Unlncky People.

A genuinely unlucky man will entail
as much misery upon those who are
dependent upon or associated with him
As a genuinely wicked one. They can
never be relied upon. Their inventions
are just little anticipated by those
they never heard Of Their books or
plays do not become popular. Their
crops are sure to be injured by the
floods or tornadoes, their vessels to be
shipwre cked or burned, and their houses
are certain TO be consumed within
twenty-four hours after the insurance
policy had expired, or the day before
they had resolved to take one out
Judges are sure to rule adversely to
their interests, and juries always bring
in verdicts against them. Their letters
are certain to 60 astr,ly, and their bag
gage or express packages are sure to
be lost or stolen. 1t is they who are
always looking for their missing
knives, and who are constantly won
dering where their hats or their UNI.
brellas have gone to. The money
they put into their pocketbooks, or the
pocketbooks they put into their peck
Gus, mysterlOusly disappear. Even
when they desire to be prudent, and,
with considerable sacrifice and pains
buy their potatoes, TIL cir coal and othes
stores, in advance, at reduced rates,
the prices of the succeeding winter in
variably fall below what they have
paid. They are to be dreaded as
Jonah was dreaded. The boughs of
the trees they climb always break, and
the boats they row or sail always cap
size. The train they take is by no
means to be expected at the terminus
on time-and even if late should cause
gratitude that it got there at all. Or,
if they are not the victims, they are
the authors, of all sorts Of involuntary
mischief. Altogether, shrewd old
Rothchild was wise when he counseled
his sons to "avoid unlucky men,"

How Much Pork to BnsheI of Corn,

Among the questions discussed at
the late meeting of the Iowa stock
breeders association was the oft moot
ed Que of the number of pounds Of
pork that may be produced from
given quantity Of corn. Mr.. Briggs, Of
Jasper, said it was claimed that one
bushel of corn would produce ten
pounds of pork, but he claimed
that under most circumstances it would
not produce five pounds to the bushel,
while in other cases fifteen to eighteen
pounds might be produced. Mr..
Nichols of Muscatine, also gave his ex-
perience on this question. He had
produced as high as twelve pounds
of pork from bushel of corn. Mr.
Brown, of Marshall, stated he had OBJ
tanned nine pounds of pork to the
bushel, and as high as ten when the
hogs were on grass. Mr.. Lathrop, Of
Johnson, was Of the opinion that in tn
condensing process more pork could be
obtained from bushel of corn in young
hogs than in older ones, and the same
would also be the case in cattle. Mr.,
Hiatt, of Jasper county, was of the
opinion that not more than five pounds
of pork could be produced from
bushel of corn, and believed in selling
corn in preference to feeding it when
he could get thirty cents per busheI.

BARRIERS in Europe.
W. A. Croffut's Napels Letter.


| have now been shaved in seven
kingdoms and in six languages. They
all perform the ceremony differently.
But they all, from Scotland to Naples,
insist on seating you in a plain, strait
chair, and bending your head over back
till your spine howls in agony. And
thew agree in another custom-they
never wash off the soap they put on.
But they bring you bowl of water,
hold it under your chin as you are
leaning back, and insist on your wash
ing your own face then and there. II
you object to the attitude they shrug
all the upper part of themselves and
sling disdainful smile at you; if you
comply, little rivulets run pleasantly
down inside of your shirt, and some OF
the soap they have generously swoggled
into your ears gets into your stockings
| have seen no barber wash his victims
face since / landed at Glasgow. Prices
vary. In London they charge a shilling
(25 cents for shave; in Naples they
will, for so centimes 10 cents), shave
you, cut your hair, wash your face and
hands, curl your eyebrows and wax
your moustache till you look like Victor
Emmanuel, and can pass for a prince
on any of the side streets. Yesterday
was shaved for 10 centim es-about
two American cents-but | took the
balance out in garlic, of which | had
a generous bath in the form of respira-
ton In Verona, the city of the loved
and loving Juliet, the barber asked me
if would have my feet washed and
my toe-nails cut That certainly, Is
going to extremes

The Value of REPRESENTATION,
Sanitarian.


The report recently furnished, at the
instance of the local government board
of London, relates to an average
number of 1O,504 persons permanently
employed in the postal service, all of
whom have been required to undergo
revaccination on admission to the SER
vice, unless that operation had been
performed within seven years prevl-
ously. Among these persons during
the ten years 1870-1S79 there has not
been single case of smallpox, and in
only ten instances have there been
non-fatal attacks, all OF which were of
a very slight character In the tele-
graph department, where the enforce
ment of revaccination has not been
carried out with quite the same COM
pleteness, twelve cases have occurred
in the same period among staff ave-
raging 1,45S in number. Eight of
these attacks were of persons who had
not been revaccinated, and proved
fatal. The rmaining four were of re-
vaccinated persons, who all perfectly
recovered without pitting This expe-
rience, like that of the nurses at the
smallpox hospitals, seems to show
that revaccinated persons enjoy abso-
lutte immunity from severe attacks of
smallpox, and that their risk of catch
ing that disease at all, even in its most
modified form, is intinitesimal

Congress adjourned in March, and

Congress adjourned in March, and
Gen. Garfield served until then as
member of the house-Senator Thur
mans time not being out until the end
of that session. But Gen. Garfield was
not destined to occupy seat in the
senate. Before the meeting of congress
again, the republican national conven-
ton met at Chicag, and on June 9Th,
1880, after a long contest between other
candidates, Gen. Garfield was nominal
ed for the office of president. He re-
ceived on the Both ballot 800 votes, to
900 for Grant, AZ for Blaine, 3 for Sher-
man and five for Washburn. The dem
ocrats nominated Gen. Winfield Scott
Hancock, and the canvass was one of
the most hotly contested in the history
of the country. The popular vote
stood, according to the best informa-
ton, Garfield, 4,441, 1S4; Hancock,
4, 425, 121; Weaver (Greenba cker), 302,-
S54; scattering, 1906 Garfield re-
ceived 217 electoral votes and Hancock
152. Gen. Garfield was declared elect
ed, and on the 4th of March, 1881, he
was sworn into office as president of
the United States, he having some
time previously resigned his position
both as member of congress and United
States senator elect. On the End of
July, while az the Baltimore & Potomac
depot in Washington, waiting to take
train to Long Branch to see his sick
wife he received the fatal ball from
the pistol of the assassin.

Heroic Remedy for Indigestion.
Leaveswcrth tkan.l Times

Mr. A. Wehrner, the champion hunt
er of Leayenworth county, has discoy-
cred sure cure for Indigestion, or at
least thinks he has. He went out onS
hunt few days ago, and becoming
hungry seized upon a nest of eggs &c
happened to find, and ate eighteen
eggs. 1t wasn't much of meal, but
some way or other it made him sick,
and bad pains began to become dis
agreeable in the stomach, but he didn't
know what to do, being far away from
a drug store or a physician. While he
was groaning away at hard rate, he
happened to see wild goose that had
recently been killed, and out OF curl
osity picked it up and found its craw
was as full of corn as it could be, and
that mixed with the corn was number
of fine pebbles. He was at once IN
pressed with the idea that pebbles are
good to assist indigestion, and going to
a small creek, scooped W couple o.
handouts of muddy, graveled water
which he swallowed. lie says that II
was only few minutes until he was
relieved Of his pain. and felt as well as
he had not strained a point to swallow

HENRY G. NENNoR, the alleged wealth
er prophet from Canada, was on a brief
visit to Washington the other day, and
gave his opinion of the coming wealth
er as follows
The indications recently observed and
gathered from the Geographic dispatch
es of the day appear TO me to point to
very wet weather all over the North
American continent, and, perhaps, par
ticularly in the northwest and terri
tories on and after the 18th Of the
present month, while in England and
Scotland cold and stormy weather, pos
sibly with, snow fall in northern sec
tons, is likely to occur in the neigh
borhood of the Dist and 22d days. Wet
weather on this side is likely to con-
tinue through the latter half of the
present month and into October. Dur
ing this latter month the outcry is like
" to be, Too much rain" and sleet
and snow viii fall early in the northern
sections with sharp frosts in November.
November frosts will disappear for 3
time, and some very fine and balmy
weather is likely to form feature in
these months.
