The opposition of the Southern
whites Is not to negro suffrage or

manhood which the institutional

ton is chiefly to turning again the

frauds were, [ suppose, perpetrated
at the polls, such, for instance, as the

lightning Farming.

The latest scientific intelligence from
France brings accounts of some extra.
ordinary experiments now under con.
sideration of the French savants. M
Grandeur, of the School of Forestry
Paris, reports the following among nu-
merous equally astonishing results
In April last he took two tobacco
plants, each weighing about fifty grains,
and having four leaves. They were
both planted in boxes containing mold
of identical quality, and placed side by
side in position favorable to their
growth. They were permitted free cir
culation of air, light and water. One
was supplied with " Iightning-rod, " OF
electric conductor, and the other left
free to the influence of atmospheric
electricity. The plants were left to
themselves until the middle of August.
That under the influence of electricity
attained height of three feet five
inches, and weighed about 1900 grains
the other measured two feet four inches,
and weighed about o, 900 grains, abou!
one-half. This is only one of the many
results obtained. 1.-THE electricity is to
become factor in farming, as it is al
ready one in mechanics, we may expect
to see some wonderful and substantial
revelations, perhaps exceeding the tele.
phone and its allied wonders. Instead
of carefully conducting Zig htning into
the ground, we may have, by an inge-
NOUS system of network distributors
whole farms fertilized by lightning in q
shocking manner. Prof. Tobin thinks
the scheme altogether practicable, and
says that in few years every farmel
will be using these lightning fertilizers

Making SabOts i'm France.

Other kinds of wood are spongy and
soon penetrated with damp, but the
beech sabots are light, of close grain,
and keep the feet dry in spite of snow
and mud, and in this respect are greatly
superior to leather. The men cut down
the tree; the trunk is sawn into lengths,
and if the pieces prove too large they are
divided into quarters. The first work
man fashions the sabots roughly with
the Ratchet, taking care to give the bend
for right and left; the second takes it in
hand, pierces the hole for the interior.
and scoops the wood out with an instru-
ment called the CUTLER. The third is
the artist of the company it is his work
to finish and polish it, carving a rose or
primrose upon the top if it be for the fair
sex. Sometimes he cuts an open border
around the edge, SO that blue or white
stocking may be shown by a coquettish
girl. As they are finished they are
placed in rows under the shavings;
twice week the apprentice exposes
them to fire, which smokes and hardens
the wood, giving it a warm, golden hue.
The largest sizes are cut from the lowest
part of the bole, to cover the workman's
feet who is out in rain from morning to
night. The middle part is for the busy
housewife, who is treading the wash
house, the dairy. or stands beside the
village fountain. Next comes those of
the little shepherd, who wanders all day
long with his flock, and still smaller
ones for the schoolboy. Those for the
babies have the happiest lot; they are
seldom worn out. As the foot grows the
mother keeps the little sabots in a corner
of her, cupboard beside the baptismal
robe.-Scientifc Anaertcan.

Famine Ingrailtnde.

A New York letter says: "Some one
has said that the horse, with all his in
telligence. has less sense than any other
animal. Untangle the paradox any way
you can. A horse can be scared almost
out of his wits by an old newspaper
blown about the streets. 4ou couldn't
fool a kitten half so easily. The horse
isn't quite as grateful as he might be,
either. For instance, one day not long
since, when Henry Bergh, Jr., stopped a
horse on Broadway and stopped to pick
up the animals foot to see if it was sore,
the inconsiderate creature picked up the
foot itself and gave Mr.. Bergh whaek
on the forehead that sent him reeling
into the gutter. The horse may not have
had any feeling against Mr.. Bergh, but
it certainly showed a lamentable lack of
gratitude. And now another horse has
come within an ace of killing August
Belmont, one of the best friends of the
equine race. Mr.. Belmont owns any
number of horses, all of the best breed,
and shows quite as much care for Their
comfort as he does for that of his clerks.
In fact, Mr.. Belmont is often seen pat
ting one of his horses gently on the head
and giving the animal apples and pieces
of sugar for lunch, and | wouldn't mind
betting two to one that no one ever saw
him treating one of his clerks the same
way. Well, Mr.. Belmont got out of his
carriage at the Fifth-avenue entrance to
Central Park, the other day, and stood
for a moment, thinking. Before he could
say either Jack Robinson or Gen. Grant,
an old horse connected with the grocery
trade came along and knocked him
down. Not satisfied with this, the ole
grocery horse hit Mr.. Belmont on the
head with his hoofs and made some ugly
bruises. The driver sat in his wagon
and did not seem to care much whether
the old horse killed Mr.. Belmont or not
"No, the horse isn't grateful ANNA
at all. A friend of mine on Slater
Island hitched horse to new Wagon
the other day, and the result was worse
than a whole Zulu war. The horse had
acted honorably enough when he ha6
only an old wagon to draw, but the mo.
ment he found himself between the shaft.
of the new one, all the sense he ever haC
seemed to leave him. His owner wa.
seen next over in New Jersey, lookin!
for fragments of the wagon that h,
thought had been kicked across the Xii
Won Kull, and he wanted to know if an,
Jerseyman had good mule to hire ou
for kicking match"

Amusements at Sea.

All the Cunard and other large steam
ships possess a good library for light
reading, besides which there are many
little statements for relieving the te-
dunn of the first-class passengers. When
the weather is fine there are games of
shovel-board on the deck, that draw a
number of players and onlookers. The
pieces of wood are fiat discs, easily hand
led in showing them along to goal, as
in the case of bowls. This forms an
agreeable recreation, and affords good
exercise. When outdoor amusement is
impracticable, the saloon has its cluster
of passengers, busy at something or
other. One party will be playing whist
another is eagerly watching game at
chess a third party will be listening to
thrilling tale of the sea by an old salt I;
a fourth party is attending to game at
backgammon. In the evening, when
lamps are lit, there is sometimes kind
of musical concert, for which an oblig-
ing young lady, or perhaps musically
inclined purser, presides AT the piano.
Often in ships ofthis description there is a
good deal of heavy betting. The bets
will be as to the day and hour of arrival
at port, what will be the number of the
first pilot-boat that presents itself, and
so on some of the bets being sufficiently
ridiculous and the cause of much fun,
but also the loss of a good deal Of money.
In all the well-regulated vessels, the ship
officers are strictly excluded from gam
ing or betting.
The youngsters who happen to be on
board have their own amusement in the
games and sports of children. To these
| juveniles, the COW is an object of much
interest. The poor animal, which is re-
quired for the sake of its milk, occupies

Money

1t heals lacerated honor, satisfies jus
tice and buys square meal. Everything
re solves itselfinto cash, from corner"
in corn to the building of churches.
Children ask for pennies, youth aspires
to dimes and quarters, manhood is sway
ed by the almighty dollar. The black
smith swings the sledge, the lawyer
pleads for his client, and heiudge decides
the question of life or death for money.
Money makes the man; therefore man
must make the money, if he would be re-
spected. Our old neighbor, Ben Frank
lin, once said knowledge is power
Fogy idea. Money is power. Money.
with little feeble help, shoves the world
ahead and keeps business moving. Money
Steinways and builds marble mansions.
1t drives us to church in splendid " turn
OUT" it secures the best pews, and in
some places itpays the parson. 1t buys
a Paisley and rich satins for the madam,
splendid silks, laces and kerchiefs for
Matilda Jane Anna. 1t commands the
respect of gaping crowds and secures the
most obsequiOus attention.
Money is useful. 1t enables us to be
kind and charitable, to send tracts and
Bibles to the heather in surrounding
cities. Itmakes and straightens railroads
and builds airline railways. Money is a
big thing on salt-wells. Money bids care
Danish. 1t is a soother in sickness. Its
power stops short of nothing save the
ug ly mouth of the grim messenger, whose
relentless hand spares no one, but levels
all earthly distinctions, and teaches poor
humanity that it is but dust At the
brink of eternity money goes back on us.
The beggar and the millionaire rest side
by side beneath the sod, to raise in equal

The Dreaded NihiIists.

The Russian Nihilists brand as well as
kill their victims. One day recently the
police discovered near the Kasan cathe-
dral in St. Petersburg the body of man
lying in pool of blood with a dagger
by his side. The throat was cut nearly
through. On the corpse was label
and upon this, inscribed in letters evil
IDENTIFY written with red ink, were the
following Words" Ivan Sabego, twenty
three years of age, of the Medico-
Chirurgical Academy, is hereby SEN
fenced to the punishment of death, as q
traitor.-The Socialist Revolutionary
Executive Committee One of the most
significant points in connection with
the movement is the understanding
which is known to exist between the
secret societies and the lower class of
officials, notably the gendarmes. In
Moscow very large numbers of the police
have been transported to Siberia for sup
posed completely in the conspiracies.
The gendarmerie have in many instances
connived at the posting of the seditious
placards, which have been found on the
walls of the corridors in government
establishments. That the higher Off
cials and administrators by no means
rely upon the faithfulness of their sub
ordinates is clearly evident from the fact
that the police in Moscow, Kieff, Char
kof and Warsaw are being continually
changed in order to prevent any tamper-
ing with this class of public servants,
who in Russia are particularly open to
the temptation of a bride, and seldom
see anything they are sufficiently well
paid to be blind to. Another source of
great uneasiness to the government is
the inexplicable fact that the Nihilists
have apparently at. their command am
pie funds for printing presses, paper,
agents and spies in all the principal
towns of the empire.
