CoLoRED laborers, it seems, are in de-
mand in Brazil, and application having
been made to the Labor Exchange, at
Washington, for 250 men to work on the
Madeira and Mamore Railroad, the Ex-
change invited number of colored citi-
zens to a con ference on the subject, which
took place on Saturday night. The agent
for the Messrs. Collins, of Philadelphia,
stated while Brazil was averse to allowing
colored men to settle there, special act
had been passed suspending this law, and
they would go, too, as United States Cit.

proposed to pay 81 so per day and pay the
expense Of the passage out and back, pro-
vided that they stay two years.

The month Of May has not for years
seen the general crops of the country in so
advanced condition and making such
gratifying promises of abundant yield
An exceptionally open Winter, followed
by an early Spring, has set forward pl
ing and sowing by from three to five
weeks; kindly rains have been sent, and
destructive storms withheld, in most sec
tions, and the young blades and buds are
now chiefly past the danger Of the late
frosts; of insect pests, whose ravages have
been SO fatal to the farmers prosperity il
years past, few are reported to be active
this season. At no seed time for twenty
years have the farmers felt so hopeful o
great harvests.

THERE is a moral connected with the
career and made conspicuous by the death
of John Morrissey that should not pass
unheeded' No man can read the unaf-
fected eulogiums upon his public services
without being convinced of their insince-
rity. When it. is considered what Mr.
Morrissey's antecedents we're, and from
what depth of moral disadvantage he
made his way to the esteem of men whose
good opinion is valuable passessson, we
know of no instance SO impressive for the
encouragement of other men who have
placed themselves under the ban of so
ciety. There is hope for the worst man
who turns resolutely from his vices.

TRAVELLING, as pleasure, is reducibie
to the;number of stoppages made at points
here and there, while sbetweennthese many
people are quite content to make their
way BY a, night line, getting over the
ground with their eyes shut as time sa-
wing operation. But there are always
wise people who are independent in their
pleasures ofthe fashion and the crowd.
Before the days of railroads there was
many pleasant summer ride taken In a
light wagon with two stout horses from
one part of the State to another, or through
the better advertised rural districts OF
New England and New York. Sometimes
a convoy Of carriages and large party, a
capacious wagon that would stow away
family, would spend, weeks in genuine
journeyiug, making merry over the short
comngs of the wayside tavern taken by
storm ofunexpected guests, or would rest
and be thankful in the hospitable farm
house that opened its doors where taverns
were far between For great part the
health and variety of these jaunts came
from the not arriving at the regulation ho-
tel, with its pretentious bill of fare, its
band, and its gas-lighted drawing-room,
but in the roughing it round pine tables,
on unaccustomed fare, and going to bed by
the light of tallow dip. The inconye-
niences were as much part of the regi-
men as the jolts of corduroy roads, and
the appetiles were generally proof against
the frying pan. They could eat mince
pie in August and doughnuts at any meal
provided the "cottage cheese" were there

It was first discovered by Schoenbein in
1889. In 1850, Andrews and TAFT obtained
small quantities of it from Oxygen, by
means Of pressure. 1t is asserted by Loew
and Odling that Ozone contains three
atoms ofOxygen, while the latte 1has two
atoms, and that by COMPRISING it to one
ozone has also been produced by passing q
series of electric sparks through Oxygen
Gas ; by applying Permanganate of Potas-
sa to Sulphuric Acid; by burning Phos-
phorus in Ether; or by forcing air through
solution Of Blood, Ether. Permanganate
of Potassa and Phosphorus.

Schoebein named the substance which he
discovered Ozone. from the Greek word
"Ozein," signifying to smell. He supposed
that 1t was Oxygen in an active aud highly
ele lectro-negative state. My observations do
not warrant THESE conclusions. as SUBJ
stances (such as Chlorate of POtassa, etc.
that yield large quantities of Oxygen give
but little Ozone, while others producing
producing little or no Oxygen yield large
quantities of Ozone. The most highly ozon-
lied organic bodies are Cedar-W ood. Pine
leaves, Blood, ETC., etc Of the Mineral
Salts, Alum, Surphur, Chloride of Soda,
ETC., may be mentioned as agents yielding
Ozone in abundance. Ozone may be man.
ufactured from all ozonized bodies by
chemical affinity, the evolution Of organic
matter and the rapid disintegration Of all
ozonized substances, either by means of
heat, electricity or other forms of force.
ozone is the antiseptic principle of every
substance possessing the power to preserve
animal and vegetable structures from de-
cay. The preservative and purifying quail
tiles Of Salt, Carbolic Acid, Chloride OF
Lime, Alcohol. ETC., are due to the presence
of Ozone.

Prominent among the stock men who
find market for their produce at Emporia
is Capt. Webster, an enterprising farmer
of Dunlap, Morris county. Although but
short time since he commenced Opera
tions on the open prairie, large two sto-
ry frame house, out houses, orchard, stone
fences, barn, and bank shed, single
covered, capacity three thousand head of
sheep, bear evidence to the enterprise OF
the owner. Mr.. Webster has at present
two thousand head Of sheep on his ranch,
will raise about 700 lambs this year; loss,
eight or ten, which is more than bal
anced by 10 ews raising twins, which
makes over 100 per cent. net increase.
The sheep are Cottswold and Merino,
which mixture, Mr.. Webster thinks the
best for general purposes, health and W DOL
both considered. To prevent scah In
such large herd the sheep are dipped in
toDacco juice once or twice year, which
we q re assured Is not such a formidable
joe as might be supposed. One hundred
and eighty wethers were shipped from
this ranch in February, averaged here 125
lbs, in st. Louis ITO lbs, at $4.55 per cwt.
Two herders are at present required as
the ews with the lambs are Kept in a sep.
arate herd; principal herder gets $18 per
month. Four hundred ewes will be sold
from this flock this year, at $3.50 per
head, now partly contracted for. This
flock Of sheep are not allowed to run in
the timber at all as Mr.. Webster does not
believe timber the proper place for them.
Shearing commenced the LIST of June,
cost $6 per hundred head, and board Of
hand. Business pays 80 to 100 per cent.
net profit on capital invested.
Mr.. Webster has also 100 head OF very
fine hogs. some cattle. horses, etc. He is
farming 40 acres corn, 10 of oats, 10 of
wheat, 100 Of millett, five of pumpkins
aud 40 Of turnips,
Parties desiring to go into sheen hus-
hanpry would do well to look through
this model ranch and learn something Of
the minutia OF sheep raising from one
who has had such good success.

1t is Wound Up.

As we announced last week, would be
the case. the Emporia Mutual Loan As
sociation closed last Monday evening,
June 10th, IN just six years from the time
1t began business. The entire amount Of
dues paid in on each share has been $7S,
and on Monday evening orders were
draw to pay off each unloaned share at
its full face value of 1925. The owner of
each such share received, on Tuesday,
$l25 cash, or $4T more than had been paid
Ia on 1T. This is equivalent to S47 inter-
est on S7S for three years, and whethsr or
not that is paying rate Of interest we
leave the share owners to say. There
were some $1,000 cash in the treasury,
which was 50 disbursed on Tuesday,
thus fulfilling to the letter the promises
made at the outset Of the enterprise, that
each share would be paid of in full in
not over six years time. Those who had
from time to time borrowed their shares,
have taken them at suen rates Of discount
as each deemed the use of the money
worth to him, and the notes and mortga-
ges OF all who had paid up their dues
were on Tuesday cancsled, releasing
them from all further obligations.
The retiring officers Of the association,
most OF whom have served for several
years, and all with fidelity and ability,
are entitled to the thanks and apprecia-
ton Of the association for useful services
and onerous duties faithfully perform
ed without pay or emoIument, the secre-
tary and attorney only having received
any pay, and that very slight for the Ia

the association closes are as follows:

Directors Howard Dunlap, Hiram

in the treasury might judiciously be ex-
pended In publishing final statement of
the financial results Of the association.

What ID the Future7

This SUBJECT Is now absor bling the at

thinking people have been divided upon
the point as to 3 literal He'll, some con-
tending there is big one, to which rail.
road men and editors are rapidly travel

one, . sort OF pocket edition, which Is car
ried with as daily In our hearts; while
others claim there is none At all, and only
as our actions IN this world are guided
by pure motives and wise eounseIs, VIII
we find peace and happiness hereafter.
Therefore. in the future, - in the past,
people will continue 20 be divided upon
these points. But there Is enc point up
on which als agree, and the tesflmany
comes from the east, west, north ana
south, and that Is that the old reliablS
