A Rich PuR.

A manufacturer and vender OF euack
medicines wrote to friend for a stl ong
accommodation of his (the manufactu-
rer's "Balsam. In few days he re-
ceived the following, which we call
pretty strong:
"DEAR SIR: The land composing
this farm has hitherto been so poor that
a Scotchmau could not get q living off
it, and so stony that we had to slice our
potatoes and plant them edgewaYs; but,
hearing of your balsam, put some on
the corner of a ten-acre field surrounded
by a rail fence, and In the morning I
found that the rock had entirely disap-
peared, a neat stone wall encircled the
field, and the rails were split into fire
wood and piled up svmmetrically in nv
back yard. 1 put half an ounce in tho
middle of hucklebery swamp In two
DAYS it was cleared off, planted with
corn and pumpkins, and row of peach
trees in full blossom through the mid
die. As an evidence of its tremendous
strength, I would say that it drew a
striking likeness of my eldest son out of
4 milI-pond; drew blister all over his
stomach drew load of potatoes four
miles to market, and eventually drew a
prize OF $97 in a lottery"

The Unifariana

UnitaFisnism- in this country has
passed through much the same phases
as in Great Britain. After I740 Arian
views of theperson of Christ were pretty
widely diffused through New England,
and in 1887 took place the first secession
from the Episcopal church, on the
ground that those parts of the Ntargy
which imply a belief In the Trinity
could not be any longer employed.
Many of them, by porceptible degrees,
glided into Unitarianisrn, but it was not
until 1875, at which tirne DIR. Charming
threw his Influence into the scale, that
the name began to be much used. The
sect had its birth and still has It's head
quarters in Boston. 1t has made no con-
siderable progreos in the United States,
for we find that so late as 1870, accord
ing to the Federal census report, out OF
72, 459 church organizations of all kinds,
the Unitarians only possessed 331, and
were the owners Of 80 church edihces.

KEROSENE STAINS UPON A FnooR.-
A correspondent writes from Pilot
Mound, Mimi, that the breaking of a
kerosene lamp has caused "fightfCl
spot" upon the floor, and wishes to
know how it can be removed. Good
kerosene has boiling point of $50 de-
grees, considerably above the melting
of lard-hence in order to drive it COM
pIetely from any fabric, from paper, or
from wood, it must be heated high
enough to form vapor, when, if pure,
it may be completely removed. Heat
may be applied to the floor by using
fat-irons sufficiently hot, first placing a
piece of paper over the spot. It may be
that, after the oil is driven from the sur
face by heat, the stain will reappear;
some Of the oil remaining In the wood
viii be brought to the surface by capil-
larry attraction. In such case it viii
be necessary TO repeat the operation as
often as the stain appears.

Obensks.

The Romans had passion for ODE
lisks, removing the one now in New
York, and the one i'll London, from He
hopolls and erecting them before the
Cesareum of Alexandria. Here Is al
account of an obelisk greater than ours
The great ohelisk which now adorns
the piazza of st. John Lateran, at Rome,
was originally set up before the Temple
OF Amen at Heliopolis. it is of red
granite, and as it now stands it is los
7 teet inches high, and its faces are re-
spoctively 8 feet 81 inches and feet
wide st the base one of the bases is
! slightly convex, and it has been calcu-
lated to weigh 455 tons. The Persians,
the Greeks and the Romans allowed it
10 remain in the place it was originally
designed for, but on the establishment
Of Christianity Constantine the Great,
intending it for tho adornment of his
new capital in the East, removed it to
Alexandria about 800 A. D. This inten-
ton he was unable to carry out, but it
was brought from Egypt by his success
or, Constantine, who re-erected it in the
Circus MaKimus. A ship was built to
convey the Obehsk to Rome !; 800 rowers
tdgged the huge trireme and its ponder
Gus burden across the waters of the Med
lterranean to the shores of Ostia Ar
rived there the obelisk was slid off from
lie deck of the galley on a low cart sup
ported by rollers instead Of wheels, and
It was then dragged and pushed through
the gates of Ostla into the Circus Maxi
mus. All that now remained to be

s'arcellinus, ''was to set it upright,

Pretty German Custom.

There is a beautiful custom among the
Germansof having chorals PLAY ed from
the church towers at regular hours of the

from the Arabs, who at certain hours CT

Toe long wailing cry of mus zzans from

Near me was the Stifts Kirche, an old

HENRY WARD BEECHER.
He Thinks the President is All
Right and Con4ilng All
Wrong.
Chicago Tribune, 23d.

A Tribune reporter met the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher at the Grand
Pacific last evening, and asked him
what he thought of the Garfield
Conkling controversy.
Il think the President is right"
said he, land Conkling wrong, and
that he has suffered himself to be
SO far misled by representations that
he wholly miscalculated the temper
and tone of the people of New
York; that, if the matter could be
brought to popular vote to-day,
there would be an overwhelming
majority against him. But I think,
beyond that, this whole grinding
collision and uproar and row--this
perversion of the duties of the Sem
ate for two or three months-was
one of the most revolutionary for
the American people, considered in
regard to civil service reform, For
although the President had a duty
to perform, and the Senate had a
corresponding dnty, in both in
stances it was an action founded on
the disposition of spoils."
