If Dr. Johnson had stayed little
longer and blessed the world with his
observations he might have changed
his mind about the little product of so
many chimes being only fit for horses
and ScOtchmen. The oat is now worked
up into great many useful forms and
is popular with all classes of society.
Oatmeal is now the staple dish of the
poor in this country as universally as it
was half a century since, when every
Scotch mother satisfied her child's hum
ger with that alone. The methods of
preparation are as numerous as are the
varieties of grain. The oatmeal is pre-
pared by grinding the kiln-dried grain;
the grits or greats become such by de-
priying the grains of their integuments;
these are the first principle, and the
other preparations are OutgrOwthS Of
these. The cultivated Oat is an annual,
but the genus contains perennial spe-
CIeS. The Oat is especially a Northern
grain, reaching the greatest perfection
in cold climates, and IN Southern coun-
tries rapidly degenerating. The heavy
seed brought from the North of England
and Scotland to this country gives
much lighter grain than the original.
There are aOOut seventy species of the
avena saliva, the common oat, only two
of which are natives of this country.
The Oat occurs in all parts of Europe as
a weed in cultivated fields. In Cali
fornia it occupies wide tracts of country,
to the exclusion of other plants, and
plays an important part in agrical-
ture, as it is cut before it begins to
ripen, and then makes valuable hay.
The composition of oats is less known
than that CT the other cereals. Chemists
differ widely in their opinion oft; they
talk of oil and gum, gluten and starch,
albumen and sugar. \ noted chemist
found in the ashes of oats silica, car

The East Hartford Tragedy.
he Trial of the COlOred Man-SOme
 Damaging Evidence Against the Ac-

The Trial of the oolored Man-some
 Damaging Evidence Against the Ac-
 cused.
 The preliminary examination of Brooks Johnson, charged with numbering the Jud- son sisters, was held in the basement of the Congregational church, in East Hartford, yesterday. Important evidence against the negro was furnished Two hundred specta- tors were present, including many colored men mostly from Hartford. Brooks wife was present, and there was one well dressed white lady in attendance, who proved to be the wife of John Judson, brother of the murdered women.
 Samuel F. Jones and Gilbert 0. Calhoun appeared for the prisoner, and Judge Bris- COG represented the State.
 Various evidence of preliminary charac- ter was taken. Harry Anderson's testimony to the effect that he met a man about II o'clock on the night of the fire within short distance of the Judson house, and that the man had on rubber boots and long over- coat, seemed to be important evidence as he was subjected to 8 lengthy cross-examina- tion. The accused wore rubber boots and l also was the owner of an overcoat. Fifty l feet so from where the witness passed the l man he found in the road piece of paper which proved to be receipt made out in the name of one of the sisters. The inference if 1 that the man in the rubber boots dropped it just before he met the young man Anderson 1 Witness stated that there was water in the
 street and yet that the paper was not wet-it l was simply damp. Mir. Jones triedi to make
 the young man acknowledge that. he could
 not tell whether he wore boots or shoes, anc I when he crowded him into corner he swore positively that he had on boots, but could
 not tell whether the man was white or black.
 It was expected that more evidence would be adduced sufficient to warrant the holding | of the accused for the higher court.
