MINOR TOPICS.

THE Methodist preachers of Pittsburgh,
having had some bitter experience of mar
rying immature couples, ask for law re-
quiring licenses to be taken out of the
civil courts by persons contemplating mat
rimony, to the end that parsons may be
relieved of responsibility.
The Pittsburgh Leader publishes, as a
recent dispatch from Chicago, the confes-
sion of dying sailor at Battle Greek,
Mich, that he had seen Theodore Burr
AlstOn, captured by pirates, walk from
plank into the sea. ''Dying sailors have
been telling that yarn for years.

THE Altoona Tribune is good live paper,
and displays its enterprise by putting Oh a
new dress of type. In selection it is almost
the same as the INTELLIGENCER's, and the
poem ON ''The Old Type and the New" :"
written for our last new volume opening,
is republshed by the Tribune, as a COM
pliment to it's author, E. II. Munday,
who furnished the INTELLIGENCER' s outfit.
THE Cameron boom is spreading. The
Republican, printed at Jewell City, Kan
sas, puts up the name of Senator Don
Cameron for president and insists that
Pennsylvania shall urge his nomination.
This shows some Of the advantage of hav-
ing Pennsylvania brains scattered over the
country; the editor of the Kansas paper
is Mr.. w. W. Brown, recently of Centre
county, in this state.

at Albany organized with victory for the

Geo. A. Sharpe, as speaker. In Ohio the
governor reports the states financial con-
dition unchanged among the first bills

fishing the boundaries which existed be-
fore the state was re-districted by the late
Democratic legislature. In California the
anti-Republican fusion fell through and on
the first ballot the Republicans elected j..
F. Cowdery, of San Francisco, speaker.
The Republican senatorial caucus
resolved to send dispatch to Senator
Blaine and ex-senator Morrill,, congratu-
lating them on the decision of the supreme
court of Maine, and adiuring them to stand
firm and maintain the il rights.

Sewer Trans.

We find in the Nuc Era statement
from the New y Ork Plumber and ,Sdnitdry
Engineer made by its editor in answer to
the request of correspondent from this
place to be advised of his views on sewer
trapping. The editor says, what is
undisputed on any hand, that the house
connection with the street sewer should
be trapped, and he adds that g a cOpious
air vent should be applied close above
this lower trap as well as through the
house roofs" In most cases this ventila-
tiOn is neglected though all intelligent
builders will utilize the water-spouts
from their roof to ventilate their sewer
connection, while likewise running the
sewer pipe out through their roofs. But
the discussion we have had concerning
the propriety of trapping the sewer inlets
is entirely Independent of the cOnSidera-
tion of the proper method of making the
sewer connections of dwellings. On this
point the editor of the Plu3nJCr says that
i'm suburban towns, where houses are
not close to the sidewalks, the advantages
gained in sewer ventilation by emitting
such traps are probably greater than the
evils arising frem the sewer air near the
sidewalks, for the more frequently such
vent holes are made the more diluted is
the foul air arising from them, and there
fore the less likely to do HARM
That seems to lie Il sensible opinion,
though the editor does not explain why
the system adapted to suburban towns
would not be appropriate as well to all
cities. These sewer openings are as
frequent in cities us in towns
and there is the same Opportu-
nifty for the dilutiOn of the sewer gas
in its diffusion through the air. If his
idea, however, is that the greater density
of city's population makes its sewer
gases more abundant and more nOXious,
and that therefore better means of ven
tilating sewers are necessary than are
furnished by leaving the sewer inlets un-
trapped, he is undoubtedly right. All
cities to be properly protected need ven
tilating shafts in proper locations in the
high points of the sewers communicating
with the air above the hOuSe-tOpS.

OOWn green clover anu rye.
Casper Hitler said that while it is true
that good stock feeder is almost always
a good farmer, it is safe practice to some
times follow an opposite course. In theory
at least it is safe to say that there need not
be an animal fed on the farm except few
horses to do the hauling and plowing. 1t
has been shown that in some places and
some conditions that all the grain and hay
and straw and cornfodder may be sold and
carried away from the farm, and the farm
commercial fertilizers and this can be
done at less cost and with much less Ia
Dor than by feeding cattle to get manure
OF course all farmers cannot do this, for if
all attempted it the market for produce
would be Overstocked. He did not wish
to be misunderstood as opposing the use
of stable manure, but only to suggest that
it may sometimes cost more than it comes
to; while the intelligent farmer will
make all the stable manure he convent
emily can, he will also take care to use ap-
proved commercial fertilizers, and plow
down green manures.
Joseph H. Wilmer referred to rrof.
Johnson's declaration that six inches of
the surface of the soil contains the ingred-
tents of plant food in sufficient quantity to
grow annually for thousand years all the
crops grown upon the farm but many of
these ingredients are locked up and the
plants cannot get at them until they are
1oosened or dissolved by artificial means.
This is accomplished by the use of barn.
yard manures. Mr.. Wilmer agreed in the
main with MI. Hitler as to the use of COM
fertilizers in the hands of intelli-
