A Small Dose Of Natural History-the
House Flv,

The house flv is born of poor hon.
est parents. He comes into the world
unlimited, is as happy and socia5le
while he stops as the advance agent OF
a circus, and dies with none to shed a
tear at his loss. He gees into the SUBJ
sequently unmourned and un~e"t.-
He is queer, amusing little creature
He is more particularly amusing to a
baldheaded man. He will interest YOU
at any time if you will study his hab-
its, and when he prominades with
Jaunty air across your bump of veneer
alton and over your brow, and stops
on the bridge Of your nose to scratch
the back of his neck with both front
feet be will doably interest you. Did
you ever see one of them sit before YOU
upon your table, kick the wrinkles out
of his polonaise and sem to regard
you with a look of interest and friend.
y solicitude? That is a way he has
of showing his social-disposition. Did
you ever have him to crawl into your
hnckleberry pie and look like he b.
longed there and was simply making Il
martyr o. himself to please you oy
adding something nutritious and pal
atable to huekleberry pie : Well, that
is another way he has Of showing his
social and self-sacrifcing disposition.
The more you study the little house
fly the more you will come to regard
him with interest and wish that he
was little less social and self-sacrific-
ing. He seems to have constant de-
sire to assist man in his labors and
will even try to help him punctuate
letter, frequently, in his innocence
and simplicity, putting full stop
where there ought only to be COM
ma. There are many peculiarties
about the house fly, one of which is
his persistency in staying when you
insist upon his going, another is his
willingness to starve to death in a
printing Office when he could get fat
by emigrating to a grocery store

Samuel G.. Winant, Of r 'ssville one
of the largest strawberry growers on
Statan Island, has, during the past
season, Notwithstanding that many of
the early blossoms were killed by the
frost picked about 10000 baskets of
berries from his patch of two and a
quarter acres, from which he realized
$1,100.
The first frosts are already reported
in the Northwest. This is slightly
earlier than usual, and what is more
important the corn crop is less advanc-
ed. In the section west of the great
lakes the extremes of temperature are
more sudden and damaging than else.

The Manure Harvest.

In the midst of the harvest of grain
and grass, and tubers, we must not
forget the compost heap, in which we
garner and store the unsowed crops
of future season. The saying that
''anything that grows in one summer
will rot before the next is a safe
guide in collecting vegetable matter
for the composed heap. When sods,
muck, and weeds form a part of the
heap, it is not alone the material
which we are assiduous in collecting,
and put into the heap, that constitutes
its whole value. The fermentation
induced by the dung and liquid man.
ure, and the action of the lime or
ashes added, work upon the earth, ad-
herring to the roots of the weeds, and
forming a considerable part of both
sods and muck, and devel"p an ad-
mirable quality Of plant food. Hence
this element of the compost heap,
which is generally over looked as pos
sessing any special value, should
never be wanting. 1t has, moreover,
its own offices to perform of humus,
and in preserving, locking up, and
holding on to valuable ingredients of
plant food.
The compost heap should always be
laid in even layers, and each layer
should go over the entive heap, for
thus only c,n final uniformity be had.
We do not mean special purpose COM
posts, but those made for general farm
crops. 1t would be we'll if every par
ticle of dung, liquid manure, straw,
litter, leaves, weeds, ETC., should be
worked together into uniform fine
compost, and there is really no SUBJ
tantial reason why this should not be
done. The gardener would plead for
certain special composts. 1t might
perpaps be well to make special hen
manure compost for corn in the hill,
and taking the general compost as a
basis, to make one for turnips, by the
addition of large percentage of bone
dust. All this may be done establish
once the rule to compost everything of
manurial value, and we have in pros
pect an abundance of farm made fer
tillzers at all times, and for all crops
victory over weeds, good place for
decomposable trash of all kinds, a !
sacred burial ground for all minor
poultry, whose precincts
invaded. There will

Everything will be daily
gathered for the growing compost
heap, and the harvesting of the man
ure crop, and its increase day by day
all the year round, will be source of
constant pleasure to master and men.

A Hint about Weeds.

In harvesting Indian Corn and
Wheat, We cut them long before the
grain-the seed, is ripe. When the
grain in either is fully formed, the
stalks are cut; experience has shown
that the ripening process goes on ; the
stalks contains sufficient nutriment to
perfect the grains, and it does this af-
ter the plant is cut away from the
root. Indeed, the grains, thus treated
often comes to greater perfection, than
if the plant were left until the seed is
fully ripe. What takes place with
these crop plants, also occurs with
weeds. Many weeds, if cut up while
in flavor, still have nutriment enough
in their stems and leaves, to perfect
and ripen crop of seed. 1t therefore
happens, that the mere cutting up Of
many weeds, and leaving them to dry
upon the ground, does little towards
their determination. The common
Purslane-or "Pussley," for example,
has remarkable vitality. its very sue
culent stems will remain alive for
weeks, and even continue to grow af-
ter they been deprived of the root
1t is one thing to cut up weeds
with the hoe; it is equally important,
and it should always be donc in gar
ders, to gather up the weeds by the
use Of rake, and carry them to
brush heap, where they ultimately be
burned.

THE PALMER-SULLIVAN COMPANY
FAILING

1t seems that the Palmer-Sulllvan
company are breaking down. The
work has been suspended in Texas
and in Mexico; the following Mexican
telegram tells the story:
Mexico, February I, 1SS2.-Palmer-
Sullivan company have suspended all
their works. In Michoacan this has
caused some disorders, as this suspen-
sion threw out of employment sudden
", 5000 men, who found themselves
in a moment without .means of SUBJ
sistence. They have formed some
bands of highway robbers. 1t is said
the treasurer of the company cannot
account for the disbursement of S. ,ooo,-
900 for which there are no vouchers.
Such was the disorder existing in the
management. Public opinion Mas
changed completely respecting the
credit of this company.
In the meanwhile the Gould system
goes ahead steadily.

The Effect of CuIchaw.

Boston Herald
More than an hour was wasted in waiting
for the arranging of the ring. Sullivan stood
on the extreme western extension of the hotel,
chatting with his friends. Your correspondent
was near him when he turned to the view OF
the sea which lay before him. The water was
as smooth as pond. Far ont a white sail
cleaned in the morning sun, and a few fisher
man were rowing out to their ground. | saw
Sullivan's face change, and for second the
hard, determined mouth softened. "Whar
are you thinking of, Sullivan" asked your
correspondent. II was only thinking that
had never seen such a beautiful sea-" he re.

place spring crawling and sling vices
that rot out all the good timber from
the floors of his house. A sense o
shame devours his best traits as
hungry vulture carrion. The Journa
may not think it so of all boys, but
there be boys hardened beyond sen
sibility to shame, expulsion is the cure
The presence of such is a damaging
element in the school. All boys shoulc
be spared the exhibition in others o.
humiliation and abasement. Let the
school benches be purged of vicious
bows that can not be reformed.
The strong-minded element has
come to grief in Boston where no sor'
row ever touched its tender senslblll'
ties before. but it is sad. A few
evenings ago it prepared a grand re-
ception to the members of the Massa-
chusetts legislature, and the feast OF
reason, that was to wait on the. flow OF
soul, was adjusted on the most COM
prehensive plan. All the eloquent lady
suffragists were prepared to wrap up in
the folds of the star spangled banner
and howl till cock crow. But the
legislators, whose ESQ noses had been
all counted, failed to come to time.
Only five strolled in in the course of
hours. Now the fair beings have
their backs against an imaginary wall,
and are fighting for the dear life of the
great principle of woman suffrage
against the furious assault of an i'm
aginary army of fierce robber men.
The anti-polygamy bill of Senator
Edmunds passed the United States
senate on the 10th, every senator vot-
ing for it. This is a most noticeable
fact, inasmuch as the threats of the
Mormon body had been loud and
rancorous. Its voice was drowned by
the voice of the people. No senator
wavered. The bill is essentially politl-
cal. 1t DISTINGUISHES polygamy, but
does not make it penal otherwise, for
which other provision is being made.
No brazen polygamist delegate from
Utah will hereafter take seat in con-
gress. But this must, and doubtless
is, to be Immediately followed up by
prison punishment for all offenses
against the marital laws. The Latter
Day Saint theology must be broken
down in Utah by getting all depart
ments of the state government from
under its influence. When these meas
ures shall be taken, preparations may
be made for the funeral. The strangu-
lation of the monster vice will be a
dead thing. SO let the house bill be

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

THE suicide mania seems to prevail
all over the state.
GREAT floods are anticipated from
the western rivers.
We HAVE asserted that the so-caled
democratic press of Texas was in adj
vance of the democratic party. and we
are convinced we were light.
THE Orange Tribune proclalms its
independence of bourbon control.
Common sense and manhood begins
to crop out in the Texas press.
THE appordonment bill passed the
house on the 18th inst. That body is
to be composed hereafter of $50 men,
beers. of whom Texas will have eleven.
Half that number would constitute
more efficient House. Half the number
at less than half the paynow given would
more than double the inducement OF
men of the best class to engage IN
craftsmanship. 1t would cease to be
a scramble among third rate politicians,
more for emolument than from any
high sense of honor or ambition as 1t
now is. The working capacity of the
house would be far more than doubled
by being thus divided. But let Texas
now make the best of her opportunity
and stock her benches in the new con-
gress with good and true men. Men
who want Improvement in government
and who will, as prominent measure
of reform, reduce their own salaries to
the original $1,000, and then work
steadily for Texas. Let partisan zeal
be kept within patriotic bounds.
If there is anything calculated to
work the man of ordinary citizens make
up to boiling heat, and to cause him to
rush into the insane exercise Of swear
ing, it is just on his finding the tele-
graph wires and newspapers news
column occupied with the figuring of
beyy of noodles at the national capital
on the probable electoral vote of 1884.
What perturbed ghosts can move the
minds of these scabby politicians to
impose such trials on the public pa
tience? Everything is quiet, there is
no provocation to political excitements
outside ofthe congressional menagerie,
and even there Hon. Alex H. Steph-
ems finds calm and opportunity to make
hourly Geographic inquiry about the
health and behavior of his chickens in
his henery in Georgia. Why won't
these maniacs at Washington wait and
see whether the electoral college of
1884 is going to be honored and
adorned with the presence of men,
Der or two from the populous state of
Dakota whose adult population of
about &c, 900 are represented around

shall be done.
