grief and amazement Of the attempt take the life
Of the President Of the United States on the I'd Of
July. The mingled sorrow and Indignation which
have found expression throughout the land, ire

Republican institutions to the American people
and in what deep reverence and respect the Chief
Magistrate Of the nation is held The sad intelt-
gence OF his having been stricken down by the hand
tration, and when the kind and concilatory spirit
which seemed to dictate his policy was producing
Its first fruits in widespread confidence has stirred
and moved the hearts of people with the SINGER

AS the most appropriate manner in which this

That they share In the general sorrow which has
been manifested at the strange dispensatiai which
has thus SO suddenly and tragicaly stricken down
the Chief Magistrate Of the Nation and in the In
dignation with which the terrible calamity to the

Whilst deplortng the lawless purpose that would

institutions, we yet have an abiding faith in the
overruling wisdom Of providence, whose ways are
I not as mems ways, and whose dealings with. the
children OF men, remind us that his chAstiseIehts

An kinds Of theories continue to be adj
vaneed as to the cause Of the bad condition OF
the water used by the citizens OF Baltimore.
The latest Is, that the Park Commissioners
are using a large amount Of fertilizers IN
Druid Hill Park, and that mach OF these
sash into Druid Lake, and thus couiaminate

Fertilizers in fuid forn are accounted
the best, BY all intelligent agricul'urists.
What, then, is to be the effect Of this fluid
fertilization Of the Monumental City ?
Are we to look for results there, similar to
those from fertilizers used 10 the country
Although not much to the taste Of the
dainty citizen, if this fluid fertilizer should
produce in town, results corresponding to
those in the country, it would not bs al
together without its compensations. The
finest sqaasbes grow from fertilizers ap-
plied Ia iaid fora. Win it DOT develop,
10 our great metropolitan city, the finest
specimens Of the human squash to be
found anywhere within our borders? It
is not to be presumed that the city is with
ont this peculiar variety Of genus homo,
at all times, but will not this powerful
fluid stimulant from Druid Lake and Lake
Roland improve the variety? If so, may
It not be deemed sort of compensatory

IF that principle Of philosophy be true that
silike produces like" combated though it
be by such men as Darwin and Huxley,
may we not expect ike causes to produce
like results in town or country? La other

TINS PowER OF 4 SNowDgIFT.- 1Ppiet0a' s
RdiIray Post says The Northwestern Rail
way Company has spent over three hundred
thousand dollars in the fight against snow
since October last. Thirty four immense
snow ploughs have had plenty Of work, and
these have been backed up tremendously by
from two to six locomotives each. The might
of these pIoughs and the great power of a
snowdrift may be estimated from the facts
that one plough weighing 5000 pounds, bal.
lasted by $4,000 pounds of railway iron and
driven by six locomotives, attacked snow
checked cutting, but was defeated. The drift
was 81 feet high. When the SorkHep, sfter
the tremendous charge, caught glimpse OF
the immense plough, they found that it, with
all its Us, 600 pounds had been opel!ed as
if ii were feather, aud that it had rolled dis
consolately over the drift and had lodged
against some forest trees, where it proposes
10 remain until summer. From one cut 324,
600 cubic yards Of snow were taken, but in
eight hours the wind had piled it up full
again. Nine thousand men have been en-
ployed from time TO iime daring the winter as
