The BRstise.

The destruction Of the Bastile, whose
anniversary was recently grandly cele-
brated in Paris, has assumed, though
Of small Importance In Itself, a wholly
,lisproportioned consequence in his
tory because 1t turned the current OF
events at the capital in favor of the
people. When the Bastile was attacked
by an armed mob, infuriated by the
reaotlonary policy Of the court, the
garrison was composed Of but 80 inva-
lid soldiers Of the regular army, and
32 Swiss mercenaries. The negotia-
lions Of the Insurgents with Delaunay
the Governor, merely caused the re-
moval Of the cannon pointing to the
Faubourg St. Antoine, and had no
pacifying effect On tho exasperated
crowd. Some members ofthe mob hay
ing cut the chains Of the first draw
bridge, fight ensued. One Of the
garrison was killed, and one hundred
and fifty of the people were slain and
wounded; but the arrival Of part Of
the Kings forces, who had Joined tho
popular cause, with four field pieces,
rendered further defence of no avail.
Delaunay, who had been prevented
from blowing the fortress into tho air
by firing the magazine allowed tho Sec
ond draw.bridge to be lowered, and the
bowling, frantic populace rushed across
1t, killing the Governor and several of
his officers On the spot. The day fol-
lowing, July l5, 1889, the demolition
Of the Bastile began, amid the thunder
of cannon, the pealing of organs, and
roars Of joy and triumph. The popu-
lar notion Is that hundreds Of miserable
political captlves were released. The
fortress would not hold, and never held
but 70, and on that memorable occasion
only 3 unknown men and forgers
were delivered. The chief actors in
the stirring scene were the 654 whose
names are engraved on tho commem-
Grating column in the Place de Ia Bus
tile. The famous building was origin
ally the Castle of Paris, aud built at
the Porte st. Antoine, by order OF
Charles V. N37O S3), by Hugo Aubriot,
Provost Of Paris, as defence against
the English. Afterward converted into
State prison, during the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries, its vast bull
warks al ! bitches were added. On
each Of Its longer sides the Bastlle had
four towers, of live stories each, over
which ran Il galley armed with cannon.
Partly in those towers and partly In
subtc"rancan dungeons, tho political
prisoners were coniile The Bastile
was bad enough, but It's horrors have
been greatly exaggerated.

While much attention has been attrac-
ted by the success Of Mr.. j. B. Haunay,
OF Glasgow, in making genuine dia-
monds artiticially, very little has been
said about the danger which attends
his experiments, Tins my best be ap-
prcclated If we remember that the
pressure required in the process is so
greatas TO burst nine ont of ten Of the
"rought-iron coilcd tubes IN which the
crystals must be produced; and these
tubes, which arc constructed on the
gnn-barrel principle. have q bore OF
only half an inch, while the external
diameter Is four inches. The risk of
injury from their explosion Is by no
means inconsidcrable.

DISTRIBUTING MANURE.-It Is still
the pructice toa great extent TO draw
out manure and leave it in hears,
where it remains till plowing neces ST.
Cnte$ its spreading, or rather throwing
or the heaps apart, making an uneven
distribution, some OF the land gettilIr
too much and some none at all. Be-
sides, there are Jumps, more or less
dry; those OH tho surface arc OF little
use, and of little more when turned
under, unless the cultivator is used to
break and distribute them in the soil :,
which Is not often done. The whole
proceeding Is Il bad one. The manure
should have been spread carefully aud
evenly when drawn; not plOwed under
at all Tor genera cropping, unless very
shallow, or cultivated in. Where the
manure Is spread from heaps in the
spring, the harrow, weighted, should
Dc passed over, which not only fines
and distributes the manure more even
ly, but mixes 1t with the soft, making
mellow surface tit for seed. bed; or,
If turned down, improving the SOIL bo-
low. Farmers do not sufficiently real
ize tho benefit Of mellow soil turned
down. There are those who use culti-
vatOr or harrow OH their stubble ]aud
before they plow 1t, not plowlng deep :;
then reduce tho upturned soil to the
same condition. This is one of the
advantages in fallow. If manure is
used before and after plowing, with
shallow treatment, the poorest land
can be made TO yield well at once; bet
ter still, II the manure is permitted to
lie spread till the rain has washed out
the soluble parts.
