The Burning OF Moscow.

The burning of Moscow, in 1912, is
one of the most noted conflagrations on
record, not only on account of its mag
nitU de, but for its historical importance.
The French entered the city Sept. 14th,
Napoleon proposing to make it his win
ter quarters. On that very day several
fires broke out, but little attention was
paid to them by the invading army until
the next two days, when they had ac-
quired great headway. On the 18th
high wind arose and the flames spread
rapidly in every direction. By the 18th,
the whole city appeared sea of flame
and by the evening of the Goth, nine
tenths of it was reduced to ashes. The
total number of buildings destroyed is
stated at between 1900 and Is, 900. The
Russians at the time, in order to cast
odium on the French, attributed this
confiagration to the orders of Napoleon.
1t is now, however, generally acknowl-
edged that the fires were the work of the
Russians themselves, and that they were
k1ndled by orders of the Governor, Ros-
topt chin acting beyond all doubt under
the sanction of the Emperor Alexander,
without which it is hardly conceivable
that the Governor would have ventured
such step. The object was to deprive
the French army of sheltering from the
winter. Ample precautions had been
taken to insure the entire destruction of
the city. Infammable materials were
placed in deserted mansions in every
quarter, and the torch was applied
simultaneously all over the city. In
burning the French out of their propos-
ed winter quarters, no provision had
been made for the safety of the inhabi-
tants. who were driven to seek shelter
in the surrounding woods. 1t is affirm
ed that more than 10000 sick end
wounded perished in the flames. The
direct less TO the French is put down at
10000, and beyond this, it in the end,
involved the retreat in the dead of win
ter, and the almost complete annihi'a-
ton OF the great French army. This
| act, which the Russians at the time re:
pudiated is now considered by them as
their highest glory, the greatest example
IN history of national self sacrifice fol
the destruction of an invader.

For the SPECTATOR.
A Slander Refuted.

SHELBINA, Mo-, September 21st 1878.
EdatO7 Spectator Through letter
form friend 1 learn that there is q re-
port being circulated in your county to
the effect that my son, John HI. Ken
nerly, had been implicated with James
N. RAIDER and John Ramsey in some
crime in this State (Missouri) or in Illi-
nois, on account of which RAIDER COM
mitted suicide, and that said John H.
Kennerly had attempted to kill himself,
but had failed, and was arrested, con
victed and is now under sentence of
death.
The whole story is baseless fabrica-
tion. john H. Kennerly left Virginia
the first of April, 1877. at which time
RAIDER and Ramsey were still at their
homes in Augusta county, Virginia, and
came to this place without halt of an
hour, remained in this town, in bust
ness, until last February, when he went
to Saline county, in this State, and re-
mained until the first of August, when
he returned to this town and is now the
clerk in the Waverly Hotel.-the best
Hotel in North East Missouri where he
can be seen at any day by any one desir-
ing to see him.,
He has to my certain knowledge new
er seen either RAIDER or Ramsey
since he left Virginia, nor do I believe
that either RAIDER or Ramsey were ever
west of the Mississippi River, and know
that John III. Kennerly never was in
the Estate of Illinois, save one time in
passing on the cars with his mother
through the State to this place.

INFLUENCE OF GAsLIGHT ON THE
EYE.-The German Minister of Instruc-
ton has recently issued a report on the
influence of gaslight on the eye. The
conclusion arrived at is that no evil re-
suits follow a moderate use of gas, if the
direct action of the yellow flame on the
eye is prevented. For this purpose
screens or shades are employed. Grave
objections, however, exist to the use of
zinc or lead shades, most evils affecting
the eye being traceable to them. Their
use, it is said, inevitably tends to blind
ness or Inflammation, and other harm
fal effects. The milky-white glass shade
is the best. as it distributes the light and
has grateful effect on the eye. The
burner should not be too close to the
head, as congestions of the forehead and
headaches result from the radiated heat.
The glass plate below the gas, employed
in some places, is especially useful for
the purpose, as it causes an equal dis
tribution of the light-necessary where
a number are working at one burner
prevents the radiation of heat, and tends
to steady illumination by shielding
the flames from currents of air. In ca
ses of highly inflamed eyes, dark blue
globes can be very beneficially employ
ed. With precautions of this kind, no
effects from the burning of gas need be
feared.

In old colonial times there was Judge
noted for his indecision Of decisions,
and who would overrule himself with.
out mercy. When new clerk of the
court came into Office he was annoyed
by the frequency with which the Judge
took recess and went for an airing in a
neighboring grove. The clerk on one
occasion followed him, and from a safe
ambush saw the iurist toss up shining
silver dollar and mutter, "Heads it's
plaintiff and tails it's defendant" when
the mystery of all prior indecisions and
overrulings was solved. Secretary
Sherman seems to have laid this juridi-
cal lesson to heart, and to have spun the
silver dollar every few days to deter
mine his fiscal policy. Was he in doubt
as to whether he wrote the Jenks-We eber
letter only because he had not yet taken
a recess so as to throw ups coin with
Heads I wrote it and tails didn't ?'-

Mulching is the process of spreading
q substance, not good conductor, on
the surface of the ground to prevent
the, moisture escaping thercfrom.
Trees, shrubbery, etc, newly trans
planted, should without delay be
thoroughly mulched to insure success.
Rotten straw from the barn-yard, or
decayed chips from the wood-pile, an
swer good purpose. This not only
answers the purpose indicated above,
but prevents weeds or grass from In
terfering with the steady growth OF
the trees. Raspberry, blackberry and
strawberry plants require this to in
sure large, juicy and delicious fruits.
In their native wilderness they seek
these conditions, and succeed in no
other. With this care which requires
but little labor, the soil retains its fer
tility for longer time, is kept cooler,
and the conditions of moisture kept
more evenly supplied, which will give
the plants more uniform growth. and

AS hen may be expected to lay
about IL dozen of eggs, weighing is
pounds, and to consume 60 pounds OF
corn in the year, it follows that for
each pound of eggs, three pounds of
corn are used. There is no other ami
NAL product afforded SO cheaply. Five
pounds of corn costs now about six
cents, and dozen eggs, which are the
product of that quantity of corn, are
worth on an average during the year,
20 cents. A brood of 10 chicks may
be brought to weight of two pounds
each upon a bushel of mixed corn and
wheat,so that 20 pounds Of live weight

The seeds of most of our worst an
nual weeds, such as pig-weed. green
amaranth, fox-tail, rag-weed and mus
tard, are quite small, and will not
grow if buried in compact soil over
an inch in depth. This is the reason
that when the ground once becomes
infested, ii takes so long to eradicate
them. The blowing and the harrow
ing must be repeated many times, I'M
til every part of the soil, down as far
as the plow reaches, is successfully ex-
posed to the action Of the air. In this
way crop after crop Of weeds is de-
stroyed, until the soil is purged OF
them.

As Food.

Our experience is TO cut sweet pota-
TO vines when they cover the ground,
leaving about twelve inches near the
ground. They are very hard to cure,
but with patience it may be done. But
the very best that can be done with
them is to feed green, when they make
the very best feed for horses, mules,
and hogs. They are, thus fed, espec-
tally fine for mich cows. After they
have been frost bitten we think it
would not be worth while to save
them. They may be piled up on a
fence or any place else, where they
will ventilate, and they will cure in
from a week to ten days, but general
with the loss of the leaves. But the
best time to feed them is when they
are green.-Atldnta Constitution.

When to Cut Timothy.

Timothy grass should be cut just as
soon as it is entirely out of blossom.
At this time the new bulbs which
form Just at the top of the ground are
in a sufficient state of forwardness so
that the bottom growth will not be
checked. When clover is mixed with
the timothy the bay should be cut
when the timothy is in proper condi-
ton. Timothy should not be cut SO
close as any of the other grasses, since
hot, dry weather succeeding is apt to
iniure the bulbs at the base OF the
stalk, upon which the succeeding
years crop depends. -Fdrmer.
