WHY VAN HORN WAS APPOINTED.

NBw York, Aug. 10.
The Tribune's Washington special says
Assistant Secretary Mccormick states that
Collector Decker of Rochester was removed
for incompetency and neglect Of official
duties; that Van Horn, the new collector,
is not friend of Hayes, but was known to
Sherman and McC Cormick and highly recon
mended for surveyor Of the port at New
York.
SITTING BULL GETTING HoMEsIcK.
The Times special says Secretary Mills
of Canada states that Sitting Bull wishes to
surrender to the United States and return
to the agency If he can retain his arms and
ponies and go unpunished. He has not
been prosperous in hunting this summer,
and will be unable to subsist during the
winter. Schurz demands unconditional
surrender. If the cabinet consent, a COM
missioner will be sent to Sitting Bull.
The Worlds special says Gen. Sherman
writes, favoring cooperation with Canada
to secure Sitting Bulls return. The hos
tiles are in miserable condition, and there
is great danger that they may create trou-
bles similar to those on the Mexican bor-
ders. He and Gen. Terry favor sending
a commissioner to treat with the Sioux.

Messrs. Collins and Rudge, the

WASHINGTON Petrified.

The San Francisco ChI Ontcte prluts
letter purporting to come from Wash
! inqtoa and dated february Is, in which
the writer says: Eve visited Washing
toms tomb to-day at Mount Vernon,
Va. some nineteen miles from this city
dova the Potomac, and we had the uD
usual privilege OF beholdfng the mortal
remains of the immortal Washington.
Visitors to the tomb will remember that
the west wall of the same has for seYe-
raj years been in falling condition and
in great need of repair. A few days
since part OF it tumbled into the tomb,
completely covering the sarcophasus OF
Washington and also that OF Martha
Washinpton.e In order to repair the
damage in competent manner 1t was
found necessary 10 remove them few
feet from their resting pace. The one
containing the remains Of Martha
Washington was removed first, but at
tracted no attention. But the unusual
weight OF the one containing the re-
mains OF Washington, aroused the curl
osity of the official Who was superin-
tending the work OF removal, and It was
decided to open the sarcophagns IN or
der to ascsrtaia the cause. This was
done, and tbs remains were found TO be

Tue body is Of dark leathery color,
and may be said to be soft sandstone,
which would likely break should an at-
tempt be made to remove 1t from the
sarcophagus. Edward Baker, an aged
colored man, who has resided upon the
farm since be was a boy, and who as
sisted in removing the remains from the
old tomb to the present one, informs ur
that It is thirty-eight years since their
last removal. At that time tEey had

The Superphosphates in Gardening

We advise no one to rely wholly upon
any commercial fertilizer for the nour-
ishment of his garden plants. Make
your garden rich with stable manure
and homemade composts, after which
get, il you can, a good and pure article
of concentrated manure from q manu-
facturer or dealer, whom you can trust,
and use it as an auxiliary. ....-
Apply on garden beds, already mod
erately manured with stable manure,
and intended for vegetables, at the rate
of four quarts to the square rod, mix
ing it with wheelbarrow load Of COM
post-spreadiag broadcast, and digging
it in with spading fork or q pronged
hoe.
For beam, sugar corn, melons cab
bages, cucumbers, tomatoes, squashes.
etc, apply large tablespoonful to each
hill, mixing it we'll with the soil before
putting in the seed or plant, as in some
cases it is not safe to permit it to come,
in mass, in direct contact with them.
Some apply one half the quantity they
propose to use at the time Of planting,
and the other half as top>dressing at
| the first hoeiDg.

What a Plant Did.

A little plant was given to SICK girl
In trying to take care of it, the family
made changes in their way of living
First, they cleaned the windows. that
more light might come to It's leaves;
when not too cold, they wonld open
the window, that fresh air might help
the plant to grow. Next, the clean
window made the rest of the room look
so uhtidy that they used to wash the
floor and walls, and arrange the turni>
ture more neatly. This led the father
of the family to mend broken chair
or two, which kept him at home sever
al evenings. After the work was done
he stayed home, instead of spending his
leisure at a tavern, and the money thus
saved went to buy comforts for them
all. And then, as the home grew at
tractiye, the whole family loved it bet
ter than ever before, and grew health
ier and happier with their flowers
Thus the little plant brought real as
well as physical blessing.

What Makes a Sea Shell Sing.

When the sea-shell is held up to the
ear there is peculiar vibratory noise
which children assure each other Is the
roar of the sea, however distant they
may be from it. Philosophically lnves-
tigated the peculiar sound thus recog-
nized is phenomenon that has puzzled
scholars for long time. The expert
ment is easily made by pressing spiral
shell over the cerebra Of either ear. Ii
large shell, the sound is very much

what causes it? Every muscle IN the
body is always in state OF teusloh.
Some are more on the stretch than
others, and particularly those OF the
finger. 1t is conceded that the vibration
of the fibers of those in the fingers beng
communicative to the shell, it propagates
aud intensifies them as the hollow body
of the violin does the vibration OF ifs
strings, and thus the acoustic nerve
receives the sonorous expressions.

The Art of Reading.

S1r. Anthony Trollope delivered an
address on the cart OF Reading be
fore the Quebec Institute recently. Re>
fsrrirg to the reading of novels, he said
i was much better that they should
read no novel than that they should
devote themselves exclusively to them;
but if they were readers he was sure
they would find it advantageous so to
mix light reading with serious reading
that the one should not engross or the
other weary them. He recommended
them to acquire the art of readlng-a
never failing source Of enjoyment, but
only to be obtained by practice, and
not. he impressed on his audience.
when middle life had come ON them.
As to what they should read, he would
sav. good books. Ao.ve all things he
would advise them not to deceive them
selves in their choice. If they could
make poetry a delight with them, it had
q charm which could not be found i'll
any other literature, but if poetry was
distasteful there was world OF
prose. They must read for amnse
ment, but they need not ON that ac
count eschew acquiring information
Instruc i've books, indeed, were th'
books to get hold of. Magazine read
ing unfortunately left too little behint
it. and as to novels there were, o.
course, novels and novels, but he die
not think that Scott, Thackery, ol
Dickens ever wrote anything impure.

Sickly Plants.

Instead of changing the soil contain
ing sickly plauts, the surface should be
well stirred, and then so thoroughly
soaked with water at a temperature OF
133 or 144 degrees Fahrenheit, that it
will run freely from the bottom OF the
pots. Thus treated, after few days
the sickly plants recovered their origin
oil health and vigor. and began to grow
again. Among tho plants SO treated
were palms, roses, fcus elastics, and
others. This is given on the authority
of NJ. Millermoz, in French paper,
as having been practiced for some years
with unfailing success by NJ. Luces.

The Secret of Making Good Butter

from milkiness. The butter is worked,
