New ZEALAND has for some time suf
fered from an over supply of rabbit
which have eaten up the growing crop
with comparative Immunity. But 4
short way with the depredators has a
last been happily discovered. BY aid o.
an ingenious machine carbonic oxide gac
is introduced into the burrows, after al
the holes have been carefully stopped
The rabbits are soon in the condition Of
the Arabs whom the French smoked in
their caves. In few seconds great
hubbub is heard inside, but this quickly
subsidies. The burrow is dug open after
short time, when the dead bodies Of
the rabbits are found huddled together
in a rner.
The Drorers' Journal truthfuliy says
that we need more sheep. In all parts
OF this great country to secure health
and comfort its people must have food
and clothing. The sheep furnishes the
best and most wholesome animal food,
and most comfortable clothing yet test
ed by the masses of our people. In
malarial districts, especially those where
extremes of heat and cold are frequent,
wooden clothing and freer and more
common diet of young mutton, would in
sure better health and better vigor than
generally characteriZes pork-eaters and
the wearers of cotton and linen. Letno
one indulge single fear of over-pro-
1,,o -
our fiocks be tripled or quadrupled, they
would add not only to the comfort and
healthfulness OF the people, but to their
intelligence and sobriety, as well as 10
the productiveness of every field used as
a sheep pasture.
ONE of the greatest boons to the rura!
population of England of late years has
been the establishment of cottage hos
pitfalls. The first institution of the kind
was at Savernake, in Willis. In 1867 a
poor farm laborer was badly injured by
machinery, and had to be carried miles
to a doctor, and then forwarded ten
miles further to a hospital. The case so
impressed the Vicar Of Savernake that
the idea occurred to him to try and es-
tablish cottage hospital. He found
warm and generous coadjutors in Lord
and Lady Ailesbury, the chief land
owners of the parish. lord Ailesbury
gave large sum, and several acres, in
a lovely situation, and in due time the
thing was done. During the past year
211 cases have been treated with every
comfort, convenience, and attention, at
a cost per bed OF 1878 aweek, and the
mortality among them was only deci-
NAL fraction more than three per cent,
against nine per cent. at Guys, ten per
cent. at st. Bartholomew, and sixteen
per cent. at St. Thomas's, the great Lon
don hospitals. In case of amputations
the advantage is enormously in favor of
the cottage hospitals, in consequence of
the purity of their air.
The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1880-01-08

THE latest product to which Cali
fornia soil has been found well adapted
is opium, of which superb quality,
much superior to the opium of COM
merce, has been raised in the Sonoma
Valley. The only obstacle to its Guilt
walton is the fact that labor costs more
than in the Orient, but that is Offset by
the better quality of the domestic arti-
Gle, and the absence of heavy duties.
There seems to be hardly any product
of the earth that can not be raised in
some part of the Golden State. Tea,
figs, oranges, lemons, bananas, olives,
dates, even the cinchona tree and poppy
plant grow there along with the fruits
and vegetables of temperate chimes.

Ten Thousand Mics for a Husband.


From WATERFOWL, " Y, to Australia
is long and weary way-ten thousand
miles or mOre-but a young woman has
had the courage to set out alone on the
journey, and she is a servant-girl. A
gentleman who was well-to-do fell in
love with her and offered to marry her,
but she would not believe that he meant
what he said. One day in August a year
ago he told her that his physician had
advised him to seek the sunshine of
Australia in order to regain his failing
health. He said he had great faith in
the balmy climate of the distant island,
and he told her that he had decided to
go, but he could not start without first
being bound 10 her by that bond which
" no man shall put asunder." He said
they would be married and then he would
journey with light heart to his new
home, which he would put in readiness
for her. To this proposition Fannie
finally yielded, but after the clergyman
had arrived she thought that possibly
this would not be the wisest course, and
just as the knot was about to be tied she
demurred. She then and there pledged
her love to him, but instead of marrying
him told him to go first to Australia,
and after the arrangements for her COM
fort and happiness had been completed
there, if he still loved her, to send for
her and she would go to him. After a
long voyage, he arrived safely. The
climate proved congenial to his health.
He saw that he would like the people,
and that home among them would be
pleasant. He had not forgotten the
promise that was made to him in Water
town, and when every thing came
around to suit him he sent for the girl.
She was faithful to her promise, and
they were married at Sydney, N. S. W.,
on Oct. 81. s~v r

THE October atlantic has no serial
story, but instead gives one long short
story called "A Florentine Experiment"
by Constance Fcnimore Woolson, one of
the best of American writers of stories:
and another, "Deodand," by w. II. Blsl
op, author of Detmold." DR.. William
James, brother of Henry James, Jr.,
writes very interesting and thou h,ful
article on "Great Men, Great Thoughts,
and the Environment" Socialistic and
other Assassina:ions," by James Henry
Haynie, brings together many curious
facts for those who study social phenom-
ena. The second part Of the eliminate
Life of a Noble German Family" is quite
as engaging as the first part, and gives US
most interesting insight into the lives
and ideas Of the higher classes of Ger
mans. The careful and valuable "Rem-
lniscences Of Washington" this time re-
late to President Tyler's administration.
Richard Grant White discourses of the
prevalent habit of drinking in England,
terming it "A National Vice" The 20.
lltlcal article discusses the " Business Is-
sues of the Presidential Canvass" "Peo-
pie OF New England Factory Village"
Is a paper of genuine interest. Mr..
Whittier has characteristic, beautiful
poem, "The Minister'S Daughter" Mr..
Aldrich contributes short poem, "Com-
edy," and there are also poems by Rob.
ert Louis Stevenson, Helen Barron Bost-
wick, I. Oppenheim, and Francis Ekln
Allison. Several important recent books
are reviewed in the careful and readable
style for which the atlantic is distin-
guished, and the Contributors Club con-
tains several bright little essays.

THERE is an advertisement in our col.

in referring to our readers, because we
believe In 1t and can conscientiously and
heartily recommend it. We refer to
Halls Hair Remover. We remember
many cases in our midst of old and mid
die aged people who formerly wore gray
hair, or whose locks were thin and tad
ed, but who now have presentable head
pieces, and with no little pride announce
to their friends that they haven't gray
hair in their heads. 1t is pardonable
pride, and the world would be better off,
if there was more of it, for when the aged
make themselves attractive to others they
are more certain to win and retain the es-
TEEN and respect to which burthen of
we'll spent years entities them. Try

loaded it TO kill wolf or some other an

Hollister arrived. The funeral will take
place from his late residence at one

The verdict of the coroner's jury is
doubtless correct, as several times OF late
Mr. Ricketson has shown signs of men,

debt, and the failure Of crops has so
worked on his mind, that insanity and
suicide have resulted. This is the only
reason that can be given, as his family
and neighborhood associations have been
of the plcasantest kind. He has been
known as kind and good husband and
father, In bis family, aud as ncighbor
none could be better. He leaves wife

boy Of fourteen, and two younger child
rem, both girls. A nephew has made 1t

sally regretted by the eutire community.
