This is the name given to the bricks
which are now manufactured in Ger
many, in considerable quantities, from
slack of smelling furnaces. According
to the process devised for this purpose,
known as the Hartmann operation, and
which differs from anything of the kind
heretofore described, the high furnaces
are provided with a continual flow for
the Stag, which runs through a narrow
gutter, formed in the sand, into shall
low pit, through which small stream of
water is kept running. BY this chilling
process, the Stag assumes the form of a
fine gravel. An endless chain at once
lifts the Stag out of the pit and loads it
upon cars. By grinding this material
flue in cement mill, it is formed into
an excellent sharp building sand; the
great bulk Of it, however, is used, with
out further reducing its grain, for making
bricks. :


In the Hartmann operation, the Stag
sand Is mixed with one half of its NOR
tar in trough, in which three shafts
provided with long blades rev0lve. 1t Is
then shoveled into the brick machines,
each of which turns out about twenty
five bricks minute. These are piled up
in the open air for drying, and are ready
for use after about six weeks. They con-
tinue to harden on exposure to the air,
and are said to possess even greater
strength than ordinary burnt bricks.
They are extensively used for all kinds
of buildings, their light grey color pro-
ducing a very agreeable effect, and the
roughness pertaining to their surface fit
ting them particularly well for taking
and retaining a coat Of mortar.

Every intelligent person should know
how to ascertain the state of the pulse in
health then by comparing it with what
it is when he is ailing, he may have some
idea of the urgency 0fh his case. Parents
should know the healthy pulse of each
child-as now and then person is born
with peculiar slow or fast pulse, and the
case in hand may be of that popularity.
An infants pulse is one hundred and
forty; a child of seven years, about
eighty; and from twenty to sixty years,
it is seventy beats minute, declining to
sixty at forescore. A healthful grown
persons pulse beats seventy times in a
minute. There may be good health
down to sixty; but if the pulse alwaysex-
ceeds seventy, there is disease. The
machine is working itself out; there is a
fever or Inflammation somewhere, and
the body is feeding on itself-as in con-
sumption, when the pulse is quick,
thatis, over sixty, gradually increasing
with decreased chances of cure, until it
reaches one hundred and ten or one hun
dred and twenty, when death comes be-
fore many days. When the pulse is over
seventy for months, and there is slight
cough, the lungs are affected.

A, B and 9 combine their means and
credits to make corner in July. They
therefore quietly begin in May to buy
corn to be delivered in July. They
gradually buy all the corn in the market,
and, of necessity, must buy all that ar
rives, paying for the latter whatever is
demanded. When a purchase is thus
made, seller and buyer put up a margin,
either in cash, or certificate, or deposit.
AS soon as the corner becomes known


there is an effort made to break it. The
settlement takes place at three p. m. on
the last day of the month. Those who
have sold corn to the corner and have no
corn to deliver, pay the difference be-
tween the price at which they sold and
the ruling price at the close of business
on the last day. As the corner has thus
purchased sometimes five times as much
corn as there is to be had, amounting to
millions of bushels, and the price has
advanced ten cents bushel, the profit
is enormous. AS the prices advance, ad-
ditional margins are required. Those
failing to put up the additional margins,
lose what they have already put up. The
anti-corner factions seek to so crowd sales
on the corners as to exhaust its capital
and credits, and render it unable to buy
at the advanced prices. Thus, the corner
is compelled to send out in the country
and buy for cash all the corn in sight, to
prevent having it rushed into Chicago at
the last moment. These are excit-
ing times. Corn at such a moment
may be purchased of the corner for ship
ment, from six to fifteen cents 'bushel
less than it is selling for on Change for
delivery during the month. Each time
there is corner, there is a crash, some
times of the corner men, and at other
times of the anti-corner men. The whole
proceedings arc of such questionable
honesty, that the Legislature of Illinois
has declared the operation of corner a
felony. 1t is nevertheless still practiced.
Corners are attempted in wheat, oats,
barley, pork and lard, and some of them
have been quite successful in pecuniary
way. 1t requires nerve, audacity, and
money, or credit. Recently bank here
went into corner, issuing its certificates
of deposit for margins; the corner failed,
and so did the bank, and the certificates
have never been paid.-,ScTibner.

The jury in the case OF Bishop Lee, ac-
cused OF participation in the Mountain
Meadow massacre, failed to agree, end
was discharged. No one was surprised
at the result. 1t was Just what was ex-
pected. Lee had the intense support of the
Mormons, who constitute the great major
ity OF the population in Utah, and the pros
ecution labored under great disadvantages.
The jury stood nine for acquittal to three
for conviction, wich is the same rs in the
other and still more celebrated case at
Brooklyn. 1t would be a waste OF time and
money to atiemp. to bring the Mountain
Meadow assassins to justice. They have
too strong following. The church of the
Latter-Day Saints is bound to stand by
them. To convict Lee would be to convict
the church, and strike fatal blow at its
very foundation. OF course, whatever per-
jury, bribery or pressure" of any kind
may be necessary to his escape from JUS
tice, will be furnished without hesitation


The developments on the trial were such
as to satisfy every reasonable man that Lee
was implicated in the massacre, and tha,
the horrible deed was perpetrated in accor-
dance with the policy of Mormonism.

A correspondent of an exchange says
that there is no known remedy for the dis
ease known as hog cholera or anthrax fever
"a blood disease, akin to that known as
splenic fever in cattle-but prevention. 1t
is doubtless greatly consequent upon the
practice of feeding hogs upon the refuse of
cattle fed in the fields upon corn. There
may be many reasons why this should en-
gender serious diseases. Smut, which is
common in corn, is poisonous, and when
eaten by cattle may be voided in their dung
without having fatally affected them. But
when the droppings are searched over by
the hogs for the undigested corn they con-
tain, some of the smut, rendered more ac-
tually poisonous by its passage through the
bowels of the stock, will be eaten by them,
and occasion this fatal disorder. In the
same way, diseased condition of the stock
may be communicated to the hogs, although
it may not be fatal to the former. There is
no more certain method of communicating
diseases of the blood, such as cholera and
typhoid disorders, than by means of the
excavations of infected animals. Hog chol-
era is unknown at the East and it is very
certain that the system of management of
hogs common at the West, is productive of
much of it. AS this seems to be present
necessity of Western agriculture, the incon-
sentence must be borne as well as may be-
The proper treatment, to be taken upon the
occurrence of the first symptoms, which are

to hide away and sleep,is to administer four
ounces of Epson salts with four drains of
sulphur and two drains of ginger in half
pint of warm water, sweetened literally
with molasses The food should be changed
at once, and cruel of oat OF barley must
be given. Two drains of sulphite (not sui
phate) of soda should te given, dissolved
in the feed, every evening for week, and
then one dram of sulphate of iron (copperas)
in the same way for another week. When
the diarrhea begins, the case may be con-
sidered hopeless.
