The New York Sun says: "Let
none who saw O'Leary and Hug ghes
dragging themselves around the
track in Gilmore's Garden last
week imagine that they were do
Ing 80 for glory or for fun. There
are profits In pedestrianism as we'll
as In some other things. Under
agreement the Garden managers
were to receive one-half of the
receipts, O. Leary three-eighths,an
Hughes one eighth. The cash
taken in was $4,000. The cham.
pion's share, therefore, amounted
to something over u thousand dol
lars day for his Six days labor,
while Hughes pocketed more than
two thousand dollars for being
hundred miles, or thereabouts, 0e-
hind. In the Chicago match be-
tween Weston and O'Leary the Pc
destrians divided twenty thousand
dollars, and for his walk in the
Rink Weston received seven thou
sand dollars. Nevertheless, it
would not be wisdom for young
men who are receiving even small
salaries to throw up their positions
and take to the track.

Dusing his absence his wife has
conducted herself in very i'm.
proper manner, and the report
having reached his ears, he came
home last night by way of Antioch
and Somerville. AT the lat
ter place he drank some
intoxicating liquors and
learned more of his wife's con-
duct. He reached the neighbor.
hood of his residence about half
past 5. and found his wife at the
house of u female friend, Emma
Diekens0n, of a character similar to
her own, and in the company of
two Italians drinking. Mrs. Will
liams was somewhat under the i'm

band arrived. He commenced an
assault Immediately; Rocked her
down, dragged her by the hair,
kicked aud abused her all the
way thence to their dwell,
ing, a distance of about one hum
dred feet. He finally got her into
the house and shut the
door. From that time un-
til 10 O'clock nothing is
known of what occurred. At the
latter hour Williams appeared at
the house where he com ME enced
the assault and asked for a match,
saying he thought his wife was
dead. Emma Dickeuson and one
of the Italians returned with him
and found the body on a mat.
trass IN the kitchen cold and
stiff. The Constable was notified
and found Williams at his house.
He acknowledged the deed aud was
placed under arrest. A post
mortem revealed several cuts on
the woman's head and person. The
body was fearfully bruised and the
nose broken. One of the cuts on
the head was in The inner corner of
the right eye and evidently made
by some sharp instrument, which
penetrated the right lobe of the
brain and was no doubt the cause
of death.

In Leicestershire, England, the
remains of a laborer's wife were
taken to the churchyard for burial,
when the Episcopal vicar refused
admission on the ground that the

rise to indignation in the parish,
and a mob followed the clergy man,

The Sap Of the Maguey.

The Ag0,e americana, American
aloe. called the nsGgwey in South
America, it has . short cylindrical
stem terminating in a circular cluster
of hard, Aeshy, spiny, sharp pointed
blush green leaves, each OF which
lives for many years, so that but few
have withered away when the plant
has arrived at maturity. 1t is pop
ular error that this only occurs at the
expiration of hundred years, when
the tree flowers, and lies dormant,
so far as its effiorescence is concerned
for another century. The American
aloe varies in the period of it's coming
to maturity, according to the region
in which it grows, from ten to seven
ty years. So soon as 1t natures, 1t
sends forth a stem forty feet IN
height, which puts out numerous
branches, forming symmetrical cone
Each branch bears a cluster of green
ish yellow flowers, which continue
in perfect bloom for several months.
The American aloe is applied to many
uses. From its sap, drawn from IN
cisions in its stem, is made 2oatlq4e, a
fermented liquor highly esteemed by
the natives of the countries in which
the plant Is Indigenous. A course
sort of thread is made from the tibers
of the leaves, known as pita lax.
The dried flower stems constitute a
thatch which is perfectly imperviouS
| to the heaviest rain. From an ex-
tract Of the leaves ballsg are made
which can be made to latherwith
water like soap; and from the center
of the stem split longitudinally sub
stance is obtained, for a hone or razor
strop, which, owing to the particles
of silica which form one Of its constr,
tuents, has the property Of speedily
bringing steel to fine edge. ''t' "

Peanut Cultivation.

In your paper OF OeptemOer 1SI
| notice an article from r. G. Petevay
| of Spencer's Mills, Tenn, on the cul-
| tivation of peanuts. AS my expe-
rience for the last four years, has been
somewhat different from his, it may
not be amiss to give the many read
ers of your valuable paper the bene-
fit of it.
AS the gentleman from Tennessee
states, have also discarded the white
pea In favor of the red. My land is
stiff clay soil, which is generally
considered the most unfit tor the
growing Of peanuts, and the poorest
of it l select for my pea patch; and
notwithstanding this disadvantage,
by cultivating in the following man
ner, have succeeded in obtaining
seventy.two bushels per acre. In
March / break my land deep (but
think it would be better to break
earlier, so that the land could take
at least one :reezc). About the lat
ter part of April or the first of May
1 rebreak, laying off my rows three
feet apart. then check it off three
feet distant, and in the check drop
one tablespoonful of lime generally
shell lime), and cover it. I then, as
soon as possible, drop two peas in
each check, covering with my foot as
I drop them. AS my land is flat
and wet l am compelled to have
some row, so that the water can run
off. I endeavored to cultivate as fiat
as possible with a view to drainage.
In other respects my plan of cultiva-
ton does not differ essentially from
that of Mr.. Petevay. planted last
year few hills Of a new variety of
peanuts called the Asiatic pea; and
| if my experience on large scale this
year confirms that of last year, think
they are bound to supersede all 9TH
ers. They are red pea and the hulls
contain four or five peas each. AS
their tops, do not spread as the ordi-
nary pea, but grow up bushy, like
the Irish potato, they should not be
planted so far apart. put mine eight
cen inches apart with two pieces in the
hill. Their yield last year was at
least double that of the common pea
| AS this pea makes around the main
roots and not from tenrils, which ex-
tending down from vines penetrate
| the ground, it is for that reason pref
| cradle for stiff land like mine.-Aso

ashes to be used, Q cubic yard is suf-
! ficient for . tree with . trunk Eve OF
six inches in diameter, and two OF
three or four or more cubic yards to
large, larger, and the largest trees.
One reason why coal and wood ashes
have so often failed to show good and
immediate results is that they have
been used by quarts where bushels
were needed, and piled up around
the trunks of trees, or stems Of vines,
when they should have been scattered
to the depth of four of five inches
over the whole surface of root extern
sion. 4
The probable reason why potash
and other mineral salts stick so close
to the surface, and the means best to
be taken to get them down, will be
considered and explained in another
paper, we taking what remains of this
one to ask of every reader of the
Home and Farm, who is interested
in fruit growing, whether as farmer,
buyer, seller, or consumer, to make
the following simple experiment
where grape vines refuse to bear, and
suffer from rot and widow, one or
both, where apple trees are in siml.
lar condition, whore pear blight
threatens or prevails, or the yellows
aflict the peach, or rot sweeps them
off before maturity, or where any
other common fruit trees are suffering
in 6 similar way let coal ashes be
spread under each, from four to FIVE
inches deep, as far out IS the extern
sion of the lir1bs. Then let them be
forked in to depth of from Eve to
six inches; and, during the growing
season let the weeds and grass growth
be kept down, and no tramping
allowed on the surface either from
men, children or animals. If coal
ashes can not be had, wood ashes
mixed with Stacked lime will answer
the same purpose, and old morter is
just as good as any thing The aim
and object of this treatment is to re-
store original conditions, this being
done by returning lost mineral mat
ter to the soil, and also by mechani-
cal means, rendering it open and por-
Gus, 80 the force of the atmosphere can
work beneath the surface, as under
layer of decaying leaves. We have
tried this method of treatment, and
know it to have been successful. We
have seen the work done by others
with like result, and we confidently
recommend it. To be sure, there are
certain other conditions to be observed
so as to obtain the best results, such
as due attention to drainage, to prun-,
ing, to varieties, and to soil, climate
and location. But this can be said
with entire confidence, that where
fruits have been grown once, there
they can be made to grow again, as
fair and as large as they ever grew.
And finally, that any and all soils
capable of growing, under good Gull
tivation, seventy-five bushels of corn
to the. acre, and thirty bushels of
wheat, are capable of being made to
produce grapes and all the common
fruits; and if they do not, it is be-
cause of the stolidity and ignorance
of the grower, and not defect in the
tree or vine, nor a want in the eli.
mate.-Honae and Farm.

A Sfrange c Disease.

The indianapolis Journal has this
story about a strange disease that has
broken out among the the cattle owned
by dairymen near that city " From
eating dew-covered white clover a cer-
tain highly expansive gas is formed in
the bovine stomach which penetrates to
all parts of the animals bodies, causing
death in a few hours. There is only one
known remedy, and that is to thurst
knife into the sides of the afflicted cat
tie just behind the shoulder blades. This
affords an outlet for the gas and brings
instant relief. Cattle suffering from the
gaseous complaintl ook as though they
might have been fed upon compressed
yeast. The dairymen have associated
themselves together for mutual protection
and by adopting this method manage to
prevent a very extensive mortality,
though probably 100 cows have died
rom the disease thus far. The gentle
herdmen now go around with long keen
butcher knives, which they slip into the
sides Of their cows when occasion re-
qulres. The cornfield subdivisions
North of the city have been converted
Into immense clover fields and 1t is here
the grazing kline are encouDtering the
death-dealing white variety. Dairyme n
call the disease "clovering." 1t has not
yet attacked the pumps, aud the milk
merchants do not feel entirely disheart-
ened."
