A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT pRoHIB
TING PoLYGAMY.

General Rosecrans, member of con-
gress from the San Francisco district,
has prepared the following measure
which he will introduce in the house of
representatives at the earliest possible
opportunity after its organization
A joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States prohibiting pulygamy :
WHEREAS, in pursuance of duty to
guard the development of that large
and more rational Liberty for every
unit of society and that higher cvili-
cation which consists IN the domination
of reason and justice over the passions
by needlul constitutional amendments
and provision we have forever prohibi-
ted such things as reason and expert
ence have shown to be hostile or i'm
peding to such developments aud
amongst them the slave trade and even
slavery itself aud
Whereas, Polygamy, condemned for
its contravention of reason, its degrad.
ing influence on the character of the
female sex. its brutalizing effects on
the male sex and its general repug-
nance to the spirit eff modern progress,
has always been considered so unlikely
to be tolerated amongst us that no
constitutional prohibition of it has hith-
erto been deemed necessary to prevent
its growth under the protection of
state and territorial law and
4
hibition has enabled designing men un-
der pretense of new revelation from
heaven, to appeal to the interests and
passions of poor ignorant people at
home and abroad and to teach them
that religion sanctions and the United
States allows the practice of polygamy,
and to diffuse the poison of this barba-
reus practice through the Territories of
Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho,
Montana and Wyoming to the great
injury of the future well being and lib
critics of the inhabitants thereof, and to
the interests and good name of the
whole people therefore, by the senate
and house of Representatives of the
United States of America in congress
assembled, be it
Resolced, That pursuant to the pro-
visions of article 5, constitution of the
United States, the following amend
ment to said constitution be and the
same is hereby proposed for ratifica-
ton by the legislatures of the several
states, to-wit : Amendment XVI, Sec
tion 1.-Polygamy being incompatible
with our civilization, is forever prohib-
tied in the United States, and all places
under its jurisdiction. Section q
Congress shall have power to enforce
this by appropriate legislation.
Resoloed, That the secretary of state
shall promptly forward authenticated
copies of tkis joint resolution to the
several states.

The Depth of the Sea.

The real depth of the sea can now
by means of the ingenious instruments
devised for the purpose, be ascertained
with a reasonable degree of certainty.
Ii has been thus shown that the Baltic
between Sweden and Norway, is 1926
ieet deep; the Adriatic, between Ven
ice and Trieste, 1870; the English Chan.
mel, 800; the Irish Sea, in the south
western part, 1000; the Mediterranean,
east of Gibraltar, 3,1OO; off the coast
OF Spain, $500; by the Cape of Good
Hope, $4,000.
The basins of the Southern Hemis
phere dip and rise alternately from the
equator toward the poles, causing very
unequal depths of water. Captain
Ross famous experiment in this way
is probably familiar to all. BY throw.
ing over heavy weight to which a
small line was attached. he succeeded
in penetrating about 27,OO0 feet when
the weight broke off without touching
the bottom. IL is well known, howev-
er, that greater oceanic depths than
this have of late been reached, and
even during the exploration of the
Gulf Stream under Maury, soundings
of the ocean were made t. the depth
of $4,000 feet, or more than six stat
ute miles--a vast depth, indeed, and
greater it may be said, than the eleva-
ton of any mountain above the sur
face.

A Triumph for good Literature.

Among the publishers who have car
ried into their work serious convictions
as to their duty to the public in the
matter of supplying good literatare, and
who have resolutely resisted all temp
tations in the more lucrative direction
of that which is simply sensational, an
honorable place may be claimed for d.
Lothrop & Co., Boston, who have ac-
complished in the United States work
second to that of no publishing house
in the elevation of the popular senti-
ment, and the creation of demand for
wholesale books.
In general way, the public are ia
miliar with the aims Of this house, and
have come to regard its imprnts upon
book as guarantee of excellence in
all essential qualities.
Concerning some of its recent publ
cations, we present the following inter-
esting items called from the american
bookseller, and other sources.

ed sketches of Longfellow, Whittier,

American Poets. Is vo. cloth, gilt
edges, $400.
In The Poet and the Children, for
which John G. Whittier contributes the
opening poem, Matthew Henry 10th

for young folks any where to be found.
The volume has profusion of choice
illustrations from drawings by Sand
ham, w. Parker Bodfish, Miss L. b.
Humphrey, Miss Northam, Jessie Cur.
tbs Shepherd, and score of other ar
lists equally deserving of mention
In The Kingdom, Of Home, with
its beautiful illustrations aud elegant
binding, Mr.. Arthur Gilman, with ex-
cellent judgement, has gathered the
best of the poems that relate to the
"Kingdom" which he has in mind and
since the most beautiful of all songs
have been inspired by the love which
centres in the home circle, it is not
much to say that this is a collection OF
the best of all songs Extra cloth,

How 10 Feed Horses,

M. j. Storer, in lecture before an
English farmers club, spoke of the
feeding OF horses as follows How
must horses be treated that they NAV
be able TO perform certain amount of
work without injury 10 their system 7
In the first place, they must have food:
In the secondplace, they must have
grooming and, in the third place, they
must have good stabling. In regard to
FOOD, OF all animals the horse, in com.
parison to its size, has the smallest
stomach it is, therefore, OF great i'm
portance that his food should contain
as much nutriment as possible in the
smallest bulk, more especially when
undergoing hard work. Hay and oats
have this qualification to n greater de-
gree than any other of tho feeding
stutfs in general use, and that
they should form the staple food has
been proved by long experience.
Bruised oats are very suitable for old
horses and those that bolt their corn,
but beyond this they have nothing
specially to recommended to them.
The average quantity of oats requir-
ed to keep horse undergoing hard
work in good condition is about TWEEN
ty pounds per day. OF course some
horses would cat more others cannot
be induced to consume more than four
teen pounds. Drivers of contractors
horses are practically aware of the fact
that the more they can get their horses
TO eat, the more work they will do
But the result of over-feeding and over
working Is the premature death of
many valuable animals. Indian corn,
when it happens to be cheap, may be
advantageously used in the proportion
of one to six; the only objection to it
is that it causes torpidity of the bow
els. This must be counteracted by
giving an equal proportion of bran.
Beans, but for their heating tendency,
would form a very suitable adjunct to
oats, as they contain large proper
tion of nutrtiye material They may
be safely given to animals that are hard
wrought and upward of seven years.
A horse can't be maintained in good
health on grain aloue the stomach re
quires certain amount of mechanical
distention to keep it properly. Hay
and straw serve this purpose. Ordina-
ry allowance should be about twenty
pounds per day; something like five
pounds in the morning, five pounds at
midday, and ten pounds at night. A
few years ago, chopped hay became
greatly in vogue; but the princi.
pal argument in its favor was that the
bad hay was eaten along with the good.
This tells seriously against the plan, as
horse is certainly better without hay
in his stomach than with it.
All kinds of straw are inferior to
hay, oat being the only variety that
should be used; it does we'll when horses
are idle, as they are not liable to get
into too high condition on it.

REVIVE AND ORGANIZE CLUBS, Etc
This is the season for reviving and or
ganizing Farmers Clubs and similar
institutions. Some one well says that
if farmers would keep up with the spir.
IL of the times they must meet together
and discuss the important questions
that the age presents. There is no bet.
ter school for farmers than such organ
izations offer Valuable information
can be acquired, and the practice of
speaking in public is self improving
Every school district should have de-
batting society Of some kind to keep its
inhabitants wide awake, seeking to
be posted on all the issues of the day.
Such societies have an excellent inhu-
ence on the young. Here the young
orator gets his first lessons and acquires
confidence to express his thoughts
Speaking is an art acquired only by
practice, ike all other arts, the earlier

Fine Sand for Glass.
INTERESTING DESCRIPTION OF THE EXTEN-
SIvE SAND WORKS NEAR MCvEYTOwN,
ON THE JUNIATA-How THE SAND
is OBTAINED.


The extensive sand works near Nc
Veytown, ON the Juniata, are thus de-
scribed:
Two drifts or veins, one hundred and
ten feet wide, and running the one
eight hundred feet, the other six hun
dred feet in opposite directions, Weld
over four hundred tons of owwhite,
silicious sand for the manufacture of
the best American plates glass. The
vein now being worked is eighty-five
feet from the surface, and as under
meath another, the two being separa-
ted by about fifteen feet of sand-rock,
which can at anytime be cut through.
1t is pitch dark, and .the atmosphere
is permeated with fog which renders
the little oil lamps worn by the miners
useless at distance of few feet. The
rock is so hard as to require blasting.
Atlas powder being used, but crumbles
Into powder on exposure to the air.
The entire output is transported to the
mouth of the drift by single mule
hauling two cars on tramway. The
cars are hauled one at time up an in
clined plane into the "works" proper
by steam power. The buildings are a
hundred feet long, single story in
height A new engine room, contain
ing a thirty-fve horse power engine,
replaced the one not long ago destroy,
ed by fire. The largest pieces of rock
are fed to a vibrating breaker of great
weight and power to considerably re,
duce the sand stone. These smaller
stones, together with all not needing
breaking, pass under pair of broad
iron wheels, each weighing $500
pounds, revolving in such manner
that one follows the other, water free
ly circulating about them.
The sand is now carried by a sheet
iron strainer from which the coarser
particles are returned to the crusher
1t is then washed in inclined wooden
troughs, being forced upward against
descending streams of water by means
of the Archimedes screw, a principle
much in use throughout the building.
A continuation of this process results
in depriving the now clean sand Of
most of its moisture. After draining
on a sloped floor it is wheeled into
several driving machines, some using
hot air and others steam as the dry
agent. Archimedes screws bring the
dried sand to the foot of an elevator,
where it is carried up in small triangu-
lar buckets to the top, from whence it
is poured into wagons, hauled in six
mule teams to the freight depot, nearly
a mile distant, and transported to
Pittsburg, Indiana county, West Vir
ginia, and occasionally across the At
lantic. The power by which the ma
chlnery is run is furnished by the canal
thousand feet distant. A large tur,
bine wheel connected with iron ropes
running on large wooden wheels in two
towers, transmits the force necessary
to operate one set of crusher, while the
engine runs another. Both sets can
use canal power when, for any reason,
the engine fails TO work. The works
have doubled their capacity during the
past year, and if the Pennsylvania rail
road company build the line now in
prospective, across the river, the out,
put will be increased.
