 There n-e signs of new commercial enter prise in Venice. A large cotton factory, ar- ranged after the best modern methods, that will employ 5000 persons and put in motion 100, 900 spinning machines, is rapidly build ing near the maritime station. Again, there is to be erected the island of Murana g new glass factory, the necessary funds hav- ing been already subscribed, half by English and half by Venetian capitalists. On another island, St. Helena, factory is to be built for the construction of railway carriages. Tho latter enterprise promises to be con- pleted at tho end of the year 1883.
 Apostle Joseph F. Smith lectured the faithful at Salt Lake City the other day, and in the course of his exhortation informed them that he had received the gift of tongues direct from heaven when he was in the Sand wich islands AS proof of this, he asserted that all of sudden he found himself able 10 read and write the Hawaiian language like an educated native. The Salt Lake Tribune wagers half a dollar against it's chances of ever becoming Mormon apostle that Jo- seph Smith couldn't learn any language per fbof ,o Cift from heaven; and it notes that he recently confessed himself too stupid before grand l jury to remember who certain persons were more than two days. It is suggested that perhaps Smith is preparing his people for a new revelation.
 | Professor Pontick, of Breslau, has lately made experiments on the common mush- room, from which itappears that all common mushrooms are poisonous, but that cooking deprives them ill greater or less degree of their poisonous qualities. The repeated washing with cold water which they usually undergo to clean them takes away portion of the poison and boiling does the rest but the water in which they have been boiled is highly poisonous, and should always be care fully disposed of. Experiments which Prof. Ponfck made on dogs showed that if dog ate per cent. of it's own weightsof raw
 mushrooms it fell sick, but recovered; if | it ate one and 8 half per cent. the poison had 8 more violent but not fatal effect, and if it ate two per cent. it was invariably fatal. The water in which mushrooms had been boiled was far more poisonous than the raw mush- rooms, while the mushrooms thus boiled could be taken without hurt to the amount of ten per cent. of the weight of the dog's body. Washing with cold water does not remove all the poison, so that mushrooms

thus prepared were poisonous when taken in large quantities.

George H. Ford member of the Ohio Legislature in 1872, has just revealed an in- teresting feature of the contest for United States Senator that year. Mir. Ford states | that eleven of the Republican members, him. self included, made mutual pledge that they would not vote for John sherman who was supported for Senator by all the other Re publican members. The eleven sought to unite with the Democratic members upon some other Republican candidate. General Garfield was asked to be such candidate, but he telegraphed the following declination from Washington: ''Gontlemen, I thank you for the offer so kindly made, but can never consent to be elected United States Senator by Democratic votes" The same offer was then made to President Hayes, but he said his relations to Shermas were such that he could not consent to be candidate. Ten of the eleven thereupon voted for Sherman, and he was elected.
 The illegal certifying of bank checks has grown to immense proportions, especially in New York city, where, on October 5, the date of the last report, the banks held $l3l ,36G, OUO or CerCluCu ClSCKS, WlCu u capltai OL DuI $51 600, ,OOO, and nine banks, with capital of $11, 700, ,OOO, held $1O5, 481, 7O5 in these checks. The acceptance of these checks has been misdemeanor since 1SG9 and the act of July 12, 1882, passed to still further prevent the practice, but it has been claimed that it does not in plain terms prohibit it by bank officers when made wiGh the authority of the bank directors In order to settle the mattet Attorney General Brewster's opinion was asked. He answers First, that a na- tional bank cannot legally accept cheeks drawn upon it when the drawer has not on deposit the amount stated in the check. To do so renders the bank liable to proceedings by the Comptroller, and the officer making the acceptance shall be fined not more than & 1000 or confined more than five years ; second, when the drawer has no money on deposit it is loan of credit rather than of money, and cannot be regarded as within the terms of the restrictions third, that the ac- ceptance of checks, when no funds are de- posted to amount exceeding the aggregate paid in capital of the bank, is clearly illegal. This decision of the Attorney General affects national banks, in the cities especially. The Comptroller will call the attention of the government attorneys to certain institutions which have been breaking the law and have them brought before the courts.

in the meantime some system OF cur

While it is true that the present system
OF National banking can only last as long
as the debt lasts, yet it is also true that it is
not necessary to pay Off the debt below a
certain point. The outstanding bonds now

TIE Wheeling 4 Lake Eric railroad is
now running between Huron, on Lake
Erie, md Massilon. 1t Is expected TO reach
Zoar, twenty miles this side Of Massilon,
by September. BY the lst Of July, it is ex.
peeled tia, the line between Norwalk and
Toledo, sixty. miles, will be completed.
This will make the whole distance OF com.
pletcd limo between Toledo and Zoar, by
September, lG5 miles, leaving only 30 miles,
between Zoar and Martins Ferry, to be
completed. At Zoar connection will be
made with the Valley road for Cleveland,
which will reduces the present distance be-
tween Martins Ferry and Cleveland from
no miles by the G. 4 7. to 100 by the Lake
Erie. The road will also be 81 miles shorter
between Bridgeport and Cleveland than by
the Tuscarawas line. How soon.it will be
completed clear through 10 Martins Ferry
is not known, but there arc good reasons
for believing that the next twelve months
will sec cars passing between the two ends
Of the line. As to MI extension eastward
from here, nothing has :ranspired OF n
public Character, save the fact, already IN.
nounced, that the surveyors are ut work
east OF here.
Originally tho Wheeling & Lake Erie was
projected only between Huron and Martins
Ferry, but years ago it was determined to
make the main limo between Norwalk
and Toledo. 1t Therefore forks at Norwalk.
However, the branch road between Nor
walk and Huron will be fully maintained,
rs Huron is IN excellent outlet, having
deep water and good facilities for receiving
ore and shipping coal. The W. & L. L.
will have three ports on the lake, viz:
Cleveland, Huron and Toledo.

Uair.Splitting by Experts.

Expert testimony splits finer hairs
in France than here. NJ Rivoire and
his wife, sailing on the 6non9, were
both drowned by the capsizing OF their
boat. The woman was wealthy and
had made a will leaving all to her hus-
band. His heirs applied accordingly
for possession of the property, The
wife's relatives have begun contest,
and in the court, where the case has
already come, the skillful and high.
priced expert swears that on examin-
ing the bodies of the drowned, he found
evidence that the man had struggled
violently when thrown into the stream,
and had been asphyxiated almost in
stantl-. The wife, on the other hand,
sank to the bottom and undoubtedly
outlived her husband some moments,
though in state of unconsoiousness.
If the man died first the will is void.

and at 2 years l2o pounds. The wool
is short, fine and curling, and closely
covers the body. A good average yield
Iof wool from flock would be six
pounds per head.
The Hampshire Down is cross be-
tween the SoutNdown and an old
horned, white-faceG breed of good local
reputation in HAMPSHIRE and Wilt
shire. The cross s larger and harder
than the Southdown, and the wool is
coarser and more abundant The face
is black, the head heavy, and the frame
long, as compared with the Southdown,
An improved Hampshire Down will
weigh one hundred pounds at fourteen
months old. The Southdown blood
seems to predominate in the Hamp-
shire, but there seems reason to believe
that infusion of Cotswold has taken
place rs well as q cross of Leicester.
The breed, however, is pretty well es-
tablished.
The Oxford Down is recent inyen-
ton, obtained by cross between the
Cotswolds and the Hampshire Down.
They are large sheep with open wool,
much coarser than the Southdown, but
still grading as a middle wool. The
face and legs are black or gray, the
latter color preferred. The mutton is
of excellent quality, having the
firmness and flavor of the Southdown
with the generous quality of the Cots
void.
The Shropshire Down was obtained
by crossing the Southdowns with an
ancient Shropshire breed of blackfacos,
called Longmynds. AS the latter was
q very small sheep, and the present
Shropshire Down is larger than the
Southdown, it is highly probable that
cross of Leicester, and perhaps Hamp-
shire, blood went into the breed before
the type was settled in its present form.
The Shropshire may now be described
rs AT intermediate breed between the
Southdowns and the Oxford downs.
Their faces and legs are black, the
wool close, fine, and more abnndant

CARING for the Sick.

Any one who has been so sick as to
require attention during the night, as
well as through the day, soon learns
what great difference there is among
night watchers. Under the care of one
person, the patient will pass an uncom-
Portable night, while III the care of an
other the night viii be restful and even
pleasant. In country places, especial
ly, we are liable to be called upon at
any time to "sit up with or watch"
with very sick neighbor. This is a
friendly office which we should always
be ready to perform. But few families
can wen bear the expense Of a hired
nurse, even where such is within reach,
and even where one is employed it is
usually necessary that the care at night
be given by volunteers. One should
always obey an invitation to watch
with cheerfulness, as he cannot know
how soon he may need the same SER
vice himself. There are a few general
rules which should be observed by all
who undertake the care of very sick
person. Always take dressing-gown
and slippers, or in warm weather a
thin coat instead Of the dressings
In very cold weather do not go near
