An ungracious seer among British
scientists thrusts before us the pros
poets of u continuance of our physic-
al miseries after this severe winter of
our discomfort is over and gone.
According to his theory, based upon
\ study Of weather records for sever
al centuries back, seasons of extreme
cold are followed by seasons of ex-
cessive drought and cold. He finds
that the years are divided into what
may he called weather-cycles cores
ponding with the sun-spot cycles in
length, and that we are now in that
portion of the present round which
is marked by succession of ex-
rremes. There is one comfort 70 be
got from these numerous predictions,
which is, that the data for their
foundation are not sufficiently COM
plete to render them by any means
infallible. We may still go on hop
ing that.the approaching spring and
summer will bring their usual CRATE
full bounties of moist and moderate

BURNING OF THE STATE CAPITOL.

a dispatch received here yester-
day surprised our citizens with the
news that the State capitol build
ing was burned, and that nothing
ssas eft but the walls. The fire &C.
curred sometime during the day or
evening Of Tuesday, March LIST. while
the Legislature was in session, the
dispatch stating that the members
had to jump from the windows to
save their lives.
The capitol building was an old
affair, originally built in the terrific
rial days, but in later years remod-
eled and wing added to it. The
loss of the building may possibly be
exceeded in the destruction of valua-
bic records and the unfinished work
of the present Legislature. The fire
will undoubtedly necessi,ate the call
ing Of an extra session.

Senator Matt. H. Carpenter, of
Wisconsin, died in Washington, on
Thursday morning last. His health
had been failing for the past two
years, although the Immediate cause
of his death was Bright's disease of
the kidneys. The Minneapolis Trib-
unc says:
The death Of Senator Carpenter
removes from the theater of pub
lie affairs one Of the most brilliant
men of this generation. His career
as \ public man was not steady
and strong one. 1t was always
able and often erratic. MIR. Carpen-
ter's failure to greatly impress him
self upon the events of his time, not
with>tanding his undoub.ed genius,
was due to i lack, of that moral basis
without which persistent power and
|endUring character of any worthy
|sort is impossible. Dead at fifty-six,
Mr.. Carpenter ought now to have
been in his mature prime, and better
qualified than ever to serve the coun-
try in public station. But II life of
intense though irregular application,
coupled with the habits of one who
never attempted to bride his appe.
tites in any known direction, burned
the candle at both ends, Slapped that
which was best and most promising
and valuable in the man, and left
him in the midst of his days an easy
prey to the first form of disease that
happened to secure Judgement in his
system. Wisconsin is not likely to
|ill Mr.. Carpenters seat with an ADLER
man though it may with \ more use
full one.

the Senatorship in the Pennsylvania
legislature has finally ended by the
election Of John !. Mitchell. Mr..
Mitchell is said to be man of accu-
rate scholarship, extensive reading,
and fine legal talent. He has been
in Congress four years, and his nom
ination for Senator was due to his
personally friendly relations with
Beaver, Bayne and Cameron. He is
in his 42d year, is six feet in height,

GROWING Up WITH THE COUNTRY.

When young tree is transplanted
from its native woods, care is always
taken to secure good roots, while the
branches and top are mercilessly
Topped off and the tree has to sail
under bare poles for year or two,
or at least with but a few insignifi-
cant buds and twigs to signal the
fact that it has securely anchored its
roots below.
When men transplant themselves
from populous communities to the
sparsely-settlcd prairies of the new
West, they are too often pretty well
denuded as to flowers and fruit, but
We have noticed that where their
chief anxiety was to take root
in their chosen soil = where all
efforts were directed to making a
homestead by self-denying economy
and resolute hard work, without any
attempt at speculation Or reckless
discountiny Of the futurc-with such
beginnings we have seen in other
States and in this county, that the
desire to grow up with the country
is not usually barren Of the best re-
suits.
On the other hand, everyone rec
osnizes the tendency of the hopeful
and needy settler to regard his choice
of home as sort of experiment,
and to blossom out into mortgages,
liens and store accounts before he
has taken root at all.
Itcannot be too strongly impressed
upon those who have suffered disap-
pointment by reason of this memoir
able winter, that in the long run the
Man who Sticks is the one who wins.
This statement may be trite, but it is
too often ignored by the farmer
or business man who does not find
his most sanguine hopes realized.
Speculation, debts, whisky. This
unholy trinity has done more to re-
tard the prosperity of the West than
unfavorable seasons have ever done,
We believe that if our people figh,
shy of these snares, and confine theil
work to what is actually IN sigh,
and live within their means, the,
will grow up with the country and
raise the country with them.

A remarkable accident happened to q
train near GAINESVILLE. o. The train
was running at a rapid rate of speed.
when, suddenly, there was heard q
sharp crack, and in a moment the driv-
ing rods, which had been broken on
both sides of the engine, went whizzing
around, making a whistling noise as
they whirled through the air. They
beat the locomotive until it fairly
groaned with pain, battering it up and
defacing it fearfully. Striking the
breast-plate the rods glanced of, and
returning to the attack like an enraged
animal, they assaulted the cab from be-
meath, and with n desperate blow
cut it fairly in two. John Moore, tho
engineer, who was inside the cab, was
flung into the air as If by a whirlwind.
lighting on top Of the severed cab in an
almost insensible condition. He was
badly jammed up, but not seriously
hurt, the breast-plate alone having
saved him from being cut in twain
Mr.. McKclvy, the fireman. retaining his
presence Of mind, picked Moore up.
and removed him out of harms way,
and then put on the air breaks, but
they were useless, having also been cut
in two by the flying rods. He thon
raised tho throttle Of the thoroughly
wounded engine, and managed to got
from it Il painful whistle of ''down

nltramarine, or cobalt blue, has been
used for tinting, a blue ash will remain
behind after incineration. These ashes

will only become brighter by the samo

The Cookie.

From the American Miller.
The cookie is the aristocrat among
the seeds that the miller has to contend
with. 1t seems to grow in any part Of
the country where 1t takes a fancy to
the scenery and climate; to stay as long
as 1t wants to. and go when it gets
ready. If it is proper to speak Of the
wheat belt" for it shifts and changes
about from one locality to another as il
endowed with intelligence. The cookie
likewise has a peculiar shape, different
from other seeds of the field, and when
viewed through q microscope, looks
like a vegetable porcupine, clad with
spurs and spikes. These spikes enable
the cookie to be taken out by means of
cork rollers, as tho cookie will stick to
them while the wheat will pass through.
Whether this mode Of removing cookie
has proved successful in practice we
are unable to say; it is certainly unique
enough to deserve success. And here
in the cookie shows its a%ristocratic in
~stincts, in that many machines have
been devised for removing it from the
wheat while an ordinary separating ma
chine is deemed adequate to remove
= score of other different seeds that
ROW in the same field with it.
The cookie has a very long appella-
ton for so small an object, the correct
name being XdnHtum Syumarium. II
is a commoner, however, in one respect.
as it will grow in nearly all parts Of tho
country, if it feels inclined to. Tho
stalks grow to the height of from one
to four feet, and have many branches.
At the ground they are sometimes an
inch thick. The pods contain but two
seeds, n are sure to propagate their
kind. The plants are very tenacious
of life and propagate both by seed and
root. They likewise increase and null
tiply very rapidly, and in some instances
amount almost to a plague. Some
years ago the cookie became such q
nuisance in Pennsylvania that the State
Legislature offered a reward for a ma
chine that would remove the seed from
wheat. A flannel roller was the result
Of this offer, if we remember rightly.
At the last session of the Illinois Iegis-
iature a granger from Ford county, we
believe, introduced a bill in the interest
Of farmers for the extirpation of cocklo
which will be known in history as tho
''kuckle-bur' bill. Its phraseology en-
titles it to be considered a curiosity Of
literature, while the penalties were Ora
ronian in their severity. The bill did
not pass, which perhaps is to be no.
Tetted, as the cookie is n very serious
iuisance 10 both farmer and miller.
However. the cookie is thoroughly do
rraved. an perhaps Legislation against
!. might, uiy rouse its ire and expand
It's powers OF propagation to their

A California paper says: A teamster
brought in some wood last summer
which Mr.. Slater had to split up to get
in the stove. After splitting a piece of
discovered that the X had exposed a
peculiar protuberance. An investi-
CATION showed that it was a perfectly
formed egg imbedded in the wood.
The wood kept the air from the egg,
consequently it did not get stale. How
could itp Mr.. Slater got the egg out
and put it under a hen. 1t Matched out
a curions bird, which proved to be n
game-cock of a breed heretofore con-
sidered extinct. 1t can whip a dog
easily.
