Glycerine is a sure remedy^ One small drop applied to each eye will soon cause the eyes to open, or soften the edges of the lids so as to admit of their being easily opened with the point of a penknife. --Poultry IT is estimated that fifty head of poul­ try will make more than enough manure lor an acre of land--700 weight of guano being the usual quantity applied per acre, and poultry manure being even * richer than guano in ammonia and fer­ tilizing salts.. No other stock will give an equal return in this way, and these figures demand careful attention from the large fanner. A CANADIAN writer in the columns of the Cultivator is making it appear that ft. farming family disposed to home in­ dustry might squeeze their sweetening out of the beet without any great waste. Grind the washed beets, boil down the juice and feed the pummace to cattle-- that's the short of it.

Five hundred pounds per acre will suffice, spread broadcast and harrowed in; then sprin­ kle a little in each hole as the plants are set. Ashes are also a good fertil­ izer. Or, in place of ashes, muriate of potash will do as well. It contains 50 per cent of pure potash, and is now <jnoted at $3 to $3.50 per 100 pounds, and less by the ton. The following for­ mula is said to produce very large crops of strawberries : " One quart nitrate of potash, one quart glauber Baits, and one quart sal soda," all to be dissolved in water, one barrel f >r three pounds of the mixture, which is enough for a bed forty or fifty feet square; apply early in the season, from a wateringpot, several times till the fruit sets.--Exchange, I HATE increased the fertility of my land by feeding shorts, corn meal, brew­ ers' sprouts, brewers' grains, and beef •craps, and buying some hay. Then, in order'to keep up, or rather increase, the fertility of my soil, I feed shorts to my milch oows, because they contain fhosphate of lime, ammonia and potash. also feed brewers' grains, becanse the brewer has removed only the sugar from them, and I feed a little com meal. These are fed to make, in the first place, more milk; in the second place, better milk, and, in the third place, more and better manure, because, by feeding these, I am enabled to keep more stock and make more manure, and enrioh my land so that I can keep more stock, con- «ume more shorts, more meal, more grains, more hay, and more manure.

Incidents ot His Journey Down the Congo. I have endeavored to take you rapidly. through a few of our thousand ana one" experiences as we straggled through the dense darkness and mystery of the un­ known into light. A few exciting eon- tests I have briefly described--contests with human demons who delight in craft, fraud, treachery and cruelty, who re­ garded us much as we regarded the noble beasts that roved over the plains of Usuknma, as so many heads of seasoned game to be slaughtered and carved, and boiled and eaten. They attacked us with spears, assegays, poisoned arrows, and muskets, and at one time they act­ ually surrounded cur camp with hidden nets. They drove poisoned sticks into the ground, so that in the charge to scatter them from the neighborhood of our camp our people might have their feet pierced with these instruments of torture. On all sides death stared us in the face, cruel eyes watched us day and night, and a thousand bloody hands were stretched out to take advantage of the least carelessness. We defended our­ selves like men who knew that pusillani­ mity would he our ruin--that mercy was unknown to these savages. Out of the charity and regard for my own people, and myself as well, on whom devolved the responsibility of taking the expedi­ tion through these savage regions, I wished naturally that it might have been otherwise, and looked anxiously and keenly for any sign of forbearance and peace, as I saw my African comrades drop one by one from my side in the oblivion of the terrible wilds. We thank Heaven that these dark days are over. Yet w© had some briefest intervals of pleasure even during thai, stormy period. One pacific tribe--the day after a des­ perate battle with a martial tribe above, who, it seemed had oppressed them greatly--warned by the huge drums that sounded the approach of strangers, turned out in dense crowds along the river banks, while the boldest of their warriors manned their enormous canoes and bore down on us, taking care to cry out the magic word, " Sennene!" which caused us to drop our guns and echo the happy word with sucb ferver of lungs that the thousands on the banks, who might, have been a little distrustful, instantly distinguished its hearty sincere- ty, and repeated it with equal fervor, until for a time, even after they had ended, the forests across the river seemed to thunder mysteriously, "Sennene! Sennene !" We dropped our stone an­ chors abreast, and near enough to the vast crowds on the banks, and invited the warriors in the canoes to approach. From childish shyness they would not come nearer than fifty yards or so, and two old women--ladies, I ought to call them--"manned" a small canoe, and, coming straight to my boat, they brought their tiny vessel alongside, and after an introductory laugh offered us palm wine and a couple of chickens ! Presently the warriors, shamed out of their shyness--it was not fear--drew their canoes alongside--great enormous things, twice the length of our boat, and completely hid, almost crushed, the tiny canoe of the women; but the most pleas­ ing sight to me, to which my eyes were constantly attracted, was the faces of the women, and the tiny messenger of peace and comfort to us in the midst of our days of trial. On looking into the great war-canoe of this tribe I observed with pleasure that there was not one spear or bow and arrow in any of them, which caused me, to confirm my opinion of their tact and delicacy, to look more attentively at the crowds on the bank, and there was not one weapon of wax visible anywhere. Presently I observed one Huge canoe make off for the shore, load gourds of palm wine and baskets of potatoes, and return, each man singing enthusiastically. The potatoes were for me, the palm wine for my people. When I asked how it happened that they were so kind to strangers when we had fought three times the day before, they said that, though the drums above river summoned them to fight ue, some of their people had been up river fishing among the islands the day before, and the drums had caused them to hide themselves and see what took plaoe. They had seen us talk with the natives, offer clothes and beads, and seen them refuse all proffers and fight us. " They are always fighting us, and stealing our people, but we are not strong enough to kill them. This morning when you left that island where you slept last night we sent very early a canoe with tw© slaves--a boy and a woman in it--with potatoes and palm wine. If you were bad people you would have caught that canoe and made those two slaves your own, but when you allowed it to pass you, saying ' Sennene,' we knew that yon were good people and we did not beat our drum for war, but for peace. If you had taken that little canoe this mprning you would have had to fight us now. You killed our enemies yester­ day, and you did not injure our two slaves morning.

A circumstance that happened yester­ day, while not exactly thrilling or ro­ mantic, served to show the mettle of one of the oldest engineers on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. This engineer is named Curtis Elliot, and his horns is in this city. During his many years of ex­ posure he has contracted a severe rheu­ matic affection, which rarely troubles him while on the road, but when it does the attacks are sudden and alarming. Last night he was making the run on the through western train from Martins- burg, W. Va., to Baltimore. When a little more than half-way over the dis­ tance he was attacted with rheumatism, and within half an hour bis arms and Cobbett's Cartons Career, , Over eighty yeass ago, aooordin/? to the London Telegraph, a sergeant in Lord Etward Fitzgerald's regiment of foot, while stationed in British North America, happened to pass the hut of a non-commissioned officer of artillery and was struck by the sight of a young Eu- glish lass, the artilleryman's daughter, whose rosy and pretty face was beat low over the wash-tub. The thought at onoe struck him that she was the girl he wanted .for a wife, and he shaped hiB campaign accordingly with the most sat­ isfactory results. But the battery to whioh her father belonged was ordered elsewhere, and her lover at parting gave her a bag of golden guineas, telling her to spend what she needed and keep the rest for two years, when he would make her his wife. At the end of two years they met as agreed, but instead of being leaner the bag of gold had received accu­ mulations from the thrift and industry of the faithful young woman. They were married, of course, lived happily, and had a great many children. This young sergeant was afterwards the fa­ mous William Cobbett, editor of the Political Register and member of Par­ liament for Oldham. This in itself might be an old story, for William Cob­ bett has been dead for close on forty-five years, but one of his daughters died in London a few days since at the advanced age of 82. She was born in Philadel­ phia in 1795, where her father was then selling books. Throughout her father's long and incessantly active public career Miss Cobbett was the custodian of his papers and his chief assistance as an amanuensis, and a large part of his most stirring compositions went to press in her handwriting, and her hand directed the lightnings that were sent forth against Ministers and members of Par­ liament. By relationship and associa­ tion she was an interesting character, and by her death ar other living link has been lost from the ohain of history. Heller's Latest Jeke. Heller, as is well known, is an invet­ erate practical joker. One evening of this week while his sister was reading extracts from a book by the marvelous system of foresight, the magician warned the auditors that if they had any contra­ band correspondence about them it had better be destroyed, for it could be readijy scanned by Miss Heller. Pass­ ing down the aisle a few moments after this observation, his coot-tails were tugged at by a very fine-looking middle- aged lady who whispered something in his ear. " Certainly, certainly, madam, with pleasure," was the audible reply. And then, placing his hands on the shoulder of her male companion, Mr. Heller de­ manded that Miss Heller should read a letter that was in the gentleman's pocket The latter became obviously nervous over the proposition, and would have left the hall, but that the audience, com­ prehending the situation, burst oat in a roar of laughter and loudly called for the reading of the entire correspondence in his possession. This ludicrous call was earnestly seconded by the lady, which aroused the ire of the man; but, despite his efforts to appear indignant, he was obliged to contribute to the gen­ eral hilarity by hardly- suppressed smiies. Miss Heller, during a lull in the excite­ ment, gave the culminating point to the soene by reading an imaginary letter as follows: MOXEAY MOSNINQ, NOV. 12.

WRECK TBS HURON. An Automatic Horse. Mr. J. H. Nolan, whose ingenuity and suooess as an inventor have already se­ cured him a high standing in the me­ chanical world, has just invented a novel means of locomotion, which is in the form of an automatic or self-propelling horse, the locomotion being produced by the weight of the rider and the weight which is carried. The "ho Be," and its appliances are models of mechanical simplicity, and any amount of speed re­ quired can be secured, in fact it can be made to go a mile faster than the fastest trotting hone of the day. A small " hone" capable of carrying a man ton or twelve miles per hour, can be built at from $15 to $20 ; smaller one, whioh can be used by children for amusement »ni| recreation, can be built at from $3 to $5. The " horse" can carry oonsider2ble weight in addition to the rider. The person sits in position as he would upon the live animal, with the feet in stirrups and reins in hands, in which position he can govern the speed and "guide the " horse" at will. There was an exhi­ bition made with one of these " horses" recently, in a hall in this city, and, al-. though the room was small and unfavor­ able for either speed or ease of loco-, motion, a boy weighing sixty pounds propelled the " horse" at from six to seven miles an hour with the utmost ease. The experiment thoroughly estab­ lished the practical value of the inven­ tion.--Boston Traveller. -<•' LAST Bummer the teacher wko had been engaged for a school in Cayuga county, N.

Tbrllliiig Description of th« Scenes on the Vessel Following the Catastrophe < ~R*«HM-kable Swimming F^nta. Had the . life-saving-stations been manned, ertk} Hfeeouldhave been sa^d. Nothing but a *jn$djbfat belief in b<&p from shore eau|fd|t^ ̂ «t Idea of life. None but yoang fiiefi were, saved, nien who were able to stand the buffeting of the waves upon the wreck, and were afterward able to reach shore. No offi­ cer had a life preserver. They were all given to the men. Each officer that got in effected his escape by hard swimming. Ensign Young, who started first, v> i»o left the wreck in the dark to go an un­ known distance to the shore, wit h the sole idea of carrying a line to save his com­ rades, is the hero of the hour. This un- preeedentedly cool, brave, unselfish deed is not the first great action of this naval hero. Once Young jumped overboard in midooean and saved a sailed who had fallen into the sea. Young is a very mus­ cular man, stands about live feet seven, and weighs in the neighborhood of two hundred pounds. When he set out to fiad the shore he stripped off his clothes and floated on his back. He sank with every approaching wave, and husbanded his strength carefully for the next. If he had not lost his line he would certainly have opened up an avenue of escape for his comrades. Mr. War burton thus ex­ plains how there was such a great loss of life. He says there was no panic on board, and two hours after the vessel sank he went below and changed his clothes. No one thought thera was any immediate danger. He says ; " The greater portion of the men were on the topgallant- forecastle. Some were in the main rigging,,"and some td the misszen rigging. Capt. Ryan, Mr. Palmer, and several men were in the first launch. We did not take those positions until about half-past 4, when it was dangerous to re­ main aft, We had been up to that time in the cabin and under the break of the poop, but the sea washing through the oabin sent us forward. In a short time the flood-tide came, and I was compelled to hold on to the pin-rail. ° ^" The sea was so heavy that it waa with difficulty that we held on, and we suf­ fered a great, deal from the sea washing over us. I held to the pin-rail on the starboard side, and every sea that came over me would wash me right under the rail, bruising my legs ami feet We re­ mained there until just before daylight, when we discovered lights in the cabins on shore, that gave us assurance that we had been seen, and we of course expect­ ed that help would oome" to us almost any moment. After this Mr. Young started ashore in a balsa, but no one followed him. Soon after some who were still clinging to the vessel were washed off, and -vwj, who remained could see them drifting out to sea. Some jumped off to swim ashore, but were served in the same Way, whioh caused us to believe that there was no chance of getting to the shore by swimming. Besides that, we expected to reoeive assistance from the shore, knowing that there were life-saving stations there. Most of the men held on to the vessel until they were exhausted, ind, When they were washed off they had not strength to make a straggle to get to the aUre, Those of us who were saved were confident that if those stations had been fully manned and in operation nearly every life would have been saved." Mr. Warburton was asked as to the whereabouts of the Captain at the time the vessel Htruck. He said: " The Captain was oertainly awake at the time the vessel struck. As near as I can re­ member he and Mr. Palmer were in the first launch on the starboard side, which was fast to the davits and suspended. It was impossible to launch them. The Captain and the officers and men who were with him, went there for protection from the sea, whioh finally came and carried the aft davit away, and the Captain was washed away 'and drowned. The boat was taken out from the vessel by another sea. This was between 4 and 5 o'clock. Another sea carried the boat back to the ship and threw it down from the cradle. Mr. Palmer was knocked out of the boat when it ciifiae back. The next sea car­ ried the boat away entirely. Eight lives were lost from that boat. During $11 this time the men were very cool. There was' no miy timo. Whoa I was <Mrried off the ship I determined to make a start lor the shore. I had been dashed so much against the pin-rail that my legs were bruised end it waa with diffi­ culty that 1 could make any progress. I took off my overcoat and moved to the starboard ohains and there tried to take off the rest of my olothes, but before I oould take off any of them I was washed off the ship to the outlying spara. I tried to get on top of them, and almogt exhausted myself there, but oould not succeed. 1 was washed away from the spars, and then started to swim for the shore without anything to support me. I was first carried by the tide out to sea, and thought I was going out all the time. My first intimation that I was nearing land was 1» seeing telegraph poles on shore, whicn I first thought were the masts of vftufels. Every onoe in a while a wave wori|4i!pset m© in the water, send me some distance arooud aad torn me over three or four times, and it was with great difficulty I reached the Surfaoe again,, but I found these waves were •ending me to the shore. When about three-fourths of the way from the wreck to the shore I picked up a part of an oart which I put under my arms and so sup­ ported myself, whioh enabled me to keep my head .s^bove the water, I think that saved me. -I was about to give up when my foot struok bottom. I then made another straggle to get nearer the beach, when the undertow carried me out. I would have been lost had not some fish­ ermen rushed in the water and helped me ashore. ' ^ ! San Francisco AnuMtments. A bull fight in San Francisco, intend­ ed to be a harmless modification of the Spanish sport, was unexpectedly san­ guinary. A savage bull was selected for the purpose from a, herd that had been running wild. Thousands of spec­ tators assembled. Ramon Chevama, a Mexican, was the vaquero, and his task was to ride the bull. Chevania's red dress maddened the previously infuri­ ated beast, and for ten minutes the for­ mer dodged and the latter lunged around the arena. At length Chevania got on the bull's back, clinging to a strap. At that instant a drunken butcher jumped into the inolosure, beet on the feat of plucking out one of the bull's eyes.

Doxology vs. Benediction. The Rev. Dr. Skinner, of the First Presbyterian church of Cincinnati ob­ jected to the singing of the doxology by his congregation at the close of the ser* vices, as had long been the custom. He thought that the worshipers sang dis­ cordantly, and by his order the organist omitted that part of the devotions. Members complained to the Music Com­ mittee, whose Chairman ordered the singing of the doxology to be resumed. The organist hesitated which to obey, but concluded that his position depend­ ed more on the Music Committee than on the pastor. What followed is thus de­ scribed by the Cincinnati Commercial: " During the reading of the last hymn at Sunday service the organist informed the choir that the doxology would be sung immediately after the close of the hymn. Dr. Skinner overheard the re­ mark, and, as the last strain of the hymn died away, he sprung up in the attitude of delivering the benediction. There was a struggle to see which should get in his work lint, the pastor with his bless­ ing, or the organist with his doxology. They started off together, and there was a mingling of doxology and benediction for a moment, till the pastor paused and ordered the player to stop. The player insisted, but the tune was knocked out of time by a thundering order to 4 Stop this moment!' and the frightened organ­ ist stopped. Then the pastor dismissed the congregation."

A few weeks ago two travelers, who were breakfasting in an inn at Little Courcelles, near Paris, called for a bot­ tle of wine, and the innkeeper cent a ser- vuiit into tlio cellar to fetch it. After waiting a long time for the girl to return with the wine, and as the travelers were now impatient, the innkeeper himself made the descent into the cellar, but was not seen again. One of the travelers rose from the breakfast table in alarm, and ran down cellar to ascertain what had happened, and his companion waited in vain for his reappearance. There was now only one man m the tavern, and he was too wise to vanish from the scene so abruptly as the rest had done. He ran into the street and called in the neigh­ bors. One of these, a physician, ven­ tured as far as the door of the cellar, and pushed it open so as to give egress to the noxious gases imprisoned there. After the cellar had been partially venti­ lated the neighbors founa on the floor the bodies of the four persons who hail disappeared so- mysteriously. Three of them were restored to consciousness, but the girl, who had led the way, died. On the previous evening the innkeeper had left a vat of must in the cellar, and the carbonic acid gas emitted from the fer­ menting liquid had poisoned the air. The Mole Strike. Once there was a mule. He had a pair of hmber legs with heels at the end of them. Mule thought his master did not give him corn enough to eat. So one day, as the boss was passing behind him, he lifted up his heels and boosted him on fie other side of the barn. This was what Mr. Mule called a strike. He thought he oould get all the corn he wanted now. Presently he wanted water. He didn t get it, though. He wanted more corn. He didn't get that. He went to bed that night without his supper. The next day he did not have to work, he did not have to eat, either. He didn't have any company. AH he had to do was to stand still and think. He Couldn't think why that master of his did not oome to feed him. The next day was the same, and the next. Before that mule had anything to eat again he had grown so gaunt and gentle that he was willing to keep his heels on the ground. The strike was ended.--Du- quoinijll.)
