VictOria's ApprehensiOns.

Queen Victoria was strangely moved
when she heard the news of the at
tempted assassination of the car. She
has a morbid dread least somebody shall
take it into his head to put an end to
her happy reign by shooting her. She
never travels even from Windsor to Lon.
don without an escort of from three to
twelve stalwart gentlemen. Four OF
these attendants went to Italy with her
to enjoy the scenery and to protect her
against assassins. A correspondent of
The Cardiff Times relates an incident OF
the 1een's passage through Edinburgh a
few years ago. She had gone thither to
unveil q statue of the prince consort.
The city was full from gate to gate with
a royal and enthusiastic population. All
went well with the procession, till, Just
as it was about to turn into the square
in which the statue is erected, 8 sudden
gtoppage occurred. The queen, who was
sitting in an open carriage, seemed struck
with q sudden terror. she started,
clenched the side of the carriage with her
hand, and, with every vestige of color
fed from her face, huriedly asked what
was the matter. 1t was nothing but q
cavalry horse performing maneuvers not
included in the programme, but it seemed
as if she thought that smother brainless
boy had been caught with his obsolete
musket loaded with red handkerchlefs,
and his head filled.with designs on the
life of the queen OF England.

Retter tl,..n scarecrow..

For several years we have published
every spring directions for preventing
crows from pulling corn by covering the
seed with tar, and we reprint them
below, hoping that au our readers who
are troubled by crews will follow them,
for we believe this method the cheapest,
easiest. and most successful ever devised ;
indeed, as far as our experience and
observations 60, it is absolutely perfect.
Crows will not pull corn which is COW
cred with tar, and it costs but a few
cents in money and few minutes time
20 coat all the seed that any farmer
uses.
For peck of corn take half pint of
common tar; put the tar into kettle,
pour in three quarts of boiling water.
Stir it for moment, or until the tar is
dissolved; then as quickly as possible
pour Ia the corn, and stir it rapidly uns
til every kernel has got a black coat.
Then turn of the water and throw IN 3
shovelful Of land plaster or rosdedust,
and stir the mixture until all the ker-
nels are separated and covered with the
plaster or dust. The last addition is
merely to prevent the corn from sticking
and enable one TO drop it readily. Some
people are are afraid 10 use this plan, ior
fear the corn will De cooked by the hot
water, so it will not sprout, but if you
work rapidly there isn't bit of danger.
The water can not be too hot when you
begin. The corn will be a little longer
in coming up, but it will come and the
crows won't touch it. Mirror and

Unon the death OF Matthew.

Matthews. Upon the death OF Matthews
the power returned, Sly said, to Hunt,
and when Hunt should die the millen>
mum would come in the twinkling OF an
eye. -,
But there were to be more horrible
tragedies arising from the teachings or
Mrs. Wakeman, and the hands OF her
disciples were to be laid upon upright
men outside of her little band OF fanatics.
The next victim was Enech Sperry, a
good man, without an enemy in the
world, and the father Of the Hon. A.
D. Sperry, for many years postmaster
of New Haven, and at that time
Cannecticut's secretary OF state.
Enoch Sperry lived on a fam
in the town of Woodbridge. On New
Years day (January l, 1850, a week
after the murder of Matthews, he started
to drive into this city. When q short
distance from his home he met Charles
Sanford, twentv-eight years old, dis
ciple of Mrs. Wskemsn, the nephew of
the widow of the murdered Matthews,
and also the nephew of Almeron Sanford,
who tied Matthews hands, and who Is
now living near this city. Young Sans
ford had an Ak on his shoulder. With
this, without warning, he struck the old
man on the head, burying the blade in
his brain He then took the body from
the sleigh and cut its head of. Leaving
the remains by the side of the road, he
proceeded to the hou Of another old
farmer and much-respected man, Isaac
Umberfeld. Meeting him in the house
he engaged him in conversation, and
suddenly killed him with his AK. UNI
berfeld's head he also cut of. He was
soon captured, but after a desperate re-
sistance. The spirit, be said, had told
him to kill these two old men. He was
convicted and sentenced to be hanged.
but fatal attack of smallpox cheated
the gallows.

SOUTHERN FARM AND HOME.


When we suggested the cremation OF
all animal and vegetable refuse Dy tDe
establishne OF furnaces along the
water front, we pointed out reliable
means of converting 8 colec'lon ol
loathsome and disease oreeolng InsIUef
into a perfectly innocuous ana even
valuable material for fl1ing or manure.
That garbage can be burned to pure
sshes without causing any disagreeable
odors Is beyond question. Many house
keeners in this city never throw out
garbage 70 burden the air with horrible
stenches. They burn it with a full
draught in their stoves and ranges, and
do not experience the least trouble or
Inconvenience on account OF smells IN
40 doing. What can be done in one
household can be done in one thousand.
The false economy that spares few
pounds of coal, and fills the old barrel
in the back yard with rotting vegetables
and animal refuse, is RESPONSIBLE for
much of the garbage difficulty. Let
the city build furnaces out of the money
that can he very easily saved by judi
cious reduction of the expenses O., say,
the STRENGTHENING bureau, and with
these burn the garbage of the poor; but
the citizens who are able to keep kitchen
stoves or ranges sh, uld burn all the
refuse in these and deposit nothing on
the sidewalk receptacle but ashes. The
reader may ask: How can this be done
Will not a terrible smell result from the
burning Of the entrails of fowls, fish
homes. fat and other things that go to
swell the garbage heap We say, emPhat-
ically, no, II the cOmmOnest care Is taken
in the arrangements for the cremation
We pre- suppose, of course, that there is g
moderately good stove available. Now,
when the afternoon cooking is just COM
pleted the fire Is strongest and clearest.
Let the refuse of the day-the dust
swept from the carpets, the parings OF
potatoes, pieces OF vegetable OF every
kind, fat, bones. offal Of fowls, intestines
OF fsh-be collected and ready for
cremation. Two or three pounds OF dry
coal put on the fire viii furnish all the
fuel needed. The refuse or garbage j;
packed right down from the top opening
of the range plate on the fire and ther
all coverings are put on, but the damper'
are opened wide and the draught sci
with its fullest power up the chimney
The result is that the bottom OF the
garbage is st once On fire, it burns, anc
the gases and vspors are carried directly
through the flames of combustion snc
into the chimney. As the fire get
stronger with the drsught of air the
combustion is more rapid, until every
particle of matter deposited is consumed
With common care it is physically i'm
possible that any malodorous gases Of
vapers can escape into the apartment
because the tendency of the air from
every direction is toward the fire and VI
the chimney. Setting down the cost 0
coal at FIVE dollars, we will add to i
that of a little trouble taken in well
ordered households every afternoon
The sum will represent the cost pc
annum to cremate the garbage of eacl
family. In this way enc of the excuse
for the inefficiency of the streetNcleanin!
bureau would be rendered vain.

Sentenced for Life,

The Jury in the Cox case were out all
the night and came in st noon to-day to
be recharged in full. At 9:45 they came
in and announced that they had agreed
upon a verdict. 1t was detained to cor
rect an informslity and was then read as
follows " We, the jury, find the pris-
,ner guilty, and recommend that he be
punished by imprisonment for life in the
penitentisry." Cox received the verdict
with calmness, having evidently nerved
himself for the worst. His wife on
hearing the words so fatal to her hopes
sat for a moment trembling with emo
ton, and iben rushed for an open window
near by, with the purpose to throw her
self to the ground below. She was wild
with grief, and reached the window,
where she was caught by Cox, who held
her fast. She threw her arms around
his neck and chung to him wildly ex-
claiming, "Oh, my God Oh, my poor
darlingp Her shrieks were heartrende
ing, and the occupants of the crowded
court room could not restrain tears OF
pity. Judge Hillyer sentenced Cox to
be confined in the penitentiary or such
other place as the governor may direct,
at hard labor for and during his natural
life. General Gatrell gave notice that
the defence would make 8 motion for a
new trial, and prayed writ of super
sedeas. Execution of sentence was
thereupon stayed twenty days. The PEN
atty is virtually the extreme OF the law
in this state, as i law passed with Al
ston's aid by the Legislature, giving juries
the right to recommend life imprison-
ment In all cases of murder as they see
fit, in effect abolishes the death penalty.
Cox is the first man convicted since the
passage OF the act. .-.---r-.--

The Home Of LeprOsy.

4 brief description of leprosy as it
presents itselt ia China may not be IN
interesting to the general public, and
even to many members of the medical
profession, whose acquaintance with the
peculiar characters of the disease IS
vague. Il occurs in three forms, which
are not entirely distinct, but are merged
one into the other. FIrst-snd generally
the incipient conditiOn-what is termed
Ia scientific please anes.thesia, or i'm
pairment of nervous sensibility in part
or parts of the body. Secondly, eraI-
thetic leprosy, where the loss of sensibil
ity is attended with scaly eruptiors,
wasting and shriveling Of the skin and
sweat-glands (henCe an unperspirable
condition of the affected parts) and
ultimately by entire falling out of the
hair, eyebrows and eyelashes, Accom-.
panyiDg the external numbness there
may be or may not be internal pain in
the limbs. UlceTatiOns are apt to occur
from rude contact with bodies, through
lack of warning protection afforded by
the perfect sense of touch. Thirdly,
tubercnlar leprosy, when in addition to
the above symptoms, there is local
morbid deposit in the affected regions.
When this occupies the tissues tnderly-
ing the skin of the face and the cheeks,
the countenance assumes leonine
breadth, a satyric stare, or seems as If
cast in bronze. When it is deposited
under the forehead, the heavy, betting
brows give an expression OF hebetude
and depression to the face, as if the SUBJ
iects OF it were laboring, as in sad truth
they are, under some horrible incubus,
which they are powerless to shake of.
Immense thickening Of the integument
of the lower extremities is common, and
is often accompanied with deep ulcers
tions. Frequently there is an eruption
of detached cOpper-colored tubercles,
sometimes as q bronze or mahogany rash,
whence the native name of Ma-mung,
or spotted leprosy, Destruction Of the
bones and joints, particularly Of the
hands and feet, is a common sequel Q
this form of the disease. The eyes
become bloodshet, the sense of smell
impaired or lost, the voice hoarse and
nasal, the throat sore, and the breath
foul. Entire freedom from pain and
suffering is quite usual, and is no less
remarkable than the absence of any
arrangement Of the general health. In
all instances, however, there is q marked
dssCiency CT vital energy.
Thlre Is ne evidence that the disease
is Induced by any peculiar diet, whether
of fish orot other food. There is not the
least proof Of any connection between
leprosy and syphilis, although, OF course
they may co-exisU, as is commonly the
case in the Sandwich islands.

Protect the system from sI,Iaria.

II is possible to do this even in regions OF
country where miasma is most rite, and
where the periodic fevers which 1t causes
assume their most formidable types. The
Immense popularity of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters isvery largely attributable TO the fact
of its efficacy as remedy for chills and
fever, bilious remittents, and as preventive
of the various forms of malarisl disease. In
those portions OF the West and South where
complaints of this nature prevsil, and in the
Tropics it is particularly esteemed for the
protective influence which it exsrts; and 1t
mas been very widely adopted as a substitute
for the dangerous and comparatively inefec
tive alkaloid, sulphate of quinine. Physi-
clans have not been among the last TO con-
cede its merits, and the emphatic PROBES
sional Endorsements which 1t has received
have added to the reputation it has obtained
at home and abroad.

FARM NOTES.

Mr.. David Gray told the Oneids
county farmers club that he had raised
tsir crop of potatoes in poor soil by
placing the seed as near the top of the
ground as possible; putting one good
hoeful eff soil on, then covering the hill
with a large handful of wood ashes. In
Milling, the ashes are covered, and rain

ons raised from fresh seed bear a large
proportion of male flosers and very few
female flowers, while, on the other hand.
seedlings raised from old seed will bear

Breeds in Poultry.-"I have de-
cided that for both meat and eggs no
variety ranks higher than the light
Brshma. Possibly the Plymouth Rock
ranks nearly as high. The brown Leg

sitters. They are admirable layers ex-
cept in cold weather, when ] found them

1t is not capital that most farmers
most need at either low or high rates OF
interest, but quiet persevering industry,
coupled with economy. Farming is in
no sense a speculative business. Capt.
tai can not be turned over in a short
time. True farming, and the farming
that succeeds in the end, produces lis
own capital. Let the best farmers in
the world borrow large sums OF money
at the very lowest rates .of interest, and
the operation will break nine out of
every ten. The soil is the farmers CAPT
tai, and he must use his labor in con.
formity with the seasons to make his in
come. II the out-runs the seasons in his
haste to grow rich, he viii surely fail
| That aversion to conform TO the sunshine
snd the rain, to move in concert with the
seasons, and the disposition to control
them, brings failure to the farmer. He
is apt to persuade himself that the great
lever to enable him TO do this, is bor-
rOwed money.

The Rims of Szegedin.

4 correspondent of the Paris Steele,
speaking OF the work going on at the
ruined city of Szegedin, says: "The
work of simply clearing away the ruins
is gigantic; however, men are engaged
on it day and night, even by torch-!ight.
Dead bodies are constantly being found.
Only few days ago the whole family of
Prof. Szbabadi was got out. The unfor-
tunate people, nine in number, were
seen at the time of the disaster on the
top of their house, asking for help. But
the ruins still contain masses of human
bodies and those of animals in an adj
vanced stage of decomposition. The
air is poisoned, and nothing is done to
disinfect it, and yet the matter must not
be postponed until the water has wholly
subsidized, for then the catastrophe might
be succeeded by epidemics."
