Great Pyramid OF Egypt.

An English architect, Mr.. lite, has
been figuring up the cost of the great
pyramid near Gizet. It's original dimen-
slons at the base were 764 square feet,
and it has perpendicular height of
4SS feet, covering four acres one rod.
twenty-five perches of ground. It con-
sumed 7S,02S,000 cubic feet of stone and
Mr.. lite adds that it could not now be
built for less than e3O,OO0,O00. The joints
of the large casing blocks of granite
were SO tine as to be scarcely perceptible,
not thicker than paper, and the mortar
was SO adhesive that the stones. in some
cases, broke through their substance
rather than give way at their iointing.
The cost, therefore, of this structure.
reduced to federal currency, was S145,,
100000, sum large enough to build and
put IN running order six good substan-
tial railroads between New York and
the Atlantic and San Francisco on the
Pacific.

The Farmers Garden.

The garden is of scarcely less import
ance to the farmer than the farm itself
1t is really in advance of the farm when
we consider the comforts of home. The
farm supplies the substantials, such as
meat and bread, and replenishes the
purse, which, of course, is the mainitem,
but it is the garden that the good house
wife is indebted to for the many side
dishes served ups regularly three times
day, which play such an important
part in making the life of the farmer
desirable above that of other men. If
the garden is neglected, it's influence
must be felt three times day through
out the entire year. And how uncom-
Portable it must be to the good husband
man to hear his faithful wife remark
thousand times during this period, "Well,
| have nothing to cook" To provide
the larder well is the farmers first duty.
This he owes to himself and his family.
Then let him plant a good garden; not
merely patch of potatoes and few
rows of peas, but let him select choice
spot of ample size, manure it well, put
it in good order, and from his seed cata-
logue select every variety of vegetable
seed that will do we'll in our climate.
Plant your seed in the proper time,
and tend them well, so that through the
following year, instead of having moth
ing to cook, your wife will find it diff
cult to select from among the good
things in her larder those necessary for
a meal The usual mode Of gardening
is little better than having no garden at
all. Do not be content with the usual
slip-shod way of doing things, but do
them right The time spent in the gar
den is not lost. 1t pays better compare
lively than the labor in the fields and
above all things else, do not let it be put
off until the other work is done, but
prepare your garden spot and SOW the
seed as early as the season will admit,
and continue to SOW as the time arrives
for the planting of different seed for
vegetables for late use.

Fate of the Shenandoah.

Everybody has heard of the Shenan-
doah, the notorious privateer Of the
Southerners of the American civil war /;
but do not suppose that many know
what was the ultimate fate Of the ship
when the war ended. Of all places in
the world, she now lies 'fathomless" on
he island Of Socotra, in the Arabian
gulf. Her story is a strange one. She
was busy burning whalers in Behring
Straits, when Waddell, her commander,
the "mildest hammered man who ever

The First Slave Case in England.

A planter brought to London slave
called James Somerset, in III, and
when he fell i'll, inhumanly turned him
out of doors. Mr.. Granville Sharp, a
philanthropic barrister, found him in the
Street, placed him in the hospital, where
he recovered his health, and then got
after, his Old master arrested and impris-
oned him as runaway slave. Mr.. Sharp
brought the case before the Lord Mayor,
who ordered the negro to be set at lib
erty. But the master seized him vio-
lently in presence of the Lord Mayor
and Mr.. Sharp, on which the latter
brought an action against the master for
assault. The question of law was finally
referred to the twelve judges, in Feb
ruary and May of that year, who decided
unanimously that no man can be ac-
counted slave on English territory.
This decision is often quoted as though
the soil of Great Britain made a slave
free; but that is legal fiction. Evi-
IDENTIFY, it is only when slave (so-called)
comes within the reach Of an English
court that his freedom is declared.
At that time the American colonia'
were beg inning their quarrel with Great
Britain, but had not renowned allie
glance All the colonies were subject to
the common law of England; and if in
Virginia and Jamaica there had been a
Judge as upright and able as Lord Mans
field, and philanthropist as Jealous as
Granville Sharp, it would seem that
slavery might have been dissolved by a
few judicial trials.
