The Autumn Celebrations.

The American people have SO many
passages in the history of their early
struggle for freedom to commemorate,
that it is hard to keep track of all the
Centennial celebrations. The dates
of the important incidents of the summer
and autumn of 1777 are given in the fol-
lowing list
Aug. 16-Battle of Bennington.
Sept. 5-First Congress met in Phila-
delphia.
Sept. 19-Battle of Saratoga.
Sept. 20-Massacre at PaOli, Pa.
Oct. BATTLE of Germantown, Pa.
Oct. Capture of Forts Clinton and
Montgomery.
Oct. Second battle of Saratoga.
Nov. 11-Washington retired to Val
ley Forge.
Many of the events in memory of
which we fire cannon and ring bells af-
ter the lapse of 100 years were account
ed comparatively insignificant affairs in
their day, and some ended in positive
temporary disaster to the Colonial
cause yet each contributed its share TO
the great sum of victory which gave
America name and standing as q ma
ton. OF such nature were some of
the earlier battles of the Revolution
whose Tooth anniversaries we're ushered
in and helped out by much noise and
pageantry. This year the people are
taking their celebrations in quicter
mood, though two of the most important
achievements of the war were the
driving of the British troops out of Ben
nington and the defeat of Burgoyne at
Saratoga.

Social Habits of the Americans.

National habits, tastes and feelings
differ. and Americans, in several particu-
lars, are unlike their English relatives.
The Englishman is shy and exclusive.
He builds high wall around his house
and garden, to keep out the eyes of the
public. The American builds fine
house and lays out a handsome garden,
that others may see and enjoy them as
well as himself. Shut in and hidden,
they would lose half their value. He
builds near the road, to be better seen
by the passers-by, and his only fence is
low paling, as light and open as posi-
BILE. The Englishman likes to eat and
drink in private-shut up in his room or
a close little box. The American pre-
fers large, gay dining room, and the
presence of many guests. What has he
to be ashamed of? He wishes to see
and be seen. He suns himself in the
public gaze. He enjoys society, and en-
tiers into the life around him. The more
the merrier. The larger the hotel, the
bigger the steamboat, the more people
around him, the greater his enjoyment.
On the railway an Englishman's ideal is
to be shut up alone, or, at the most, with
his little private party. He has taken
the coach with two seats facing each
other, so that half the passengers must
ride backward. as the model of his rail
way carriage. The American prefers his
spacious and handsome car with its fifty
passengers. He likes to walk through
the tram and find some one he knows.
He is not afraid of intruding, is grega-
rious and social-ready to discuss trade
or politics with stranger without but
toning up his peck Is. He is not afraid
that some one below his rank will claim
his acquaintance. He shakes hands
with the President, and discusses the
coming election with the blacksmith or
shoemaker. He calculates to treat every
well-behayed man like gentleman, and
every woman is to him lady, to whom
he is courteous, respectful, and if need
be protective.

Our NAVY.

The NaUal Register, just out, gives
the United States quite a formidable
array of war vessels and guns on paper.
OF different ships there are 143, with an
aggregate tonnage OF 145, 40 tons, and
armament of l, 1919 guns. In this aggre-
cation the Yantic, which left her guns
at Cape Town because her timbers were
so rotton that to attempt to bring them
home would be perilous, is reckoned.
The Yantic is only an example. All our
naval authorities agree that the United
States navy is formidable only on paper,
and no amount of official registering
will strengthen it.-Ecchange.

One Way TO Kill or Insects.

A method of DISCRIMINATING insect pests
which feed upon plants useful to man,
first suggested by some of the agricult-
ural societies of this country, has been
brought forward for Legislative support
in Great Britain. Most of the vegetable
feeding insects are restricted in their
food to one kind of plant, and that plant
is rarely perennial. If, then, it is
reasoned, farmers forbear throughout a
wide district to raise for one year the
crop which is annually destroyed by the
insects, the food of the pest cannot be
found, and next year the crop can be
cultivated with increased profit. Com
bined action on the part OF the farmers
is essential to thu success of this ex-
terminating process, and hence the ne
cessity of law compelling all within a
given area TO desist from producing an
infected plant when called upon.

Killed by Lightning Mt the Dinner
Table.

The family of j. p Garrison, living
near Bonneville, Ind, had taken dinner
under shade-tree in the yard, near the
house, and Immediately after dinner the
men-folks of the family went to the
woods near by, while Mrs. Garrison
went to neighbours, in sight, on an
errand, leaving her son, named Black,
and Mrs. Wesley Stephens, a visitor.
While she was absent storm suddenly
arose, and while Mrs. Stephens and the
boy were in the act of clearing up the
dishes the lightning struck them. Both
were seen by Mrs. Garrison to fall, as
she was hurrying home from the neigh
boris house, and describes the flash as
about as long as the arm. On reaching
the spot she found both lying very near
each other, but unconscious. She car
ried the lad into the house, who lived
but few seconds, while the woman only
opened her eyes and expired. Mrs.
Stephens was about % years of age, and
leaves husband and two children, one
of the latter only months old. The
boy Black was the son of Mrs. Garrison
by former husband, and about ID years
of age. Neither the bodies nor clothing
were torn or broken in any way, and no
trace of the effects of the lightning could
be discovered either upon the tree,
house or ground, and it is presumed that
the dishes and cutlery upon the table at
tracted the electric fluid. The bodies of
the unfortunate victims turned very
black almost Immediately.

In ROumania.

The peasants of Roumania are garner
ing their wheat and Indian corn while
the harvest of death is going on in Bull
garia. They live in villages, and there
are no scattered houses dotting the land
scape, 80 that one may travel for miles
over the fiat, grain-covered parties and
not see a single human habitation. A
correspondent of the London Times de-
scribes the effect upon the traveller as
wearisome, especially when the sun
shines like fiery furnace, and the roads
are covered with several inches of fine
dust. The villages are collections of
mud huts, covered with matches of a
species of reed TO the thickness OF
two feet. The houses are nearly desti-
tute of furniture, and the principal food
of the peasants is Indian-corn meal
mixed with water and half baked into a
species of rough pudding. The average
Roumanian peasant is enaciated and
watery-eyed; he looks abiect and stupid;
he has none CT the sturdiness of figure,
brightness of eye, or healthy appear
ance of the Bulgarian or Servian peasant.

A Hot Place.

The Virginia New Enterprise of the
4th inst. says: 1.-THE Savage incline, at
n point near the water, is so hot as to be
almost beyond human endurance. But
for their shirts the skin of the men
would be blistered as though 10y a Jet of
scalding steam. A man from the mine,
who was in DIR. Conn's office yesterday,
showed blister on his arm that was
nearly as large as n mans hand. This
blister was caused by exposing his arm
at the bottom of the incline. 1t is so
hot down at the water that in screwing a
nut on khe end of bolt one man would
be able to do no more than fasten a
monkey-wrench upon it before he would
be obliged to retreat. Another would
then descend and give the wrench two
or three turns, when he would fall back

Ten Soldiers Die of Disease for Every
One Killed.

During the Crimean campaign of one
year and half, 341, 900 men were
buried in the district of Taurida, which
includes the Crimea. The Russians
lost 10000 soldiers; the English,
French, and Turks, $4,000; and there
were $1,000 Tartor victims. Of this
total, 324, 800 were inferred in the Cri-
mea, including 2lO, 900 in the neighbor-
hood of Sebastopol. Those killed in
battle were about 10000, and, al
lowing an equal number from the losses
from wounds, 2Sl 900 must have sue
cumbed from disease. The deaths of
sick persons sent away from the seat of
war were about 10000 more, which
makes the number of dead from the
Crimean campaign alone over 410, 900.
IL will be seen from the above calcutta
