A Newspaper Wonder.

The ADVOCATE, Greenback Labor paper,
published in New York, has created marked
excitement among publishers. 1t was begun
in May, 1875, as a local paper at Spring Valley.
Rockland County, and ON January LIST, 1877,
removed to New York. The first issue in that
year was 43S copies, using twenty-five pounds
OF white paper, postage fifty cents, while the
issue of May I'D instant was $4,000, using
near nine tons of white paper and paying $500
postage. This has been done by discreet but

months of June, July, August and September,

Sniffen, 81 and 80 Astor House, N. Y. puts its

The extent to which science has
forced its way in the ordinary modes of
life is very singular. Very lately the
Berlin Verein fur Gewerbefieiss''
awarded prize to Prof r. Weber for
his Investigations into the causes of
mill fires. He has shown that all sorts
of flour in dust-clouds are inflammable,
and he confirms the results obtained by
Mr.. Galloway, that some of the explo-
sions in coal mines, supposed to DO due
to fire-damp, have really been caused
by clouds of coal-dust. Closely follow
ing these results was the great mill-fire
in Minnesota, the other day, in which
the investigation of some eminent
American scientists, who probably had
never heard Of the learned German
Professors inquiries and deductions.
reached similar conclusions, attributin9
the conaagrati0n to the inflammabilitv
of flour in dust-clouds. This goes far
to show the accuracy of science when
examined by competent, practical in.
quirers. phja Press.

The idea is somewhat prevalent even
among farmers, that the products of
the garden require soil different from
that of the farm. This is dclusion; any
soil that will grow good crops of corn,
hay, wheat or potatoes, will grow good
crops of almost any variety of fruit or
vegetables, only, Of course, the higher
the cultivation in either case, the more
satisfactory will be the crop. What the
extent of a farmers garden should be,
must be decided by his wants or means
of culture, though it may be laid down,
rs a general rule, that one-fourth of an
acre, or space 100 by 100 feet, would
be ample for the requirements of an Or
binary sized family.
For convenience, the kitchen garden
should be near the dwelling, and if APP
pearances enter anything into consid-
Grafton, it would he better placed ut
the rear than the front of the house.
When there is room to use the pillow
and harrow in preparing the ground
for the garden crop, these will always
do the work more thoroughly than the
spade. Even in preparing the ground
for our most delicate towering plants
we always use the plows in prefer
ence to the spade when it is practicable
to do SO.
Independent of the pleasure that the
farmer may derive from his garden of
fruits or flowers, there is no doubt that
in many cases it leads to business far
more profitable than his crops of the
farm, in our growing country. Towns
and villages spring into existence
where a decade before was only an un-
peoplcd waste, and the shop-keeper,
mechanic or artisan is glad to buy the
surplus the farmer may have from his
overlooking garden. This l know to
be the fact in scores of instances where
the business of nurserymen, market
gardener or florist, was, as it were,
forced upon the farmer by his village
neighbors desiring to buy the products
of lis garden. Here is a case some
what in point: the original proprietor
Of one Of the largest seed houses in the
City of New York emigrated from Scot
land some time about the beginning of
the present century; he was a mailer by
trade and was entirely ignorant of any
thing pertaining to seeds or gardening,
but one day coming through the
BOwery, then half farm, half city, he
saw a rose bush in cottage window.
1t was a rose in the wilderness, for
probably there were not score more
in the then City of New York-he went
in and bought it for fifty cents, took it
home, painted the pot green, and,
placing it in the window of his nail
shop, quickly sold it for dollar. This
was easier work and better pay than
Matchmaking, SO he started out daily
buying plants of all kinds, always paint
ing the pots green-(a practice by the
way that modern science would frown
at)-and doubling his money rapidly.
From plants the transition to dealing
in seeds was natural and easy, so thai
in less than twenty years from the
time this humble Scotch nail-maker
had purchased his first rose bush in the
Bowery, his seed house had become the
largest on this continent.-Pster Hen.

People who are living on hope and
small loans, ON the strength of being
heirs to English estates, may be in
terested to learn that under the laws
of England, as explained by learned
English solicitor, title which has
been undisputed for sixty years is as good
as if it extended back 1000 years.
Nothing whatever can upset such a
title, and, therefore, no deed dating
back further than that need be shown.
In ordinary cases twenty years. title is
all-sufficient, since no suit in eiectment
can be maintained dating back longer
than twenty years, unless the claimant
has been a minor, lunatic, or an alb
sentee from the country. In any of
these three cases suit can be brought,
or if fraud can be shown; but if 9TH
erwise, not. In reply to a question as
to whether rights Of Inheritance would
be obliterated at the end of sixty years
if the heirs had been out of the coun-
try. the same authority replied that no
title whatever could be set up after a
lapse Of sixty years: no Court could
even place such suit on it's dockets.

away and gave me to Pedro.''
After few days Jack resolved to
breach the subject to Pedro himself.
The poor old Spaniard was very reti-
cent at first, but Jack was SO kind to
him that at last he told in his broken
English how it was that Chispa came
under his care and keeping.
A man, a brother street musician of
Pedro's, a rascally sort of fellow, had
died two years before; and, having no
relatives, gave Chispa and the organ
to him. He said that as he was stroll
ing about the country in one of the
Eastern States, he heard the little boy
sing, and stole him away, leaving some
of his clothes on a river bank near
which the boys parents lived, and
where he sometimes played, SO that
they should be made to believe that the
boy had been drowned. He brought
him to California in q sailing vessel,
and had but just begun to reap the
harvest of "bits'' that the sweet sing
ing of this cunning little fellow brought
him in, when Bartolome, for that was
the stroller's name, was fatally stabbed
by an Infatuated Chinaman in street
fight. He lived long enough to send
for Pedro, to whom he gave his organ
and the custody of the little boy, as he
had said.
Pedro had too little knowledge of our
language at that time to make any in.
quiries about the child's parentapo,
had he wished to do so; and 1 am In.
clined to think that he did not. fol
BartOlome's possession in shane al
little Chispa, with his rare beauty and
wonderful voice drawing crowds Of
listeners, had been the envy of the
whole brotherhood of n-grinders.
After making Jack promise that nc
harm should befall him in any event
Pedro took from q small leather bao
that was tied around his body a little
casket, to which was attached a slender
gold chain, and gave it to Jack. On the
1ocket was engraved, "Bertie Terhune
Newark, N. j."
Jack could write after . fashion with
his false hand, and he now sat down
and wrote out the facts as intelligently
and explicitly as was possible in the
form OF . letter, and disected it, "To
the Parents Of Berthe Terhune, Newark,
IN. T." -, - 80 =
= This was before there was telegraph
between California and the Eastern
States, or the great Pacific railroad had
been built; SO Jack knew he would
have to wait long time for an answer
to come by the next steamer. He
