Russian Farm Life.

The Russians have one custom which
is common in the farming districts OF
Europe generally. Instead OF having
each house near the center Of the farm,
and the houses a long distance apart, as
with us, the farmer does not generally
live on his farm. The houses are built
in village, with possibly the barns and
granaries near thehouse, or on the home
lot, but the land that is cultivated may
be two or three or more miles away.
The people have to travel far and spend
much time in going to and coming from
work, but it makes farm life more socia-
BILE, as the people can see one another
and enjoy many things that are not pos
sible where all are scattered far and
wide. Ii might be well if We adopted
something of this plan in this country;
both methods haveItheir advantages, and
the people are slowto give up their old
ways. One writer says that he travelled
in Russia for miles and miles, and saw
nothing but wheat field after wheat field,
varied with wide tracks where horses
and cattle pastured, but no fences any
where. At last he saw some curious
green objects in the distance shaped
like enormous pears; at length he made
out that these were cupolas of the church,
and before he was aware OF it, he was
upon the village, with no other warning
than the barking of dogs. Russian
farmers, like poor people everywhere,
keep an abundance of worthless ours.
The small log houses are all alike, and
arranged in several rows, with wide
streets between them half a mile or
more long. at one end of the village is
the church, with its cupolas, at the
other the larger house of the land own
or who rents the farms TO the tenants.
Small granaries-square huts without
windows-stand in the middle Of the
street, and long rows Of tall poles show
that water is raised by the old fashioned
we'll sweep. In some places, where
logs can be had only by hauling for great
distances, the villages are OF mud
houses, built of bricks merely dried in
the sun, and these, while they cannot be
called handsome, are said to be very
comfortable in the long cold winters.
Pigs, poultry and ours run at large in
the streets, and when stranger enters
these make great fuss.

Taking Things for Granted.

Taking things for granted is an error
TO which people ofthis age are prone.
Pleased with theif church pastor, be-
lieving in the doctrine he teaches, and
comfortable in their supposed surety Of
salvation, they regard it as unnecessary
to do more than listen to the sermon,
leaving to opposing diyines the task Of
turning the production on every side, to
find its flaws, and argue upon its merits.
Tho vigor and exhilaration which come
from keen thinking and examination in
to the reasons for presented facts and
theories, will never fail to reward those
who are ready to fling aside their accus-
toned inertness, and gain to themselves
the freshness and sweetness which re-
ig ious truths, however opposed, finally
bring to the mind. In social life we are
slow in outgrowiug old and useless cere.
monies, which hamper and restrain that
free vitalizing spirit which should draw
us each to the other, by showing forth
individual characteristics which would
soon come to be acknowledged as COM
mon to all. We live by the rule and line
Of opinion, and fear to show the special
divine qualities which, in one shape or
another, we all possess, lest it shall meet
with surprise, discussion, and probable
condemnation, from that paradox who is
and is not-Mrs. Grundy. Those who
lift themselves from the dreary level of
general views, to the plane of their
nobler and better conceptions, will,
though perhaps tabooed as eccentric,
still breathe the pure air Of their higher
altitude, and gain that health of mind
and soul which follows moral bravery.

SeIf.DefenSe Among Plants.

One of the means of self-defense
among plants, says DR.. Francis Darwin,
in recent lecture, is the presence of
poisonous alkaloids. Thus ruminants
will not eat such plants rs nightshade
(belladonna) ,monkshood (acOnite), ,helle.
bore, thorn apple (Stramonistnal, peony,
veratrum, and hemlock (coniun). Many
plants are protected by their poisonous
milky juices, as the spurgea (euphorbiae)
poppy, celandine, and others. In the
strychnoS nur vomica, the poisonous
alkaloid strychnia is contained in the
seeds, its whole object being to prevent
them and the young plants contained in
them from being injured, the feshy
parts of the fruit being quite harmless
and eaten by the natives. This eatable
part surrounding the seeds entices birds
to swallow them, that they may be dis
tributed after and by passing through
the animals bodies. Bitter almonds
are comparatively safe from the attacks
of mice, whereas sweet almonds are
much injured by them. In addition to
an almost endless series of poisonous
plants, there are those which contain
essential oils having pungent aromatic
odor or taste. Thus the fennel, anise,
caraway and Others bave otherwise un-
protected seeds, which are safe from the
attack of birds on this acoount. In
Brazil the lime alone of all the orange
tribe is distasteful to the leaf cutting
ants, probably owing to an oil similar to
that which gives the strong taste and
odor to orange peel; and this fact has
decided the fate of the tree, for it is the
only species OF the tribe which has been
able to establish itself beyond the limit
OF cultivation, the orange, citron, etc.,
growing only where protected by man.
Turpentine in fir leaves serves as o pro-
lection against cattle. The aromatic
flavor of mint is q defense against brows-
ing animals, and as it is frequented by a
large number OF insects it affords an
analogy to the nettles and thorns, which
are resorted to by butterflies and birds
to rear their young. Flowers are usual
ly more acrid than the plants which
bear them, and are thus protected from
destruction by browsing animals and
other foes, by being uneatable. Cater
pillars will die Of hunger rather than
eat the flowers of the plants whose leaves
form their natural food.

Senator Thurman recently told in
Congress how appropriation bills are
passed by the peoples representatives.
He said: Until the last session l do
not recollect, although it may be de-
feet of memory at present, case of the
yeas and nays being called on an appro-
priation bill. There may have been
such an instance, but I cannot recall it,
it made 80 little impression on me.
These bills usually pass as matter OF
course. ] shall never forget the sur
prise with which I saw an appropriation
bill, making appropriations, according
to my recollection, of about So, 100000,
pass this body at the first session that I
had seat here. There were in this
Senate at the time that bill passed Just
four Senators.
'There was the Senator from Maine
(Mr. Fessenden), the chairman Of the
committee on appropriations, who sat,
if / recollect Alright, where the Senator
from New York now sits. There was the
Senator from Iowa (Mr. Harlan), chair
man OF the committee on Indian affairs.
II was the Indian appropriation bill. I
went over and sat by the side of Mr..
Fessenden while the bill was under con-
sideration. and my friend from Mime
sofa (Mr. Ramsey, sat in his seat over
yonder and wrote letters. There were
four OF us, and we voted away so. 0O0,-
900 Of the peoples money at that sitting.
Five hundred thousand dollars apiece.
We did not vote that exactly, for there
sat Mr.. Fessenden with the bill before
him, and there sat the Senator from
Iowa, the chairman of the committee on
Indian affairs, with long list Of amend
ments to offer; and when he offered an
amendment, Mr.. Fessenden, If he ap-
proved it, would nod, and then it went
in; il he shook his head it did not 60 in,
for there could not be vote; there was
no quorum. And so they two, with
their mods and their shakes, shook ont ol

way appropriation bills toe often pass

Singular Oversight.

Few know that an unnaturalized
British subject once served two years in
our national House OF Representatives.
The Natchez, Miss, Democrat contains
letter written by Lawyer j.. Stafford,
at Magnolia, to Colonel j. f. FL. Clai-
borne, at Natchez, naming W. FL. Ham
NETT as the foreign Congressman. Mr..
Hammett was elected to Congress by
Mississippi Democrats in 1S43 and serv-
ed out his full term, no one appearing
to discover his ineligibility. For proof
Mr.. Stafford calls attention to an act OF
the Mississippi legislature, passed Au.
gust s, 1862, for the relief of the widow
Hammett. As Mr.. Hanmet was an
alien at the time Of his death the aci
was passed to transfer hisproperty, that
had escheated to the State to Mrs. Ham
NETT.

Germans and Irish in New York.

Statistics of birth registration collect
ed from official sources in New York
city, give some curious results. If the
figures are trustworthy they show that
the Gsrman-American population Of that
city is increasing in much greater ratio
than the Irish-American. BY the CEN
sus of 1875 New York city contained
1919, ,084 Irish and 165, 021 Germans. In
both cases the number of males exceed
ed the number of females in the proper
tion Of six to four. The number of
children born of German parents was
80, 528, the number born of Irish parents
was 20, 269. Thus nearly twice as many
German children were born as Irish,
although there is smaller German pop
ulation. 1t is estimated that OF every
/ 900 children born in New York 403 are
German and oil are Irish, American 241.
This would indicate that the German
breed is destined in time to supplant the
others on this Continent, but the city of
New York is not a safe test. History
shows that the English race not only
holds its own but assimilates other races
that try to compete with it. The second
generation, though both parents be
German, are more near to tie American
than the Teutonic type. The children
often will hardly speak German with
their parents, and take no pride in their
descent, preferring to be considered
Americans,

sons presidency OF the United States he
spent in his private room, in company
with friends, awaiting the breaking OF
the day which should free him from the
cares OF office. Suddenly he remarked:
Gentlemen, l think the occasion will
warrant me in breaking over one Of my
own rules. Let us drink a little Ma
deira. The wine was brought. jack
son took small glassful--it was the first
liquor he had been known to touch for
several months-and then, asking his
friends to excuse him for q few moments,
he finished writing letter upon which
he was engaged, sealed, directed it, and
lighting his cob pipe again, took a Whit
Or two, and stood silently watching the
face of great, tall, old.fashioned clock
which stood in one corner. 1t was five
minutes before midnight five minutes
before the beginning of the day upon
which Andrew Jackson would cease to
be President of the United States
Slowly the minute-hand moved round
the dial. The silence in the room be.
came almost painful. II was broken by
the clear, sharp bell Of the clock striking
the last hour of day which had gone
forever. Then Jackson, starting sud-
denly and looking toward his friends,
said, with quick, nervous laugh: 'Gen-
tlemen, 1 am no longer President of the
United States, but as gopd a citizen as
any of you.' Subsequently he expressed
to them feeling of great relief at the
prospect OF escaping from the official
cares which had begun TO weigh most
heavily upon him, saying: Il am very
glad to get away from all this excitement
and bother. That day Van Buren was
inaugurated President OF the United
States, and Jackson, at the end of his
second term, left the White House-left
it so poor that he was obliged to borrow
from his friends $1,000 with which to
rebuild Hermitage his old family man
sion, which some time before had been
burned to the ground.

Engineer James Wood, of the New
York Central abroad, had singular
experience one day during his trip to
Utica on the special express. At differ
ent points two men attempted to drive
wagons across the track, and in both
instances the rash men were killed. In
each case the coroner's jury exonerated
the engineer from blame. On the same
trip, when near Syracuse, he saw man
ahead of him on the track, and woman
with o big sun bonnet on was approach
ing the man, and freight train was
running abreast Of them on the other
track. Neither heard the approaching
train. The engine was reversed, and
the whistle sounded. Just in time to
save hia life, the man heard the whistle,
turned around and cried out to the wo-
man, and both barely escaped being
run down.

A Triumph Of Mechanical Genius,


The English correspondent of New
York journal describes wonderful ma.
chine which he saw at work in Brad
ford, Yorkshire. It was the invention
of Mr.. 'Binn, a practical silk weaver;
and il the account is true, as there
SCENE to be no reason to doubt, is des.
tined to work q revolution in the weav-
ing of the worlds fabrics. AS yet the
machine has been put to work only upon
silken cords and braids for trimmings
and the like, but the inventor claims it
can be used for multifarious designs in
weaving. Ali it requires is to be kept
clean, to be supplied with motive power,
and have abundance of material to feed
from, and it can be run from Monday
morning till Saturday night, without
attendance. Whereas Mr.. Binns used
to employ numerous hands to watch
and wait on the old machines, all he
now requires is an engineer, book
keeper and one man to keep the ma
chimes clean and fabricated and to see
they do not run out of material. Thus
the mill can run night and day without
cessation. The machine is so complete
that if a thread breaks itinstantly stops,
picks up the thread by means of wire
hooks, joins them and once more re-
sumes its spinning as methodically as
human being. The correspondent saw
fifteen machines working thus automat-
ically, and their product was marvel Of
nnatnaHa.

After an Immense Fortune.

Ex-Gov. W. T. NJ. Army, OF New Mex
leo, is on his way to England, with
proofs of his kinsnip with the Hyde
brothers, whose immense property has
for so many years been bone Of con-
tention between the rightiul heirs and
the British crown. The lord high chan
cellor OF England rendered a decision
this year in reference to the Hyde es
tate, that it is in the nature OF personal
property and not real estate, and hence
properly falls to the descendants instead
of reverting to the crown. Elk. Gov.
Army has hunted up twenty-five heirs
besides himself, and instead of trying to
limit the number by maintaining a deal
of secrecy about the matter, announces
that he will endeavor to secure an equal
division among all descendants who
come forward and clearly prove their
titles. The value Of this prospective
windfall is a triAe of $3.50, 000,000, the
accumulation of scores Of years Of inter
est and judicious investment by the
Bank of England. Ex- Gov. Army is o
native Of Georgetown, DO, but since
his twentieth year has made his home on
the Western frontier.
