Of their practical course
in political courage. It will bo expensive
but if they learn the lesson thoroughly, it
will prove to bo cheap 10 tho end"
Within ten years no less than 10000 900
acres of forest have been out down or burnod
over in tho United States. Much Of the
timber ia used for fuel, twenty-five cities
boing on record as consuming from 5000
acres to 10000 aoros each. Fences use up
much timber, and railway slcpcrs require
tho product Of 100000 acres por annum.
The amount Ct piuo aud lumber timber yet
standing in tho forests Of the timber States
is estimated at 225, 100000 feet The SUM
Of 8l44, 100000 is invested in tho timber
industry, employing 100000 men.
