JOSH BILLINGS ON EDITORS-Josh
Billings says: IAN editor is male
whose bizness it is to navigate a nuze-
paper. He writes out editorials, grinds
out poetry, inserts deaths and wedins,
sorts out manuscripts, keeps waste
basket, blows up the printer, steals
matter, fites uther peoples battles,
sells his paper for dollar and fifty
cents a year, takes white beans and
apple sass for pay when he can, raizes
large family, works nineteen hours
out Of twenty-four, knows no Sunday,
gifts abused bi everybody and onst in a
while whipt bi somebody, lives poor,
dies middle-aged, and often broken
hearted, leaves no money, and il re-
warded for life of toll with free
obituary notice in the nuze papers.
The Haaokeye man has been travel
ing down East, and here is one Of his
experiences.
Just before we reached Portsmouth
man entered into conversation with
us. He said:
"You are from the west.'
| murmured something about the
vast illimitable, ETC.; and the man
said
'tYours is new country; a new
country; new country.''
Yes, told him, it was new, but it
was the only one we had, and accord
ingly we wore it Sundays and week
days alike, worked and went to parties
in, and it would soon look a thousand
years old.
"We," the man said, ''come down
from the venerable mists of antiquity.
1t is glorious thought"
Yes, 1 said, but it wasn't pleasant.
I was in Boston four days, and it east
winded and rained three of them. II
was misty enough, but it spoiled the
prospect.
''My ancestors, he said, "came over
in the Mayfiower. But yours-?" And
he looked at me with rising refec-
tion.
1 tried to slay him with a look Of
silent scorn, but she missed fire.
'tYour ancestors, 1 take it, said the
man, "did not come over in the May
fower?"
And then l turned upon him. "Sir, ,
I remarked, ''thls Mayfower, | take it
was sailing ship?''
''She was,'' he said. vainly endeavor-
ing to stifle his emotion, ''she was q
sailing ship"
'Then," 1 said, haughtily, ''most
assuredly myancestors did not come ovel
in the Mayfower. 1t has never beer
the misfortune of my family to be com
PEELED to take passage on any ship O
the merchant marine. My ancestors
came over in Cunard steamer, first
cabin, no steerage passengers carried
only ten days from Liverpool, and the
minute they landed in New York they
went straight up to Mrs. Astor'f
tavern and took front rooms on the
parlor floor"
1 thought 1 had crushed that man
but may | be blessed if he didn't look
as though he pitled me.

PecuLIARITIEs OF GREAT MEN.

The Duke of Wellington was not re-
markably sedulous of dress, although
on grand occasions he made sufficient
display, when he wore his principalor-
ders and decorations blazing on coat
more gorgeous than the celebrated habit
of Prince Esterhazy, which, it was said,
cost him e200 in repairs and damages
ever time it was put on. The duke
had custom of wearing a white neck
cloth in uniform, which gave him
rather slovenly look; and a flippant
French duchess once called him lie
Due de Villainton,'' because he ap-
peared at a full-dress party in some
thing less than grande tenlte. He was
also tamiliarly called in the army ''the
BEAU" from his usual plain attire, and
apparent negligence of outward splen-
dor. That vanity is an inherent COM
pound or attendant of greatness, is a
wide position, which admits of much
argument and endless demonstration.
Many distinguished men affect or adopt
eccentricities, of which vanity may be
the melting cause.
Lord Nelson was fond of exhibiting
his stars, and delighted in having his
horses taken out, and his carriage
drawn by the mob.
The celebrated Lord Peterborough.
though light, and vain and proud, had
no weakness of this kind. Once, the
populace taking him for the duke Of
Marlborough, insisted on dragging
him through the streets in triumph
Gentlemen, - said he, 'sI can assure
you by two reasons that / am not the
duke of Marlborough. In the first
place, have only five guineas in my
pocket; and, in the second place, they
are heartily at your service"
So, throwing his purse among them,
he got out of their hands with loud
huzzas and exclamations. The earl of
Peterborough, who had much sense,
much wit, and much whim, leaped out
of his chariot one day on seeing
dancing-master with pearl-colored silk
stockings, lightly stepping over the
broad stones, and picking his way in
extremely dirty weather, and ran after
him (Who soon took to his heels) with
his sword drawn, in order to drive him
into the mud, into which he, of course,
followed himself
All singularities may be traced home
to a certain degree of vanity, of which
prevailing weakness, the old leather
breeches of Frederick the Great, the
coarse coat and brass buttons OF Charles
XII, the small cooked hat and gray
cGpote of Napoleon, the blanket and
tub of Diogenes, and even the pious
beaver and modest drab of the Quaker,
may be included as samples.
Philosophy itself has no objection to
an occasional flourish Of trumpets.
The ancient sages taught in the schools,
and modern philomaths lecture at pub
lie institutions, but who shall say that
they are not as much melted by the
vanity of showing their requirements,
as by the desire of instructing their
fellow citizens? Even Seneca declared
that if knowledge was bestowed on him
on condition that he should not impart
it, he would decline the gift.

Well-Kent Farms

A well ordered farm, well. chosen
stock, comfortable buildings, neatly
kept garden, road way or entrance way;
gates well hung, fences well kept, shade
trees, ornamental shrubbery, paint
without and whitewash within-all
these are worth more to farmer in
money value than few hundred dol
lars carefully scraped together and
lealouslY boarded and loaned to needy
neighbors at interest. No investment
pays so well as money judiciously spent
in farm improvements. Draining wet
land will pay so to 100 per cent. on its
cost every year; good stock will pay
equallywell; good roads will llreturn their
cost every year; gate will save its
cost IN short time; a good fence may
save its whole cost in one night; a we'll
Kept garden, neat lawn, orchard and
shade trees, which need not cost $1OO.
have added ten times that amount to
the value of farm, and the comfort
and self-respect gained through the out
lay for these and from their possession,
are worth more than the cost.-N. Y.

Value of Peat and Muck.

Chemical analyses give a varying
value to peat and muck deposits, con-
sidered as fertilizers; but in nine cases
out of ten, we find that these analyses,
made by competent chemists, show q
percentage of ammonia far in excess OF
that contained in common yard ma
nure, sometimes four or six times as
much. AS ammonia is the most costly
of all fertilizing materials, and at the
same time an absolute essential for all
grain and most forage crops, it is plain
that there must be great value in muck
and peat when rightly prepared and APP
piled. What muck is usually deficient
in, compared with yard manure, is pot
ash and phosphoric acid. Therefore,
when it is proposed to apply muck to
land without first using it as an absorb
ent in the stables or composing it with
ashes and bone-dust. These, when
properly mixed and combined, will
make a fertilizer that will produce the
best results, especially upon our lighter
soils. The proportions should be about
ten bushels of good, unleached
hard wood ashes and two bushels of
bone-dust, to two cords of muck that
has been dug long enough to have
parted with its surplus water by drain
age.
Such compost, if the muck is of
average quality, ought to produce as
much effect as an equal quantity Of the
best stable manure upon crops of grain,
potatoes or grass. For the best results,
1T should lie six months or year after
mixing, and be shoveled over several
times during that period. If peat is
used, it should lie long enough to be-
come thoroughly rotten and fine. We
should prefer to mix half the ashes with
the bone, wet them thoroughly, and let
them lie two or three weeks before mix
ing them with the muck. The rest Of
the ashes should be added at the same
time, and by the union of its potash
with the organic acids that hold the
ammonia in unsoluble combination, ii
sets that substance free to be absorbed,
in an active state, by the pile. The
bone-dust and ashes will cost about five
dollars, and the heap, when finished,
will give six loads. - Ratral Neac

AN ANATOMICAL WONDER.

A novel exhibition in anatomy was
givenin Chicago to the students Of Rush
Medical College. At O'Clock the
large amphitheatre lecture room was
filled with fiedged and unfedged doc
tors, and in the arena stood Mr..
Charles Warren, a man about 30 years
of age, of athletic appearance, and ap-
parently jointed the same as ordinary
mortals. But he soon showed that he
differed from most men in his makeup,
for there was hardly joint in his
whole body that he could not throw
out of place, or at least give that ap-
pearance. He went through with his
distortions, much to the amazement as
well as the amusement of all. He COM
menced by giving a circulatorY move
ment to the scalpul@, moving either
one or both at time and without any
apparent motion of the shoulders. He
then threw the humerus into the aXilla,
disjointed his elbow, wrist and phal-
anges. This was done merely by the
contraction of the muscles of the arm
and not by pulling of one member by
another. In none of his feats was there
any such wrench of one joint from an
other. Without touching any part Of
his body with his hands, the joints
would move out of position. He forced
the femur from the hip bone. This he
could do while standing on one or both
feet, or while reclining. The disloca-
ton caused an apparent shortening OF
the limb. Another striking feat was
the turning of his feet so that he could
touch the bottoms of them while his
legs were perfectly straight. Perhaps
the most remarkable of all his powers
was the wonderful expansibility OF his
chest. Medical works, upon the
strength OF examinations of thousands
of men in the army and navy, generally
give five inches as the maximum OF ex-
pansion. The exhibitor could expand
his from nine to twelve inches. Those
who did not take much interest in his
other performances were wonder struck
at this. This feat was performed by
the remarkable degree of the COM
pressibility of the chest, and his power
to force his heart and lungs into the
abdominal cavity, and then to force
his viscera into his chest. The abb
domen was hardly less curious when
the viscera was forced upwards by the
diaphragm than was the inflated chest,
for at such time there seemed to be an
entire absence of organs in that part OF
the body, and to be no distance at all
from the front walls of the abdomen to
the spinal column.
This subject proved fine study in
the anatomy Of the muscles, because
he could contract them 80 as to show
the position of each one from origin to
insertion. He had this power over the
muscles in pairs or separately, and
could make them as distinct as if dis
sected.

OYSTER PLANT.-Put oyster plant
to soak in cold water one hour before
you wish to cook: then scrape and cut
in pieces about one inch in size; place
in an earthen saucepan in cold water
enough to cover them; they require
about one hour to cook; when they
are soft add one pint of milk, six but
er-crackers rolled fine, and lump of
butter as large as an egg; one teaspoon
full of salt; little pepper.
WAFERs.-Melt a quarter of a
pound of butter and mix it with half
a pint of milk, teaspoonful of salt, a
wine-glass of wine, three beaten eggs
and sufficient sifted -four to enable
you to roll them out easily. They
should be rolled very thin, cut into
small circular cakes, and baked in an
oven of moderate heat. Frost the
whole and sprinkle sugar sand or COM
fits over it as soon as frosted.
THE SLEEP FOR CHILDREN.-The
Herald of Health cautions parents not
to allow their children to be walked up
in the morning. Let nature wake
them; she will not do it prematurely.
Take care that they go to bed at an
early hour-let it be earlier and earlier
until it is found that they wake up
themselves in full time to dress for
breakfast.
To LESSEN FRICTION FOR FURNI-
TURE.-Black lead is excellent to lessen
friction between two pieces of work.
The sides and rests of desks or bureau
drawers may be made to move easily
by spreading common stove-blacking
evenly with cloth or the finger over
their surfaces. Time and patience
may thus be saved.
