LA LOI ANTI-SOCIALISTE
EN- ALLEMAGNE.

NJ. de Bismarck est tenace ce
quill veut, il lie yeut bien il lui
fallait absolument une loi pour
arreter les progress inquietants du
socialisme en- Allemagne; il la lui
fallait a tout prix, ct il Ia obte-
nue..
Deja il await pour ce sajet dis
sout lie Reichtag allemand. Dams
l'assemblee nouyelle, il s'etait en-
core maifest6 une grande opposi-
ton, ct l'on await meme parle de
menaces dune seconde dissolution,
en- cas- d d'insucces. Bien certaine-
ment, lie chancellor nett pas recu-
le deyant une pareille mesure,
malgre ses dangers.
Heureusement, les socialistes ct
les radicaux, par l'exageration de
leur langage ct leurs menaces, ont
fait eux-memes ses affaircs. II y
meme Gu uu Mr.. Hasselman, d.
recteur dun journal socialiste ct
membre du Reichtag, qui a fait
litteralement un appel a l'insur
rection ct a termine son discours,
en- rappelant dun ton de def la
sanglante journee du l8 mars, a
Berlin, laquelle est restee CONNIE
un object de terreur dams les po-
pulations allemandes.
II men fallait pas davantage
pour fare comprendre lie danger
de la situation ct determiner ceux
qui hesitaient encore a voter la loi.
NJ. de Bismarck y a meme gagne
deux GU trois clauses quill etait
pret a abandonner, pour obtenir
lie plus tot possible lie vote. La
doption a Gu lieu, en- efet, a une
forte majorite. !
Ccmme lie parlement await etc
convoque que pour cette loi, il a
etc proroge immediatement apres.
Les socialistes, pour ne pas assis-
ter a lovation que Pon fait gene.
ralement au chef de l'Etat, a la
cloture de toute session, Sc sont
retires en- corps, avant que NJ. de
Bismarck n',ut proclame cette
cloture.
Depuis, les journaux socialistes al
lemandset prussiens surtout, ayant
compris qu'ils allaient immedia-
tement etre suspendus ont juge,
plus digne de suspendre eux-
memes leurs publications mais
lis repara1tront probablement sous
d'autres titres.

writer in the Inter- Ocean says, 81 have
arat-proof corn-crib-one of my. own
contrivance, built with my own hands,
on the following plan and size: Six
teen feet long, five feet wide, eight feet
from the floor to the plate above, three
bents, stills framed into the posts
eighteen inches from the ground, short
way. A Xxi joist, sixteen feet long,
set in outside of posts to correspond
with stills. Plates spiked on top of
posts; four inch scantling for nail-ties
halfway between; four scantlings, 2x4,
set in lengthwise to sustain the floor
The floor is of inch plank, doubled, and
laid crosswise and sawed off even with
the outside sleeper, to which the lower
ends of siding are nailed. The door is
set in eighteen inches above the floor or
three feet from the ground. The crib
was built in the spring of 1871; has
been used ever since. None of the
family have ever seen a rat in it"

More Of the Same Sort Wanted.

Some years ago well-known resi-
dent of this city, merchant, failed in
business. A meeting of his creditors
was called and his obligations COM
pounded at certain per cent. on the
dollar. At a later day he wound up his
business as a merchant, and finally be-
came interested in stocks. He is now
secretary of one or more mining COM
panies, and has occasionally made fort
innate ventures on his own account.
Not long ago member of a leading
mercantile firm in this city was sur
prised by the knowledge that consid-
cradle credit had been placed to his in
dividual account, and that all the other
members of the firm had similar credits
in proportion to their interest in the
firms business. The bookkeeper ex-
planned that one of the old customers
or debtors who failed years ago and
compounded with his creditors, there
by getting full legal release, had been
prosperous of late, and had made it his
business to pay up dollar for dollar
without regard to compromise The
old account with the debtor had been
closed years ago, and so each individual
member of the firm found himself cred
tied with handsome sum by way of

Well-Timed Jests.

A pretty ample list might be made of
men who have owed their success in
life to some well-timed jest. Prince
Menschikotf earned his position at the
court of the Gar Nicholas entirely by
his caustic wit; and Marshal Junot,
while still young subaltern, attracted
the attention of the commander-in-chief
by coolly observing, as an Austrian
shell scattered earth over the dispatch
which he was writing at the latter's
dictation: Its very kind of them to
sand our letters for u.s." The traditions
of the English navy have preserved an
other instance of the kind well worth
quoting. When the Duke of Clarence,
afterward William ", went down to
Portsmouth to inspect the British seven
ty-fours, the guide allotted to him was a
battered old LieHtenant with one eye,
who, lacking " friend at court" had
served for years without promotion. As
the veteran removed his hat to salute
his royal visitor, the latter remarked
his badness, and said, jestingly, " see,
my friend, you have not spared your
hairin your country's service" "Why,
your Royal Highness," answered the
old "salt," so many young fellows
have stepped over my head that it's a
wonder I've got any hair left" The
duke laughed loudly at this profession
al joke, but he made note of the old
mans name at the same time, and a
few days after the latter was agreeably
surprised to receive his appointment as
CAPTAIN.

Possible Yield Of Corn.

If corn be planted in drill three and
one half feet apart, and four kernels in
a hill, every twenty-eight inches of drill
(the method in practice at Waushakum
FARM. there are 1888 hills or q, 1882
stalks to the acre. A nine-inch ear of
Waushakum corn, thoroughly dried,
yielded 2,170 grains weight, or thirty
one one-hundredths of pound of
shelled grain. If each stalk should
average but one such ear, the harvest
would be 1913 pounds, or 1856 bushels
per acre. 1t would require but an aver
age of about one-half a pound of grain
per stalk to furnish a two-hundred-
bushel crop. EXperimentally, in the
garden, we have secured over forty
ounces, or two and one-half pounds
from single kernel planted, so there
is no end to the possibilities of the crop.
In practice, however. we have never
realized over 123 bushels per acre; while
an average crop on large areas has not
exceeded seventy or eighty bushels.
The first effort to improve corn now,
starting with satisfactory kernels and
ears, is to eliminate the barrenness of
stalks, so that each and every stalk
shall perform its duty. There is no
trouble in securing large percentage
of fruitful stalks, or even a smaller per-
centage of twin or triple-eared stalks;
but when we hope to secure all such,
then we find the difficulty. Seed-corn
must be bred, and skillfully bred, to-
ward fruitfulness, before we can antici-
pate very striking results. Science

The National Scourse.

1t is estimated that the annual damages
caused by the ravages of insects and worms
exceed $3.50, 100000 in the United States alone.
Truly an enormous loss! Yet it sinks into in
significance when compared with the ravages
of that more terrible scourge, Consumption,
which annually sweeps hundreds of thousands
of human souls into eternity. The causes of
consumption are various, depending in every
instance for the development of the disease
upon the scrofulous diathesis, or tempera-
ment, of the victim. Thus the same cause
which will produce in one person an attack of
acute disease or slight nervous prostration,
will engender consumption in a person of
scrofulous habit. That consumption can be
cured by proper treatment will be readily per-
ceived when the exact nature of the disease is
understood, viz, the accumulation and depo-
sition of scrofuous matter (tubercles) in the
lungs. Obviously, the principal remedies re-
quired are (1) powerful Alternative, or blood
purifier, to arrest the accumulations and also
cleanse the blood of the scrofulous matter,
and (2) mild cathartic to expel the diseased
matter from the system. This course of treat
ment, in conjunction with strict hygienc
regime, has proved the most successful meth
cd of curing this disease. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets are the best Alternative and cathartic
remedies before the public, and have been
alone used in thousands of cases of consump-
ton with the most marked efficacy. DIR.
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo, n. Y, af-
fords special and unequaled advantages to
consumptives, not only possessing the best
medical and hygienic means of treatment, but
having the essential advantage of being stu
ated in climate where the inhabitants are
notably free from this disease.
