What are You ut Home!

Strollng around among some men,

Flowers as DiSinfectantS.

An Italian professor has made some
very agreeable medical researches, re-
sulting in the discovery that vegeta-
BILE perfumes exercise O positively
healthy influence on the atmosphere,
converting its oxygen into ozone and
thus increasing its oxydizing influence.
Tie essences found to develop the lar
gest quantity of ozone are those of
cherry, laurel, clover, lavender, mint.
juniper, lemon. fennel and bergamo, /;
those that give it in similar quantity
are anise, nutmeg and thyme The
flowers of the narcissus, byacinth.
mignonette, beliotrope, and lilly of the
valley, develop ozone in closed YES
sells. Flowers destitute Of perfume
do not develop it. and those which
have but slight perfume develop it in
small quantities. Reasoning from
these facts. the professor recommends
the cultivation Of flowers in marshy
districts, and in all places infested
with animal emanations. on account
of the powerful oxydizing influence OF
OF ,ne. The inhabitants OF such re-
gious should, be says. surround their
houses with the most OdOrOus flowers

Dissertation.

Upon the church doors and walls

1t has reached our ears that some
of the Hymn books are replete with

No gentleman will desecrate the
House Of God. aud none but q brute

ASpunky Minister.

Sandlake, n. Y. is where the minis.
ter lives who may fairly be said to
have carried off the championship for
spunk. This gentleman on a recent
Sunday, after reading chapter Of the
Bible and announcing hymn, said to
bis congregation: 1.-The Board of
Trustees have not paid my salary,
have taken no notice of my demaods,

made any other effort to fulfil their

Horrible.

We learned yesterday from a gen.
tleman who has just returned from u
trip to Panolo county. Texas, that at
Sunny Point, in that county. on Mon
day, two children, one an infant aud
the other about two years of age,
were killed and eaten by sow. It.
appears that the parents left the
children at the house in the care of u
girl six or seven years Of uge, and
while the girl was playing in the yard
the SOW entered the house and seized
the infant lying in cradle and
dragged it out and killed it. The
screams Of the infant brought the girl
to its assistance Not being able to
rescue the child from the bog, she RON
to the field where the parents were
ct work and reported what had oc-
cured. But before they could reach
the house the sagacious animal had
killed the infant and ate its brains out
and had attacked and eaten of leg
and arm Of the oldest child. The lat
ter lived some five or six hours after

Bermuda Grass.

A Texas correspondent of the
Southern Farmer says:
Ill had q Gotten field taken pris-
oner by the Bermuda grass while l
was trying to prevent it. l would val
ue it more highly than any cotton
field in Texas. A hundred acres of
cotton does not yield but very little
after the expense of tillage aud gath
ering is paid but do know that a
field of Bermuda needs no cultivation
and no gathering that cannot readily
be done by flock of sheep or herd OF
cows aud calves. The rain and SUM-
shine costs nothing. 1t makes the
grass grow, and the cows and calves
do not charge anything for gathering
it. There is really clear profit from
the grass crop, but on the cotton sid.
of the question there isn't euougb lef
after paying expenses to talk about.

Referring to the terrible number Of
suicides in San Francisco Of late, a
contribution of the News Letter ad-
verts to the tendency Of one suicide
to make many. The writer thinks
that were those who feel Sd dow1cast
by misfortune as to make away with
themselves to remember how many
now prosperous people have been
through similar trials, but courage
ously bore up under them, they, too.
would take heart. But men at such
times are apt to look only at their
own failure. The poet Cowper who
twice resolved on selfdestructiOn
wrote:
Beware Of desperate steps; the darkest day.
Live ill Tomorrow, will have passed away.

A DastardIy and Brutal Act.

We learn that on Saturday after
noon last, a man, at least in form, at
tackled and beat poor defenceleSS
young woman of ,cnteel exterior,
and pretty face, almost to death. He
was out in hack riding in company
with her, and we learn from some la
dies who saw them, that the man had
bis coat off aud was lying down on
the seat, the woman was vel!cd.
From the information we get one eye
of the woman is gone, her face hog
ribly mnlilated aud part of her skull
mashed in, all of which was done by
this brute with his pistol. He claims
that be did not know what he was DO
ing, aud we are told that tie woman
does not wish to appear against him
provided she RECEIVERS. Ii such be the
case we ask is there manhood enough
left 10 our city to see that the fellow
does not get oil scot free. How
would coat of tar and feathers tit
him? He who would lay his hand
on woman save iu kinndcss, is brute
and unworthy the name of man."
The brutality of the act is without
excuse, the fair name of our city is at
stake, aud the fellow should not go
unwhipped by justice. One kemper
county affair is enough for our State
for decade; but iu justice to our peo.
pie it is necessary to say that this
brutal attack was performed by a tolal
stranger in our midst and who halls
from Washington city. We did not
learn his name, and don't want to-

Contraction and Communism.

1t is interesting and beneficial at
this time to consider the connection
between contraction of the currency
of a great people, and Communism,
or, more properly speaking, to note
the effect that the financial blunders
of the Radical Administrations have
had. 1t cannot he denied that when
currency was abundant employment
was also abundant, and there was not
the least dread of labor riots or o.
Communism. Persons may point to
the fact that the Communistic upris-
ings in the Old World have sprung
from far different cause than lessen
ing of the circulating medium, or the
means Of commercial exchange among
men. They may point to the fact
that these uprisings have sprung from
a tyraunical abuse of governmental
power, or on the other hand, from
unstable government. In either case,
Communism has sprung directly from
the same cause, namely: Discomfort
This cause may be produced in many
different ways. Oppression, want of
sufficient protection by law, want of
employment, employment too poorly
paid, enforced idleness in q land Of
plenty, government partially admins
tered so as to make the rich richer
and the poor poorer, are all potent
producers of discomfort Nearly all
of these causes have been produced
by the financial course the late Ad-
ministrations have pursued. Day by
day, week by week, month by month,
and year by year, the volume of cur
rency has been steadily contracted,
until enterprise and confidence that
give employment to labor have almost
ceased to exist. No one can estimate
the number of the citizens of the
United States who have been thrown
out of employment. IAN idle brain
is the devils workshop" There are
hundreds of thousands of idle brains
in this country, and the DEVILS work
is being done 10 a way that is truly
alarming. 1t makes one sick to read
the long smoothly and powerfully
written papers on the danger of Con
munism, labor riots, etc, while the
men who have the power in theil
hands to remove the cause refuse to
do it, but remorselessly pursue 6
course that must daily add to the
ranks of the idle army. These writer's
philosophers and statesmen will hnt
out before long that men with empty
bellies and starving families care moth
ing for smooth periods, wise disserta
tions, and Government, no matter how
beautiful its theory may be, that al

Human Sympathy.

We all need it; life would be q bur-
den, and man q mere machine with
out it. When the heart is made
heavy with paiG aud suffering. how
grateful is human sympathy! And
our Joy is never complete till others
share it with US. Smiles, tears, kind
worLs and helpful little acts are a
wonderful lightener of burdens. "lf
l could only help you bear this pain"
said one friend to another. "YOu do
help me more than [ can tell, by be-
ing sorry for me-" was the reply.
Since Eve ate the forbidden fruit,
thorns have grown beside all flowers.
tears have offset smiles. aud darkness
the light of day. and there has been
no pleasure without corresponding
pain. Sorrow goes hand in hand
with joy, and the brightest morn
ing may soon be clouded with
the densest shadows. And who is
able to bear his part alone in this
checkered world? Man is social
being, aud so formed that bis sorrows
are lessened and his joys increased by
sympathy; and this fcllow-feeling that
prompts US to weep with those that
weep, as Jesus wept at the grave o
Lazarus, is one of the sweetest flow
ers that God ever planted in the heart
of man. And as sympathy quietly
and unobtrusively offered, is a balm
to our wounded bcarts, so let's us
never forget to bestow it in like man
ner, and in the fullest measure, upor
others. for by it hearts are made
strong to suffer aud endure.
