INTERNAL MACHINES CENTURY AGO.-While
the two Houses were in recess for the Christmas
holidays, the country was greatly agitated by .
number of incendiaIy fires, which pointed TO the
existence of q conspiracy for the destruction of
design had been conceived, in 1894, by the
French Minister Choiseul, and had come to the
knowledge Of the English government, proper
precaution for the guarding Of the arsenals and
dock-yards were not taken, and on the 7th Of
December n fire broke out at Portsmouth, which
threatened the total destruction of the national
property there. 1t was at first supposed to be a
mischance. hut on the 18th Of the following Jan
nary, l777, clerk in the dock-yari, in moving
some hemp in the hemp-room, discovered an ex-
plosive machine and various combustible ma
ferials. Some of the authorities then recollect-
ed that q sullen, silent man, an artisan, had
been seen lettering about the yard, on the day
of the fire, and had been accidentally locked,
one night, into the rope-house.

NIGHT BEFORE THE MOVING

All shimmering in the morning shine.
And diamonslezi with dew,
And quiyering in the scented wind
That thrills the green heart through
The little field. the smiling field.
With all its flowers s-blowing-
How happy looks the golden field,
The day before the moving!
And still meath the departing light,
Twilight though void of stars,
Save where. low westering. Venus hides
FrUm the red eye of Mars;
How quiet lies the silent field.
With all its beauties glowing:
Just stirring like child Asleep
The night before the moving.
Sharp steel, inevitable hand,
Cut keen. but kind Our field
We know full well must be laid low,
Before its wealth it yield;
Labor and mirth and plenty blest,
Its blanieles. death bestowing;
And yet We weep, and yet we weep,
The night before the moving.

The PoTATo "BCG' Is GoSG.-The time will
come, we suppose, when We shall be rid of the po-
tato beetle. According to Mr.. Saunders, of the
Chronological Society, of Ontario, who travelled
extensively IN Colorado last season, he did not
find trace of the depredator, though he was
there at the season when they should hive been
most numerous. So we may hope that ere many
years the whole country may be rid of the pest.

WHEN STARS ARE m rHE quiet SKIES

When stars are In the quiet skies,
Then most pine for thee;
Bend on me then thy tender eyes
As stars Look ON the sea-
For thoughts, like waves that glide by night,
Are -tillest when they shine;
Mine earthly love lies hushed in light,
Beneath the Heaven Of thine.
There Is an hour when angels keep
Familiar watch DER men,
When coarser souls are wrapped in slcep-
Sweet spirit. meet me then.
There is an hour when holy dreams
Thruug N slnmber fairest glide,
And in that mystic hum IL seems
Thou shouldst be by my side.
The thoughts Of thee too sacred are
For daylights common beam;
/ can but know the. as my star,
Ny angel and my dream!
When stars ART in the quiet skies.
Then most l pine for thee;
Bend on me then thy tender eyes,
As stars look on the sea.

Believe in miracles. When the American far

any coal dealer can make LOO weigh q ton
when n common looking clerk can measure a
whole yard Mt one sweep of a thirty-three inch
stick; when n ten pound block of ice looks small
along side four-Ounce Maidstone; when any
bar-keeper turns water into whiskey before he
opens up in the morning; when you eau put ont

oil; when-do we believe in miracles, doubling
AlUnzoi 1t is age of miracles. The world is
full Of miracles overrun with rascals. You
may accept either Interpretation.

CORN Blown DowS.-Carefnl experiments
have proven, that corn which is hilled will blow
down more readily than that which has level
culture. this can he accounted for by the fact
that corn roots run very near the surface, and
when hills are made, they confined to the
small surface covered by the hill, while in level
culture the roots run from one row to the other,
TINS enabling the corn to stand strong. as nature
intended, and in no way liable to he blown

CHICKEN CARES, ETC.-With the little chicks,
the trouble is gapes and We have great many
remedies for their relief; but the gapes is dis
grace to the poultry yard, and its prevention
should be sought, instead of its cure. The dis
can be avoided altogether by feeding the
chicks on board, some other clean, hard sur
face; the food, if soft, should be freshly mixed
at every feeding, and all traces of the portion
not consumed cleared away. If confined with
the hen in latticed cOOps or small runs, chicks
should be removed 10 n new location daily. The
cape worm is the result OF filth and decayng
matter.
Young turkeys and in fact all young fowls,
should he kept away from wet grass, OF expo
sure to dampness, until well under feather. The
down on young fowls is not protection against
moisture. 1t is simply natures covering for re-
tanning warmth until the bird is feathered. They
shOuld all be fed regularly at stated periods,
and often, especially during the process of fea-
thering. With young turkeys the feathering
season is n very critical period, and heavy
drain is made upon the system thereby. The
omission of a single feed is sometimes fatal, for
at once the Young fowl becomes debilitated, its
progress receives check from which it seldom
RECEIVERS. Young turkeys are very tender, but
they take good care of themselves when of sufh-
cient age. The change of the covering from
down to feathers, is the turning point with all
young fowls Nermn, such as lice and para
sites, will ruin any flock, no matter how well
cared for otherwise; hence the strictest watch
should be kept for their appearance and eSter-
mluation

Execution OF Charley Hing for the
Murder OF All Lee.

Execution Of Charley Hing for the
Murder OF All Lee.
WrNNEMUcCA, Feb. 9.-Charley Hing
was executed here to-day for the murder
of All Lick IN the 9Th Of May last. He
was an intelligent Chinaman, 26 years Of
age, who had lived here for six years. His
victim was a member of the company to
which he belonged, and on that account he
was Stunned by his countrymen, none Of
whom would have anything to say to him
while he was in Jail. He was dressed in a
silken suit, furnished by his woman, now
in Salt Lake City. The scaffold was erected
in the jail-yard, and a large crowd assem-
bled at the Courthouse, eager to get a look
at the culprit on his way to the gallows,
and if possible to gain admittance to the
enclosure where the execution took place.
The doomed man was accompanied to the
scaffold by Rev. G. McKelvey, who en-
deavored to get him to comprehend
the Christian idea OF salvation. He spoke
a few words on the scaffold, admitting that
he killed All Lick in self-defense, and as
serting that $500 had been used to bride
witnesses to swear falsely. He said he
had been treated kindly by the officers.
At the close of his remarks he was led ON
to the trap by Sheriff Burns and Deputy
Fellows, and he stood unsupported while
his arms and legs were pinioned. At 11:40
the rope was put around his neck and the
black cap drawn over his face. The trap
was sprung, and, with q scream which
was cut short by the dislocation Of the
neck, he fell six feet. DR.. Hanson said
his pulse ceased to beat in six minutes,
and in twelve minutes after he dropped
the body vas cut down. placed in a rough
coffin and Immediately buried.
