TO SUMNER TOURISTS.

The great Jackson Route offers the greatest
Inducements to Eastern and European tray
nIers this season. 1t should be known to all
that this line has been immensely improved
during the past year. IT has, in fact, been al
most entirely rebuilt. 1t now has fine steel
rail track, laid upon new ties and an excellent
road-bed. This enables it to make as fast
time as any line to New York with entire
safety and without the appearance Of rapid
running, its connections from Cincinnati and
Chicago being among the finest roads in the
world. Attention is especially called to the fact
that the Jackson Route runs two daily trains
to New York and all the principal Eastern and
Northern cities. The train leaving Mt 6 .. m,
one hour later than any other line, makes ex-
actly the same time to New York as its
quickest rival; and the 7 a. m, train makes
one and n half hour quicker time to New
York than any other train from New Orleans.
There dre no Hrough cars 10 Mem York by any

Mr. Leon Chotteau, the delegate OF the
Paris committee, addressed the Cincinnati
Chamber Of Commerce on the third instant
In regard to q reciprocal treaty of commerce
between the United States and Francs. Mr.
Chotteau gave an interesting statement of
the burdens and restrictions placed upon the
commerce of the colonies by Great Britain,
which led to the revolution. While justifyng

Secretary Sherman has prepared bill pro-

coin in greenbacks or gold after resumption
is recognized fact. This coin Is made of de-
based silver to prevent its expectation, and
when deposited In bank Is subjected to a
heavy discount because there Is no provision
made for its redemption. 1t Is clear then that
this bill was prepared in one of Sherman's
lucid intervals.

Thunder souring Milk,

There have been various surmises in regard
to this subject. None, so far as have been
able to learn, have been substantiated by ex-
periments.
In order to learn whether milk did really
sour during heavy rains and thunder storms,
made several observations which proved to
me that this opinion, so commonly held by
the dairymen, was not erroneous. NY ex-
periments to arrive at the cause of the pheno-
mena thus observed, may be stated as fol-
lows: took skinned mornings milk, filled
an eudiometer tube (300.c c.), and introduce
ed l0Q c. C. pure oxygen gas Then bv the
use OF an ordinary battery, and a small Rnhm-
mkortf coil, sparks of electricity were made IN
pass through the oxygen for five minutes. The
current was then broken, and the tube shak-
en- up and allowed to stand for five minutes
The milk does not appear quite as OPAQUE,
and shows noticeable acid reaction. On
continuing the current for five minutes long
er, making ten minutes in all, the milk curd-
les very perceptibly, and shows a decided
acid reaction. The contents of the tube on
standing for twenty minutes has reached the
consistency of ordinary sour milk, or "bony-
clabber." From the above experiments it
will be seen that the oxygen was converted
into ozone, which we think may be stated as
the cause for the rapid souring of milk during
thunder storms. The increased acidity is due
to the formation of Tactic acid, and most prob
ably some acetic acid, by means of the ozone.

appeared as ready to drink as any animals,
and as willing to attend to it in winter as at
any season OF the year. In few instances we
have seen sheep eat considerable snow but in
all but one or two cases they almost always
drank some water very soon afterwards.
There may possibly be isolated cases in which
sheep win not care for water if they can get
plenty of snow to eat, but such cases are not
very common. If pure water is supplied
almost all sheep will drink quite often. If
deprived of water for any length of time
they will be seriously injured. The heaviest
loss of lambs which we have ever had was
one winter when the wells failed and the
the snow was so deep as to make It almost
impossible to 60 to the brooks. The ewes
gave but little milk and many of the lambs
persisted. Both the experience with our
own flock and observation of the habits of
those belonging to our neighbors convince US
that sheep ought to have free access to water
during the winter.-Dirigo Rural.

POETRY.
The Northern Lights.
A MORSE SUPERSTITION.

May. mother, nay; the pictured coal Is glowing
Duly and redly on the hearth-stone there;
ron was no flame of careless idler's throwing,
NOR rocket flashing through the startled air;
Twas but the cleaning of the Northern Lights
All, there again, they reddend Huntclif Heights.
$50 let me raise yon softly on the pillow,
See, how the crimson lustre flares and dies
Turning to red the long heave of the blow,
And thu great arch of all the starless skies;
The fishers say suRh beauty bodies them sorrow,
Telling of STERN and wind to blow tomorrow
ono child, the busy wife may bait her lines,
And net and gear lie ready for the morning
No presage in that wayering glory Shines
No doom in the rich hues now adjoining:
They do but say the lingering hours are past,
Inc gates, the golden gates unclose at last.
"Won. the long hill SO steep and dear to climb,
Done, the long task SO bitter hard in learning;
Inc tears are shed and garnersd up by time,
The heart beats freed from all its lOwly yearning;
The bar swings back. and, flooding seas and skies,
Burst out the deathless lights of Paradise.
'See see, by the great valves of pearl they stand
Friends, children, husband; see glad hands out.
reaching
For mt, fer me, the undiscovered land,
Its promise in that roseate signal teaching;
Ay, kiss me child, the lips will soon be dumb,
That yet in earthly words can say, Il come"
Again the banner of the Northern Lights
Waved broad and bright across the face of heaven
And in the cottage on the rugged heights,
The passing radiance by their glory given,
Showed a pale orphan weeping by the bed,
And the calm smiling Of the happy dead.
