SMELLING AMONG THE INDIANS
The American Indian method of
smelling precious metals vas one ol
the most remarkable devices of savage
ingenuity. Logan tells us that, having
first followed out a fiat stone in the
form of a basin, they then filed il with
charcoal. and upon this laid the mug
get OF metal. A number of Indians
next seated themselves in n circle
around the basin, each having in his
hand a long reed pierced through its
entire center and armed at one end
with a clay tube or pipe. Everything
being ready. fire was applied to the
charcoal, and the whole mass blown
into a powerful heat through the
reeds, the clay extreInities OF which
we're inserted in the basin, while the
Indians blew through them upon the
charcoal with all their might, p~rotract-
ed expiration. No ordinary lump
or gold or copper could maintain it,
solidity in such a crucibie. With this
process, the Indians could easily pro.
duce any variety of ornament from
those metals, using them either alone
or in alloy. This method was known
to have been in use among the Indi
ans who lived upon the gold prnduc-
ing lands Of North Carolina, and the
same process must have been known
to the CherOkees.

SARGENT AND BORUCK.-Marcus d.
Boruck, the editor and publisher Of q
fiteenth-rate sporting paper in San
Francisco, has announced himself as u
candidate for the United States Senate.
He appears to be making his fight
principally by abuse of Mr.. Sargent'
whom he desires to succeed, and who
Is himself q candidate for reelection,
We never particularly admired Mr.,
Sargent, whom we regard rs rather
partisan than Q statesman, but jus
tice compels us to admit that he has
worked faithfully, and, to a c~onsidera.
BILE extent, successfully for the inter.
ests of the people of his State and OF
the Pacific coast, aud to exchange him
for such q man rs Boruck would inure
TO the detrimeut and discredit ol
the Golden State. There Is better sen.
atorial timber than either in the Re.
publican party In California, and Il
that organization has . majority in the
next LEGISLATURE we are inclined to the
opinion that some other member Of
the party, not now prominently men,
toned as . candidate, will walk OF
with the senatorial baggage.

THE MORMON URDERER.

John D. Lee, the leader Of the muir
derous band at Mountain Meadows
twenty years ago, will to-day expiate
his crime by the forfeiture OF his life.
Dispatches received last night state
that he was being conveyed o the
scene of the massacre, where the exc,
cution will take place. Justice in this
instance has been tardy, but it has
overiaken the criminal at last, and in a
few hours the turbulent spirit of the
murderer will have passed from its
earthly tenement and gone before q
tribunal from whose DEGREES there is
no appeal. The spirits Of the muir
dered victims will be partially avenged
and the laws of the country in a meas
ure vindicated by the ignominious
death of one OF its most ruthless vio-
lators. 1t is to be hoped that the con-
fsssion which no has made, and which
will be published after his death, will
furnish a clue which will lead to the
conviction and punishment of at least
some of his principal accomplices in
the most horrible wholesale murder
chronicled in the annals of crime.

RenOyating Meadows,

Our meadows are the most valuable por-
ton of our farms here in the middle States,
where the land is more or less rough and
hard to pillow. Ihe great question with us
is how to get good sod, and how to re-
tain 1t, so that we can depend on from one
to one and a.half tons of hay per acre.
know that majority of agricultural wri-
tiers talk about growing two or three tons
per acre, but have seen more acres cut
that yielded less than one ton, than l have
that yielded more than one ton of hay per
acre. Most writers tell us that where we
have wet or wettish land we must under
drain before we can successfully farm
such land. There are good many of us
who would like to drain, but are not able
to, and to such l will offer few sugges-
tions-tirst relating little incident to il
lustrate the idea:
| took up piece of land that was
thin, poor sod on it plowed it about the
10Th OF June and about the list of
July narrowed. l gave it about Is
bushels of lime per acre, sowed it with
buckwheat, and seeded down with clover
and red-top. The grass seed took well,
and formed a tirstrate sod, yielding
splendid crop of hay for two years, and
smaller crop for two years more.
Now my idea is that if we break up our
sod as soon as the grass begins to fail,
turning it (the sod as nicely as possible,
blowing but once, sowing only one crop of
grain and seeding down to grass, applying
some kind of fertilizer to insure good
catch of grass (the quantity of manure or
lime, or whatever is used, need not be very
large,) there will not be so much complain
ing about poor grass; and venture to say
under this mode of treatment, land that is
too wet in the spring TO plant with corn
will yield the best crops of hay, and be as
profitable as some that is called good grain
land. would also say that it is an excel
lent plan to break up sod in the fall and
SOW the following season without blowing
but pulverizing well the surface) with
either oats or buckwheat, according as the
season is tavorable-never narrowing until
the soil is dry enough to work fine and
mellow. -DarM S. Ayres, in CounnyGen-
tlemdn.

How to Explode a Lamp.

The Scientific american gives some of the
circumstances which lead to the explosion
of kerosene lamps, the philosophy of all
them being that the flame may pass down
the wick and ignite the vapor which accu,
mulates in the upper portion of the lamp.
This vapor is not an explosive as the term
is ordinarily understood, but when it is
confined so that the gases resulting from
its combustion cannot escape freely into
the open air, the vessel containing it will
be shattered. This ignition of the vapor
may DO brought about as follows:
/. A lamp may be standing on table or
mantel, and slight puff of air from the
open window or door may cause an explo.
sion.
2. A lamp may be taken up quickly from
a table or mantel and instantly exploded
8. A lamp is taken out into the entry
where there is draft, or out of doors, and
an explosion ensues.
4. A lighted lamp is taken up fight of
stairs, or Is raised quickly to place it on
the mantel, resulting in an explosion. In
these cases the mischief is done by the air
movement-either by suddenly checking
the draft, or forcing air down the Chin
ney against the flame.
8. Blowing down the chimney to extin-
guish the light is frequent cause of explo-
sion.
g. Lamp explosions have been caused by
using chimney broken of at the top, or
one that has piece broken out, whereby
the draft is variable and the flame unsteady.
z. Sometimes thoughtless person puts
small wick in large burner, thus leav-
ing considerable space along the edges of
the wick. An old burner, with its draft
clogged up, which rightfully should be
thrown away, is sometimes continued in
use, and the final result is an explosion.

Dogs and MatrimOny.

He had decided that it was not good for
him to be be alone any longer, and that
the times were too hard for him to pay out
any more cash for peanuts, lemon drops,
and corn cakes. SO he hitched up the
old mare and started for the Town Clerk s
office. Arriving there, he walked into the
presence of the man of records with shut
fling step, and that look of mixed fear,
bliss and sadness, common to young men
under such trying circumstances. After
casting his eyes about the room, to see if
the coast was clear, he inquired;
"Air you the Town Clerk q
"Yes, sir"
"Dew you make lisenses!n
"Yes, sir" said the Clerk. reaching for
the package of dog license blanks ;"would
you like one?"
"Waal, that's what l came for.n
Eyes well, what is the breed 2" said the
Clerk, dipping his pen.
"A. Briggs" murmurred the youth, with
trembling voice.
"a. Briggs ?" repeated the man with the
pen "evidently new breed. Well, next
about the age9"
Eighteen" breathed the victim.
Eighteen Indeed, that is quite old
but perhaps the breed is like wine, and
improves with age. How about the sizc2"
"About right for size, reckon, Capting."
Eyes; you probably mean average size, 4"
said the quill driver, writing down the
word medium" in the blank. "Next what
is the color"
"Waal, put it down white, and you'll be
about karrect," said the downy faced
youth, who Was beginning to wonder what
all these questions were for.
Very well" said the Clerk; "the next
and last question is in regard 10 the sex.
What is the sex 2"
"What is the what 2"
"What is the sex of your animal; is it a
male or female dog2"
"What In the name of the Electoral
Commission and Judge Bradley do you
mean about my marrying male or female
dog ?" exclaimed the youth, growing excit-
ed.
"Who said anything about marrying ~
observed the man with the pen.
"Who said anything about dog2" spoke
the young man.
Just then great big thought crept into
