OGoNTz, the magnificent home of Jay
Cooke during the years of his greatest pros
perity, went TO decay while it was in the
hands Of trustees, and Mr.. Cooke is now
engaged in the work of restoration. He
says that he will continue to make improve
ments gradually until the whole place is re-
stored, and by that time he thinks he will
have decided as to it's disposition. His
friends urge him to restore the house and
grounds, bring his family together and en-
joy the afternoon Of life peacefully within it's
walls. The herculean task Of taking upon his
shoulders mountain of debt and striving
to redeem the fall Of 1878, was begun by
Mr.. Cooke with an energy and skill that
soon placed him above water and enabled
him to buy back his home.

AN eastern paper is not satisfied with the
wild notion Of pensioning all soldiers who
were confined in rebel prisons, though am
pie provision has been made for such as
were thus disabled, but goes the mover
9 one better, by suggesting that all soldiers,
disabled or not, be put on the rolls. This
would run up our pension list to an amount
considerably in excess Of the total annual
lev enues of the government, and make the
for which provision would have to be
made either by an increase of the national
debt, or onerous taxation. Such wild
rschemes should be frowned down at once
and forever.

The project of holding worlds fair in
New York or Bosto., in 1883 or 1885, has
been abandoned. Judge Hilton the origin
ator of the plan in New York, has refused
to take part in an attempt to revive it. The
people do not want worlds fair, and it is
likely to be years before they will be ready
= to furnish patronage again as they did for
sthe centennial. No one pretends that one
can be put in operation without aid from
the government, and it will puzzle anybody
ito tell whore Congress can find authority

TUESDAY. the 2d of September will here
after be known in New England as the
dark day of 1883, though the ozark day
par emimence was May 10, 1850, when. sew
eral days of close, hot weather, character
ized by thick, smoky atmosphere, be-
tween 10 and II o'clock, in the forenoon
the skies thickened and a fearful darkness
set in which lasted until the following mid
night. or from twelve to fifteen hours. This
darkness covered all New England, extend
ing west as far as Albany, southwark along
the coast, and to the east and north as far
as white settlements extended. Birds
stopped singing, and fowls went to roost,
the cocks crowed at midday as if it were
midnight, animals showed terror and the
superstitious howled. The "dark day" Of
1881 extended over the same country, and
was marked, in lesser degree, by the same
characteristics. AT sunrise, the atmos-
phere was dense with vapor, which limited
vision to very short distances, and made
those distances illusory; and as the sun
rose invisibly behind, the vapors became a
thick, brassy canopy through which a
strange yellow light prevailed air and pro-
, duced the most peculiar effects on the sur
face of the earth. This color and darkness
lasted until about o'clock in the afternoon,
once in while tightening, and then again
deepening, so that during large part Of
the time nothing could be done convenient
lv indoors without artificial light. The un-
usual complexion of the air wearied and
panied the eyes, and all vegetation assumed
ghastly hue. Cattle came home from
their pastures and poultry sought their
sroosts. The scientists have been consulted

The legal opinions of Judge Jere Black
are justly considered Of very great authori-
ty. He declines to talk generally upon the
subject of presidential inability, but he
does say that, There is nothing palmer
than the provision for devolying the execu-
tive duties on the vice president il, case of
the presidents inability 1t is equally
clear that when the president becomes able
to perform the duties, the. power Of the
vice president ceases" There can be no
doubt that this is the law as
it is plainly common sense view of the
matter.

The section of the Brazilian submarine
cable from Para to Cayenne is useless, ow-
ing to the destruction of its insulation by
fish bites. These bites take place only
within distance Of forty miles ski-ting
the coast of an island in the estuary of the
Amazone. Examinations show that the
cable is attacked by some powerful fish,
whose jaws crush the iron sheathing of the
cables and displace the Insulating sub
stances.
A French chemist has obtained q very
valuable oil from kernels of grape-the
refuse left after distiling brandy, or making
verdigris, being dried and ground fine in an
ordinary mill, and the yield Of oil is in di-
rect proportion to the fneness Of the grind
ing. The oil is sweeter than nut oil, and
remains fluid at lower temperature. When
burned in lamps tgives bright, smokeless,
colorless and agreeable flame.
The floor of heaven, says Sir John Lub-
book in recent address, is not only ttthick

our sun itself will be, some II, 900, 900 years

The new process Of extracting oil from
linseed is by disolying the oil with benzine
or naphtha. This removes the oil from the
seed and greatly reduces the value Of the
cake. The chief value Of the oil-cake
made by the old process was the IL or 12
per cent. Of oil left in it. This has laxa-
tive effect upon animals, smooths the skin,
brightens the coat, increases the fat or but
ter, and aids digestion. The absence Of
this fat leaves the large proportion Of nitro-
genous matter in the meal without any bal
ancing oil to render it digestible. The new
process meal is, therefore, much less desir-
able as cattle food.
