Rural New Yorker.
\ favorite method with too
many of the Overseers of road, is
TO repair them by scraping out
the soft, loose earth or mud from
the bitches alongside, and then
gathering all the weeds from the
gardens or other places, and loose
trash generally to fill up the holes.
These soon rot,' the loose earth is
ground out, and there is left a
mud hold bigger and more I'M
slightly than the original one.
Such holes should be invariably
filled with pure gravel, if to be
had; if not, with the drIest, hard
est soil to be found near by. a
subsoil is better for the this than
a surface soil, as it has less vege-
table matter in it to decay and
form mud. After roads are
smOOthed and all ruts and holes
filled up, they should have coat
of gravel, if to be obtained even
at considerable cost, unless they
are macadamized. Then they can
be kept hard, smooth and dry for
a long time, without additional
expense.

Salt the old Pastures.

Cor Country Gentleman.
4 few years since / had an old
pasture that had almost run out,
covered with weeds and patched
with moss. | mixed few barrels
of salt and wood ashes and APP
piled about two barrels Of the
mixture per acre, covering about
half the lot. The result surprised
me. Before Fall the moss had
nearly disappeared, and the weeds
were rapidly following suit, while
the grass came in thick, assuming
a dark green color, and make fine
pasturage. The balance of the
lot remained unproductive as be-
fore, but the following year was
sailed with like results.

Farming Under the Sea.

The fact is not'generally known
that within three hours ride of
Boston large and profitable bus
mess has been carried on since
1913 along the seashore,I and
which is nothing more orless than
farming under the sea-" Every
where upon the coasts Of Eastern
New England may be found, ten
feet below the water mark, the
lichen known as carrageen-the
Irish Moss" Of commerce. 1T
may be torn from the sunken
rocks anywhere, and yet the little
seaport of Scituate is almost the
only place in the country where
it is gathered and cured. This
village is the great centre of the
moss business in the country and
the entire Union draws its sup
plies from these beaches. Long
rakes are used in tilling this ma
Tine farm, and it does not take
long to fill the many dories that
await the lichen, torn from its
saltv, rock bed. The husbands
and fathers gather the moss from
the sea, and the wives and daugh-
tiers prepare it for the market.
Soak it in water and it will melt
away to jelly. Boil it in milk
and delicious white and creamy
blanc mango is the result. The an
nual product is from ten to fifteen
thousand barrels, and it brings
$4,000 into the town, which sum
is shared by one hundrd and fifty
families. Its consumption in the
manufacture of lager beer is very
large, the entire beer of the coun-
try draws its supplies from Scitu-
ate beaches, as importation from
Ireland has almost ceased. II is
not generally known that the
moss, san article of food, is call
ed 'sea moss farina."

Robert Collyer On the Newspaper.

The somewhat celebrated Rev. Robert
Collyer has been. discoursiug to the people
Of New York on the newspaper. He quotes
DR.. Chalmer as saying many years ago, that
the best writing and good deal Of the best
thinking OF this day was done for tho news
papers. Mr.. Collyer is chiefly impressed
with the enterprise Of the press:
Do the hidden forces break out in an earth
quake? A man springs up with his note book
aud pencil, while tho land rocks under his
feet, and begins to write and fash his words
over the first wire no con lay his hands on.
Is the fire burning up city? There is
among tho flames, scratching at his paper,
the coolest man you shall find.
Is the war fieIdp The newspapers will
give you news Of the battle fur ahead Of any
thing the government can get who are most
deeply involved, and vastly more. true as a
rule. Nothing escapes this ever present
and all-present eye. 1t mirrors the great
markets i'll ono page and tells you of an oys-
ter supper in the basement Of q church, and
reports impartially murder or sermon.
Does the old lion roar over there in Europe,
or the bear growl, or the eagle scream? ?
you hear them all through this wonderful
telephone Of the newspaper. 1t brings to
you the froth and foam Ct the ohalioe Of our
life, and reports the vast and awful move
ments which belong to all the centuries and
are felt all round the world. So ii Ia no
great wonder that the newspaper should be
about the most potent power We know Of
among visible things, or that fair minded
men should be glad for this power and
proud Of it wherever 1t is held sacred to
truth and virtue in wise and true sense.

Letters from Gen. Sherman.

Gen. Sherman writes to friend concern.
ing the proposition to create O new army
position for Grant. He says:
When Grant was nominated for president
In 1868 he volunteered me the opinion that
when his term was ont he would not desire
to regain command Of the army, as 1t would
be unjust to me. Ineyer heard him say O
word to indicate change In that opinion,
and do not believe he or his friends pre-
sented the idea to the president Of q cap
tain generalcy. or Of regaining his place in
the army retired list. There is no reason
why presidents may not be retired the same
as members Of tho supreme court. Gen.
Hancock, when a candidate for president
in June last, used this language in private
letter to me: '"ro surrender the position
Of major general is no light thing to do"
I could not even retire, in such O contin-
gency, with the benefits ordinarily
attached to such action, for tho commander
In chief Of the army and navy could not be
on the retired list Of any service. As to my
retiring, you know will not be sixty two
years old until 1882, and the rumor Of my

Suicide In q Cathedral.
From the London News.

From the London News.
1t is said that when Babylon was taken
the people of ono part Of the city were for
some days unaware Of the event. The
story is told about more than ono great city
for the purpose Of illustrating their vast
size. The bigness Of Norwich Cathedral
is also illustrated by the suicide Of Henry
Minis. This lay clerk disappeared some
ten days ago, and every place was searched
but the cathedral. The body Of Minis was at
last discovered hanging in an unfrequented
part Of the sacred edifce. Our old cathed-
ra's are much too large for our modern pur-
poses. While England was Roman
Catholic country the Cathedrals were kind
of home for all the people. They were
constantly thronged by q public which wit
messed pageants and mysteries" Of great
splendor, looked at religion full of dazzel-
ing spectacles and heard ''the blessed
murmur of the mass" or unbosomed itself
in tho confessional. Tho services Of tie
Church of England no longer fill tho
Cathedrals. Thus, parts of the minister
are given up to moths and spiders, and
are found lonely places fit for desperate
deeds. 1t Is rumored that the cathedral
will have to be reconsecratsd to wash out
the guilt Of suicide.

JAY GOpLD's GREENHOUSE.

Destroyed by Fire--Loss S2G0,000.-A list OF
Some Of the Rare EXOtics and Plants Which
Were Burned.
The costly conservatory of Jay Gould, at
his country seat, Irvington- on the Hudson,
together with the thousands Of dollars worth
of rare cxotics and plants which itcontained
was totally destroyed by fire last week. It
was the largest greenhouse in America, COW
ering about two acres Of ground, and was
notable alike for its style of architecture
and tho magniicence of its appointments
and surroundings. The papers contain an
elaborate catalogue Of the losses Of valua-
BILE plants and the following will give an
idea of tho cost of some of them:
Since July Mr.. Gould had received from Lin
den, the florist Of Client, Belgium, o collection
for which no paid $40, 900. 1t included palms
from the most remote points to which Lindon's
agents had penetrated in search Of botanical GU
riosities and rarities. OF palms aloDe there
wero In the conservatory 2S9 varieties, the
Indies, standing 10 feet high, with three leaves.
each Of which was \ feet In length and three
feet In width The tree ferns includod 45 va
rieties, imported from Venezuela, Madagascar,
New Guinea, and other tropical countries. The
trunks Of some of these ran up to height OF
IS feet before they threw out their bunah- like
heads of foliage A consignment Of palms and
tree ferns from Don Pedro, the Emperor Of
Brazil, was also among tho curiosities destroyed.
One OF these ferns was valued at So, 900, and
quito number Of them at $500 and 81 200
apiece. The bush ferus, which are dwarf
species of the tree ferns, wero also largely rep-
resented In tho collection, besides 1000 rare
plants, 5000 geraniuins, 10000 bedding
plants, and o host Of natives. Tho
roses comprised the choicest collection for win
ter blooming. There were tue Peolas or white
tea roses; tho Empress Of Germany, o copper
colored variety; tho Schwartz, of almost deep
black, and u specimen from Luxomburg my-
ing diameter of 10 inches. Tho assortment
Of crotons, marandas, dracpnas, philodendrons,
and anthurium andreaaa was large aud varied.
A single plant Of tho last variety cost 6OOf. Its
flower wRs q scarlet red, and tho varletyits In
exceedingly rare. In tho pink-houss were 30
varieties OF winter blooming carnations. These
arc only samples of tho extent and variety OF
Mr. Gould's collection, q complete cataloguoof
