ton, which is a prominent point in
breeding, will rapidly improve the

The GOOD Timc'-And Its
Dangers.


The time for which farmers have
been waiting, has come at last. With
the largest crop Of wheat ever gath
cred in the country, there has been a
strong advance upon last Winter s
prices, due to The unprecedented fail
ure in Western Europe. BeeTes are
steadily rising in value, with little
prospect OF decline; fat hogs have
made heavy advance; butter cheese,
wool, cotton, all are in active demand
at decidedly higher rates, A cent
rer pound in the gross Of hogs means
grain Of $5O,OO0,00O on the 8 900,
100000 pounds which will represent
the organized pork. packing supply;
and there will be saved for farmers
and villagers home use about two
thirds as much more The increase
in the value Of beef is equivalent to at
least $25 100000 on the years return,
if prices should be sustained. An
improvements Of three cents per
pound in cheese, on years make,
would represent fully $lOOOO,oOo,
and six cents on butter, gain of
more than $5O,O00,000. A gain Of
$40 per bale would give to the South,
crn cotton growers an equal advance.
So we might 50 through the list OF
productions, and show thata average
advance Of not much more than ten
per cent. Would be equa! to 100000,

these producers are about half Of the

only of which they can spare for Others

A Hawk Attacks a Lady.

A day or two since there occurred in
Vineville one of the most singular
events we have ever been called on to
record. II was nothing more nor less
than bold attempt by hawk upon a
lady. The circumstances are as fol-
lows The lady was in a room adjoin-
ing the hall, when she heard heavy
thud and the noise Of falling glass OUT
side the door. Rushing into the hall
she found her little child there, and
perched upon some object near at hand,
o gigantic hawk
Upon the appearance of the lady, the
bird made q swoop for her, and while
she was using all endeavors to protect
the child by covering its head, fastened
its talons in the lady's hair. After a
considerable struggle, she succeeded in
beating the bird off, when it retreated
to a picture of General Lee, upon which
it perched. The lady retreated to her
room and called upon the servants to
close the hall door This was done,
and his hawkship would have been a
captive, but he seemed to take in the
situation, and darted into a bedroom,
lit on the cradle, sidled along to the
window and escaped. ... .-....
He was so large that when he en-
tered the door his wings struck the
doorway on each side. His first appear
ance was made when he swooped into
the back yard and lit upon the frame
work of wax plant. From thence he
made his way into the hall, and broke
the windows trying to get out.
Now, if Editor Woods has q snake
story that will read with interest after
the above has been perused, he will
please step to the front. The beauty
about it all is, that our anecdote is sus-
ceptible of the clearest proof. Macon

The Treatment OF Maud s.

MAUD s. is highly bred mare, and
wants to be humored. Her heart iswon
by kindness. She will not stand harsh
treatment; will not prove obedient under
rough usage. Both Blair and his wife
made much of Maud s. They petted
her, and treated her to apples and Jumps
of sugar. The result is, that she will
eagerly respond to their call. When
Jogging on the track at Chester Park,
the presence Of Mrs. Blair near the rail
at any time, would cause Maud to turn
in that direction. All last winter the
mare ran in roomy box. In April she
was put in front of break cart, and
Mr.. Blair drove her about the streets of
Clifton and Cincinnati, and thus got her
accustomed to the noise and hustle of
the toiling world. He also harnessed her
double, and taught her to drive on either
side. She always behaved well to the
pole. She does not like blinds to her
bride, but will trot with any kind of bit
in her mouth. All she asks is that the
driver shall not pull on the bit. She
stands 1872 1-2 forward, and is plump
sixteen hands behind. Her weight is
960 pounds. In her races this year she

sulky, but Blair is having made for her
a sulky weighing forty-five pounds. She
wears a fifteen and half ounce shoe
forward, and nine ounce shoe behind.
She also carries four ounce toe weights.
For two weeks after her arrival at the
Queen City, she will be turned at every
evening into a six.acre grass lot, and be
allowed to run until o'clock. This will
keep her hair from fading under the
SUMS rays, and it will cool her out thor
oughly. After two weeks run at grass
she will be led every day for two weeks
behind break cart, so padded that she
can not hurt herself. She will then be in
condition to order at short notice for a
fast mile, should Mr.. Vanderbilt desire
to see one on his return. Blair says he
had hoped to give her record of
2:09 3-4 before the close of the season.
At Rochester she trotted solely on her
courage. He thinks she can go to the
half-mile pole in l :O3.-7arf, Field and

New Russian Prophet.

A NEW prophet has been creating
some stir in St. Petersburg by his pre-.
dictions. He Is well-to-do manufac-
turer named Issajeff, and he gave out
that he had been sent from Heaven to
foretell the second coming of Christ,
preparatory to the last judgment. Up
to a short time ago this prophet man.
aged to couch his vaticinations In Ian
guage vague enough to have emanated
from the oracles Of old. His followers
soon perceived that his utterances were
slightly non-committal. and at last
forced him to be little more intelligi-
BILE. He accordingly fixed upon the
10Th of last month as the day on which
the end would come. Unlike most OF
the other prophets who have foretold
the date Of the destruction of the globe,
Issajeff, to show his belief in the accu-
racy of his knowledge of heavenly Sc
crets, sold his mandatory, and, in
fact, everything he had, and distributed
the proceeds among the poor. His dis
ciples followed his example, and on the
appointed day stripped themselves
nearly naked to await the sound OF Ca
briefs trumpet AS, for some unex-
planned reason, that fanfare did not
take place, Issajeff and his crazy fol
lowers are now begging their bread
from door to door, and receive but lit
tie sympathy from their impoverished
families. N Y. Sun.

A Surprised Sexton.

Last Saturday night an incident oc-
CURED in a certain church on Penn
Avenue, East End, that was decidedly
exciting and unpleasant for the sexton,
and perhaps will be for the congrega-
ton. Upon opening the church Satur-
day night for the purpose of putting
things in proper shape for the service
yesterday, he saw something that re-
sembled a cat fit across the floor in front
of him. Without thinking he closed
the door so that the intruder could not
escape. There's where he made a mis-
take, but he was determined that the
identity of the strange-looking creature
should be known to him if for nothing
but personal curiosity, and subsequent
events furnished another illustration of
how peoples curiosity sometimes leads
them into trouble Selling a broom
that was standing in n corner, it being
the only available weapon at the time,
he walked about cautiously until the
object was spied crouched under one of
the seats. He struck at it with the
formidable weapon, but he missed the
creature and it ran to another part of
the room. He followed with alacrity
and struck out with the broom viciously;
but the thing was too quick for him and
lodged about to another part of the
room. A third time did the sexton re-
new the assault, and it would have been
better for him if he hadn't done so, for
in minute or so the atmosphere in the
room became so unpleasant to his olfac-
tory organs that he was as active in
getting out into the fresh air as he was
in doing battle. Subsequent develop
ments reveal the fact that the strange
object was a skunk that had got into
the room nobody knows how. There
are animals that will show fight when
attacked, and this cat seems to belong
to that class. The sexton, no doubt, is
firmly of the belief thathe was fighting
against bigger odds than he anticipated
at the start. The broom did the mis-
chief. The incident was kept very quiet,
and an effort was made not TO have it
spread, but it leaked out and Dispatch
reporter got it Pi2sJurg Dispatch.

Castor Oil the Best Lubricant.

Mr.. S. II. SMITH asks if castor oil is
not too glutinous for the best service for
wagon grease and for use on machinery.
For watches it would be; but brief re-
Election on the character of friction un-
der common conditions will convince
Mr.. Smith that an oil which will remain
in the journal instead of leaking out is
the most desirable. In all kinds of
coarser machinery, such as steam en-
gines, mowing-machines, etc., the
greater part of the friction arises from
the imperfections of the workmanship,
the binding of the bearings from being
thrown out of line with the shaft, and
the accidental pressure of foreign sub
stances, so that resistance offered by the
mere sickness of the lubricating sub
stance becomes of no importance.
A great difficulty with all tyros in the
use of machinery is the wasting of oil
by its too profuse use. 1t often happens
that bearing will heat when supplied
with too much oil that will run cool
when served with the proper quantity.
The reason is that when the lubricator
is partly worn it becomes, as Mr.. Smith
says, sticky; it resists removal; it re-
mains tenaciously between the shaft and
its bearing; whereas too much
of it, usually thin and limpid,
serves to ''wash the bearing and let the
parts into closer contact. In the work
ing of moving machines this point may
be exemplifed. In grass land, where fly-
ing dusti is mt the minimum, the machine
should be kept oiled just sufficiently so
that the shafts will show an oily film as
hA oil hpl ha
slightest appearance of fresh oil at the
ends of the boxes any more is an in
jury. While in use for moving grain,
where dust is usually considered very
destructive, all parts should be kept oil
ed so freely as to keep the bearings al
ways well washed-tha is, oil continu-
ally working out-then the grit can not
work in.
Castor oil is not used largely in ma
chinery in this country because of its
cost, but az lubricant for all coarse
machinery it can hardly be exceled. 1t
Is especially adapted for light buggies,
and the writer has run a buggy over fif-
~ miles with one oiling, and on exam
ination found the axles in splendid con-
dition, probably good for twenty-five
miles more--steel axles close fitted. If
MIR. Smith will note the wrench the
bearing gets every time the wheel is
turned from its course he will probably
be convinced that he wants an oil of CO.
herence enough to Withstand considera-
ble pressure and stag there The writer
is an engineer of practical service, and
believes nc speaks from experience as
well as observation when he advises Mr..
Smith and all others who have nicely
fitted buggles to use nothing but castor
oil as a lubricant on them.--A,l En-
0iiieer, iil N. Y. Tribune.
