ANDREW JACKSON DAVIS says that,
on January Is, 1877, he had ssa tel
escopic clairvoyant view " of the planet
Jupiter, and was able to observe the in
habitants. He adds: s.My attention
was suddenly attracted to massive as
semblage of men, women, and children,
walking about beneath bright sky, and
performing peculiar acts; the majority
of the host walking in an inclined posi-
ton, and very many of them actually
using their hands also in accomplishing
locomotion. And yet, compared with
the bodily appearance of many tribes on
earth, their physical forms were exceed
ingly handsome, and their intelligence
was quite spiritual and commanding !"
He was informed-he does not tell how
that these people were engaged in a
religious ceremony.
A GATHERING of 20 murderers is not
common thing. That number of In
dams, from the Cheyenne Agency, have
for two years been kept in the famous
old fort at St. Augustine, Fla, and each
had murdered one or more persons
when he was sent away for an expert
ment in reformation. A correspondent
of the Springfield Republicans, who has
recently visited them, says: "Their
faces, though by no means attractive,
one is not likely soon to forget. Inever
saw fierce passions SO indelibly marked
upon countenances as in the faces of
these Indians. It was easy to see that
they had been ugly brutes, whose re-
creation was torture and butchery,
and yet the beginnings of . better life
had discovered and called forth"

THE FATAL FIT.
A Young Man in Continual Torture for
Fifteen Years is Only Relieved by
Death.


Fifteen Years is Only Relieved by
Death.
From the Evansville Journal.
George Miller, of Princeton, died
last Friday night, after fifteen years of
the most hideous and tortured life that
one could well imagine. No matter
how wonderful the flight of fiction,
there is now and then some true story
coming to the surface which puts 1t to
shame and sets all philosophers agog
with amaZement.
The history of George Miller is one
Of horrible strangeness, and is the most
remarkable we have ever heard. Fiji
teen years ago, when Miller was 10
years of age, he was suddenly sliced
with an epileptic fit, and ever since
then he has been subject to them.
They came frequently, and with fear
full power and effect. The utmost skill
of physicians was excited in vain to
relieve him; his affliction baff1ed all of
them.
Ten years from the date of his first
attack he became insane and very dan
gerous, not only to strangers, but to his
friends and family also. His case was
incurable, and he could not be received
into the asylum. For two years he was
chained fast to his room to prevent him
from doing any damage. But during
the remaining thcee years of his poor
life no chains were needed for the in
siduous disease fas claimed him.
The muscles of his legs contracted so
that his knees were drawn up within an
,oh Of h1d oh l>yo
drawn and distorted in most horrible
manner. By this time he had become
almost wild beast. His tortured mind
was unlit by ray of reason. All
human instinct even was gone. His
appetite became ravenous and horrible.
He would at times, when hun
ger was upon him, seize a bed
blanket or quilt and tear it to pieces
like an animal, devouring the shreds
as if they were digestible food. He
would again tear his own flesh, and it
was with difficulty that he was restrain
ed from eating bis own flesh.
Death finally released him from a
condition as miserable as hell itself,
and on Friday he died easily, we under
stand. DR.. S. HI. Shoptaugh held s. post
mortem examination of the body Sun
day, and found in the left ventricle OF
the heart a lump of fat two inches long
and a quarter of an inch thick. The
gaul bladder was diseased by an en-.
largement, the right lobe of the liver
was enlarged, and other arrangements
of his functionary organs. 1t was Ger.
tainly the most remarkable case on re-
cord.

Roup-A Good Remedy.

This is, perhaps, the greatest scourge
that the poultry breeder has to contend
with; but with the care and attention
that fowls are receiving at the present
day, this disease is becoming less fire.
quent. The disease may be prevented
by proper sanitary regulations, and
judicious housing and feeding. The
requirements necessary to its proven
ton are well ventilated houses, where
the fowls are not exposed to any drafts.
The symptoms are various; sometim es
the first symptom is a sneeze; the eyes
or nostrils, or both, are discharging a
thin, watery substance, which gradually
thickens as the disease develops, until
it becomes white and mattery, emitting
a very offensive odor. In other cases,
the eyes and head become swollen and
infamed. In either case there will be
more or less discharge from the eyes or
nostrils, and also a feverish condition
after the disease becomes we'll seated,
the birds appearing sluggish, with a
gradual wasting away. The first step
should be to transfer the fowls to a
warm and dry room, and the water
fountains should be disinfected, as also
the feed boxes, to prevent others from
taking the disease. Give the diseased
fowls each a dose of castor oil, one
tablespoonful, and afterward admins
ter the following, viz: Olive oil on o.,
gum camphor one drachm, carbolic
acid twelve drops; take spring bot
tom oil can, Sewing machine is best)
hold the affected bird firmly, open the
mouth and inject drop or two in the
slit in the roof of the mouth, on and
under the tongue and in each nostril
the amount to be given and the fire.
quency of application must be deter
mined according to the severity of the
case. In mild cases, one application,
morning and evening, will be sufficient,
but IN severe from three to five appli-
cations daily. Use the "Douglass mix
ture' freely in the drinking water. Ii
any ulcers are found in the mouths,
apply burnt alum and honey by swao-
blng out the mouth with rag. If the
head or eyes are swollen, bathe them
twice day with Labarraque's solution,
diluted in twice the quantity of water,
or if the discharges are copious battle
oftener. Continue this treatment
until recovered. In the absence OF
other remedies, I should try, with
strong hopes of success, the sulphur
fumigation. Do not return the fowls
that have been cured of the roup to
the general yard for some days after
recovery.

provement until the past season, when
there was change for the better. On
examining it was found that the ground
beneath the manure was filled with
small, new roots, which the tree had
been sending out freely into the rich
soil. Those trees which had been
MANFRED farther from the trunk gave
evidence of improvement the second
year. We CLEAN these statements
from an article by Prof. w. ]. Beal in
the Colnt7'u Gentleman. 1t is to be
hoped that every thinking orchardist
knows that cultivation of orchards, to
be OF any advantage, must be general,
that is, all the ground must be worked.
We have no objection to growing any
cultivated crop in an orchard as long as
it may be profitable and convenient to
do SO. The crop will not I'M ure the
trees if the ground is we'll filled and the
soil kept up in fair condition. To cul-
tivate small circle around g. large
apple tree to demonstrate the result is
like laboring to prove q self-evident
proposition, and about as profitable.
Are we never to have anything decided
and settled? Quite as needless is the
pastime of leaving a patch of grass en-
circling the tree. Suppose we propose
to a corn-grower to leave the weeds
around the hills of corn in few rows,
just to ascertain the result that we may
declare it to science? Would he deem
such an experiment necessary to guide
him In corn growing?
We imagine that in fruit tree culture
some rules are established, and well
known to fruit growers. Among them
are these: Orchard ground must be
cultivated throughout but not deep
enough to injure the main roots. To
produce wood and fruit the ground
must be annually replenished with
varied and appropriate fertilizers.
Hoed crops are better for the trees
than no crop at all. In pear growing,
on rich soils, some spring crop is, we
affirm, absolutely essential to be grown
among the trees, otherwise there will be
too great a flow Of sap-beyond the
power Of the leaves to assimilate. It is
always best to grow some spring crop
among trees if we are consulting the
health and vigorous development of
the trees; excepting oats, rye and
wheat. These rules are established
and settled and need no further exper-
imenting in order to prove them

A Terrible Sentence

The dispatches have already fully de-
tailed the particulars of murder of a
man named Smith, at Saginaw, Mich,
by one Cragin, who was hired for 5000
to do the killing, the money being fur
nished by Mrs. Smith, in order that
she might live with her lover. The
judge sentenced him as follows:
Your past life must have prepared
you for such deed. Your only hope
is that some time the Executive may
commute your sentence so that you
may be permitted once more to see the
sunlight and to work in the shop with
other convicts. But until then you
will be consigned to a living tomb, and
not allowed to see even the face of your
keeper, but remain wholly unseen in a
loathsome dungeon and fed there by
unseen hands. It is fearful thought.
1t is to be hoped that during your con-
finement you may so change, if change
be possible, that you may become q
better man, and that you may be
shown more mercy than you showed
your poor victim when he pleaded in
vain with you for Gods sake to spare
his life.

Orchard Culture.

In some experiments with apple
trees at the Agricultural College farm,
the conclusions reached are, that each
tree seems to have some characteristics
peculiar to itself. So far on an average
the trees in grass have grown slower,
shed their leaves earlier, and have
borne less quantity of more highly
colored fruit.
Digging small circles about the trees,
and keeping the ground cultivated
within that area, has had but little eff
feet, if any. The trees which were al
lowed to remain in grass, did not en-
dure the cold winters of 1873 and 1875
any better than those where the ground
was cultivated. Some of the trees in
both classes were injured, those in grass
rather more than those with spaces cul-
tivated about them. The tree which
had manure piled closely around it in
the spring of 1873 gave no signs of I'M

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
Apples for Dairy Cows.

Prof. L. B. Arnold discusses this
subject in his usual intelligent style in
the following communication to the
New York Tribune:
Apples are an excellent food for
mich COWS, as they are for all other
stock when fed in proper quantity
They give an excellent flavor to milk,
and the butter and cheese made from
it, and increase the yield of either. A
few observant farmers have for 8 long
time been aware of the the fact that
apples and other fruit are valuable and
healthy food for stock, mich COWS in
cluded, and have been in the habit of
utilizing their inferior fruit by feeding
it, and the many are beginning to learn
its value and are yearly feeding more
and more of such fruit as is not fit for
market. The quantity which may be
fed protitably varies with the size and
constitution Of the animal fed. A good
healthy cow weighing 1000 pounds can
safely eat q peck of apples twice day,
and smaller animals in proportion. The
quantity should never be SO large as to
produce either securing or feverishness.
In either case more harm than good
will be done by feeding them. The
feeder should begin with not more than
half rations, and gradually increase the
amount, carefully noting the effect.
Taking the appetite of animals as a
guide, it is not best to feed either sweet
or sour exclusively If but one kind
could be used, sweet would be the best,
but stock prefer to change from one to
the other, or to have them mixed at the
rate of two sweet to one sour. Either
kind will be readily eaten by COWS,
though a mixture is preferred, and it
is believed to be best for them
The best method of feeding is to slice
them In rOot-cutter and feed in the
stable. The value Of apples as milk
producing food, varies with the cir
cumstances under which they are fed,
reference being had to the quantity of
milk which given quantity of apples
will produce. They are pretty nearly
but not quite equal to potatoes for this
purpose When COWS come into milk
in spring and their milk is not allowed
to shrink by drought Or scanty food be-
yond what it naturally would by dis.
lance from time Of coming in, apples
fed in the fall as an extra feed, and
tdkeu pIOLnISCuOUSiy DIS Iuoy usually
grow, with sweet and sour mixed, will
increase the milk in quantity and rich
ness SO much as to give pound of
cheese from q bushel of apples, or q
pound of butter from two bushels and
half, peck per day to cow being
consumed. If fed to COWS nearly dry
or to those otherwise scantily fed, so
that the substance of fruit is employed
to make fat or flesh, the increase in the
yield or milk will be less. If they are
full fed, and have more recently come
In, they will give better return than
shove stated.
To be fed advantageously to COWS,
fruit must be dealt out with care and
judgment. If fed little too freely,
the result will be loss, instead of a
profit. When judicioasly fed, any kind
of fruit, and particularly apples, not
only increase the amount and richness
of milk, but gives delicious flavor to
both butter and cheese beyond that
given by grass alone.

Buried Treasure.
From the Springfield GILL; Register


Some weeks ago Levi Harbour, of
Berlin, this county, died. He was a
very old man, and as he had lived fru-
gally, it was thought by his friends and
neighbors that he had accumulated
money of which he made no mention,
and of which his family had no know
ledge. Shortly after his burial, search
was begun for the treasure, which it
was considered almost certain he had
left. For days the search proved fruit
less, but at last a smoke-house floor was
raised, and men set about digging into
the earth beneath it. Finally, two large
stone jars were struck. They were
raised from their resting place and ex-
amined, when they were found to be
filled with silver coin, some of it a CEN
fury old, and of ''uniq ue novel and
curious workmanship" There was, it
is averred, "about half bushel of it,"
confined in buckskin sacks, which fell
to pieces on being handled. The coin
was brought to the city, and was count
ed in one of the banks, and was found
to aggregate $2,O26. It is now thought
that there is a ''plant" of gold some
where about the premises, and search
for it is being vigorously prosecuted.

The gray arch crumbles,

The bat has built in the banquet hall,
In the dopiOn-keep
Sly MOSES creep;
The ivy has scaled the southern wall.
No man alarms
Sounds quick alarms
Atop of the cracked martellO tower:
The drawbridge chain
Is broken in twain:
The bridge will neither rise nor lower,
Not any manner
Of broidered banner
Flaunts at blazoned herald's call.
Lilies float
In the stagnant moat,
And fair they are, and tall.
Here in the old
Forgotten springs
Was wassail held by queens and kings.
Here at the board
Sat clown and lord,
Maiden fair and lover bold,
Baron fat and minstrel lean,
The prince with his stars,
The knight with his scars,
The priest in his gabardlne.
Where is she
Of the fleur-de-lls.
And that true knight who wore her cages
Where are the glances
That bred wild fancies
In curly heads of my lady's pages?
Where are those
Who, in steel or hose,
Held revel here and made them gay
Where is the laughter
That shook the rafter-
Where ia the rafter by the way
Gone is the roof,
And perched aloOf
Is an owl, like a friar of orders gray.
