Mr.. EreiSman. United States consul
general at Berlii:, in his despatch to the
Department of State, dated Oct. 80.
1879, communicat tes y description Of Il
new y-tliseOycred process for the pre-
servation OF deadhodics. The inventor,
or discoYerer, had secured patent for
the process, but the G German Government
attachins great Importance to the invent
tton, induced the patentee to abandon
his patent. Thcreupon tho Government
made public, through the press, full
description of the process. The liquid
used is prepared as follows; In 5000
grammcs of boiling water are dissolved
100 grammes of alum, % grammes Of
cooking salt, II grammes salpctre, 60
grammcs potash, and 10 grammes arsen-
ic acid. The solution is then allowed to
cool and filter. TO 10 litres OF this neu-
tral, cOlorless, odorless liquid, litres
glyccrine and l nitritethylic alcohol
are to be added. The process of
preserving Cor embalming) dead
bodies by means of this liquid con-
sists, as rule, in saturating and i'm
pregnating those bodies with it. From
l = to 5 litres Of the liquid are used for
a body, acool ding to its size. The bod
les prepared by t.is process are said
to retain their form, color and fexibil-
ity. Even after a period Of years such
dead uodies may be uissected for pur-
poses of science and criminal iuris-
prudence; decay and the offensive
smell of decay are completely preven-
ted. Upon inclsion the muscular flesh
shows the same appearance as in the
case of a flesh dead body. Prepara-
tions made Of the several parts, such as
natural skeletons, lungs, entrails, etc.,
pretain their softness and liability.

BRANDING CATrLE.-- Tanners COM
plain, and with reason, Of the damage
caused by the reckless use Of the brand
ing iron upon Western cattle. Brand
ing may be n necessary cruelty, but
that 1t IS Il painful operation cannot be
doubted, rs the branding irons must
penetrate to the flesh, to make an in
dcliblc mark. But leaving out Of the
question the humane aspect Of the case,
and regarding only tho practical ques-
tiOn of the danger to the hide, it might
be suggested that some other spot than
the flank or broadside might be chosen
as the place for the brand. This is the
most valuable part Of the hide, the
damage there, seriously reduces the
| value Of the leather. The Sandwich
Islands furnish a few hides for the
American market, and the brand upon
| these is placed on the leg above the
hook. This does not materially injurc
| the hide, AMI brand there, will be as
plainly seen by cowboy at a "round-
up" Perhaps some other method Of
marking cattle might be invented, that
would avoid the necessity tor the pain
tul branding. There are seven colors
that cannot be mistaken, and IL might
be practical innovation to mark cattle
with these, as sheep are marked upon
the wool, choosing different parts Of
the body, as we'll as different combina-
tions of colors, and shapes Of markings,
ETC., for the cattle Of different owners

AGRICULTURE.

OCCUPATION DURING WINTER.--As
agriculture is at present conducted In
the prairie regions of the wcst, farmers
arc virtually without remuneratlve oc-
equations from tho first Of November
to the first Of April. n few husk corn
and smaller number do Il little team
ing, but as II rule there Is nothing done
in tho line of work except to deal out
food and water to a stock of cattle. At
the time when most farms were fenced
| with rails and wood was generally en-
| plOyed as fuel there was considerable
| work during winter. Chopping down
trees, splitting logs into rails, cutting
wood into suitable lengths for kindling,
drawing them to the farm, and work
| ing the cord-wOod into sticks for the
stove afforded employmcntdu during win
ter. But now coal has taken the place
Of wood for fuel and it requires littlo
or no preparation, while wire hns gen
orally superseded rails or any kind Of
lumber for fencing. Threshing grain
Is now almost entirely done by ma
cLinery and nearly all the corn is shell
led in tho same manner, There Is no
flax or hemp to be worked up. Only
in II few localities is there any tobacco
to be stripped and prepared for market.
Drying apples and other fruits is now
chiefly done In large establishments.
In short, work In and about the farm Is
confined to the corn and stock. If far
mcrs have any other employment II
generally consists in grumbling about
the hard times and in talking politics.
Further south farming operations con-
tinuc later in tho fall and commence
earlier in the spring. There are also
opportunities for earning money in
preparing tobacco, hemp and cotton for
the market. Flowing may be done In
the south almost any time during the
winter. In the states where there are
extensive forests there arc generally
opportunities for earning money by do
ing tcaming for others, ii farmers have
none to do for themselves. In many
cases rs much money Is earned during
tho winter rs during tho summer. In
no other occupation than tarmlngwould
a person expect to succeed who had no
rcmuncrativc employment during five
months of the year. Any merchant
and nearly every manufacturer would
be ruined were he obliged to shut up
his store or manutact0ry on the 1St OF
November and keep it closed till the
beginning Of April. But this is sub
stantially what every western farmer
does. Not only Is he out of employ
mcnt, but his teams are. Ills working
stock as well rs himself arc Of great cX-
pcnsc. They consume IL large portion
Of what they produce during the sum-
mcr. AS to the other animals they arc
generally entirely unproductivc. The
milch cows do not afford half milk
enough to pay for their feed, The
other animals will weigh less and be in
poorer condition in the spring than
when they were put IN winter quarters.
Even the fowls will be kept Mt Il loss.
The eggs they produce will moi pay Ior
the grain they consume. In short,
the gains Of summer arc largely con-
sumcd during the winter.

say that accept the high trust with a realiz-

grateful for the honor conferred. | accept
the nomination upon TIE platform of princi-

come when the best interests Of the country

Why Col. Clark P

Among the candidates for Con.
gressionaI nomination tko NeloS
strongly favors Col. John G. Clark.
1t is fair and due that it states the
reasons:
He was soldier; part of the time
performing that most thank less of
soldlerly duties, conducting q draft
and mastering in recruits. To send
a soldier to Congress from this dis !.
trict weuld be an agreeable novelty.
He is an honest, reliable man. 10
several years mingling with public
men of all shades of opinion in this
district, we have yet to hear bis
bitterest opponent utter word i'm
pugning bis integrity.
He is full man. A large library
and the capacity to appreciate and
use it have put at his command an
immense resource Of political and
miscellaneous facts. This peculiar
ity Of James G. Blaine makes Dem
ocrats dread to meet him in debate;
and Col. Clark could we'll hold his
own and deal heavy blows under
like circumstances.
He is an able man; enc who does
his own thinking, and whose
thoughts are brJsd, vigorous and
clear. Varied information, wide OK.
perience, and sound judgment com.
bine TO give his thoughts weight;
and hence no eau win respect for
tho district he would represent,
standing an equal among the picked
men IN Congress.
We speak these things from per,
sonal acquaintance with Col. Olars.
If the ideal congressman is one who
will be member of national body
and not merely an agent to secure
plumber for and manipulate patron
age in his own home district, then
we have faith that these reasons
will commend themselves 10 the
men who are dissatisfied with mat.
ters as they are. We may add
other reasons Of justice and policy
Other candidates have stood back
trusting TO win o share of Mr.. IA.
zelton's vote when Drawer man
should mskS his nomination impos-
sibls. Col. Clark boldly offered
himself IS the leader Of tho masses
who wanted matters manded and
dared to contest. He alone has
made it possible to nominate ana
other man, WHISTLER that man be
Trea. or Thomas or Vivian. They
arc all good men, and wo could sup.
pert them ohee:fnilv If one oould be
nomiuated. Brt they bava made
no open protest ag-iest the presen.
regime. If Col. Clark shah over
throw it be deserves the fruits OF
his victory snd we believe the pee.
pie will accord il to him gladly
Gel Clark Is a strong candidate.
He is true Republican, unswerv-
ing in adherence 10 those principles
which mako party possible. He is
strong with .he people who know
and welcome him every where.
His kindly greeting and uLassumiug
good fellowship are not reserved
for campaign epochs, but go with
him always.

murdered. A short time ago while
some parties were out in the woods

the appearance Of new made

authorities the grave was opened
when the carcass of stoe. was
found, and it was also currently re.
