LIPPINcoTT's MAGAzTNE.-The largest
and most important article in Lippincotts
Magazine for May is Capt. John Codman's
on Idaho and Montana. which is not Il
mere descriptive paper, but deals with the
identical questions of the western terrific
ries, the relative claims of agriculture,
stock raising, andmining, with the Indian
problem, and with the probable future of
the country. In strong contrast with the
boundless enterprise, varied activity and
growing wealth of the northwest is the
stunted and sluggish existence still to be
found in some parts of the southwest, and
amusingly depicted in "Ashore with q
Florida Sponger," by Ernest II gersoll;
while another Florida sketch, "Among
Citrus Blooms" by Charles Burr Todd,
gives picture of what is most fascinating
in the same region, with Il particular
account of the finest orange plantations in
the world, and anecdotes of Mrs. Stowe,
Jefferson Davis, and other celebrities. As
pendant to this, IAN Afternoon at Ash.
bourne" by J. A. Dickson, gives char NJ
ing glmpses of one of the garden spots of
tuo gully hohiO VI NOoi I<llOt,
and the place where Handel composed the
Messiah" and Tom Moore wrote his
"Cbimes." "Great Minds and Matrimo-
n.y." by L. ID. Morgan, deals with topic
old and yet ever fresh, and just now
timely in connection with 1.-THE case of
Carlyle and his wife, which is one of those
discussed by the writer. "Seven Stroll
ers," by Margaret Bertha Wright, is an
illustrated paper, and an article on Charles
Lambs Dramatic Attempts, by j.
Brander Matthews, is fine specimen OF
discriminating criticism, enivened by
anecdote and epigram. "The Jewel in the
Lotos," illustrated by beautiful full page
engraving after drawing by Hovenden,
maintains the strong interest of the pre-
ceding instalments. "Adrift on Pensacola
Bay" by William Murfree, ST., is a very
amusing and we'll written story. Out of
Money" by Emily f. Wheeler, is very
graceful and charming, and Lite Mary
Whtlow by May L. Wilkins, is auaiut
and pathetic picture of child life. DR..
Dix's position in regard to social morals
and female education is discussed in the
"Mouthly Gossip" and the critical notices
of new books ii a larger space than
usual.

FLOWING AND UARRowING.-Our cor,
respondent at Hollis, Mr.. Blake, says: u
cannot agree with farmer Sterling IN
regard to not blowing ground. ! think
farmers should plow the ground after Ter
every crop, no matter what it is; it VIII
pay more than money at interest; then
harrow it thoroughly and harrow again.
That is one great trouble why so many
fail to get good crops; they will send ihei },
team to that two acre piece and say: "Weil'
now, John. we want to plant that piece
to. morrow; you need not 60 over it but
once; that will do; it ought to be narrowed
more, but we can't STOP Brother farmers
don't do this; stop and send your team
out again, if you don't believe me, ana
narrow one-half of that piece thoroughly
say twice over and lap one half each time,
and next fall you will be convinced. You
cannot pulvcrize your ground too much.
1t is not like the old iady's pie meat; II
will not poison. '-Mirror and Farmer.

In the manufacturing districts the out
look for the summer is ominous, and it is
feared that strikes will take place in most
of the trades. On the first of June a
strike will begin in the mills and furnaces
of Pittsburgh and the adjacent country
which will throw one hundred thousand
men out of employment. And in Penn.
sylvania, New York and other central
states, the tanners, shoemakers. bricklay-
ers, cigar and tobacco makers and other
trades are disconnected with their present
wages. Should they all cease work, the
loss to the country would be immense.

THE TAX.DoDGER'S PARADIsE.-1he
refuge for unwilling taxpayers has at last
been discovered in Vermont and the
facts may be of some interest to the inhab.
itants of ST. Adams. The untaxable
territory where the lister is unknown and
the collector never comes is about one
mile square and is called "Notown." 1t is
situated where the corners of five towns,
Sherburne, Mendon, Chittenden, Pittsfield
and Stockbridge ought to come together
but they do not, and consequently the PEG
pie of this favored region have no grand
list, no iron clad oaths to take and no taxes
to pay. Sosays a traveller who has lately
visited the happy inhabitants of Notown.

A passenger on the fast express, Mon,
day afternoon, had narrow escape from
mutilation and perhaps instant death
He was standing on the platform, smok
ing, when, Just as the train was up at
Waterbury, he fell from the car and lay
for a moment with one leg across the track
He was quickly snatched from his perilous
position y a gentlemen who saw him
fall. In moment more he would un.
doubleday have lost leg. 1t is supposed
he fell in fit, as his appearance when
lying on the platform would justify such a
superstition; and he admitted that he chad
smoked too much. ~ Messenger.

THE MYSTERIES OF PY.EMIA.-At VOL.
verhampton, England, DR.. Mauby on
March 18th, at post norton, gave one
finger little scratch on splinter of bone
He at once washed the place with carbolc
acid and took the best care of it, but in
vain; for in a few days he died. DR..
Newman testified at the inquest, that no
cure was known for such blood poisoning,
and that the healthier the subject operated
on, the more virulent is the poison. and
that in the earliest stage Of decomposition
it is more dangerous than in the second
stage.

Hosea G. Blake, graduate of The Yer
mont Methodist seminary, class of 1873,
and of Amherst college, class of 1882. now
in the Hartford theological seminary,
writes to the Congregationalist concerning
"Empty Pulpits and College Students"
He thinks the lack of pulpit candidates is
due, not to the remissness on the part oil
the colleges, but to neglect by the parent {
and pastors in earnestly and tenderly
bringing these subjects before the minds
of the young men.

The peril of what may happen when q
man is awakened from sleep in alarm and
confusion, if he is accustomed TO rely or
his pistol for security, is far greater than
the peril of burglars. These accidental
of friendly persons are far more
frequent than shootings of dangerous per.
sons, and all the members of household
where u loaded pistol is kept on hand have
more reason to be in terror of it than Of
any felonous assault to which they may
be exposed. Boston Aduertiser.

and Chief Wade of the police force has
had a narrow escape from death at the
hands of one of the species, who, in an
insane freak, undertook to shoot Mr.. Wade
and only failed of murder because his aim
was poor. This is peculiarly an age OF
cranks-pistol cranks, dynamite cranks,
and cranks ad infnitem. Severe remedies
are in order, else this evil will continue

of partly evangelical, partly nationalist
spiritualism seems to have entered it as a
ferment. which may some day bring
either destruction or reform to the Rus
