A NEVADA PHENoMENoN.-The Vir-
ginia New Enfesprise says that much
excitement was recently created in that
city by one of the strangest phenomena of
:Se eentary. At first it had the appear
anoe ofsparks of fire coming up. through
the pools of water beside the street.
These sparks seemed to explode on
reaching the surface, in many instances
producing reports loud enough to be
heard across the street, and being accom-
panied by little cloud of smoke and
emitting daGidadlv snlnhnrora smell.
After watching these performances fer a
long time, and tracing them all along the
street, It began to be noticed that they
occurred only on, one side and that under
the telegraph wires. This led to closer
examination, when the following suS.
posed solution was arrived at. The sparks
seemed to be caused by. drops of water
falling from the wires, which exploded
when striking the pools of water, with
the effect above mentioned. This solu.
tion was seeningly confirmed by the fact
that when the wirea became dry the
phenomenon ceased. Tmcrc still remains
70 bu o4piainu1, however, Why, under the
circumstances, such results should follow
the falling Of the water drops from the
wires.

Cur THIS OUr.-Every person should
know how to treat fresh wound. Every
one is liable to be placed in circum-
stances away from any s.:gical and ve-
terinary aid, where ha may save his own
life, or friend, ora beast, simply by the
exercise of little sense. In the first
r'ace, close the lips of the wound with
the hands and hold them firmly together
to check tho flow of the blood until
several stitches can be taken and band
age applied. Then bathe the wound for
long time in cool water. "Shou!d it be
painful" correspondent says, "take a
painful cf burning Goals and sprinkle
upon them common brown sugar, and
hold the wound in the smoke. In u
minute or two tho pain will be allaycd,
and the recovery proceeds rapidly. In
my case rusty nail had made bad
wound in my foot. The pains and nerv-
c'a irritation were severe. This was all
removed by holding it in the smoke ff-
teen minutes, and / was able to resume
my reading with comfort. We have Of

result. Last week one of my men had

to be expected. Held in sugar sH:a!;;e

SITTING -HESs.-It is a great mistake
to suppose that hen must sit on her
nest of eggs all the time, except fifteen
or twenty minutes each day, to hatch hor
chicks. No one accustomed to the man.
agement of fowls would ever place nest
where it would be exposed to a strong
wind from any point Of the compass, but
the sitting-hen should be- put in some
kind of an inclosure. o box or barrel at
least; then tho box OF coal-ashes Ito
which q handful of Stoddards Carbolic
Powder has been added) would be handy,
so that when she comes off she need not
be disturbed, but left entirely to her own
instinct to determine when she shall 20
on again. Sitters will almost invariably
stay away from their nests longer in hot
weather than in cold, which shows that
they know what they are about, and will
bring out their chicks if left to regulate
their own time.
We have known hens to be off their
nests four or five hours at time, on
very hot day, without injury to the eggs;
on the contrary, we feel sure of the
necessity of such prolonged absence, to
give the eggs 4 thorough airing. The
she'll being porous shows the necessity of
air for incubation, and ventilation is
needed where temperature runs up to $50
and upwards, or the CHICKS viii be feeble
and liable to disease. Experience is the
best teacher, and we have learned these
thingsuby experiments in the last thirty
years.--PouNry World.

MIXED DHUsBANpRY.-The farmer who
keeps TOO much of his land in tillagc
find. the agreeable yield of his crops d.
minishing every year until finally the
soil becomes completely impoverished,
and he pulls up stakes, seeks some other
location, and continues the process of
exhaustion. BY adopting system of
mixed husbandry and keeping greater
part of the farm in we'll managed grass,
farmer can have dairy products, beef,
pork, mutton, and wool to depend on, in
stead of waiting a whole year for the
proceeds Of a crop of wheat, AMI then
finding out that the yield is poor and the
price low, VILE debts and demands are
gathering bulk by delay. a farmer who
keeps the greater portion of lis land in
grass of the best quality can winter q
large number of stock, make abundance
of manure, increase the fertility of his
land and raise abundant crops of every
kind. Having many sources of revenue
he is enabled to meet every demand and
save money beside.

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Agriculture the Nations Wealth.

A popular writer has beth0ught him
that tho road to revival of cur national
prosperity lies through the development
of our agricultural resources. He sees
now that every other profession is so
ovcr-crowded as to hurl, in times of
scarcity, vast mobs Of idle, lawless people
upon the cities and towns for SUPPORT
we say lawless because hunger knows no
law-the most law-abiding people in the
land become outlaws when driven to
desperation by famine. "The sins of the
fathers are visited upon the children"
Those thrifty farmers who thought to
place their sonsin better society iiial they
themselves enjoyed in their youth; who
thought to put their SONS more surely on
the read to wealth and respectability, by
taking them out Of the farms and putting
them behind counters, or in lawyers and
doctors offices, have now the satisfaction
OF seeing the latter without patients and
briefs, and the former without customers.
Had these young men been encouraged
on the farm, and furnished with land, as
could have been done in most cases, many
oil tntm would to-day be prosperous far
mcrs. The commonest observation teach
cs that the nations wealth lies in its
agriculture. Neglect this. and all other
industries languish or perish. All the
other industries are but multiplied facil-
tiles for carrying OIL this. Among them
all this is the only sure one, unaffected
by foreign wars, unchanged by political
agitation. Prices may Ructuate, banks
may break, and currency fail, but God
causes the earth to yield her fruits, and
he that labors will be rewarded with
bread. What cares the farmer for low
prices, if his farm swarms with stock and
his barns swelled out with grain? Low
prices cannot effect him; he can afford to
wait for money he does not owe, and very
little money will answer his purpose
where food is abundant. So it is with
the nation. Let food DC everywhere
abundant and cheap, and the currency
may go on contracting, but the nation
will be i'll repose.
The great matter which is troubling us
now, is the alarming fact that the nom
producing classes have grown too great
and overwhelming for the producing
class. Agriculture, therefore, should be
encouraged by every possible means, both
by the national and State governments.
Let governments and parents make it as
honorable to engage in agricultural pur-
suits rs to become lawyer, doctor,
preacher, clerk, agent, drummer, tinker,
and peddieT. Let the young be taught
the real merits of an intelligent agricul-
turist, and the great disproportion be-
tween the producing and non-producing
classes will begin to diminish. The
future safety of the nation against famine
and consequent mob-rulc, demands this
at our hands. The longer we delay, the
greater will be the work to perform Let
the squandered millions by State and
municipal goyt ments be diverted into
the encouragement of agriculture. II
would accomplish wonders.

How TO INCREASE THE Flow OF
MILK.-A lady correspondent, writing
us from Arkansas, gives the following
excellent recipe 10 increase the flow of
milk in COW, and we can heartily en-
dorso it, for Nc have seen it tried. She
says: 'yrepid water slightly salted given
twice day will increase the flow Of milk
one.third if the COW will not drink il at
first trial scatter handful of bran or
mea! over the top of it. They soon be-
come very fond of it, and will drink all
you give them. tried this plan three
years ago with perfect success. / had
only one cow, and she was the common
scrub stock of the country, and after she
began to drink the water, prepared as
above, she furnished me twice day two
ordinary water buckets full of milk, and
by feeding a little corn boiled with cot
ton seed the milk yielded butter enough
to supply my table bonntifully and leave
me few pounds to sell every week. 1
gave her three gallons of water twice a
day" y."-,Suthern Industries.

But forgot, when by thy side,

ThatI On tIsee should look my last,
And thou shouldst smile no moro!
And still upon thy face look.
And think twill smile again
And still the thought will no. brook,
That must look in vain
But when speak, thou dost not say
What thou ne'cr left'st unsaid,
Alyi now feel, as we'll may,
Sweet Mary! thou art .lead9
Ifthou would'st stay even rs thou art,
All cold and all serene,
still might press thy silent heart.
And where thy smiles have been!

Thou sceincst still my own,
But there lay thee in thy grave
And am now alone

= A little bright-cycd thrcc-year-
was seated in his high chair at the dinner
table. Mamma had arranged the little
uneasy, while for the moment his spright-
illness and fun had made him the observed
Of the family. She had placed him
snugly up to the table, pinned on his bib,
and succeeded in getting the little mis-
chievous hands quiet and making him
"hush," when father proceeded to ask
the blessing. While this was in progress,
our little chubby made discovery. It
was that all the plates OIL the table, ex-
cept his own little plate, were in one pile
at "papa's place." and it seemed to him,
were put there to get the benefit of the
solemn ceremony. So, scarcely waiting
for the "Amen," he held out his own
plate i'll both hands, saying "Please,
papa, pray on my plate, too"

The OLD STORY ABOUT MARSHAL.
NEY.-Col. Thomas L. Houston, n we'll
known farmer and stock dealer, who re-
sides near Houstoni, this county, claims
to have been II pupil Of Peter Stuart Ncy,
one Of Napo.eon's greatest Marshais.
According to Ncys own words, related to
Col. Houston when mere lad, he
escaped his death sentence hy the soldiers
firing over his head. He afeigned death,
was taken in charge by his friends, dis
gulscd, and shipped as sailor from Bor-
dcaux, France, to Charleston, S. G.. In
few Yeas he removed to Rowan Coun-
ty, North Carolina, where lie taught
school for several years, portion of tllat
time boarding with Col Houston's father.
He fondly cherished the hope that Ma.
poleon's star would again rise in splendor,
and when the information of his death
reached him he acted like IL madman,
and only through persistent efforts OF
friends was prevented from committing
suicide. He left n lengthy history writ
ten in French, which was transmitted to
the New York Historical Society for
translation, but through some neglect
was never carried out. Col. Houston re-
tains several mementoes of his illustrious
prcccptor, among them his Latin Gram
mar, spcctaclcs, pocket-knifc, and several
verses of original poetry, etc Chicago
