Desperate Cases.

Many Of the cases which come to
as for treatment by Compound
Oxygen are of q class which no
physician Of any school would
undertake to cure. They are, in
fact, such as have run the gauntlet
of experiment within the regular
schools of medicine. and of quack-
err without. until between disease
aud drugs the patient is reduced to
the saddest and most deplorable
condition. and one for which relief
seems impossible. No curative
Trestmsnt can be subjected to
severef tes. than offered by these
casss. And vet, in many of these,
the most brilliant results have fol-
lowed The use of compound Oxygen.
A record of some of these csses will
Be found in our Treatise on Com

we nave received pamphlet
from Mr. Paul Lacroix, of New Or
leans, on the subjeat of supplying
that city with pure and clear water
from the Bogue Falia river, in
which Mr.. Lacroix proposes the
formation of stock company for
that purpose. He says: The
Big Bogue Falia river, at a point
three and q half miles from the
town of Covington, is the source
from whence I propose to draw
this supply of water. at this point,
1t which the elevation is 125 feet
above tide level, on tract of land
which / own, is found a natural
basin, requiring very little work or
improvements to form q cafe and
permanent collecting basin for its
waters. From this basin the water
must be conducted to the city BY
means of a system of pipes. These
pipes, after reaching the eastern
shore of Lake Pontchartrain, may
be laid on The bottom of the lake.
il q direct line to the city, o total
distance of thirty miles, or they
may be laid from the basin to n
point on the eastern shore, eppo-
site the Point Aux Herbes. on the
Western shore, thus crossing the
Jake at a point where the width of
water to cross is not more than five
miles. and the depth very inconsid-
erable. The former route, [ am in.
formed by a competent engineer,
i the preferable one, because it is
the shortest and best. The cross
ofthe lake, SO far from offering any
difficulty, viii be the least expensive
and easiest executed of any part of
che line.
''The advantages of the situation
on the Bogue Falia river for the
purpose recommend it have long
been known and fully recognized,
and / have retained it, knowing
That ultimately the superior and
peculiar Advantages it possesses,
and the great necessity for a supply |
Of good water for this city which |
has so long existed. would cause it |
to Be availed of fer the purpose I
e,ntemplate.
"An I desire is to see this enter
prise in the hands of a company
formed Of our citizens, to whose
sole management I will leave it.
Tie only compensation I ask is
reasonable remuneration from the
company to be formed, for the site
on the Bogue Falia river made use
of." Further information on this
subiect can be obtained by address

Select the earliest and best ears of
corn for seed.
Seeding for wheat with the drill most
commonly effects saving of grain and
gain of one tenth on the crop.
BY keeping your poultry yard tidy,
it will go great way toward making
sales and increasing tne reputation of
the breeder,
Geese are easily kept. Grass and
water form their chief requirements.
These, with fair supply OF corn, oats
and boiled potatoes, make up their bill
of fare.

the growing crops" He then quotes
the results of experiments in which
wheat dressed with salt gave an aver
age of eight bushels more than the same
kind of soil produces without salt; ban.
ley gives an increase of twenty-one
bushels to the acre, and hay one ton iu-
crease to the acre.
SCOT, dried blood and woolen refuse
are all purely nitrogenous manures
SCOT owes its value to the presence of o
small and variable quantity Of ammo
mum salts, Dried blood is an excellent
manure, containing from ten to thirteen
per cent. of nitrogen. Shoddy and
other forms of wool and hair are variable
in composition, owing to admixture of
dirt, grease and other foreign matter.
The nitrogen they contain will range
from five to ten per cent.

Mortality In Different Pursuits.

The report OF the British registrar
general shows that the annual death
rate in the United Kingdom is about
one in forty-fve of the entire popula-
tion. The larger, but not the largest,
cities lead in tho rate of mortality, and
the rural mainland districts occupy an
intermediate place between them and
the insular districts, the extremes vary
ing by about fifty per cent. As be-
tween the three great classes into which
the population may be divided-the
laboring, the trading and professional
classes and the gentry and titled-the
chances of life are very nearly equal, al
though slight advantage appears to be
shown in favor of the first class. The
trades most unfavorable to long life are,
as rule, those which tend to expose
the operative to mn atmosphere loaded
with dust, or compel him to deal in one
way or another with poisons. Dry
grinding, as practiced on needles and
forks at Sheffield, is the worst; work
ing in coal mines is next in deadliness.
Gilders and silverers of glass are ex-
posed to vapors of mercury; workers in
brass are liable to diseases produced by
exposure to volatilized oxide of lead;
all who work in paints are subject to
great risks; soldiers and sailors have
their lives shortened by tho exposure
they have to undergo, or by disease
brought on by their habits of living.
Bakers, tailors and milliners are liable
to consumption; compositors peculiarly
30. Pressmen fare better than CON-
positors, probably because their work is
moro active. In the country, farming
appears to be the most healthy of oc-
cupations. while that of the innkeeper is
the most fatal. Butchers die compare
lively early, as also do brewers, dray-
men and generally those who have much
to do with establishments of eating and
