A Little too Late j.

Edward Dicey, in the current number
Of The Nineteenth Century, argues that
whenever, whether by congress or other
wise, the continental powers come to deal
as they must at no distant period, with
the possession of Egypr, they ought to
find British flagstaff already planted on
the soil. He relates fresh anecdote as
an illustration of the kind Of British
pluck which is needed at the present
time. A score of years age French
fleet arrived suddenly at Alden on an un-
known errand. The officers were invited
to dine with the governor Of the settle
ment, and in the course of the banquet
the commander of the French squadron
casually informed his host that at day
break he was to sail for Perrin, under Sc
ere. orders, to occupy in the name of
France the island rock which commands
the entrance to the Red Sea. Those were
the days when telegraph wires had not
spanned the world, and when British
officials were not afraid to act on their
own responsibility. The governor of Alden
drank success to the French expedition,
but before his guests had quilted the ia
bic dispatch boat had stolen out OF the
harbor, and when the French squadron
reached Perm few hours later, they
found the Union Jack. flying over the
rock and guarded by an English seminal.
They had come too late; and the COM
mand Of the Red Sea, alone and undis-
puted, was securce to England.

Muscle ys. Brain.

Drop stone in stocking and it is a
dangerous weapon with which to strike a
man. It is the stocking that hits the
man 1t is the stone that hurts him. In
a lecture the language hits you, but it is
the idea that interests you. Some of the
relations between muscle and brain are
strange and complex. There are prob.
lens difficult to solve. Given MANN
the head is the restless power of thought,
in the heart the restless fire of sin. Given
society-and we have merciless wrong on
the throne and innocent truth on the
scaffold. Given also sin-darkening all
homes, disturbing all hearts, desolating
all hopes, blighting all characters, dig
cling all graves. Given q soul-how to
find meekness without stupidity, caution
without cowardice, courage without rash
ness. Given mana telt force in the
world OF forces. To find the proper bal
ancc between muscle and brain is prob
lem. There is muscle man and brain
man, and there ought to be harmony, but
there is not. Each is struggling for the
ascendency. The muscle man on top,
and he is an ak, hoe, a spade. The
brain man en- top, and he thinks and
plans,an guides, and governs. The mus
Giles man is a doer; he fights forces at a
disadvantage; he sits with the short end
of the lever. The brain man is not a
doer; he is an organizer, combiner of
forces. He stands in the center of the
world, and makes others do the work.
The muscle man is crude material, gross.
The brain man is inponderable, intang-
lblc, invisible. He sits by our hearts and
makes or homes; the other makes our
houses and makes our roads. One is
seen in forms of material things; the 9TH
er is affections, souls, angels, God! The
one is beard; the other is razor. I pro.
pose to be razor. The one is grass; the
other is tooth. prop ose to be tooth.
You must adjust yourself, and choose
your place DR.. Foaoler.

4 MAN Eating stallion.

The Hambletonian stallion Risingham,
owned by. DR.. James A. Shultz, of Mid
dletown, N. Y, was shot and killed one
night recently, he being considered unsafe
to keep. DR.. Shultz says the horse was
insane beyond doube. He was twenty
one years cid, and for nineteen years has
been confirmed man-eater. More than
twenty keepers have been crippled by
him, and he has killed three persons out
right. No professional horse trainer could
subdue him, and the systems Of horsetrain-
ing and breaking have been tried in vain.
He was a thorough bred, old Ham bletoni-
an being his sire, and his dam being a
mare of fine blood. He had been in har-
ness but once in fourteen years, and that
was recently, when DR.. Shultz had him
hitched up, it requiring several men to do
it. The doctor then attempted to driv,
Risingham, but the horse became so furi-
Gus and manageable that he was allow
ed to 20 at once to his stall, where he has
remained ever since. The sum of $1,000
was once offered for him, and refused by
his owner, in hope that he might be cured
to bite the right cheek of a negro keeper
entirely off, the unfortunate groom's three
immediate predecessors having lost re-
spectively an ear, three fingers, and a
thumb, and the muscles of the right fore
| arm.
Five shots were fred in the forehead
of Risingham as he stood in his stall.
They seemed to have no affect upon him,
except to increase his attempts to get at
the bystanders, and to add to the ferocity
of his kicking and jumping. BY strategy
DR.. Shultz managed to sever his jugular
vein, and he bled to death, dying as he
had lived, exhibiting all the 6erceness Of
a most vicious nature. His last effort was
to seize his owners arm in his teeth.
DR.. Shultz intends to dissect the remains
Of the stallion, and have the skeleton ar
ticumted and set up in his office.

Common sense.

Many imagine all advertised medicines to be
worthless nostrums, and Unfortunately con-
dem them; but is it not an injustice to the
thousands of respectable citizens who give
voluntary evidence Of benefits received, to
thus question and doubt their veracity and
integrity? Fairbanks standard scales are
extensively advertised. Does it necessarily
follow that they are inferior in make, and less
accurate than others? Have they not been
demonstrated to be among the best? again, is
it common sense to suppose that a physician
with capital could be induced to harvard it
and q hard earned reputation upon worth
less article? r. v. Pierce, NJ. D., Of the worlds

HOUSE AND FARM.

We have just been washing sheep-skins
to make mats. They arc, when colored
nicely. very comfortable covering for a
floor, and as our living rooms are of hard
wood ash and cherry alternate, and oiled,
we dispense with the use of carpets and
all their dusty results. The skins were
rolled up kaesh with a sprinkling of salt
and saltpeter, and now we wash in strong
suds to which is added little kerosene
and ammonia. When quite clean they
were soaked a, day in salt water with 3
little alum and then hung up to drain.
When about half dry, we call the boys to
bring ladder and they nailed them, wool
side ip, to q side Of the barn where the
caves would prevent their being ralned
on. They will need some attention yet,
for they must be rubbed well with alum
and saltpeter, on the skin until perfectly
dry. Then with blunt knife all i'm
purities must be cleaned off, and they
must be rubbed with pumice stone. The
skins are afterwards trimmed off, the tail
sometimes left on, and lined with coarse
toweling. They are pretty, durable and
warm, as have found when the children
curled down upon them by the freside
some cold winter nights. The tag ends
and clippings, if pulled out fine, make
good filings fer chair cushion or sofa
pillow<ih constant use. So. a -
One of the problems Of a household
where there ore small boys, is what to do

Agricultural Fairs.

1t ISIS PROPER time, in the spring, to
prepare for agricultural fairs to be held
in autumns og This preparation should
consist IA raising good crops for exhibit

wheat, potatoes, ETC., per acre. In re-
gard to Horses to be exhibited, q late
writer says, while L would give to the

would do 50 under three classes, viz:
the draft horse, the farm horse. and
the road and carriage horse; would
make as many classes as the value of the
stock would allow, with liberal pre-
miums in each class to induce farmers to
bring out their stock. It is no easy mat
ter to bring ont a herd of cattle and drive

them eight or ten miles to the fair, as is
often done; If the premiums are small
you cannot get them out. Look at the
premiums on dairy stock and dairy pro-.
ducts; they look large, yet some fast
horse, whose actual value is not twenty
five dollars, would gobble up for ten
minutes trotting, five times as much as
all the products of the dairy. Let US
make the premiums to have cores

Now that the wheat Is all harvested and ia
ken care OF, survey OF the damage done by
| rains during the harvest reveals the loss al
only from two to Ave per cent. OF the crop.
The visible supply of wheat on June 90
1878, was 5,352, ,467 bushels, against 3,2i2, ,14t
bushels ut the same time last year.
Shipments of the new crop, "winter," ar,

strength Of Eastern markets. There seems Z,
