A PrIsoner Bndly CIubhod

Eliza Dyer, colored, was before the police
court yesterday, charged with assaulting
another woman named Frances Turner and
using profane language. The prisoner had
to be carried from her cell up to the dock,
and her counsel claimed that her injuries
were the result that she received at the hands
of Policeman Norcombe. The complainant
stated that the defendant beat her in the face
and knocked two of her teeth loose. The
officer testified to being called on to quell the
disturbance and put the defendant under
arrest The prisoner claimed that the officer
put her under arrest when she was partly
dressed, and when she insisted on dressing
herself and on seeing warrant for her arrest
he grabbed her and dubbed her. The officer
denied this statement. Judge Mills said, III
disposing of this case: "As stated the other
day, an officer can make an arrest under three
circumstances es-when he has proper war
rant, when an ofiense is committed in his
presence, and when there is a hue and cry
raised. After disturbance is over and an
officer is called he is not to 90 into any mans
premises without warrant and make an
arrest. If he does it he does it at his own
peril" The court dismissed the charge of
profanity and the charge of assault went over
till to-day for evidence for the defense. A
magistrates warrant was aiterward issued
against Policem an Norcombe for clubbing
this woman.

Salt on Land.

The value of salt, except for its antiseptic
properties, and as continent seems not to
be generally understood. 1t is used eXten-
sively in certain localities on land, sown
broadcast, at the rate of from five to twenty
five bushels 10 the acre.
Frequent allusion is made in the Scri ptures
to the using of salt on land for various pur.
poses. Piny almdes TO the use of salt on
land in his time. Its chief value in agricul-
ture seems to be in destroying the Larvae OF
insects and the germs of weeds, in stiliening
the straw of grain where there is tendency
to lodge in preventing smut ON grain, and
causing it to fill out plump and heavy. A
few years since, the writer was greatly an
moved with various insect and worm pests in
his orchard Having previously tested the
value of salt in destroying worms and weeds
in the garden, quantity of refuse salt from
pork packing establishment was obtained
and sown broadcast, fifteen bushels to the
acre. The result was most gratifying, in the
destruction of vast hordes of insects and
worms, and in the destruction of weeds. II
also had very marked benefit on the fruit
Subsequently salt was sown at about the
same rate on piece of mucky land, aiterward
sown TO wheat The result was that the
grain was plump and heavy, the straw stiff
erect and bright; whereas, in former years
the grain on all such land would be badly
shrunken, and the straw rusty and LODGED
badly.
Salt is of cooling nature and absorfs
moisture; hence its value on dry sandy land
and in dry seasons.

A farmer should not break up more land
than he can cultivate thoroughly; half-tilled
land is always growing poorer, while well
titled land is constantly improving A
thrifty and purdent farmer will not devote
his sole attention to the improvement of GER
tain fields on his farm, because the land Is
easy to work att and let other portions of
his premises go uncultivated, and grow
nothing but brush, boys, briers and stones
A farmer should never have more cattle,
horses or other animal stock than he can
keep in good order. An animal in good
order at the beginning of winter is already half
wintered. Nor should he let his cattle en-
dure the chilling storms ofwinter in an open
yard or field, whilst few dollars expended
in the way of making comfortable stables
would amply repay him in saving fodder,
and afford greater amount of milk.
A farmer should never depend too much
on his neighbors for what he can by careful
management produce on his own land He
should not make it common practice to
either buy or beg fruit while he can plant
trees and cultivate them on his own ground
nor annoy his neighbors by borrowing
tools TO work while he can make or buy
them. "Thc borrower is servant to the
lender"
A farmer should never he so immersed in
political matters as to neglect doing his va
rious kinds of work in due season, and to
snug up matters and things for winter; nor
should he be so inattentive to politics as To
remain ignorant of those great questions of
national and State policy which will always
agitute more or less free people

Testing Canned Goods.

A very little care ON the part of the pur-
chaser will determine whether some accident
may have caused deterioration in the article
and rendered it unfit for food. This detero-
ration will generally make itself known by
the ends of the can being rounded, or bulged
out by reason of the gases generated in the
interior, or sometimes there may be q very
small hole in the can, perhaps not visible to
the naked eye. The air entering this may
have caused the contents to spoil. The gases
evolved by decomposition escaping through
this hole do not bulge the can. The contents
are apparently good, and are discovered to
be otherwise only after opening the can.
Sometimes it happens that the contents of a
can are injured only to slight extent, but
enough to make them unwholesome, so that
the gases evolved are not sufficient, under
certain conditions of temperature, to bulge
the ends of the can, but under other condi-
tons of temperature the bulging might be
plainly evident. A peculiar exemplifcation
of this once came to the knowledge of the
writer. A lot of tomatoes having been receiv-
ed by him at western depot, the cans were
taken out and examined in order to exclude
the "swells" There was found to be quite a
number ofswells, and they were laid in a
pile to be inspected by the proper officer
with n view to their condemnation; a few
Nuys, HoWtfCl, clupSc'i tHc DlllCtT
could attend to this duty, and when he made
examination of them he declined to condemn
them, and very properly, too, for they had
all the appearance of being good, and not n
swell among them, and no action was taken;
but in n day or two the weather changed, it
became hot, and about then the tomatoes
being again examined il was found that the
"swells" were all there and that all there
were "swells." The explanation is simple.
When the tomatoes were assorted and the
swels excluded the weather was warm, and
the evolved and expanded gases had force
enough to bulge the tins, but the weather
having cooled by the day they were submit
ted TO the inspector, the expansive force of
the gases was lessened, and not sufficient for
bullying the tins. One lesson to be derived
from this incident is that before using a
canned article it would be advisable if practi-
cable to place it where it would he subject
to moderately warm temperature for a few
hours, and if the warmth causes it to bulge it
should not he used finally it may be said
that fresh vegetables and fruits, and those in
cases also, should be carefully inspected
before use, and if the same skillful judgment
were alike applied to both, it would often be
found that the canned article has more to
commend it, has more of the freshness be-
longing to its nature, as if just taken from
the fields where grown, than has the sO-called
fresh article--too often wilted and stale; and
further injured by the odors and heated
fumes that pervade the city market stalls

Few men have enjoyed such an enviabe
reputation for wit and eloquence as Sargent
s. Prentiss, of Mississippi, who was one of
the leading lawyers and orators of the South
He was pedagoguc in the vicinity OF
Natchez, and used to say that in teaching the
boys how to shoot ideas he cleared ground
enough of birchen rods to entitle him to a
pre- empton right of public land
Such was his presence of mind that the
most embarrassing situation failed to throw
him off his guard. Once when engaged in a
political discussion, he had for his antagonist
prosy, verbose speaker, who purposely
spoke against time"
1t was nearly dark when Prentss rose to
speak. Just as he began jackass in neigh
boring yard commenced hraying 1t was nm
amusing scene. The animal kept ON braying
until Prentiss friends showed their annoy
ance, and his opponent roared with laughter
But the orator waited patiently until there
was Il hull. Then casting cOmical look
upon his prosy antagonist, he turned to the
audience and said:
gentlemen, did not come here to-day
TO reply to two equally. eloquent speeches."
And down he sat amid the most uproar-
ious applause.
On another occasion his sense of delcacy
and his presence of mind eXtricated him
from what might have proved most un.
pleasant position. Henry Clay his political
idol, was n guest of the ST. Charles Hotel
New Orleans. A large crowd collected in
front of the building, and clamorel for n
speech from the eloquent Kentuckan.
Mr.. Clay came forward said Il few words,
and then, to the disappointment of his admir-
ers, retired
Some one discovered Prentiss at n side
window, and at once there went up the shout,
"Prentiss Il speech II speech -
He was dragged against his WILL to the
front of the porlico, where he was greeted
with enthusiasm. AS soon rs silence was
restored, he said;
Fellow citizens, when the eagle is soaring
in the sky, the owls and the bats retire to
their holes"
Before the shouts which followed this COM
plment to Mr.. Clay had ceased Mr. Prentiss
had disappeared.

of the mediums stringent injunctons that no

l.. l.. Langstroth, n noted honey producer,
and author of a standard work on bees after
number of years experience with Italian
bees, arrives at the following conclusions
They are more prolific, keep their broOds
more compactly in the combs, and their
swarms are usually earlier and larger than
those of the black bees.
The Italians defend their hives against rob-
Der bees whether of their own breed or
others
They gather larger stores of honey, In
many aparies the amount of honey has been
doubled by the introduction of the Italian
bees.
They are more watchful of their comb, and
consequently lesa damage is done by moths.
They are less irritable than the black bees,
but will sting when once angered
They work freely upon pasture that other
bees would shun, or ut most work spnringly
